The Giants are a better team than we are. I think Burress is going to have a big day against our depleted secondary. Giants d-line is going to dominate our o-line. Collins is going to struggle throwing the ball in the bad weather. They are at home and it should be an easy win for them. I hope I'm wrong.

Homerism is thinking JC is a Pro Bowl Qb or that we'd be undefeated if not for those damn refs! Not that one WC contender should beat another. First time around the Skins beat themselves. Screw it, cancel the season. Any non-homer rational person knows the Pats will win it all anyway.

Smoot and Springs are gonna play right??? we should be ok if that is true. Plus, Saunders will design a gameplan to exploit the rush. I'm just worried about portis, he has looked horrible in the last few weeks...might have to give betts a run since he's fresh.

What's that about homerism?

Maybe it's pessimism that never dies?

I have been picking the Skins most of the year but not this time. Sunday's weather will be terrible and the Skins have been terrible lately playing the Giants in NY. Add that to a back-up QB and patchwork O-Line and it all spells L for the Skins.

skins slip outta ny with a win 13-9

Sadly I have to say Giants.

I do think the Skins will make a great game of it, and I think Collins will play well for the most part. But I see the Giants getting to Collins several times, and us losing a close one due to a sack & fumble. Heyer vs Strahan. That just sucks for us.

Here's hoping we can get the running game going big time to mitigate that nasty pass rush against our statue QB.

You are picking the Giants because of the weather? LOL

The weather is just an excuse. It will be inclement weather for both teams.

While my heart says Redskins...I just can't see them winning this weekend. The Giants defense is playing much better than the Bears, plus they have game film of Collins from last week. I have a bad feeling that he will be exploited this week.

Film of collins? I don't think film of a backup coming in midway through a game counts. Saunders now has 10 days to work with collins.....the Giants have no idea of what the skins are gonna do. That doesnt necessarily mean the skins will win, but it definitely is an advantage.

While 10 days is a long time, it still doesn't take into consideration that our offensive line is down to bare bones, and the Giants have 2 of the better DEs in the league. Plus the Skins run game is non-existent right now. So, they will rely heavily on a guy who's 37 and has 1 start this century under his belt.

10 days or not, Collins showed some weaknesses last Thursday during the Bears game. I expect a good defense like the Giants to pick up on them.

It's only natural that I hope I'm completely wrong...

Trivia question,Joe Gibbs has been shut out twice as the Head coach of the Skins can you name the teams?

[EternalEnigma21]

I PULL for them every week. If you asked me who I want to win I'd of course say the skins....

but If Im to base my opinoin on the recent history of these teams, the injuries, the fact that they have one of the best pass rushes in the league and we have problems with turnovers due to pass rush, and the fact that they have had a week to prepare for todd collins (there's probably a reason he hasnt had a start in ten years) and the fact that our running game has been inept, I'd have to logically say we're probably not going to win.

Not to say I'm not completely pulling for them, and I believe they COULD win every game, including the pats game... but much more often than not, we dont.

The weather slows down Usi and Strahan. Portis' 3.7 ypc = 20 play TD drives and the Giants are at a loss.
21-0 Skins
