If your Redskins are in it by halftime and manage to cover the spread. You guys will be the first team to do this and should consider this a moral victory.

Welcome to the board, chris66. You can change your avatar to match the Pats if you like - and we look forward to your comments this week.

Thanks man I appreciate that. It should be a good game this Sunday. unfortunately your offense needs to figure out how to get first downs or your D will be wiped out by halftime.

I see a lot of posters knocking Miami on this board, but they were the only team so far to limit the pats to 51 offensive possessions. Usually they are in the high 60's

I have the utmost respect for Tom Brady and this offense, but I dont think people understand how good this defense is. This is the same coach who took Randy Moss away every time we have played him, remember he shut Randy down with Garnell Wilds covering him, thats right. I really think this is the only secondary in the league that can match up with you guys, not saying we will shut you down, but we definately match up, I hope Welker is ready to get hit in the mouth. Its always cool to meet a fan from another team thats not a jackass.

First of all, welcome... and change your avatar.

Second of all, that arrogance suits you very well. You're exactly what I'd expect a Pats fan to act like.

Sorry Chris, we're past moral victories here in D.C. I remember when we played Indy a couple of seasons ago. It was the same thing. We had them at the half and let them off the hook.

Like I said, if nothing else happens, the Pats will get hit this week. Put that in your over/under.

No such thing as moral victories in the NFL.

I hope all the home fans are thinking like you so tear will be shed after the game. You're gonna lose the game bro. Back down to earth for the PATS and the evil empire!!!!

Tremendous post & living up to your name 12th, truly the post of the 12th man. Good points indeed.

I feel myself gradually ascending or descending (not sure which is accurate) into homerism w/each visit to the warpath this week. Maybe it's because there is an unusual lack of homerism this week.

I really think 12th has good points, we are going to give Brady fits. He'll hit some stuff, but if we can stuff the run, GW will mix up coverages & force Brady to audible like he's never had to. I expect this to be a mean game.

I'm concerned about our O, like everyone else is, but it occurred to me that maybe the AZ game was our Oakland game of 05. After that mess we came back & had a power running game the rest of the year & went on a roll. Maybe from here out our Offense gets a wake up call & we become a pass first team. It's obvious that's what these O linemen can do.

Like 12th said, look for a real game plan from AS. Gibbs has already admitted this week that the plan was too conservative on sunday, so that's a sign that he may be willing to step aside some from the planning & let Al take it on his own more. I thought that happened after the Giants game as we came out in Detroit passing to set up the run. Look for that on sunday.

I don't see any logical explanation for why/how we'll beat New England. Sure it's possible. But if you're going to call it likely, you're not subscribing to the common sense newsletter, that's for sure.

Can I use that as my next sig?

Common sense? Whoa, wait a minute? How does logic fit into this? I really hate to sound cliche, but the game is won between the lines.

If we're going off stats, that's one thing. But the Skins are 4-2, they are a professional football team. They do boast one of the best defenses in football. And it's quite possible, they could have a chip on their shoulder this week. As far as I'm concerned that's as logical as any argument anyone could possilby post.

Pfftt... common sense. I like living in the delusional world I've created for myself this week. The colors are so pretty here.

ArcticRed · 10-24-2007, 02:06 AM

I am with 12th. This game has all the feelins of a upset. I have my own ideas what needs to happen for us to win, which I have already stated. I feel that besides those basics there are some intangibles that are poping up. Just about every interview or commentary in the media talks about the Pat/Indy game thats coming up in a couple weeks. The Pat players are getting bombarded with questions of that game. Over confidence is running rampant.

Hail to the 12th! Hail to Homerism!! Hail to the Redskins!!!

EARTHQUAKE2689 · 10-23-2007, 11:21 AM

Do we really have a 5 game win streak over the Pats like I heard last night?
