[quote=TheGuyFromOverThere;1153523]I predict to be there 😁[/quote]

I'll be there too! Let's cheer loud enough to make this one feels like a home game for our Skins !!!

I'll admit I'm not very confident about this one. It's winnable, but defenitely not an easy one.

Reasons to believe:

-They barely beat the Jets (I watched the game, the Jets shot themselves in the foot with missed fieldgoals and extra points), only other wins came against the Dolphins and the Browns AT HOME ! I know technically this is a "home" game for them, but we all know this is a road game for both teams. I'll add I have NEVER meet a Bengals fan in France, while I know a Skins fan or too (my signature is not accurate at all ^^).

-They got blasted by the Cowboys, the same team we should have beaten, baring KC's brain fart at the end of the game.

-Average defense (15th ovr, 12th pass) weak against the run (24th)

Reasons to be scared:

-AJ Green.

-Injuries. A lot on our side. Only a few on their side.

To TheGuyFromOverThere, FrenchSkin, and any other of our European brother and sister Skins Fans who are going to the London game:

I applaud you for taking advantage of the opportunity to see our team in person! I'm very happy for you and I hope the Skins win this one for you. You deserve it. Have a great time!

Thanks, this will be my very first live NFL game, I'm so pupped! HTTR, a win on Sunday would be a beautiful gift! My fiancee doesn't know a thing about football, but I already taught her the Skins fight song, WE ARE READY :-)

Thanks a lot! It'll be my second game in London (Chargers and Saints in 2008) but my first Skins game. Also bringing the fiancee who already knows a tad ;)

Appears like the Bengals O line has been a problem for them so far this year. Now, their best lineman LT Whitworth (3rd best tackle per PFF) is in concussion protocol from last weeks game and may (should) miss the London game. They are talking about moving journeyman Eric Winston from RT to LT with reserve tackle Jake Fisher (who has struggled) taking over at RT. Winston replaced RT Ogbuehi 2 weeks ago as the starting RT bc apparently Ogbuehi is really bad.

I really hope we exploit this weakness like we did with the Eagles and Lane. It sounds like like they will be shuffling guys around.

yessssssssss! get 'em!

Re: Redskins - Bengals across the pond (prediction thread)
 

It all depends on our pass rush in my opinion. We get to Dalton, we take out there passing game. With no Norman, I am not sure we can depend on our dbs alone.

Good point. The Browns got to Dalton 3 times last week, we should be able to bring it to him!

Hope he's active Sunday.

Just finished watching Browns @ Bengals. If it hasn't been for two big plays on offense (a Hail Mary at the end of the first half and a well designed run) and easy INTs, that was a pretty close game. They had issues stopping Logan, the 5th Browns' QB this season, after Kessler got hurt...

If we find ways to take AJ Green out (Norman being active, pressure etc...), this really is a winnable game.
