Washington Redskins vs Detroit Lions Pregame Thread

[budw38]

Wishful thinking here ..... Griffin runs for 100 yds , throws 3 tds and Reed also throwing a TD ..... we beat the cowardly Lions 37 - 33 .

With a change in attitude, we will see a team so different that we will wonder who was on the field in Green Bay.

Skins 38
Loins 34

This is what we need to happen to RGIII.

If you want to talk about benching somebody, you should start with London Fletcher. Have you heard his name called in the past two games? He had 2 tackles (1 solo) this past game with a RB that have over 100 yards rushing. He can't cover in space, and now he can't even stop a RB from running.


Back to back RBs have posted 100 yard rushing games against us, one coming from a team that hadn't posted a 100 yard rusher in over 45 games.

I'll never make a prediction against the Skins.

Skins:
Lions:

I'm afraid we're in for a long season, but on a positive note at least we'll be able to clean house with the coaching staff and get some high $$$ players gone that aren't producing.

Hall - $ 9M, Carriker - $ 6M, Morgan is OK, but not at $ 10M/yr., Josh Wilson - $ 5.3M, Moss - $ 6M.
and I'd seriously consider trade offers for Trent Williams ($11M) who I'm tired of seeing either reaching out for a missed blitzer or getting pushed into RG3's face.
Orakpo - $5M+ can be traded as well, for every QB pressure or sack he has, there's 3-4 plays where he's flying too far upfield and backs are cutting under him for big gains. He'd be much better is a traditional 4-3 where he can just get after the QB with his hand in the dirt.

Hall now makes 2.25 mil, Carriker, Wilson, and Moss took pay cuts, and Morgan is between 5-6 mil for this year and a UFA at the end of the year (with some dead money for next year). Orakpo is a FA at the end of the year, so to trade him, it has to be now or we need to franchise him then try to trade him next year.

And you honestly want to get rid of our best O-lineman that we have with the existing concerns that we already have with the O-line. And not having a legit LT to step up behind him. Really?

I thought some of the numbers might be off, should've checked the Cap Sheet date. Point is, if this season doesn't take a quick upswing...it's time for major changes.

TW is greatly overrated.

Boom goes the dynamite. Get Barnett ready cause London bridge has fallen down.
