Can we beat the Jets?

[BDBohnzie]

The last defense Kellen Clemens faced as a starter was Baltimore, for which he had the Jets in position to win until a last second INT deep in Ravens' territory. Skins defense is now without one of it's starters in the secondary, and injuries among the LBs. Belicheck showed the rest of the NFL what the Lions, Cardinals and Packers couldn't do...beat G-Dub's deep zone.

As much confidence as I have in the Skins to win, this is one of those games that can bite right square in the ass if the team isn't careful. G-Dub is going to have to rattle Clemens' cage a bit, while focusing on short and intermediate passing. I think Taylor and Landry can play centerfield all day, with Coles nursing a calf injury. Thomas Jones is having a decent year on the ground, but hasn't found paydirt yet.

The Skins offense is going to have to overcome a shaky line and blow open holes for Portis and Betts to run through. Sellers needs the ball more, and Campbell is going to have to find Moss and ARE deep a few times.

I'm very fearful of this game. This is a make or break game for the Skins, even though a loss puts them at 4-4, it's a long uphill battle the rest of the way. Momentum from this game will have to carry them through Philly, Dallas, Tampa and into Buffalo.

No predictions as of yet, but I have a bad feeling this game is going to be ugly.

I think it is going to be ugly too, but for the Jets. The young and inexperienced QB is on a date with pain and misery this Sunday. Did he pick the wrong time to play an angry Redskins D or what?

I think the defense will come out firing on all cylinders and dominate this game after that embarrassment up in NE.

It will also be nice to watch the game with Moss and Coles playing for two teams as both receivers played for both teams at some point. I really think that Coles is very underrated player. I remember the game when he played for the Skins against Dallas and had a dislocated finger but kept playing and catching. Whatever happened to players like that, ones who actually want to play?

I Agree BigD;

I think one of Campbell's strengths is that he comes back from adversity. We've seen it after he's thrown interceptions, and now we will see what he can do after a disheartening loss.

I wouldn't want to have ST or London looking to avenge personal demons next week if I was on the other side of the line.
