Redskins vs. Dolphins predictions

[davy]

Skins 14-13 Fish

[GTripp0012]

The reason picking games is so hard is that even if you make the smart logical selection (i.e. the best team), you still have a good chance of being wrong.

Over the course of the season, if I say the Skins are going to go 9-7, I may miss some games here and there (they might beat GB and lose to the Cards for all I know), but at least things have a chance to even out for me, and allow my prediction to be accurate anyway. In a single game, if one team fumbles one too many times, or drops one too many interceptions, they could lose a very winnable game. Now, later that season, a team could pick up a win in similar style, a dropped INT by the opponent, or by recoving a ball the QB was stripped of.

But thats why it's pointless to debate the matchups, IMO. Theres been some great points on both sides of things that could determine the outcome of this game, but even the most fundamental of knowledges comes down to a wild guess.

I'll hold on to my Skins pick in this one, but I'd never get on anyone for taking the Dolphins. Remember, you can always defend your pick by saying "I think they will get lucky!" Then no one can argue with you

41-9 Washington, maybe 12 but the Dolphins will not score one touchdown. All field goals, all day. The media and press will say that it was a fluke and that Washington took advantage of a Dolphins team that isn't that good, they have a new coach blah blah blah.

Did anyone hear anything recently regarding Portis' knee? I've got a buddy asking whether or not to start him in fantasy this week...

Honestly, unless he's in JUST for the red zone, I wouldn't start him. His workload is going to be cut waaaaay down.

A Mont in the backfield all night. QB's and RB's watch out!!

I would really like to state my opinion, but there are just so many experts on here...there just isn't enough room for people with contrary opinions. Am I too sensitive or am I actually not in a blog where every Redskin Fan can express his opinion without ridicule or scorn. You know you guys like Smoot are soo good...you should make a living at it. I'll try to find a blog where maybe my opinion won't be so distorted or twisted then closed before I have a chance to defend myself. Sorry I wasn't a memeber of the Gibbs coaching staff like I am sure you are for being so in the know.

I think that he/she is upset because they did not get a chance to respond to this....

Funny that you're accusing people of being amateur psychologists, yet just before that you proceeded to give your amateur diagnosis of how CP ticks and that he's gone after this year... and that Champ would have stayed for the money. So I guess it's worth asking where did you get your PhD from?

Trust me, he wasn't coming back for the money. There are rumors that he needed to get out of town for personal reasons. Draw your own conclusions.

Perhaps, but it's not like that thread was closed immediately after that post. And the fact that it was closed had nothing to do with him. Plus, he's the one that called the rest of us "amateur psychologists" He's the one that said we should trade Brunell to the Falcons for Antwaan Lake (who plays for the Saints). And so on.

Everyone knows that rookies here are "camp scrubs" If he prefers we can change it to something along the lines of "camp baby"

We're all adults here. And everyone's opinion here is valued so long as there's strong thought behind it. Furthermore, go to some other sites if you want to know what true lack of respect is. Sure we tease and taunt here, but we keep it civil. And when it crosses the line it's dealt with accordingly. But don't confuse disagreement with lack of respect.

And yeah I know it's sort of out of line to say all this in public. We should just PM him (the front office should I mean). But I suspect it would fall on deaf ears. And quite frankly, with the season starting we'd rather not waste our time holding people's hands and babysitting. On behalf of the mods, I'll just say that we're tired of it. It's about the quality of the members on this site, not the quantity. Plus, it's good for everyone else to hear this, because I'm sure there are other 44Dives lurking in the horizon.

I agree that he had ample amount of time to respond in that thread. After looking at his history that is what I came up with as my conclusion. I agree with everything that you are saying, I have been a member here for 3 years going on 4 and I agree that the quality of the members have dropped. But that will happen as the quantity goes up you get the bad with the good. I didn't mean to step on anyones toes when I posted that. I wasn't sticking up for him and I thought that would have been known when I put the word "she" in bold and larger font...

I agree that their are a lot of members that post random crap such as, "Brunell sucks" and that's it. They don't bother to put any thought or a valid explanation with "Brunell sucks." And not only are the mods fed up with such crap, I am sure that their are a fair amount of members that have been here as long as me or even longer that are just as much fed up with it as the mods are. And I am willing to bet that their are a few newer members that feel the same way...

Technically this isn't a "blog," it's a forum. I can't believe no one pointed that out yet.

Personally, I am offended that anyone would claim that the valued members of this forum are anything BUT gentlemen. All one has to do is browse the SHFT and it's obvious that this is a classy, high-brow group.

That was the first thing that came to my mind but it's not even worth it at this point.
