Redskins vs. Lions predictions

redskins5044 · 10-03-2007, 10:06 PM

wow. there are alot of predictions of us winning and scoring anwhere from 4 to 5 TD's. which i hope we can but highly un probable. we didnt open up the offense v.s. the giants who had a bad pass defense. so why know v.s. the lions. the keys to us winning are not giving up deep passes and prevent them from scoring on those deep passes. and we need to control the clock with a good mix of run and pass. and take our shots deep after we establish our offense. i predict a 20-17 win for the skins

B&G 19, Motor City Blue Cats 10.

BrunellMVP? · 10-03-2007, 10:49 PM

20-14 skins win

While I detect a touch of cynicism in your post (ha-ha) I basically f'n agree w/ your point. I just read the WP article revealing how Gibbs has lost 11 games since 2004 in which the Skins led at the beginning of the second half. That is ****ing unacceptable, and I say if the trend continues it is time for Gibbs to go.
Prediction: Skins 38, Lions 27 (We better win this game)

yeah,there was a hint of sarcasm to that post,while I do think it will be hard to beat detroit,its going to rely on def,if it turns into a barnburner I cant see our off magically springing to life,especially if Moss and Portis are out

Skins 20 Lions 17 (OT)

Suisham knocks down a 45 yarder to end the game.

GTripp0012 · 10-04-2007, 12:06 AM

There's a lot of reason to expect the offense to explode with or without Moss. Coming off the bye week is going to give us a big boost, and I would not be shocked to see Campbell come out looking like a different QB than he did in the first three games.

Might as well put this one on his shoulders, its something we are going to have to do eventually.

Oh yes, my final prediction:

pain.

I'm honestly more worried about this game than I was about the Giants game. Right now, the Lions look like a better team than New York, and I don't care that we should've won that game. They blew it in the second half, and I'm going to continue to question their ability to play with a lead until they can actually get up by 2 TD's and not sandbag it for the next 20 minutes!

What I'd love to see this week is for the skins to get out to an early lead and not just maintain it, but put the game out of reach, and do it early

prediction
Lions 27
Skins 28

(Cooley comes up big with a game winning TD ~~ SKINS WIN)

I just can't see us holding them to less than 3 TD's, and with the possibility of Moss and/or Portis out this week, the skins are going to have trouble, because Detriot will key on ARE all day. As far as the Portis injury goes, I'm not as worried about it as I am about Moss, because I'm confident that Betts can get the job done.

Our defense has gotten better, but I don't trust our secondary as much as I'd like to. Sure, Landry and Taylor are studs, but Carlos Rogers hasn't had a good game yet this year. We just seem to be giving up a lot of big plays in the passing game this year, and I hope Williams gave them all a lecture on tackling... that 2nd half was pathetic...

Well I'll be at the game yellin my head off this weekend too, as are a lot of you guys I'm sure.

hope we get back on track this week. 3-1, staying in 2nd place would be nice.

I really hope this won't happen but I have to admit that this could be possible! a déja vue all over again. I' m quite upset about this "gibbs" conservative football when we're leading. Just hope we'll win anyway.

35-21 skins

Hard to get sacks when Kitna is making a lot of 3 step drops and letting his receivers run in space. Our only chance is if we can lock down receivers 1v1. If we try to win with a zone they'll eat it up.
