Re: Skins vs. Vikes Pregame Thread
 

Redskins CB Bashaud Breeland hurt his knee in Friday's practice and is questionable for Week 9 against the Vikings.

He'll go for an MRI. Breeland is coming off his best game of his rookie season, when he held Dez Bryant and Terrance Williams to four catches for 52 scoreless yards on eight targets. If Breeland is forced to miss Week 9, Tracy Porter and E.J. Biggers would be the Nos. 2 and 3 corners behind David Amerson.

UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

This is big, Im really hoping this is nothing. The fact they want an MRI sux. damn

Re: Skins vs. Vikes Pregame Thread
 

[quote=Ruhskins;1092328]I think no team has had any respect/concern for our passing game and/or our offensive line, so they just stack the line and dare McCoy/Cousins to throw. Also, no RG3 has affected Morris in a big way.[/quote]

That and the perimeter blocking is terrible outside Garcon. Hard for any ballcarrier to get those extra yards when defenders are flying in from all directions.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!

Re: Skins vs. Vikes Pregame Thread
 

Sounds like Breeland is Ok and will be able to play Sunday. Whew.

Re: Skins vs. Vikes Pregame Thread
 

I think we'll win. While Minny is decent on defense, their offense is abysmal and it REALLY helps us that AP is child beating douche canoe and we don't have to worry as much about their run game. Keep an eye out on Bridgewater and his legs.

Skins 27
Vikings 17

Re: Skins vs. Vikes Pregame Thread
 

In think this may be a tougher game than some think.

They're all tough. Hopefully we wont be overlooking anybody

Look at their schedule. Good qb's have done them in. Not sure its that good. Eff them. Effers. Gonna whoop it up on them.

That's fair enough. I was pointing to the fact that they are #2 in the league in sacks.

As long as we don't call a lot of 7 step drops, we just might whoop up on them.

Similar probably to skins. 10? Sacks vs jags. 5 in Dallas. 6 other games couldnt sniff the qb. Anyhoo lets just kick their ass and take a bye. Go colts, cards, and whoever birds r playing. Cannot believe there is hope?!?!

Isnt that just par for the course? Mothereffer. We should still beat the vikes. Hopefully he is 100% for TB. But isnt that just Redskins bologna? Ofcourse this happened?!?

Re: Skins vs. Vikes Pregame Thread
 

[quote=scowan;1092222]I think Haslett learned he can trust his rookie corner and his 2nd year corner Amerson after Monday night. With that bit of knowledge, he should be able to continue to disguise his blitzes the way he wants to in order to keep another rookie Teddy Bridgewater guessing. I'm worried more about RG3's decision making and abilities after a 6 week break than our defense at this point.[/quote]

I have to agree with this. Our defense hasn't been the issue all season. The issue has been bad offense (turnovers) and bad special teams. If we break even on special teams, are able to move the ball offensively with no turnovers, and convert red zone possessions into TDs then this is a W. If we turn the ball over, settle for FGs in the red zone, or give up big plays in special teams then this is a L.

That simple.

Re: Skins vs. Vikes Pregame Thread
 

Even if RG3 plays poorly, Gruden has to leave him in there. The coaches need to know what they have by the end of the season. Plus you don't need a QB controversy.

Re: Skins vs. Vikes Pregame Thread
 

[quote=ethat001;1092326]Wasn't sure what the right thread was for this.. but anyone know what's wrong with the running game? There are a few articles discussing this over the past weeks, and blame goes to Alf Morris not seeing holes, O-line not making blocks (guards/RT messing up), poor TE and WR blocking, and perhaps lack of RG3 threat to run.... There were a handful of good runs last game, but most were stopped at line of scrimmage.

I'm hoping that RG3 coming back will help. But I wonder whether S.Long or M.Moses will be any good this year (or just false hope), and I wonder whether getting Redd more carries could help as well.. (Don't see Helu as an every down back, but he catches well.)


Seeing the gaping holes the Dallas line was creating for Murray made me envious. It seemed pretty stupid of Dallas last game to abandon their power running game to let their hobbled QB lose the game for them.[/quote]

In the Tennessee game,Gannon the commentator mentioned more than once about the tight ends and especially receivers whiffing on blocks and being no help in the running game

Re: Skins vs. Vikes Pregame Thread
 

Clifton Geathers released and Philip Thomas brought up from the PS. Hopefully he can stay healthy. We need the help at safety.

Re: Skins vs. Vikes Pregame Thread
 

Not buying into the dream just yet....

Vikings 20
Redskins 17

They did beat us last year with Griffin playing his best game of the season

Re: Skins vs. Vikes Pregame Thread
 

Seems like we struggle to defend against mobile QBs which is fucking enfuriorating since the defense has practiced against one since 2012. If Bridgewater has a great game it'll be tough to win tomorrow.

Re: Skins vs. Vikes Pregame Thread
 

Special teams failures and a crucial fumble by Alfmo or Griffin.
Vikings 35
Skins 28

i'm at Fort Lee Va now and I was wondering if the skins are played here all the time or will I need my Sunday ticket on my computer to watch?

I don't know why Gruden couldn't have Colt relieve RGIII if necessary and then have RGIII start again against the Bucs. There doesn't need to be a QB controversy if a developing young QB is having a poor game and is relieved by a veteran backup QB for the remainder of that particular game.

Sadly, I think you are right, I don't have a good feeling about this game, guess as fans we'll just have to hope for the best. The Vikes defense is pretty good, plus I suspect that Zimmer will know all of Gruden's tendencies, which will be a big problem. The Dallas win was amazing, so we know as Skins fans it is time to come back to Earth, of course the ghost of 2012, is still there...

Do you not think Gruden will know Zimmer's?

Re: Skins vs. Vikes Pregame Thread
 

Same old Redskins or something new? Let's find out.

Re: Skins vs. Vikes Pregame Thread
 

Isn't this the game where there will be organized demonstrations against the word "Redskin" ?


Either way, the 'Skins band together, Griff works the rust off quickly and the 'Skins get the "W".

I'm thinking it will be a close game, but a win on the road in the NFL is still a quality win.

Hail to the Redskins!

Griffin has 4 tds

Re: Skins vs. Vikes Pregame Thread
 

The Skin's buses have hit each other. No injuries reported.

Re: Skins vs. Vikes Pregame Thread
 

Saw some Twitter pix - the accident seems like it was a little more than a fender bender but no one hurt. Man that's crazy. Never seen anything like it. Apparently the police escort missed an exit ramp and hit the brakes, causing the rear bus to collide with one in front. So Minneapolis police apparently don't know how to get to the stadium. Sheesh.

Well by product of the front office driven personel decisions. Simple as that. Robert needs to go get this win and all this goes away.

If we lose and plays poor, well this will continue and the problems in the locker room, front office etc gets worse.

Wouldn't be the skins without bullshit drama, Snyder meddling, and the media blowing stuff up

Does it scare anybody else that Snyder is going to turn out like Jerry Jones? Like down on the sideline telling the coach who to put in the game?

Gruden is going away if he tries to keep RGIII on the bench.
