Re: Dallas Score Predictions
 

[QUOTE=SUNRA]There is no logic with your prediction. If we have a better defense than the Chargers, how can you predict Dallas scoring one less point than they did against the Chargers? That's crazy.[/QUOTE]

Because a better defense usually indicates the possibility that the opposing team won't score as many points. How is that illogical?

Also notice Sunra, that I didn't include how I thought the points would come. One of them might be kick or punt return. Another could be from a defensive touchdown off a fumble or interception.

24-13, Cowboys. I hope I'm wrong and Brunell throws for 350 yards and 4 touchdowns. We'll see...

[QUOTE=joecrisp]Sadly, Beemnseven, I think you're right on the money. :(

I don't think it will matter whether Ramsey or Brunell is the quarterback in this one. Ramsey would get eaten alive by their blitz, and Brunell's not aggressive enough to punish the Dallas D for clamping down on Portis like a pack of wild dogs.

I also watched the Chargers game last weekend, and Dallas impressed me-- particularly their offense. The Redskins defense is still good, but I don't like the offense's chances against the Dallas D. The offense won't be able to sustain drives or maintain possession long enough to keep the defense fresh, and Parcells will just start wearing them down with the running of Julius Jones.

Of course, the Skins could do the same thing to Bledsoe that the Cowboys would've done to Ramsey: ship him out of the stadium in a body bag. Both QBs are sitting ducks to a blitz-happy defense. If the Redskins decommission Bledsoe, they have a chance. Otherwise, I see Bledsoe making just enough big plays through the air to keep the defense honest and give Jones enough wiggle room on the ground to wear down the defensive front.

This game is in Dallas. It's Parcells knowing every move Gibbs is going to make. It's the recent history of Dallas dominance over Washington. It's the blind referees that always seem to follow Washington around to every crucial matchup. It's the one game that I dread every year, because the next day I inevitably have to face all those pompous, sneering Cowboy fans and hear "how 'bout them Cowboys?" hollered across the office building every time the game is brought up in conversation. It's not going to be any different this year.

Cowboys 27, Redskins 6.[/QUOTE]

Williams knows Bledsoe which balances the equation. I think this is a game of turnovers. Who is most likely to turn the ball over? I think this game reveals how good our defense really is and the genius of Greg Williams.

[QUOTE=SUNRA]When someone claims to believe in their team and then predicts that teams defeat against their rivals is beyond comprehension. All the years that Boston loss, some peple never counted Boston out. It takes a bold person to route for your team inspite of the rival.[/QUOTE]

I predicted the Redskins to win in a tight game 16-14. Regarding the Yankees and Red Sox, it is a different story, the Redskins don't have things like Bucky "Bleeping" Dent, and Aaron "Bleeping" Boone or the saga of Grady Little "Brain". Only because Kurt Schilling is probably one of the greatest big game pitchers of all time did they win against the Yankees. I remember clashing with you last year on Ramsey/Brunell, I am not going to waste my time this year.

You never backed up your prediction of the Skins putting up 31 points on the Cowboys D. How do you figure that?

Re: Dallas Score Predictions
 

[QUOTE=STPainmaker]You got point Blue star and I think we will lose but a little closer than your prediction Dallas 16 Skins 13 in OT.[/QUOTE]

Well, we haven't seen Brunell in an entire game, so the cloud of scepticism is legitimate. Brunell played a decent game last season against Dallas and definitley looks better than the year before. If he can hold on to the ball and not create turnovers, the Redskins win by their defense alone.

Like everyone on this thread, my 31-13 prediction is a speculative prediction that could be classified as wishful thinking or confidence in this team led by a healthy Mark Brunell. I think the inclusion of Moss and Patten adds a feature to the passing game that we have lacked for a long time. The ability to catch the ball and carry it for 15 to 25yds. is something the Redskins will do against a suspect Dallas secondary. I do not believe Brunell will turn the ball over, which is consistent with his play in preseason and last weeks game. Gibbs mentioned in a press conference, "You are going to see a different Redskins team on Monday Night." I believe him.

A lot of coaches know the book on Bledsoe, since he's been in the league so long and his flaws and weaknesses are well-documented (sits in the pocket like a statue, prone to mistakes and turnovers, tends to crumble under pressure). Hopefully, Williams's experience with Bledsoe will be beneficial for the Washington defense on Monday night, but Wade Phillips has plenty of experience coaching against Bledsoe, and it didn't seem to help the Chargers defense in Week 1.

The Chargers were able to sack Bledsoe 4 times last week, but Bledsoe did not turn the ball over, despite the pressure from the Charger defense. The Redskins defense could be more effective at pressuring and confusing Bledsoe, but they will need to force turnovers in order to give the Redskins offense a chance to score, and that's where I start to get concerned.

The Redskins' defense may indeed fare better against the Cowboys than the Chargers did-- at least initially-- but the Redskins' offense is unlikely to be as successful as the Chargers were. In fact, I would say that this Redskins offense is more likely to turn the ball over and present more scoring opportunities for the Cowboys, even with Brunell at quarterback. And with Brunell at quarterback, the offense will probably see more three-and-out drives, since Brunell-- like Brees-- is less likely to attempt the "riskier" throw that will probably be necessary to move the ball against this Cowboys defense. That puts the Redskins' defense at a disadvantage.

I think this game will be close early on, but as the defense spends more and more time on the field, and Julius Jones gets to keep pounding away at them, the Cowboys offense will start finding chinks in Gregg Williams' armor.

This game really could go either way, and I agree it will be a defensive struggle, but I'm giving the Cowboys the homefield nod. Their defense will benefit from the crowd noise and force more turnovers and three-and-outs than the Redskins defense will be able to overcome. The offense would need to play virtually flawless football, and I just don't see that happening. It never does against the Cowboys.

I think the whole greg williams knows bledsoe argument is overrated. That also means Bledsoe knows williams. You think that Parcells isnt sending the kitchen sink at bledsoe this week in practice?

Didnt your mama ever tell you, "If you can't say nothin nice, don't say nothin at all."

Seriously I think we beat the cowboys this time. Gibbs has a lot to prove in this game and we're going up against a Defense who depends on new players in key positions. I think Joe Gibbs will use that to his advantage and we will run on the new 3-4 defense enough to get them to stack the box, I just hope we have an answer for that. Pressure is our game, and we usually only shoot ourselves in the foot when we try to deviate from that game plan on D.
