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.

The Patriots are averaging 40 points per game. The Redskins are averging 20 points per game against much worse defenses than that of the Patriots. New England has a top 5 defense and they are playing at home. Barring Brady, Moss and Welker catching the 24 hour clap, or, the stadium falling down, I'd say 34-13 Patriots is more accurate.

You're wrong about the "much worse" statement.

Team - rank
Pats - 4th
Giants - 8th
Cardinals - 9th
Eagles - 11th
Packers - 15th

The Lions and Dolphins are the only bad Ds we've played and we won both games. The Dolphins were fully healthy then too, they've played without Zach Thomas for a few games since.

just because the pats whipped your ass doesn't automatically give them a win. Granted, I do believe the pats will win, but stop sounding like because they beat you like a rented mule makes them automatic super bowl winners

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.
