Skins @ Lions pregame thread

[FrenchSkin]

0) (First, I really am sorry if I'm stepping on anyone's toes by starting this thread, if I am, please delete it and start a more legit one...)

1) ... But I'm really excited about this one: I say the Lions can very well be the first team we destroy this year!

I'm watching the Rams @ Lions game, and... I mean just look at the stats:

Lions rank 18th OvrOff; 14th PassOff; and 26th RushOff (that last one is great for us!) and 25th OvrDef; 23rd PassDef; and 21st RushDef ... Our offense can end up having fun against these guys!

2) Against the Rams: they ran for only 83 yards against the 23rd ranked RushDef ! ... And allowed 311 passing yards to the 28th ranked passing offense !

3) Finally, they lead the NFL in penalty yards (48 flags for 450 yards), last week, at home, they got several false starts.

4) We are on a pretty darn good hot streak, if Barry keeps bringing pressure, their O-line isn't great, Stafford is a very good QB but we have the weapons to neutralize him. That can be an easy one! Let's earn respect this week! HTTR !

Great post. Totally agree. We should be able to match up well against them. It would be just awesome to be up by 21 points or so in the fourth, and not have to sweat it out.
There are only two words that can stand in our way this week......TRAP GAME!....lol
Skins-33
Lions-12

On paper (how many times have we said this?) we should absolutely crush them. Their few strengths match up well against ours. Somehow they are 3-3, but if there's a game we should dominate, it's this one.

Going to go crazy here:

Skins - Forty Burger.
Lions - 14.

A couple of negative nancy moments:

Detroit somehow always finds a way to get under the Skins skin. They won't be an easy win by any stretch.

Breeland is going to have his make or break game. I have to believe the other NFL teams have watched this year and know he isn't the same corner as last year. With Norman playing lights out, Stafford is going to go mercilessly at Breeland. IF he steps up, it will be a huge statement game. If he continues to struggle, it will be a looonng afternoon.

This game should be a eye opener to the rest of the league about our offense. If we don't put up over 35, it will be because Gruden took his foot off the gas and lacks aggressiveness in point accumulation. Something I have disliked about him for the past 2 years.

When was the last time the Redskins won 5 in a row? Does anyone know without google?

It's a rough one this week, not because we can't win it, but more so because Detroit is just enough of an enigma to the Skins that we probably won't win.

No googling. I know the two years we went to the playoffs with Gibbs that we won five in a row - I believe- so i will say the second playoff year under Gibbs 2.0

Pretty sure RG3 rookie year we won 5 in a row. How many in a row did we win last year?

I was going to throw that in the mix too. You could be right. I definitely remember saying "five in a row or we don't go" for Gibbs.
Edit: if it was last year than me and C-Red have very short memories. Lol

yep you are right, it was 2012, before that was 2005. I forgot about the end of season streak with RG3, good call. It was 4 last year, and the 2nd playoff run in JG2.

Yes. First playoff run under gibbs 2.0.
2012 they finished 6-0. 6-1/2 if you count the first half against Seattle. Man they were rolling. Than the injury.

Good point. That is why pressure will be so damn important! Their O-line really isn't that great, they rank 25th in sacks allowed, against the Rams Stafford spent some time escaping the pocket... We have to be able to do that to him too.

I trust Bree to have a good game but Stafford is a good QB and they do have decent receivers. Norman was only targeted once last week so I imagine Bree will be tested but hopefully we can roll some help towards his side. Thats the luxury of having a Norman, we can dictate to the opponents offense to a degree.

5 in a row - the year ST unfortunately passed away and Todd Collins carried us into the playoffs is my best guess.

Lions seem to be about as banged up as we are.

Lol guys I can't believe 2012 was forgotten so quickly. We won 7 in a row to finish the season after a 3-6 start...

Time must move slower for me

I think the pain of the ending and the 3-13 season that followed created Skins Amnesia.

BUT to take the question one step further, when was the last time we had a 5 game win streak not at the end of the season (in other words, not one where the team had the very tangible win and in progression that marked both the 2012 and 2005 streaks)

and for the bonus round:

What is the longest win streak, including playoff games the Redskins have had since 1991?

Shottenhiemer from 0-5 to 5-5 ? Stsrted with the Arringtin pick 6? I think thats the one. The bonus round i cant think of without googling but I'd want to say the year of 99.
