Redskins vs. Giants predictions
 

Time to look ahead to week 2, what do you see happening?

I'll be the first here Matty. I think the Giants will pose a little more problem for us defensively as they will try to shove the ball down our throats and run between the tackles. The defense will get a true test to see if they can stop the run. The skins will also need to fix the ST coverage or the G-Men will run one back on us. I think the coaching staff will have them ready, Skins 24 Giants 10.

Well it is a rivalry so I see it being a little better game. But I dont think the Giants have much espcially on Defense. I see another big game for Portis, and Coles will get a lot of action. I think Cooley will continue his good play. Shockey will have another subpar game, and I dont beleive Warner makes it through the game. Score will be 24-13

I really think this is going to be a blowout- have you guys read all the stuff thats been happening over in Coughlin land? That team HATES him and wont lay it on the line for him. Skins 28-3

I could see that also. It is dicey over there, discipline is good but fining guys for showing up two minutes early. I always show up early I thought it showed that i was eager to work and learn.

This [i]should[/i] be a relatively easy win for the Skins. Warner is a sitting duck just like BJ was, and the Giants OL is worse than the Bucs. I predict another big day for the defense as Warner will get dumped at least 3 times and will be pressured in to throwing a pick or two.

Barber could give us some problems but he's about all we'll really have to be concerned about. The Giants have some talented pass catchers with Toomer, Hilliard and Shockey, but Warner isn't going to have much time to throw.

Portis should have no problem posting another 100 yard day as the Skins roll with the running game and attacking defense to a 23-10 win in the Meadowlands.

I never consider a divisional game a easy game by any means. Baltimore went to Cleveland this weekend thinking about a relatively easy game and got stomped. Yes the Redskins are better and I beleive they will win and probably do it pretty handled, but by no means should the Giants be taken lightly. Warner will not make the whole game.

I'm thinking laong the lines of 24- 7. We saw what happened at the end of last year when the G- men wanted Fassel out of there. They were not willing to play for him, if this is the case for the G- men and Coughlin now, I really do not see them posing that much of a threat to a 2- 0 record at the end of next week.

-No hand off errors

-taylor's first int/FF of his career

-better chemistry between QB/WRs

-more portis, this defense is BAD

-a better test for our defense (TB w/o pittman isn't exactly the KC gang)... at least this O is legit (though neither QB is ready to lead a team right now)

-many sacks, hopefully many stuffed runs...

28-3 (neither NY QB is worth much in the red zone)

i think our biggest challenges this year are the iggles and vikes, followed by dally-land and lewis/lewis (now THAT could be a 3-0 stinker)...

I agree with those but I dont think the Bucs offense is that bad, and really dont think the Giants O is much better, I dont like Warner and Manning is not ready yet, they have better WR but I still dont see to much from that offense.

I'll go with 17-3. I'll be interested to see how fired up the team plays. Will there be a bit of a letdown-week 2, weak team, no home crowd? Of course it is the Giants so I don't expect much of a letdown

Skins D will come up with at least 3 turnovers, maybe a TD. Portis will have another strong outing, and the passing game will be much better since the Giants secondary is suspect.

Skins win big - 27 - 3

I am also a little worried about a let down, hopefully they stay pumped and keep laying on the field you know. I guess my worries stem from the last few coaching regimes were we would get a good solid win and the next week the team look like poopy.

31-6

My Two Cents!
 

HOF Coach Gibbs and "Our Washington Redskins": 21
midgets: 17

:twocents:

I'd be really dissapointed if we didn't win by at least 21. D should post a shut out. Seriously.

My money is on Joe.

27-13 Redskins.

what is this i hear about coughlin fining some guys for showing up early for a meeting?

Out of all the acquisitions we made this year ( aside from Coach Gibbs, Coach Greg Williams has to be the most impactful. This man will blitz a team on a timeout! Did you see him working on the sidelines like a pitbull ready to tear another a**hole out of Brad Johnson? This defense has young LB's (Pierce, Washington) who can cover the middle and with Lavar free to attack this should be a clinic for the NY midgets. Warner nor Manning can take this kind of pressure. On the offense, Clinton left, Clinton right, Clinton down up the middle. Look for Darnerian McCants and Lavernues Coles to get a TD. Cooley and Betts perform well and we increase our winning streak to 2-0. Redskins 35, Giants 7

McCants wasn't even active this week. Kinda strange, but I'm guessing it will change week to week depending on the opponent and gameplan.

[QUOTE=d151b]what is this i hear about coughlin fining some guys for showing up early for a meeting?[/QUOTE]

Coughlin fined Micheal Strahan and a couple of other players for arriving 2 minutes early. The man is a control freak. Reminds me of a man named Marty. Coughlin's philosophy is arrive two minutes early equals being late. If your'e 30 minutes early, then your'e on time? You figure it out.

[QUOTE=d151b]what is this i hear about coughlin fining some guys for showing up early for a meeting?[/QUOTE]

Yeah it is said he fined Strahan $1,000 for showing up at a meeting at 8:23 for a 8:25 meeting. He was 2 minutes early and got fined. This is not the only time it has happened and there are several players taking it up with the PA. :coach:

[QUOTE=Mattyk72]McCants wasn't even active this week. Kinda strange, but I'm guessing it will change week to week depending on the opponent and gameplan.[/QUOTE]

I hope McCants doesn't become despondant. We need him. Thrash was in yesterday on Special Teams and one or two offensive plays.

Coughlin is ridiculous, I can respect what he's trying to do but there's a time and a place. The drill sergeant routine gets old quick especially with veteran players.

fine them for being two minutes late but early come on.

that is really the dumbest thing i've ever heard of a coach doing, excluding mike price. who, fines someone for showing up early? apparently, tom coughlin does. i sense a mutiny brewing aboard the giants ship.

The Giants will have had a week of film study to prep for our defense but again, our D will win the game for us. Sean Taylor will begin to make his case for Defensive Rookie Of The Year with 2 forced fumbles and 1 pick. One of those will be returned for a touchdown as the Skins win, 38-13.

terry bradshaw went nuts over coughlin yesterday,said he was disrespecting the players.it's tough to play for a coach who fines you for arriving too early for a meeting.i think the redskins win big 34-10,i can see gibbs challenging his offense this week to put on a show like the defense did yesterday.i respect warner,but he is slower than johnson is.if the defense plays and blitzes like it did yesterday,he may be sacked 10 times.i just hope he does'nt get tkoed and manning come in and look like joe montanna jr.that seems to only happen to the redskins it seems.

[b][font=Book Antiqua]believe it or not,when mike shannahan coached the raiders he was like that.maybe that is why he only lasted one year there.the vikings had a coach in the 80s named les steckel who did the same and he lasted one year too.bottom line,if the players do'nt respect you you will not last long.steve spurrier could also fit that mold.[/font][/b]

I do not see Warner or Manning standing up to our pass rush. I see a lot of fumbles if Warner is under center and a lot of interceptions if Manning is playing QB. The Giants offense should have a lot of trouble in the turnover department and provided Gibbs gets us out to an early lead (and keeps Barber off the field), I say we take em 24-13.

17-13 skins. Defense is great again, but the offense cools off as the game goes on again.

Warner's inability to handle pressure vs. Williams and his 11-headed blitzing machine?

The Dirtbags vs. a Giants defensive front that hates their coach?

Portis vs. a LB corps that gave up 119 to a scatback?

Redskins 24, Giants 3

I see a Redskins win.
I'd like to see more points on the board.
I'd like to see Rod Gardner catch better.
I'd like to see the Kick Off Special Teams get their ack together.
I'd like to see Arrington "welcome" Eli Manning to the NFC East His way.

Redskins 31, Giants 10

peace

We *should* absolutley kick the living chicken bleep outta this team. We just gotta make sure we dont overlook them, cause they got embaressed yesterday and will be looking to prove somthing at home. In any event, I dont think Gibbs will let us ease up and we should easliy win about 21-10 or so.

I think that the Redskins D will surely show up as they were fired up for the Bucs. I see definitely a Defensive TD and probably another fumble or pick after that. Like mentioned above neither of NY's QBs are sorry and will not do much of anything.
The O, as long as limiting their mistakes, will be productive and with another good performance from the dirtbags Portis will break 125 on the ground.
I hope that special teams will get some work this week.
Unfortunately divisonal games are always close and I see this one as so, 24-17.
GO SKINS

I see us controling the clock like we did against maimi. Our offense clicking a little better in the passing game..The defense will be outstanding....Mr. Manning, say hello to Mr. Arrington....that's gonna hurt.

27-10, skins.

The Redskins are three point favorites over the Giants at just about every Las Vegas book and Internet book. I'm going to jump on that line with both feet before it goes up.

I like the Skins to win this in a walk. Final difference should be more than 12 points.

man, normally vegas odd are a little more accurate a week out... that's a good deal.

As long as they don't look past this game and learn from there mistakes from this past game. They should be all set.
