Skins vs. Giants predictions
 

Alright, I think we've spent enough time on the Patriots this week. Let's get back to talking about our team for a moment.

Last week I said I would offer no prediction, and they won. Therefore no prediction from me again this week. Let's hear yours.

Redskins 30
Giants 24

Eli will throw off his back foot. Collins will be sacked but he will not turn it over. Marcus Washington plays big.

Re: Skins vs. Giants predictions
 

Giants: 17
Redskins: 6

Re: Skins vs. Giants predictions
 

I'm thinking our D is going to step up big this game and in the cold Eli will struggle all game. Collins will play a good game but not as good as last week but enough to gat the job done. We will also see our running game pick up some and Portis will ave over 100 yards and Moss will have a few big catches.

Skins 27
Giants 17 or less

Re: Skins vs. Giants predictions
 

I think we struggle in really bad weather and it appears that there is going to be nasty weather.

Giants 13
Skins 9

Re: Skins vs. Giants predictions
 

I like the Redskins chances in this game. Eli Manning can be rattled. I hope Greg Williams go after him. There are three big concerns against the G-Women.

1) First, the Skins must contain the pass rush. One of best ways to slow down the pass rush is to stay out of known passing situations. That means the play calling has to be versatile, throwing on first down occasionally, running or throwing screen when they expect the pass.

2) Secondly, the Skins have to stop the run. The G-Women have killed the Skins in the pass with the run. Now granted that was Tiki Barber, but the G-Women run by committee can present problems.

3) Lastly, the Skins have to limit Plaxico Burress. The best way to do that is not give Eli Manning enough time to find the TREE. If Plaxico does catch the ball, they have to tag him and eliminate the run after the catch.

With all that said, I think the Skins are capable. I think Todd Collins has a lot to prove and he will show everyone how Al Sanders offensive works.

Redskins 24
G-Women 17

Re: Skins vs. Giants predictions
 

i hate to be a negative nilly, but I think we'll have no answer for their pass rush and collins will come back down to earth pretty quick. I give them the advantage because we're playing them at their house.

I think the weather is Soooo bad, we snap it to Randel El, and run their ass all over NY for the win!!
HTTR!!
No point prediction, as MK72 stated, I don't want to Jinx them as well

Re: Skins vs. Giants predictions
 

For the first time in weeks, the team will be able to compartmentalize Taylor's loss. Hurting and healing, but able to lace them up and get after it.

The Skins put together a two game win streak with a victory of the Giants this Sunday. Collins is very effecient and Portis grinds out an 80 yard game rushing, another 60 receiving.

Eli...well, you know the drill. I think he's good for two picks.

good job, 12th. Shameless plug:(

Re: Skins vs. Giants predictions
 

Skins 27
G-men 21

We'll get some turnovers; Eli will fumble & get picked at least once & Plax will fumble on a big play. The O struggles some, but contains the pass rush w/max protect & is able to run the ball just enough to be balanced & sustain some drives. The g men will make a push late but run out of time as the D seals the deal.

I expect a great game from the O line. They can't dominate but they will play their best & Gibbs will be keeping backs in to protect Collins.

Re: Skins vs. Giants predictions
 

And since I no longer predict "pain" for the opponent, we've been winning. So I no longer predict pain. I DO predict that Collins is smart enough to get the ball off against the blitz that NY will surely bring.

I actually think we'll slap around Eli quite a bit and win the game with all the injuries the Giants have in the backfield and secondary. It'll be close though.

20,10 Skins.

Re: Skins vs. Giants predictions
 

I just find it so funny that 81% of the people that voted think we are going to win. I guess homerism never dies.

The Giants are a better team than we are. I think Burress is going to have a big day against our depleted secondary. Giants d-line is going to dominate our o-line. Collins is going to struggle throwing the ball in the bad weather. They are at home and it should be an easy win for them. I hope I'm wrong.

Giants 27
Skins 13

Re: Skins vs. Giants predictions
 

I actually think that Collins will do just fine. The weather is going to be bad for both teams. Collins has the best grasp of Saunder's offense. That was a pretty impressive hot read on the TD toss to Betts vs. the Bears. I am not really sure that Campbell makes that play. Campbell makes plays with his feet, where Collins makes plays with his head. Skins win a close one 17-13.

We'll see who's right on Sunday.

Besides, what's wrong with thinking your team may win?

God forbid.

Re: Skins vs. Giants predictions
 

I have been picking the Skins most of the year but not this time. Sunday's weather will be terrible and the Skins have been terrible lately playing the Giants in NY. Add that to a back-up QB and patchwork O-Line and it all spells L for the Skins.

Skins 14

Re: Skins vs. Giants predictions
 

Sadly I have to say Giants.

I do think the Skins will make a great game of it, and I think Collins will play well for the most part. But I see the Giants getting to Collins several times, and us losing a close one due to a sack & fumble. Heyer vs Strahan. That just sucks for us.

Here's hoping we can get the running game going big time to mitigate that nasty pass rush against our statue QB.

Re: Skins vs. Giants predictions
 

You are picking the Giants because of the weather? LOL

The weather is just an excuse. It will be inclement weather for both teams.

I agree with Matty here. I always pull for the B&G. Let's reverse that score for a B&G win at 27 to 13 over the g-nomes.

Re: Skins vs. Giants predictions
 

While my heart says Redskins...I just can't see them winning this weekend. The Giants defense is playing much better than the Bears, plus they have game film of Collins from last week. I have a bad feeling that he will be exploited this week.

Giants 20
Skins 13

Re: Skins vs. Giants predictions
 

I PULL for them every week. If you asked me who I want to win I'd of course say the skins....

but If Im to base my opinoin on the recent history of these teams, the injuries, the fact that they have one of the best pass rushes in the league and we have problems with turnovers due to pass rush, and the fact that they have had a week to prepare for todd collins (there's probably a reason he hasnt had a start in ten years) and the fact that our running game has been inept, I'd have to logically say we're probably not going to win.

Not to say I'm not completely pulling for them, and I believe they COULD win every game, including the pats game... but much more often than not, we dont.

Re: Skins vs. Giants predictions
 

The weather slows down Usi and Strahan. Portis' 3.7 ypc = 20 play TD drives and the Giants are at a loss.
21-0 Skins

Homerism is thinking JC is a Pro Bowl Qb or that we'd be undefeated if not for those damn refs! Not that one WC contender should beat another. First time around the Skins beat themselves. Screw it, cancel the season. Any non-homer rational person knows the Pats will win it all anyway.

Re: Skins vs. Giants predictions
 

rephrase....


if you had your life on the line, would you pick the skins?

Re: Skins vs. Giants predictions
 

I just don't understand how anyone could spend time on a site talking about their team then at the end of the week pick them to loose. I'm just glade that our players/coaches don't have this feeling. I also like how people say in my heart I hope they win then come back with "they will loose to the Giants 27 to 3". As a fan and a person who has/ does play sports I have never went into a game thinking I cannot win nor would I pick my team too loose even if all of the cards are stack against me/us.

Smoot and Springs are gonna play right??? we should be ok if that is true. Plus, Saunders will design a gameplan to exploit the rush. I'm just worried about portis, he has looked horrible in the last few weeks...might have to give betts a run since he's fresh.

Film of collins? I don't think film of a backup coming in midway through a game counts. Saunders now has 10 days to work with collins.....the Giants have no idea of what the skins are gonna do. That doesnt necessarily mean the skins will win, but it definitely is an advantage.

Re: Skins vs. Giants predictions
 

I think weather will definitely be a factor.

While 10 days is a long time, it still doesn't take into consideration that our offensive line is down to bare bones, and the Giants have 2 of the better DEs in the league. Plus the Skins run game is non-existent right now. So, they will rely heavily on a guy who's 37 and has 1 start this century under his belt.

10 days or not, Collins showed some weaknesses last Thursday during the Bears game. I expect a good defense like the Giants to pick up on them.

It's only natural that I hope I'm completely wrong...

Re: Skins vs. Giants predictions
 

Trivia question,Joe Gibbs has been shut out twice as the Head coach of the Skins can you name the teams?

Sorry Warpath Nation, but we aren't playing 'Da Bearz again this weekend...my pick unfortunately: Vagiants 27 - 'Skins 10

Re: Skins vs. Giants predictions
 

Why is there a perception that the Giants are all that much better than the Bears?

They are a little better...like they have a running game. But that's pretty much where it ends.

they are better than the bears. they have plax, who's been inconsistent lately, but was right there in the conversation with to and moss earlier in the year, and can still be a threat especially to a depleted secondary. We played against the bears backup and the giants have the "unstoppable" eli manning. (hehehe) they have shockey and a run game and a pretty active front seven, which will go a long way in countering our best play makers. If we can get our receivers involved in the game we definitely have a shot, but Im just not sure with a suffering running game and todd collins we have much of a chance. I hope we do, but the deck is definitely stacked against us.

Very good ,nope I don't expect that at all .I believe the weather will play a big role in this game..I;ll go ..27-24 Giants but a very tight game.Look for Shockey and Tyree to help a lot.
