Skins v Vikings predictions
 

Lay 'em down here.

FD we're back to 0-0 now on our bet after I took the Falcons last week. Looks like it's gonna stay that way because I'm taking the Skins to break the home losing streak, 24-21. Kobra Kai nails a 45 yarder for the W.

Re: Skins v Vikings predictions
 

The Vikings are improved from last year. We aren't. I don't expect the Redskins to pull this one out.

If griff plays, I'm saying skins pull the win 27-20 if not then might as well watch another game because we'll get hammered.

So I'm going with a win at home finally!

I just want to see The Godfather's picks, so I can go opposite of him. His picks stink!

Re: Skins v Vikings predictions
 

I'm not sure if I can predict the outcome, but I will predict that the Redskins will at least go into the start of the fourth quarter leading the game.

Re: Skins v Vikings predictions
 

If RG3 starts and plays the whole game: Skins win, 34-31.
If RG3 does not start or does not play the whole game: Skins lose, 13-38.

I pick my nose, I pick my ass, and then I picked the skins.

Re: Skins v Vikings predictions

We aren't improved from last year? Seriously?

Re: Skins v Vikings predictions
 

Redskins 24
Vikings 28

If we were playing the Vikes in their house, I would pick us to win in a close game/last possession. However, because, our home-field advantage is seemingly a disadvantage, I picked the Vikes. One stupid play, one stupid play call, one stupid decision, one stupid use of a timeout, one stupid challenge will cost us this game. You heard it here first. We will FIND a way to lose this game!

Re: Skins v Vikings predictions
 

The vikings take it to us. No answer for Adrian Peterson. We will se how well that stat of one of the best rushing defenses in the league actually translates when a good team has a good rushing attack instead of being all pass happy because of our weak secondary. I foresee the Vikings actually clobbering us, but I hope we come to play. RG3 might be a bit rusty as well, it might take a game to get the cobwebs out.

30 - 10 vikings.

AP has three rushing touchdowns.

I've never heard that anywhere ever before

More concerned about Percy Harvin than AP these days. And, of course, Jared Allen.

We need to do the little things, catch the ball on offense and tackle on defense. And Kyle needs to not try to outsmart everyone

Direct snap on their 5 yard line. BOOM.

But no, really, if we control Harvin and AP, I think we'll do okay.

Obviously you have not read any of my posts. I believe I was the first to say it.

Surely the Skins have at least one stupid thing they can come up with...

Re: Skins v Vikings predictions
 

no stupid things, no blunders, Skins play hard on both sides and win 33-21. Defense gets 0 turnovers, but manages 5 3 and out drives. We convert an astounding 6 of 9 3rd downs.

RGIII and Hail To The Redskins chants can be heard over the broadcast station bringing shock and awe to the airwaves.

Re: Skins v Vikings predictions
 

D. Hall has 6 ints and the Warpath still blames him for the loss after giving up a 5 yard TD pass that loses the lead with 10 min left in the game, while hes on the other side of the field.

28-27 Vikings

This is my call. PASS the KOOLAID!!!

Re: Skins v Vikings predictions
 

Niles Paul break out game.
He will have two TDs.

Redskins Win.

Amen to that
Vikings kicked our ass last yr with AP out and a backup Qb,I see no reason they wont do it this game with Percy playing out of his mind and AP back.
This team beat San fran,which most people thought was a fluke or SF wasnt as good as we thought.Well it looks like it wasnt a fluke and SF is looking pretty damn good.
Of course this is a winnable game,were just not good enough yet.I think were not going to see another win till Carolina gets here

Re: Skins v Vikings predictions
 

forbath misses the game-winning fg from 31 yards out
goes to overtime
both teams score touchdowns after long drives on their first possessions
forbath kicks game-winning fg from 57 yards out as time expires

Re: Skins v Vikings predictions
 

As I said before, if the Redskins stop Adrian Peterson and get pressure on Christian Ponder then I expect a Redskins victory. I'm really not concerned about Minnesota's passing attack. I'm more concerned about Jared Allen getting to our quarterback, whether it's Griffin III or Counsins. Alfred Morris will show up and rip the Vikings defense for 130 yards on the ground. Regardless if RG3 plays or not, I expect the passing game to be good. The Redskins will win this game.

i would dare to say that williams does a much better job than polumbus. but is getting around someone like polumbus in the qb's sight > getting around a tougher tackle form the blindside?

it made sense in pop warner when the opposing team rarely passed.

I'd rather the Vikes stay healthy because apparently we were NOT prepared for Webb or Gerhart. I was SHOCKED how we can stop AP but let Gerhart run over us.

Re: Skins v Vikings predictions
 

I honestly think the Redskins finally put all three phases together this week and get their first home win in blowout style, heading into week 6 tied for first with all six division games left to be played.

Skins
> 40

Vikes
< 20

Re: Skins v Vikings predictions
 

Hope tells me we win. Reality says the opposite.

Mike and Kyle have struggled offensively when "limited" to a traditional pro scheme. Kyle's play-calling gets more predictable by the week just as we've seen over the last two years. Unless Haslett has an epiphany about running the 3-4 or we switch back to the 4-3 the defense will be garbage all season long.

So yeah, my gut is the Vikings shred us tomorrow on both sides of the ball. I hope RG3 is well protected and doesn't sustain even one big hit. That's all I'm focusing on until Mike and Kyle are gone, hoping RG3 stays healthy so the next coach walks into a franchise QB like Fisher was lucky enough to get this season.

Re: Skins v Vikings predictions
 

I'm always optimistic on Saturdays (then reality hits about 3 hrs after kickoff).

Redskins 37
Vikings 24

Banks finally breaks one for a score, D-Hall picks off Ponder twice and the Skins only commit 3 penalties (they're KILLING me with the penalties this year).

HAIL!!

If thats the score ill be even more mad to why our D is doing still horrible. I think this game we struggle a bit on offense Jared Allen has had our number these past 3 meetings INCLUDING KC.

So let me get this straight - if we beat the other team by 13 points and you will be [i]even more mad[/I]?? :doh:

Please Admins, can we get a peer reviewed system of flagging overly pessimistic/optimistic posters so it's easier to create ignore lists.

Re: Skins v Vikings predictions
 

Ok, so this being the first time "EVER" at a Skins game, and first time "EVER" at FedEx, first time "EVER" going to a NFL/Skins game with my oldest son, his first time "EVER" going to a NFL/Skins game, I'm going to predict a win. Plus the team is about due for a home win based off averages.

Skins: 34
Vikes: 24

I'm soooooooo excited!

Scored some free tickets :)

There. Now he can't be mad.

Or maybe he'll be mad because the Skins allowed 3 points. Or maybe we didn't score enough points! :Flush:

The amount of firsts in there has to be a harbinger of awesomeness, I hope you have a great time and that you're overestimating the score by at least 10 points for the Vikings.

HTTR!
