12th's 5 Reasons Why The Skins Beat N.E.

[saden1]

Don't score, play dead.
Sean Taylor, I like him.
LaRon Landy, I like him too.
Play with guts, get glory.

Expect the worst, hope for the best.

I'm not refuting any of that, but you can't deny what I've posted either. homerism or not.

My main concern is Gibbs. I'm sorry but the more I watch the more I kind of wish he would retire. I've had enough. Go upstairs and be team president. We can't go up to NE with some bullshit half ass ball control game plan on offense. We have got to start getting the ball to our wr's. We have got to get Santana more involved. We have got to try and get Lloyd the ball. These are suppose to be our big play guys and we have got to start getting these guys the ball downfield. If they drop it then so be it. At least try.

i like the way you think 12th. remember, on any given sunday....

I have to be honest and say I really don't like our chances. It's going to take our best effort and the Pats to have an off day. I just hope we can keep it respectable.

Respectable?

Gibbs takes over this weeks play calling (behind the scenes). Running game breaks out this week against the PATS. Some playaction bombs of our own are in store as well. We get back to smashmouth football and control the clock very well in this road affair. Run left, right, toss, pitch, sellers, portis, betts, and keep pounding and no turnovers! Kicking game big in this and we have a great punter.

Defense needs to continue with a 4 man rush and Carter and company have a much better game. Our LB's need to play run when they are in tight and drop into aggressive zones when they spread us out. Sean Taylor plays deep all day to make sure Moss doesn't have that easy score. Springs and Rogers tight and looking to make plays. NO BLITZES EARLY! Brady will not be beaten by our blitz we will. Continue what they have been doing and we score another td on Defense here. We are by far the best defense they have faced and will beat them on Sunday.

HAIL!!!!!!

I'll agree with one, we probably have the best D they have faced. But it could be they have made teams D's that bad by the ass whipping they have been handing out.

I dont know what kind of scheme we should or will use. Its got its faults either way. Run, run, run, ball control..eat the clock score few points. Attack the D with passing and risk 3 and outs and the D is on the field more. Its a toss up. We have to try and limit the pats touches offensively as best we can. They are a team that can sustain long scoring drives by throwing the ball. Now w/ Maroney back, they will try and run a little more to get our safeties up. This is not the Olines we have faced, their Oline is VERY GOOD. Hardly anyone has put consistant pressure on Brady, either with the Blitz or not. I think if we can get some hits on the recievers early, BIG HITS we may be able get them a little hesitant and looking for defenders before catching the ball. Brady is so calm under pressure I just dont know if its possible to rattle him with blitzing.

i hope we keep it close. if we get a couple of turnovers on their side of the 50 we need to convert those into TD's. we definately need to be more aggressive with the down field passing. even if its just to keep the safeties honest.

Are you sure you're a Skins fan?

How many more wins until you learn your lesson?

I want to be a homer, I really do, but I just think this Patriots team is not the best team in the league this year, but maybe one of the best teams of all time in ANY YEAR. The 2007 Patriots are on the verge of becoming one of those historic teams that we will all be talking about in the future like the '85 Bears. Just a totally dominating team, that crushes everyone by 2 TDs or more everyweek. We all now see how great Brady is with real WRs. They are an All-star team playing wantabees. I know this is a downer of a post, but it is hard not to believe. Maybe things will change when the weather gets bad and their running game (which is the only weakness I see) has to perform and it can't, but time will tell.

They have a great offense but they do not have a great defense. People have been scoring points against them.

Don't look now Mr.Wizard, but they are ranked slightly HIGHER than Washington in total defense.

Patriots are #4 in overall defense, Redskins #5
Patriots are #4 vs the pass, Redskins #8
Patriots are #9 vs the run, Redskins #5.

The only way to beat the Patriots is to generate a ton of turnovers.

The other way to beat them is with a bat while they are sleeping.

You dont think playing the #1 passing offense in Detroit and completely shutting them down will help, Oh wait... we did that twice after we had to face Green Bay who had the top ranked passing offense, and guess what? we shut them down again

I don't care about yardage. The only stat that matters is scoring defense. I know we have a better scoring defense than the Pats.

I believe they are ranked 3 and we are 4

[jbcjr14]

I think we will hang in early and like 12th said...the second half is another story. I don't think we get blown off the field because our D is that good to keep it within a couple scores.
