Redskins vs. Dolphins predictions

We have good reason to expect our D to bounce back strong. The additions of Fletcher and Landry fill gaping holes from last year, and guys that were banged up along the defensive line are now healthy and our two rookie DTs from last year have a year under their belts.

If you're underestimating the Skins D you'll be very sorry come Sunday.

I don't expect our defense to come back strong, per say. However, its safe to say that if the Dolphins "offense" is planning on coming into our house and just having their way with us, they really have another thing coming.

Last year, teams could throw anywhere on the field against us and have great success. This year you have to gameplan the Skins very differently. If teams want to have success against us, they will have to attack the middle of the field with the running game, and use their running back well in the passing game. Miami has the personel to do this, but if it takes them a while to get going offensively, they may be chasing 14 very quickly.

The Dolphins D, which has been so good for so long, I think is going to struggle mightily against the pass this year. Campbell jumps right out and throws two first half TDs, and then the Skins D bends as the Dolphins play catch up (with some success), but it never really materalizes.

20-16 Redskins.

I see issues for the Phins. Their O-line wasn't great last year (allowing 41 sacks), and they didn't make any measurable changes to their personnel. Despite the fact that the O-line coach has the coolest name in the NFL (Hudson Houck), you can't polish a turd.
I also think Cam Cameron is going to seem a lot less smart when he downgrades from Rivers, Tomlinson, and Gates to Green, Brown, and Martin.
The defense made a major acquisition in Joey Porter, but most observers agree that they overpaid for a declining talent. The fact that Porter has been recovering from a knee surgery when the Dolphins physical didn't detect a bad knee should be something of a red flag.
Miami may turn out to be a good team. I expect we'll know around week 6, but they're going to get punched in the mouth on Sunday.

Washington 27
Miami 10

Even if the Skins defense is as bad as you say it is. Can you honestly tell me that your offense would put up thirty plus points on them even in LAST year's shape?!

I love this! This banter beats any political thread any day of the week!

16-14 redskins win a close, tough battle. One of miami's TD's will come from yet another TD given to the defense from our offense, but, but it is the offense that plays some crazy ball control in the 4th Q to get two nice Suisham FG's to cap off nice drives.

Campbell 15-28, 230 yards 1 TD 1 INT
CP - 20 carries 75 yards
LB - 10 carries for 40 yards

Laron gets a pick, K-Goldston gets a sack, London gets 12 solo tackles, Rocky gets a pick

now that is an interesting game

Miami Gave up 21 of those sacks in the first 3 weeks last year behind Dante DR.Pepper, he isnt here anymore. they did much better not having to block for three minutes while Dr Pepper tried to find his targets.

Skins: 20
Phins: 7

I feel like the Redskins D is gonna come out with a huge chip on their shoulders. The passing and running game are gonna be shut down. The offense looked fluid in the game against J- ville. Granted, it was the preseason, but I just felt like it was a sign of things to come. I think the Dolphins D is going to have a hard time stopping the play action, and S. Moss is gonna burn up the secondary.

24- 3 Redskins

Whats going on Skin Fans? Not to worry... I come in peace...

I cant say that I agree with your score. Not that I am guarenteeing a win, but I am guarenteeing that it will be a low scoring game. Both of our offenses are going to struggle against each others defenses. I'm predicting a low scoring 10-13 game.

Who gets the 13? Well the Fin fan in me is going to have to take the Fins...

I am not optimistic about this guys. I think the offense will need this game and a few weeks of practice to get in sync. I think this is a week one upset

Redskins 13
Dolphins16

I will not be optimistic until the skins can give me a reason to be. The defense i have faith in, but the offense has shown me nothing. I am tired of setting myself up to fail with great offseason expectations

I gotta tellya, Mike, this team and last year's are almost like apples and oranges, in my opinion.

If we don't come out and hit these guys in the mouth, then between the eyes for four straight quarters, I have a feeling morale could plummet prematurely.

The Skins should man handle this Dolphins team. No doubt in my mind.

So you think you are going to man handle us in all areas of the game? I believe you are going to pound our offense... but you think your offense is going to man handle our defense??? Not happening...
