I am excited about today! IF we can win we would gain a lot of respect.

I look for McNabb to break out this week!

Re: Redskins vs. Texans Gameday Thread
 

Unfortunately I think we'll get gashed by the run today.

If you remember the 1st quarter during our preseason games our first team defense was getting a lot of big 10-20 yard runs against them. The Texans more than likely won't have the running output they had week one but it looks like they are a smart enough team to know how to execute their gameplan.

I'm seeing them using their ground game effectively and winning convincingly 27-13.

I agree with Skinny, in addition the Texans are a very balanced team. Unless our lines hold up we may be in for a long day. 30-17 Texans

Re: Redskins vs. Texans Gameday Thread
 

I think we'll give up some run a "little' but not be gashed for 230 like the colts...
but i also think our Defense will cause turnovers again like Haslet preaches and I also think Mcnabb gives us some points for the Offense as well.

I think we score in the high 20's or low 30's today...
and give up anywhere from 14 to 20 pt's...

If we can get production from our O and continue the pressure/turnovers with our D,we will be [B]VERY[/B] hard to beat imo...

We win today boys!!

Re: Redskins vs. Texans Gameday Thread
 

They dominated a shitty Colts defense that lost Sanders early. Texans were one the worst running team last year...one good game against the a mediocre defense and you guys act like they have the best run game in the league? Please!

Re: Redskins vs. Texans Gameday Thread
 

I like our chances in a tough high scoring game. I'm not gonna predict a score but I think the d can force another 2-3 turnovers and if the o-line does the job it did last week against a weaker d-line this week, the offense can get a few scores through the air against the Texans questionable secondary.

You have to remember how susceptible we are against the run. Preseason and even during the week one we were giving up big gains on the ground.

The reject cowboys were too dense to realize they were gaining 4.7 per carry and didn't want to change their pass heavy offense to win the game.

The Texans obviously proved that they will alter their strong suits to combat an opponent. The Texans threw for over 4500+ yards last year and Schaub didn't even see 110 passing yards in his first game.


I can't say that we have the same balance they do as a team especially on offense. I still think they win convincingly today.

Re: Redskins vs. Texans Gameday Thread
 

today is going to be a good day!
Man if we can go 2-0 it gives us some great confidence, respect and momentum. I wont be jumping on the superbowl bandwagon....we all know how that turned out after zorns great start!!!
But in really excited to see how our team plays against the texans
HAIL TO THE REDSKINS!

Re: Redskins vs. Texans Gameday Thread
 

Today is my birthday, so here's to hoping the team will make me feel good about celebrating the entire evenng after leaving the game.

Contrary to the belief of some, I like our chances today.....hail

Re: Redskins vs. Texans Gameday Thread
 

Don't forget the Texans were home last week. They will have to deal with the 12th man today. F ' em. We're winning this shit.

We don't have a NT. No NT=run all day.

Re: Redskins vs. Texans Gameday Thread
 

They'll get what we give them. This team can and does play 4-3 if the need arises. We have issues on defense but let's not blow up the Texans.

Re: Redskins vs. Texans Gameday Thread
 

It shouldn't surprise anyone that the [so called] experts are picking the Texans, they're still watching last weeks game.

Somehow Kemo is not going to get blown off the ball now? And Albert has a bum ankle, limiting his effectiveness.

Re: Redskins vs. Texans Gameday Thread
 

Was Haynesworth ever effective to begin with?

Happy birthday Longtime!

I have my own questions about our run defense. But maybe after a week of study, the defense will close gaps which appeared against Dallas. It ain't over until the fat lady drinks a toast to Longtimefan.

Skins 23-21

Re: Redskins vs. Texans Gameday Thread
 

[quote=Momma I;735025]Was Haynesworth ever effective to begin with?[/quote]Yeah, he was better than anyone plugging up the middle in 2008. He may be a headcase, but a very talented headcase. Dumbasses like you can't simply understand that talented people are not necessarily "good people" in other regards and thus judge those things completely separately.

Re: Redskins vs. Texans Gameday Thread
 

I honestly don't like the feeling of this game. Listening to some of the 'experts' picks this week, has either been us winning barely or them winning by a lot.

I do think though that Arian Foster won't have a huge day like he did last week.

Andre Johnson on the other hand I'm not so sure about; he might have a big day.

I think we'll be fine with Mario Williams though, we'll just put a TE or Clinton on his side, to help out either Trent or Jamaal.

We will get more sacks though on Schaub.

Re: Redskins vs. Texans Gameday Thread
 

I'm actually not that nervous...[B]AT ALL[/B]...

Course...lol
I have us going 14-2...
You'll have my attention,when we play the Bears on the road...

Re: Redskins vs. Texans Gameday Thread
 

This game is a toss up in my opinion. The fans will be fired up esp after last week so that will help. We got to stop the running game and get ours going.

Re: Redskins vs. Texans Gameday Thread
 

I just don't have any faith in our run defense. Gary Kubiak, unlike Jason Garrett, isn't a moron -- so when he sees a weakness, he'll attack it over and over.

The best we can hope for is to 'contain' Foster, hope he doesn't take any long runs to the house, and force them into red zone situations where our defense stands a better chance.

Re: Redskins vs. Texans Gameday Thread
 

People get way too caught up in previous games...
Just because Foster ran for 230+ yards against the Colts,does not mean he will again against the Redskins...

He could,but you can't bank on it...

Just the same as the Redskins not scoring an offensive TD against dallas,does not mean we will do the same against the Texans..

Each game is different,each gameplan changes,each team has different skilled players....

Kind of like asking a girl out....people
if I walk up to a girl and say..."hey,I think we know each other from working at "Banks R Us"...How have you been doing"? (Then an hour later I'm making out with her in the parking lot...)

Does that same line work on the next girl....? No,it does not.

Guys,quit getting caught up in the "what have you done for me lately"...mentality of each previous game.

How do you know McNabb won't throw for 379 yards and 4 TD's...you don't!!

Point is,we have an aggressive Defense that causes turnovers...
and we have players on offense that are good as well and both sides of the ball are adjusting to both scheme's.

Could we lose by a lot? absolutely...
But what if we beat the Texans 46-3
Does that mean were going to the SB or my prediction of 14-2 is spot on?
NO,it does not.

And the ESPN,NFL network are too caught up in each previous game or even season...
Each game is a new day...

Dallas did not lose to the Washington Redskins
Redskins made minimal mistakes compared to dallas,but we won the game playing inspired football and not letting up on Defense!

I believe we can and will do the same at Home against the Texans.
Believe it or not,the redskins are a talented team!

Despite what you hear from the nay sayers.

Re: Redskins vs. Texans Gameday Thread
 

I have a very good feeling about this game, here's why:

1) Inside Info
Remember when we played the Seahawks in Zorn's 1st year?
Zorn was able to tell the defense specific things that Hasselbeck didn't like.
Kyle Shanahan's inside information on Schaub but equally if not more important is his knowledge of the Texan's [B][I]defense[/I][/B] is gonna be a talent equalizer.

2) We will run the ball. We are a running team the Colts are a finese team.
Portis left a lot of yards on the field last game by just missing holes and cutback chances.
He started hitting them in the 2nd half and i expect he's gonna start off this game with the rhythm from last game.

3) Drops. Last game there were too many drops and players in the NFL typically don't drop many passes over the course a season. I can't see 2 back to back games of 5-7 drops. I expect the drops to become catches.

4) McNabb-Donovan and the passing we become more 'in sync' every week.

5) We will come after Schaub from every angle especially the ones that Kyle tells Haslett that Scahaub doesn't like

Skins 20
Texans 17

Amen brother. If you wanna crown em', crown em. This is not a strong running team, we are all to familiar with their scheme. Don't over react to one week. If anything, the main concern needs to be getting pressure on Schaub and containing Andre Johnson. Don't overreact to one good game against a division rival. Give the Skins some credit they have a chance in this game.

Thanks! Lotus, appreciate it.

Re: Redskins vs. Texans Gameday Thread
 

On ESPN Foster is reading me poetry?! Okayyyyy!

Re: Redskins vs. Texans Gameday Thread
 

I'm betting we learned a bit last week about run defense and can apply it today.
That and pressure Scab...err I mean Schaub and we win.

just that we are wearing the gold pants again.

Pocket $traight has to be related to Haynesworth so I can kind of understand and there are of course two sides to every argument.

This one seems very one sided to me.
