Re: Redskins vs. Giants pre-game thread
 

Anyone else want it to be 415 on Sunday RIGHT NOW?

Re: Redskins vs. Giants pre-game thread
 

No. Only about 12pm Sunday in the gray lot!!!

Re: Redskins vs. Giants pre-game thread
 

My concern is our run defense against Jacobs and Bradshaw. I know Carriker, Cofield, and Bowen have to be better than Carriker, Kemoeatu, and Haynesworth. But I still saw some opposing RBs knifing through the line this preseason.

Re: Redskins vs. Giants pre-game thread
 

Predictions:

Hightower = 130 yards, 2 TDs
Helu = 85 yards, 1 TD

[quote=polywog;832673]Did you see the Giant's play in preseason? The were awful. We will CLOBBER them![/quote]

I feel like we have already clobbered em. Playing the game on sunday is really just a formality for us to get the official "win". I feel bad for people with tickets to the game because its not even really going to be a competition where the outcome is up for debate.

if the giants aren't hooked up to life support right now, they def will be after the game. We should go and donate a bunch of blood to the local bank. they are gonna need it.

I am truly thinking that this will be a blow out. My credibility is now tied to it.

I don't care about any game other than the current game.

Re: Redskins vs. Giants pre-game thread
 

We still have question marks at DB. So people think Eli will tear us up. One thing about Eli Manning is he doesn't like to get sacked and will throw into coverage to prevent it. If Kerrigan and Orackpo can get to Eli early.. itll be a long day for the Giants.

I predict D. Hall to have a INT this game!

Re: Redskins vs. Giants pre-game thread
 

Not sure why some of you think it's going to be a blowout in our favor. This is a division rival that's swept us a few years in a row. Their D-line is still good, and will keep them into the game all by itself. I can definitely see this coming down to a field goal. Don't get me wrong, I'm hoping for us to blow them out, but realistically, probably not going to happen.

Why they are worse than last year: Their D-line is missing Tuck and Usi. They called me and asked if I would play CB for them. There starting middle LB wasn't with the team 2 weeks ago. There offensive line is revamped after cutting O'hara & Seubert.

Why we are better: Do I really need to rehash?

We've improved they are on life support. Yes, its a rivalry, but right now they are hurting. Given the respective changes, it is certainly not unreasonable to think we may just overpower them. It may not be likely, but it certainly is in the realm of possibility. Get to Eli early, stuff the run, get their D-Line moving and Hightower rolling, it could be a lonnnnggg day for the G-men.

Re: Redskins vs. Giants pre-game thread
 

Yeah there is somewhat of a Gmen jinx going on, but they are REALLY depleted this time. IF we do lose to them, there is a curse on us with regards to the Giants. Maybe Wellington cursed us just before he died then. I have Hightower, Moss, and Gaffney all on my fantasy team. I am not going to start both Wrs though. I think Burleson is going to have a nice game against the Bucs. I am going to start the Skins D also. I hope they are a nice surprise this season.

Re: Redskins vs. Giants pre-game thread
 

Has anyone else been hearing the rumors of the potential terrorist attacks this weekend and wondered if they might be planning something for the game? Think about it, 85,000 people gathering at a stadium on the 10th anniversary of 9/11, that would be an obvious target to me. I've heard a couple things that's making me reconsider going to the game. Nothing credible but you never know.

Re: Redskins vs. Giants pre-game thread
 

I'd like to see us win an away NFC East game, I really don't care how.
I see the skins as a 7-9 team...which means we may win 3 of 6 NFC east games, maybe.
Winning an away game would be huge, especially one with emotionally charged NYC fans due to 9/11. I just don't see it happening...yet.
This team needs to gel, especially the defense.
The giants have run all over us, I don't know if we have the size to stop them yet...we shall see. I sure hope I am wrong.

A van filled with explosives couldn't get close to the stadium itself, but an attempt to get into one of the parking lots seems plausible.

There is so much police presence at an NFL game that I find it hard to believe that would be the kind of target that a POS terrorist would even consider.

Re: Redskins vs. Giants pre-game thread
 

Give me a break with this terrorist bullshit. It's amazing how the media can send people into fear by pumping out crap like this. It's sickening that the public buys into this crap. You are more likely to be killed by a raving drunken idiot in the parking lot than you are of Muhammad blowing you up in his Jihad. Which do YOU think is the bigger priority? Amazing how backwards we have our priorities.

Re: Redskins vs. Giants pre-game thread
 

Authorities are on high alert. Security at the stadium, at airports, etc., will be tight. It's not like 9/11/01 when everyone had their guards down. I think game-goers will be just fine.

However, the Giants had better watch out for an explosion, because Helu is THE BOMB!

Exactly what's so serious about it? Again, the drunks at the stadium pose more of a threat than any terrorist, but you don't hear the media talking about that. Probably because the alcohol companies are pumping their pockets full of cash to advertise their products. I'm willing to bet you good money that a good portion of people (that drink before/during game) are legally drunk when they drive home. Yet we are supposed to worry about the bogey man from across the seas trying to take our way of life away? Puuuhlease.
