Skins vs. Cards Pregame Thread
 

Damn, its Thursday and no pregame thread yet?

We still stuck on Seattle?

Oh well. Let's move forward into our next mediocre performance.

Re: Skins vs. Cards Pregame Thread
 

Arizona is a good team but if they have to start Logan Thomas I like our chances. I watched Logan for 4 years at VT and if we get the bad LT we should have a good shot at winning.

Re: Skins vs. Cards Pregame Thread
 

Somehow I think we put together a game just good enough to win. The Cards have so many injuries and the QB situation is up in the air. And while little of the last two weeks would give rise to optimism, this is the kind of game the Skins win to pull me back from writing off the season (only to later dash my hopes).

Skins 27
Cards 26.

I agree. If Thomas starts, we have an excellent chance of winning. He's a great athlete but not a pro-ready QB.

You must have forgotten the Redskins record vs. Rookie QBS over the years

Re: Skins vs. Cards Pregame Thread
 

[quote=EARTHQUAKE2689;1088715]You must have forgotten the Redskins record vs. Rookie QBS over the years[/quote]

True, although we've historically had a very good record against the Cards too. I tend to no put too much stock in stuff like that (e.g., we just broke our streak of Ws on Monday night versus the previous year's SB winner). My thoughts is that if the rookie is starting, and Campbell is out (who I think is probably their best player not named Fitzgerald right now), that's a boost to us.

Re: Skins vs. Cards Pregame Thread
 

If they start Logan I hope they have better success containing the QB. He can make plays with his feet and I think he's faster than Wilson too. Plus like Quake said QB's that don't have any film on them kill the Redskins historically.

Re: Skins vs. Cards Pregame Thread
 

If the Skins dont win this game against with LT playing then 2014 is officially over.

Skins 23
AZ 20

Re: Skins vs. Cards Pregame Thread
 

Arians may also be thinking that it is smarter to start the rookie against a weak team like the Redskins (at home) to get his #1 and #2 more time to get healthy. I suspect that Gruden may have had similar thoughts about not playing Reed last week, as it sounded like he was close to ready before the game -- i.e., why subject him to the Seahawks D and a team we're unlikely to beat if he's not 100% and we will need him for the rest of the season?

True but Logan Thomas in the NFL is one of those project qb's. He's nowhere near ready at this point especially if Haslett throws the book at him.

Logan Thomas sux

Re: Skins vs. Cards Pregame Thread
 

Is Palmer definitely out?

Re: Skins vs. Cards Pregame Thread
 

[quote=Hijinx;1088737]Is Palmer definitely out?[/quote]

No, but I read that they're taking things very slowly with him, as nerve damage is susceptible to relapse. Having said that, he's shown a lot of improvement this past week, and so I think no one knows. But Arians, with the Redskins coming to town, may not want to risk the relapse against a team that he believes they can and should beat even without Palmer.

Either way, the Redskins absolutely have to generate pressure and hit whomever is under center.

Re: Skins vs. Cards Pregame Thread
 

I think this is actually, relative to the discrepancy in our records, a pretty favorable match up for the Redskins. If we win this one, we have a few easy games coming up, and we could make it to the bye with a decent record. Got to hold on to hope:

Redskins: 27
Cardinals: 24

(almost every cardinals game I can remember was won or lost by 3 points)

Sounds about right to me.

Re: Skins vs. Cards Pregame Thread
 

anyone else going to be at the game??

Re: Skins vs. Cards Pregame Thread
 

Our 2014 season in a nutshell so far. Looked good at 1-1, not so much after that.

Right up until Logan Thomas goes 22/28 265 yards 2 TDs 0 Ints isnt sacked and runs one in as well

If he can run, we are screwed. Can't remember the last time the defense had a good game against an athletic QB.

At this point I hope we win (1) game, hopefully get the #1 pick and try this QB thing again.. The problem is we never suck bad enough. Just think, we were (1) pick away from having a franchise QB.

Might have to start him in fantasy. Oh wait then he wouldn't get any points. But I don't want him to get points so i do want to start him. Im so confusd

[quote=Chico23231;1088736]we are calling that "unleashing" these days[/quote]

LOL.

Gruden has the team ready for this game and we win a close one, 24-23. I wanna see the the ball in Jackson's hands a lot. With Griffin gone, he seems to be the spark for the offense and we'll need that against Arizona's defense.

Oh, and perhaps we'll finally get a glimpse of the most elusive of all creatures, a Tracy Porter... ehhh, on second thought, forget that... his existence hasn't even been proven yet... probably more likely to see a JReed.

Re: Skins vs. Cards Pregame Thread
 

I am going 28-17, Cards.

Re: Skins vs. Cards Pregame Thread
 

I think the the bigger sit this weekend is Peterson than Palmer. Peterson is the best cb in the league, he sits we win.

Re: Skins vs. Cards Pregame Thread
 

Probably the wrong place to post this . . .

When are Cofield and Bowen due back?

Re: Skins vs. Cards Pregame Thread
 

They want a new QB since Cousins threw 4 picks. Interesting...

Isn't RG3 our franchise quarterback? Are we giving up on him now?

Peterson is extremely overrated. Still a great player he just gets beat a lot.

[quote=REDSKINS4ever;1088785]Isn't RG3 our franchise quarterback? Are we giving up on him now?[/quote]

People want a Tom Brady, Drew Breez, or Peyton Manning. Only problem is they are unique talents. Also it took time to develop them and to add other talent around them. Theses QBs have to have the best o-lines, the best WRs. Notice how Breez and Brady are not dominating like they used to.

[quote=REDSKINS4ever;1088785]Isn't RG3 our franchise quarterback? Are we giving up on him now?[/quote]

Hard to be a franchise QB when you spend half your career holding a clipboard on the sideline. And you can't throw out of the pocket.

Yeah, DJ has definitely been the only difference maker so far on the offensive side of the ball. I would like him to get the ball early and often. I don't care if it's deep go routes, screens, reverse runs...whatever.

I actually have the Skins running away with this one. I'm not scared of their offense, I don't care who is the QB, so if we can finally get ours going it shouldn't be close - providing our ST doesn't shit the bed again...

Ill go with a Redskin win here just because we are due for some false hope before we lose to the feckin Titans.

Re: Skins vs. Cards Pregame Thread
 

So i'm kool-aided out. I don't see this team beating a quality opponent in Arizona. I would like to see a win, but I can't justifiably predict it. 23-20 Cards win. Sad to see us be the team like Arizona was when they were in our division.

Re: Skins vs. Cards Pregame Thread
 

Watched the entire hawks game the other night, I was lucky enough to have a cool as drill sgt on shift lol. Anyways I liked kc and djax both looked good. Reed out again? He's made of glass smh. Defense is bad still didn't know hall was out also sucks. Looks like a 5 win team to me. Just another down yr for the skins. O well is what it is. Hope all of u r doing well ill be out of basic training in 18 days! Then I'll be back on here again. Httr

Hang in there man. Was wondering where you were. Yeah pretty much DJax a stud - Morris could be but apparently Gruden will never run the ball again so....
