Well, I agree to an extent. BUT (which really means you should ignore my agreement)

Our team was considerably worse on offense, yet Kyle was able to draw up schemes which took advantage and put us in a position to win, and did it with a qb who was fairly one dimensional, and this OLine. We have apparently added a qb that has more than one dimension in a game, and kept our running game solid. So, we conceivably should do as well or better on offense.

Our defense was able to hold the Giants in check, and again, they have not really done much to upgrade, they simply are playing at a high level. It is reasonable to look at last year, and say that we seem to know how to scheme the defense to stop them, so it comes down to execution.

Ultimately, this is a new year, but I would say that knowing we beat them 2 times last year at the least keeps our team from thinking they are invincible (like when they beat us several years in a row), and with the new found belief that Griffin can bring us back or put us in a position to win any game, our team will be able to play with a full cup of confidence. That's what last year's games do.

(and besides Grossman can tell Griffin all week the secrets to beating them)

I think we should make Cousins inactive and have Grossman on hand as the backup. He seems to have the Giants' number. I'm being completely serious.

Since weve won games Ive predicted us to lose and lost when Id thought we win Im gonna stick with the trend and say we lose.
Giants probably underestimated us last yr with Grossman{or as I heard Mortensen call him,RG3 and out}
Giants are playing at high level and are at home.They will not take us lightly this game
Giants 48

Kinda like your reality check from last week when you predicted 31-17 Vikings? How laughable was that?

Well if I pick the Skins to win, they will lose, so laugh away, I am...
Griff was sensational against the Vikes!!!

Defense continues to improve and we win the shootout, 38-30.

I think most are just hoping and stretching the matter. It'd be a big upset IMO if we won in NY

Na. I think after last week they are dead serious with their posts and predictions for a Skins win. With that said, I am hoping with the rest of em'

Unfortunately, Giants will most likely shred our D... And I would not put it past their D to take a cheap shot or two at Griff.

Not so fast. The Redskins have been playing against some top notch offenses and some very good quarterbacks every game since week 1. There has to come a time this season when the defense puts together a complete game and this could be the game. I think the Redskins will build off of what they accomplished defensively against Minnesota last week. There's no where to go for the defense but up.

Gotta love the positive spin of being dead last in Pass Defense against the Super Bowl champs....no way we win this game....not yet guys...give RG3 10 games under his belt, and a better secondary, then we can play with the big boys.
I hope I am wrong...but this has 35-21 giants written all over it.

The Giants are the Super Bowl champs only because they faced a last place defensive team in the SB last year. The Redskins are familiar with Eli manning. The best way to shut down the NYG offense is to blanket their receivers and take away Manning's passing lanes. If the corners can hang with Nicks and Cruz for 6 or seven seconds the defensive line and linebackers will have a huge sack party.

How can a fan say NO WAY we can win a game against someone in our own division.
