Why do you think so? I like to hear your explaination for this score. The Redskins' D can handle the Falcons weapon.

Sadly, Zorn's waffling on ARE returning punts dooms MM's chance. Zorn doesn't really seem to have it in him to put a new face in. Pretty hard and fast on the roster. I think, barring Zorn's ouster, the only way MM hits the field is A: playoff elimination; B: injuries. very discouraging.

Yeah, he's another new player I really like.

I'd expect the Redskins to win 17-10. I am sure the Redskins' defense will stop Michael Turner, so the Skins probably only allow one "lucky touchdown" from Tony Gonzalez and a FG before halftime. Fred Davis and Clinton Portis will score a TD. That's my expectation.

When life gives you lemons, squeeze those bitches. I picked up the Falcons D in my fantasy league and intend to play them. Did the same with the Chargers the last 2 weeks as they played the Raiders and Chiefs. Got me big points. You have to treat the Skins the same way for the rest of the season. There is no switch to flip. They will be abysmal on Offense the rest of the way. Reality is a bitch sometimes.

I hate hate hate this cliche. Atlanta is a better team and will probably win because of that. If Atlanta wants a "revenge" then they need to go back in time and beat the Cowboys and Saints. Otherwise is not revenge, they are just desperate because they lost the last two games and as a better team they will take advantage of the situation that they are playing against a lesser team, plain and simple.

I see Roddy White handing D'Angelo Hall his jock more than once in this game.

I see us falling behind early by double digits, then failing to catch the Georgian's. A familiar script, indeed.

Atlanta is the better team. They need to win this game after losing two in a row. They're at home where they usually play well. All signs point to an Atlanta victory.

On the other hand, if the Redskins can't find the motivation to fight for a win in this game I'll be surprised and sorely disappointed.

So, I'm thinking it might be a close, hard-fought game. I'll say Atlanta 20, Redskins 17 in a heartbreaker.

Skins 10-34 Falcons

I expect the worst, but hope for the best.

I expect a loss, but hope for a win. Who doesn't?

This is one of those games that until the end of the year you can't categorize it as an 'upset' if we win. Atlanta is an alright team, but not proven iMO. They may be on a slide to mediocrity after their suprising success last year. I think they're in the middle of the pack of the nfl, which is better than us.

Still, I wouldn't be surprised if we beat them. Ryan is good but has thrown a lot of picks lately. Their run game is good, but Blache's D can stuff them. Their D has a good pass rush but not much beyond avg. elsewhere.

the smart choice is still ATl, but it should be competitive. I'm going w/Atl 24 Skins 16.
