Re: Redskins v Patriots predictions
 

Patriots website:

The Patriots have not defeated the Redskins since 1972 and have lost six consecutive games to Washington. After the Redskins, the team against which the Patriots have their longest victory drought is the New York Giants, a team that they last defeated in 2003. The Patriots' six-game losing streak against Washington is their longest current losing streak against any opponent. The Patriots' next longest losing streak to an opponent is three games (Indianapolis Colts, Denver Broncos).



Thanks for the welcome!

[quote=SC Skins Fan;368684]I was trying to figure out why all the 'Pokes fans were hijacking this thread, which in no way concerns them. Then I remembered:

1) Bye week in Dallas and they are getting bored.

2) They got ripped a new one by the Pats and are REALLY hoping the Skins take it hard so they won't feel so bad about themselves.

3) Cowboys fans not from Texas (I can at least deal with the locals, they have no choice) are just a bunch of bandwagon riders anyway so they just went and found the top game of the week and decided to ride the NE wagon for a few days.
[/quote]
Good analysis [B]SC[/B] Skins Fan. My two cents:

1) I post regularly on this board because of friends and co-workers.

2) You might be right, I hate the Pats because Dallas recently lost to them but there is nothing that would make a Cowboys fan want the Skins to win (unless it would help the Cowboys get into the playoffs, even then it would be iffy)

3) Oh yeah, bandwagon riders, for three straight years they went 5-11, 12 years since they won the SB, what a great ride that was!

[quote]Go find your own forum and come back in Nov. when the Cowboys are actually involved, or at least offer some intelligent analysis. You are adding absolutely nothing to the conversation. [/quote]
FYI, I do visit Cowboys forums and over there we welcome other teams fans because we do want a different prospective, no one wants to keep reading posts by total homers. I like this forum because I live in the DC area and the member, most of them, are nice and intelligent.

You are my comrade in battle. I can't stand a so-called fan predicting what Parcells or someother bandwagon jackass has to say about the Patriots. It takes a real fan to stand with his team especially when they have shown signs of greatest on both sides of the ball. The Colts defense sucked last year and they lost several games but when it really clicked it clicked.

[quote=Vulta121;368702]Guys listen we are probably playing the best team ever. This team has a legitimate chance to go 16-0 no other teams can say that.

Don't ever believe the hype. That's how you get in trouble whether the hype is for you or against you. Ask Mike Tyson AFTER he fought Buster Douglas, and then on the flip side ask Buster Douglas BEFORE he fought Iron Mike.

If I was the redskins I would be pumped up to play a team like the Patriots, that everyone is saying might be the best ever. All I would say with a game face is - wait after the game. But that's just me.

Nope, it is just fuel on the fire for the Patriots, and you know Belichick is throwing this fact in the face of his players every day this week to help motivate them.

Re: Redskins v Patriots predictions
 

I'm smelling a lot of homerism around here, and I must say...it smells like warm apple pie...lol!:D

This is going to be the toughest test for us yet. With that said, we always show up in big games, and I believe we will bring our A game with us. Playing teams that are waaaay better than you makes you better as well. I have always believed that. With that said, win or lose, I believe this game is going to give this team a lot of confidence.

With that said, my head believes the Patriots will win this game, but it's going to be very hard fought. They will have to earn every single point they score. If I go with my head, it will be the Patriots 26 Redskins 16.

Ok, now I'm going with my heart. We have history on our side. The Patriots haven't beaten us since, what, the early 70's? We have beaten the Patriots with Tom Brady before, and I believe we can do it again. This will be a true "Rocky Balboa" story for us. Everybody will believe that if we can stand toe to toe with the Patriots until the last second of the game, it will be a moral victory for us. I say we can shock the world and beat them on their field in front of their fans. 20-17.

Oh, and Cowboys fans (not the good ones who post here regularly but the trolls,) Dallas may have a better offense than we do right now, but their defense isn't nearly as nasty as our defense. The Patriots will realize we're for real.

Re: Redskins v Patriots predictions
 

WOW I didn’t realize my prediction post was such a big thing. I guess you guys just [B]over look the Redskin fans[/B] on this site posting predictions of 42-6, 42-7- 42-0, 50-0, 42-10 etc. So don’t come at me a Cowboy fan with this BS.

saden1,GTripp0012,skinsfan_nn,warriorzpath,Sheriff Gonna Getcha you need to talk to your own warpathers who are Redskin fans before for you talk about my score prediction.

Christ, you mean to tell me not one person on this godforsaken site didn't realize before the season start its going to be 16-0 for the Pats. It’s like there freaking destiny to go undefeated. I see only 2 teams right now that might be able to handle them, Colts and Steelers. Giants might if they can get to the QB but Eli will probably throw the game away.

That's the difference. You posted a score on a Skins board that had the Skins getting beat by 39 points, a margin of victory greater than any Pats victory this year. [I]What did you think was going to happen?[/I]

BTW, the Pats play both the Steelers and Colts this year. It either is their destiny to go undefeated, or it isn't. It can't be their destiny to go 16-0, except 1/8 of the season when the team they are playing is good. That makes no sense.

3) The Dallas fans that attend the Cowboy games on Sundays are such a disappointment. Do you ever hear crowd noise...NO you dont.

When the hell do you have to be from Texas or from the same place the team is to be a fan of a team. Dallas is the only team for most people from the South like my family in TEN, ARK, Miss, Alabama, and Texas. Bandwagoner is a person that I can never be. I think you need to check yourself first.

New score prediction only if you can control the game clock because the Pats are good at that.

Re: Redskins v Patriots predictions
 

Ok. I was staring at my computer at the office today and just decided we need to skip this damn game. Realistically, you all know our D will spend the whole f'n game on the field, which means huge injury risks at a time when we're just getting healed up and we have a tough stretch ahead. Pats are AFC anyway, who the hell cares about this game! We need to be healthy to have a chance against NFC opponents, especially till Thomas gets back and we can reestablish the running game.

I already hate this f'n game. If we can get through w/o major injuries I'll consider it a win for us (I already predicted CP gets seriously injured in this game, and I still think it's going to happen).

A true fan of THE game, maybe. But I think a true fan of a TEAM always has confidence and hope that their team will win.

I knew the Cowboys had no chance at defeating New England, simply because they have no defense. I am ABSOLUTELY certain you thought your team had a chance. So do we. A better chance, I might add, because we have a defense that's worth something.

this will propel us up to about the 5th spot, the league will be shocked and this game will be talked about alway to the superbowl, with this win, we will finish the season tied with Giants 11-5, and Dallas will be a wildcard, Jason Campbell will put together some great 3rd Down drives...... we will trail until the 4th until we start to get the breaks we missed against the packs and giants......our running game will be better than soild, with Ben Watson out and no Sammy Morris aling.....we will come up big on D... this will probably cost us a big player on defense (injury for 3 weeks), but for this to work, we need Marcus Washington and Casey Rabach[/QUOTE]

This is the part that pisses me off. People equate being southern or country (I'm REALLY reserving the word "redneck trash") with liking the Cowboys.

Why?

Because there's nothing that validates you being "country" more than liking a Cowboy. Why? Because Cowboys are what being country is all about.

Sure there are country people everywhere who like all teams, but I don't think many people can deny that MANY Cowboy fans tend to lean on the redneck side of the fence.

Re: Redskins v Patriots predictions
 

OK, I played the game on Madden yesterday.

The Pats won 24-15. I NEVER lose on Madden. Is this a bad sign?

Highlights:

Campbell efficient except for late 4th-qtr INT, TD pass to Moss and one to Betts

Skins running game shut down, but so was NE's except for one nice 15-20 yd run by Maroney

Our D was tough all game, especially on 3rd and 4th down

Brady to Stallworth for 67 yd TD was their only big offensive play

Taylor cleaned Moss' clock several times. Randy had a slow day

London Fletcher - stranied tricep in 1st quarter, missed rest of game, Blades filled in nicely.

Game was 0-0 late in in the 2nd quarter. NE missed an earlier FG. Suisham nailed a FG to put us up 3-0 going into half, NE took back the next kickoff to take a 7-3 halftime lead.

I do a football picks with my friend and I sure as hell did not pick Dallas that week. Dallas secondary will suck until they put Linebacker 31 at the linebacker position. When they lost the game I was not upset at all.

Dallas might of had a chance in hell had Henry played, they didn't release Aaron Glenn, and if T New had been 100% I might of would of picked them to win.

I stop thinking that my fav team can win every game years ago. Its crazy to think that there going to win every time. You will stress yourself out and become upset week in and out. Sometimes you have to face the facts when there are glaring holes in your team at different positions, skill level, or coaching. When you do face the facts there will always be a glimmer of hope in the back of your mind that maybe just maybe they can pull it off.

Who said anything about "Country" "Redneck" etc. One can be "Country" and be from upstate New York and like the NYGiants. I think you missed the point. A lot of folks in those southern states back then only had the Cowboys to watch on TV. At least my folks did and thats why they are fans and others. Had the Chargers been on TV they would of been Charger fans. There are 32 NFL teams in 20 states but there are 50 states.
