ESPN Cousin Sal has Miami over Washington as his lock of the week. He thinks Miami will win by 3 TD.

That guy is a fucking assclown if he thinks the Dolphins will beat us by 3 TDs. This isn't the 2007 Patriots here.

[quote]Here is Sal's "Best Bet." He was 12-3-1 with this pick in 2015.

Miami Dolphins -4 (@ Washington Redskins) — "There is a mismatch on the board and it is Washington and Miami. Aside from San Francisco, no one had a worse offseason than Washington. You've got RG3-and-out. He is not even a factor anymore. Their offensive line somehow got worse from last year. In the preseason it was abysmal. The Redskins have covered one of their last eight at home. I'm taking Miami. Lay the four points. They are going to win by three touchdowns."

miami Dolphins?

Re: WEEK 1 : Redskins vs Dolphins Prediction Thread
 

He has been pretty damn good at picking games. 3TDs might be pushing it a bit though.

he's commenting on rgii like he's still playing and if he thinks the OL is worse, well... i'm not sure he's paying attention. if we lose in a blowout i'm going to be pretty upset.

[QUOTE=Mattyk;1119934]3 TD's?



Yeah I'd be surprised.[/QUOTE]


Ill be disappointed, but not sure this team can shock me anymore. I know there is always "talk" about improvement but i need to see it on the field consistently first. Cousins could easily shit the bed. That would not surprise me. Their defensive front could easily overpower our o-line. That would not surprise me. Our secondary could easily shit the bed. That would not surprise me. Bad calls, bad breaks going against us. That would definitely not surprise me. I would definitely put money on us plus 21 if I had to wager but we are fresh off a 4 win season and Jay has proved absolutely nothing yet as an NFL head coach. Again I am not saying we have no chance, but I certainly wont be surprised or shocked if we get blown out. Hey thats why they play the game. Cant wait!

I think it is a little much. On Bovado I put $100 on Miami at -3.5 and $100 on the bengals over Oakland at -3.

I'm guessing it is a 10 point game that is hard fought and earned against a Redskins team that fights but does not have it all together yet. Take that with a grain of salt because I'm a Dolphins fan. Meant with all due respect.

My team has sucked for a long time. Opinions are like you know what. Anything can happen Sunday. Thanks for being nice hosts. I am a bit of a homer for my team and I understand your thoughts also.

There is just something about this year. Have you ever witnessed a camp where the ball does not seem to hit the ground?

Our D isnt better until it plays better during the regular season. We have been "better" on pAper alot of times before.
Anyway as I said weeks ago Im going into this season expecting nothing so that I might be pleasantly surprised. Im sick of getting my hopes dashed. Lol. You cant really be upset when someone says the Redskins are going to lose bad these days. Until we go out and play better, lets face it, we are going to be looked at as a top 5 pick waiting to happen. We have won 7 games in two years people, the only ones who give us a chance anymore are us.

Never get too high or too low when it comes to the preseason.

Im so cautiously optimistic tonight. Its very exciting like Christmas Eve only Lets just say Santa has been less than generous with the "crap" he has left under the tree lately!

Hell yes. We blew out the Patriots week one last year and we all thought we were going to beat the world, only to be taken back down to earth.

Re: WEEK 1 : Redskins vs Dolphins Prediction Thread
 

I just want us to be competitive tomorrow. We need somethings to go our way to win, but certainly this isn't an unwinnable game by any means. Win turnover battle, win on special teams and run the ball effectively..we get the w.

I think you will be tough. I don;t know on the turnover battle, Our special teams is a big ? and you have very little chance of running the ball. Short stuff to the outside will be the ticket.

Re: WEEK 1 : Redskins vs Dolphins Prediction Thread
 

Any predictions on the bizarre, dramatic, unimaginable, never before seen in football events that will occur this season on or off the field? I'm going with Dan Snyder goes full Bruce Jenner and becomes Danielle Snyder, or we win three games in a row...

A little curious as to why you think we cant run the ball. I have not seen Miami in the preseason, so I say that without knowing... But from what it looks like, you have 3 pass rushers and an all around great player in Suh. Its not really a stout D line, its a pass rushing D line.

When you look at Detroit last season, the only place teams seemed to have success running against them was running right at Suh. Oddly enough, he was the weak link in their running defense. The teams that would try to run block him straight up with the guard, he was pretty successful. But when teams would pull the guard and hit him with a tackle or center, he tended to overpursue and leave his gap open.

It may be the best D line in the entire league. I watched all of the preseason for both teams. It probably will be the best front that Miami has ever put on the field in the history of the team. We have weak places on the team. This is not one. Detroit was #1 against the run last year. This line looks better. Our third team D line would start on other teams.

Detroit was number one against the run, but most rushing yards that Detroit gave up was right over Suh. Detroit also seemed to have a bigger, more physical D line than you guys do (again, mainly going off of what I read, have not followed the Dolphins in preseason). It still seems that your D line is built to pass rush, not necessarily to stop the run. Im not saying we are going nuts on the run, but im not convinced you can make a blanket statement about stopping the run with Suh and 3 pass rushers. If you guys get the lead and force teams to pass against you, I see the best D line in the league comment. But thats not saying that teams cant run the ball against it.

Mosley, that lined up next to Suh last year is on our team also. He is a back up.
I'm not sure where you get your facts from. One of Detroit's big physical guys is a backup player here.

It was down to the wire on if he was actually going to make the team.

Re: WEEK 1 : Redskins vs Dolphins Prediction Thread
 

Skins...just don't ruin my season week 1. A reasonable loss would not do that, but a sh*t show sure will. Spare me!

My prediction: 28-13 us. Mmmm mmmm Kool-Aid is good!

From reading the last couple weeks, seriously, apparently this years Dolphins team is going undefeated. Not fair that that franchise gets to have both undefeated teams.

Re: WEEK 1 : Redskins vs Dolphins Prediction Thread
 

Let's run the ball at them and stick with it.

Use Alf and Matt + our new OL and OL guru coach and establish our new identity. Have balanced playcalling and don't put it all on Kirk to carry the offense.

Let's reintroduce Garcon as a fixture in the passing game.

Defense. Dash needs to set the tone. Fly to the ball and thump, wrap, gang tackle. Let's seem so aggression.

DL/pass rush......sick em!

Re: WEEK 1 : Redskins vs Dolphins Prediction Thread
 

I'm looking for JG to adapt to the game as it's played.

He's got the QB he wanted to start. It's now time to show that you've adapted to the HC role in your sophomore year.

This game will be won in the trenches.

Re: WEEK 1 : Redskins vs Dolphins Prediction Thread
 

I just want competent game management. I want to see the OC/DC get the calls in on time. Aggressive play without dumb penalties by the defense. QB play that doesnt make you cringe when the offense takes the field.

All those things that most professional football teams do as a standard.

by trenches do you mean special teams mistakes, penalties, and bad HC game decisions? if so, you're absolutely right!

[quote=RedskinJake;1119561]Dolphins 24, Redskins 21.

KC goes 19 of 29 for 210 yards, 2 TDs and 2 INTs

Running game is mostly ineffective averaging 3.5 yards a carry.

Secondary plays well but gives up a few key plays.

O-line looks rough but serviceable, gives up 3 sacks.

Redskins hold 21-14 lead in mid 3rd quarter but Dolphins score 10 unanswered.[/quote]


I wasn't far off... Running game was excellent which I never saw coming.
