[QUOTE=jdlea;359082]Skins 23, Lions 10

I've got the D shutting down the passing attack with 2 key interceptions. One by Landry and *gasp* one by Rogers. Rogers will jump a route and take his back for six. Landry's will come in the back of the end zone and they'll take the touchback preserving the lead before halftime. The 2nd half starts with a 13 - 10 Skins lead and then the running begins with long drives all second half the Skins manage to add 10 more and the D remains stout.[/QUOTE]


Nice! Maybe Madman Mr. Sean Taylor gets a pick too!:)

Re: Redskins vs. Lions predictions
 

24-20 Redskins!!!

I think our D comes up huge in this game and for the most part it's 24-10 and the lions rally at the end but not enough....we rush for 200 and Campbell throws for over 200....and everyone's back on the BANDWAGON!!! including my pessimistic Skins fan in DC as we get ready to head to Green Bay.

ALL HAIL!!!

Re: Redskins vs. Lions predictions
 

probably a loss knowing the redskins...

Re: Redskins vs. Lions predictions
 

Skins 35, kitty kats 9 (3 field goals)

Re: Redskins vs. Lions predictions
 

don't forget that the bears shut down the lions for most of their game and one of their touchdowns came from a kick return when the game was over, and the bears are awful on D right now

Re: Redskins vs. Lions predictions
 

We've got to score to win in this one, 28-24 Redskins.

Re: Redskins vs. Lions predictions
 

Skins 23-21 Lions

Re: Redskins vs. Lions predictions
 

We'll shut down their deep passing game, but won't score many points ourselves. A surprisingly defensive battle to the tune of:

Redskins 17, Lions 10.

You're right. What was I thinking?

if we can pressure kitna skins 24-20. If no pressure as usual lions 38 skins 20

Re: Redskins vs. Lions predictions
 

We shall win this BIG game early in the season at home.

SKINS= 31
lions= 17

Re: Redskins vs. Lions predictions
 

landry and taylor have mulitple big hits and big plays. ---- skins 30 lions 17 --landry seals it with a forced fumble or pic. taylor has two picks and blows up roy williams early.

Has Detroit ever won in D.C.? Defense shows up Sunday and inflicts serious damage to Detroit. Skins 24 kitties 21

Re: Redskins vs. Lions predictions
 

I can't remember Detroit ever beating a Gibbs team. I have a good feeling about this game. That Giants loss brought the team back down to reality and reminded the coaching staff that you play for 60 minutes and not 30. Skins 31, Detroit 17

Re: Redskins vs. Lions predictions
 

The Redskins have won 20 straight games against the Lions, so history will repeat itself.

Re: Redskins vs. Lions predictions
 

its time for the defense to win for us
kitna career interceptions for the skins win
24-10

Re: Redskins vs. Lions predictions
 

I see that some people must have forgotten that this team struggled against the NYG Defense...We won't score to many times. I think we are good for about 24 points and our defense does a far job on the deep pasing game (unless they only throw to whoever is being bloked by Rogers). Possibly one defensive TD!

Skins 24
Lions 21

I don't remember when we won a game by a large margin...get use to it!

Re: Redskins vs. Lions predictions
 

[quote=SUNRA;359191]The Redskins have won 20 straight games against the Lions, so history will repeat itself.[/quote]

I think someone posted earlier that we've won 21 straight (not just, but Lions are 0-21) at home vs. Lions.
They beat us in 99 in Detroit w/Frerotte at qb & desmond howard returned a kick for a td, but we beat em in the playoffs that year at home.

We gave a division game away. We're not good enough to do that and make the playoffs.

Detroit 31-38 --- Redskins 17-24

Re: Redskins vs. Lions predictions
 

A very fun game to watch!

Skins 45
Lions 13

Sellers gets an unusually large number of carries for him (12) and scores 3 TD's (2 receiving). ARE connects twice for two scores on 2 catches. Betts breaks a long one....and doesn't fumble(!) for another score.

Re: Redskins vs. Lions predictions
 

lions never have beat us in Washington

Re: Redskins vs. Lions predictions
 

[quote=CHIEF CHUCKING MY SPEAR;359223]lions never have beat us in Washington[/quote]

So do you think that has anything to do with this game?

This is a MUCH improved Lions team. They only won three games all last season, they've already done that. I could see this Lions team getting that 10 wins they said they would.


But they won't get one of those against us!

Re: Redskins vs. Lions predictions
 

wow. there are alot of predictions of us winning and scoring anwhere from 4 to 5 TD's. which i hope we can but highly un probable. we didnt open up the offense v.s. the giants who had a bad pass defense. so why know v.s. the lions. the keys to us winning are not giving up deep passes and prevent them from scoring on those deep passes. and we need to control the clock with a good mix of run and pass. and take our shots deep after we establish our offense. i predict a 20-17 win for the skins

Re: Redskins vs. Lions predictions
 

B&G 19, Motor City Blue Cats 10.

Re: Redskins vs. Lions predictions
 

why are we going to score so many points? i'm seeing a lot of high 20s and 30s...

20-14 skins win

While I detect a touch of cynicism in your post (ha-ha) I basically f'n agree w/ your point. I just read the WP article revealing how Gibbs has lost 11 games since 2004 in which the Skins led at the beginning of the second half. That is fucking unacceptable, and I say if the trend continues it is time for Gibbs to go.
Prediction: Skins 38, Lions 27 (We better win this game)

yeah,there was a hint of sarcasm to that post,while I do think it will be hard to beat detroit,its going to rely on def,if it turns into a barnburner I cant see our off magically springing to life,especially if Moss and Portis are out

Re: Redskins vs. Lions predictions
 

Skins 20 Lions 17 (OT)

Suisham knocks down a 45 yarder to end the game.

Re: Redskins vs. Lions predictions
 

There's a lot of reason to expect the offense to explode with or without Moss. Coming off the bye week is going to give us a big boost, and I would not be shocked to see Campbell come out looking like a different QB than he did in the first three games.

Might as well put this one on his shoulders, its something we are going to have to do eventually.

Re: Redskins vs. Lions predictions
 

Oh yes, my final prediction:

pain.

Re: Redskins vs. Lions predictions
 

I'm honestly more worried about this game than I was about the Giants game. Right now, the Lions look like a better team than New York, and I don't care that we should've won that game. They blew it in the second half, and I'm going to continue to question their ability to play with a lead until they can actually get up by 2 TD's and not sandbag it for the next 20 minutes!


What I'd love to see this week is for the skins to get out to an early lead and not just maintain it, but put the game out of reach, and do it early


[U]prediction[/U]
Lions 27
Skins 28

(Cooley comes up big with a game winning TD ~~ SKINS WIN)




I just can't see us holding them to less than 3 TD's, and with the possibility of Moss and/or Portis out this week, the skins are going to have trouble, because Detriot will key on ARE all day. As far as the Portis injury goes, I'm not as worried about it as I am about Moss, because I'm confident that Betts can get the job done.

Our defense has gotten better, but I don't trust our secondary as much as I'd like to. Sure, Landry and Taylor are studs, but Carlos Rogers hasn't had a good game yet this year. We just seem to be giving up a lot of big plays in the passing game this year, and I hope Williams gave them all a lecture on tackling... that 2nd half was pathetic...


Well I'll be at the game yellin my head off this weekend too, as are a lot of you guys I'm sure.

hope we get back on track this week. 3-1, staying in 2nd place would be nice.

I really hope this won't happen but I have to admit that this could be possible! a déja vue all over again. I' m quite upset about this "gibbs" conservative football when we're leading. Just hope we'll win anyway.

Re: Redskins vs. Lions predictions
 

We have had two weeks to prepare a defensive strategy for the Lions at home. I'm very confident that G.Williams put together something tastey for Kitna and company. Our defense will dominate the line of scrimage and make sacks and picks.

Due to our lack our offensive fire power we will not be able to pull away and this game comes down to the 4th Q (like always). Running attack comes back this week and Campbell does just enough......I'm even looking ahead next week in Green Bay where we pick up another W to go 4-1.

SKINS 24
LIONS 21

Re: Redskins vs. Lions predictions
 

Hard to get sacks when Kitna is making a lot of 3 step drops and letting his receivers run in space. Our only chance is if we can lock down receivers 1v1. If we try to win with a zone they'll eat it up.
