NE is just a better football team. They have better players, and they are better coached. However, if we get a few turnovers and don't turn it over we have a chance. A small chance.

Homerism or not, New England has seven wins this season. Five of which were against the bottom five total defenses in the league. If they think Washington will be a pushover, they're sadly mistaken.

They scored 49 against Miami and could have scored more. . We scored 13. What does that say about us?

It says nothing, it's fuzzy logic that really doesn't mean anything.

And we actually scored 16.

If anything costs Washington the game, it will be the inability of the offense to score points, but it certainly won't be because of the defense. The only prediction I'll make this week is the Pats will have their lowest scoring output of the season.

IF you look at it this way the Pats schedule of teams they beat are 17-28 (6-1 have come from the Cowboys) So maybe it not the Pats being so dominant its just they havent played anyone.

I am saying it if the Cowboys had a pass defense at all they would have beaten the Pats.

The Pats are like LSU before they played Florida and Kentucky and Auburn. The Redskins defense will slow them down.

You could say that we haven't exactly played anyone either. And they beat Dallas at Dallas pretty easily. Do you think we could go to Dallas and hang 48 on them? No way in hell.

But do you see Dallas or New England hanging 48 on us.

New England is averaging 40 points per game. If we can knock off that average by 9 points, our defense will have done its job. I'll post this in the official prediction thread, but I see this game resulting in a 34-24 win for the Pats.

Can we let Jason Campbell call his own plays this week? It can't be worse than what we have seen so far. Maybe he finds a rhythm. At the very least we would not have any delay of game penalties while we decide plays by committee.

Dallas no. But NE? I don't know. If the offense keeps going three and out then yes, I could see them dropping a lot points on us.

One thing about NE is they don't play to loose if they have a lead. They try and score instead of milking the clock.

That's what I've been saying since last week.
I really feel like our defense will surprise them and rough them up a bit more than they might expect, especially if they're peeking past us (I say peeking because I think they're too good to be caught completely looking past anyone) to next week.
However, I'm just worried about what their defense will do to our banged up O-line.

I think it could be interesting and I refuse to completely count us out. At the same time, I think that it is entirely possible to prove yourself in a losing effort, so I hope we really show the world something if we happen to lose.

Wrong answer the final was 16-13 SKINS, and all that says is we WON the game in OT, thats ALL that says about us.

We CAN win another close one, hope the gaytriots are looking right past us to the colts, they will be in for a suprise.

You forgot the 6th reason, It's a Gibbs coached team , not Wade Phillips, Norv, etc. We will not get blown off the field like the rest, we will give more than they can handle.

Huh??? So GW has nothing to do with it? Where would we be w/out GW's defense this year?

Who coaches the team Gibbs or Williams? Who hired Williams? I know the offense isn't up to par yet, but we do have an offense, we are not only a defense team.
