Redskins vs. Bears pre-game/predictions

MTK · 09-08-2005, 08:51 AM

It's about that time folks, time for our first pre-game/predictions thread of the 2005 season! Wow, time really flies doesn't it? Seems like just yesterday we were wrapping up a difficult 2004 season, but each season brings hope, the records are dialed back to 0-0, and everyone has a shot (except for the Cowboys

)

So let's hear your Skins-Bears predictions and pre-game chatter! Football is back, and it's about damn time!

Washington Redskins 20
Chicago Bears 9

We are the better football team, no question in my mind. As long as Ramsey dosent make any big mistakes, and our line continues playing well, we should be in good shape. My player of the game is going to be Clinton Portis, I think he's going to have a huge day on Sunday. I think the Bears will muster up a few feild goals, but I'm pretty sure we can shut them down.

Yeah, I agree that this will be close to the final score... and that this game depends a lot on how Ramsey does. If he goes out against a poor team like the Bears and makes a bunch of bad decisions, be indecisive and thows 3-4 ints, then that will give the Bears a chance. But I think the Skins D will severly limit the Bears from much yardage and little scoring.

MTK · 09-08-2005, 09:07 AM

I also think Portis is in for a big day. I really have high expectations of our offensive line and running game this season. I think the potential is there for a 1500+ yard season from CP. I also think Betts can kick in with a healthy contribution as well.

I'm calling an opening day blowout. A rookie QB against this D on the road? That's a recipe for disaster in my mind.

I think Ramsey will be fine with this running game grinding away.

Redskins 24
Bears 6

gortiz · 09-08-2005, 09:13 AM

Redskins 17

Bears 13

RAmsey goes 18-33, 215 yards, 1 TD and 2 int's
Portis 115 yards 1TD
Moss 6-85 yards 1TD

Take a look at our predictions last year for the 04 season, how many 10-6's did we see? We have to be realistic, our offense is still looking sluggish, better, but sluggish.

Its going to be sloppy and frustrating game, but we see flashes. Ramsey and the O aren't going to start clicking till week 4.

SUNRA · 09-08-2005, 09:21 AM

If Ramsey has one turnover and less than four sacks, the Redskins win 21, Chicago 7. Special teams is key in this game. We need Antonio Brown to get us near the middle of the field to allow Ramsey, Moss and Portis room to work. 2 TDs on offense. 1 TD from the defense. INT return from Sean Springs.

SUNRA presents a ray of sun in this thread.

My pick: B&G 21 dabears 13.

Bears 3

Skins 27

I can't believe there are people out there that think the Bears defense will be better than ours, and that Kyle Orton might be the next Tom Brady. C'mon people.......HE'S A ROOKIE going up against the #3 defense. Yeah we lost Pierce and Smoot, but I believe Gregg Williams has these guys focused.

With all that being said....I see a big game for Portis. The o-line will give him plenty of holes to run through. I think Ramsey will have a decent game, and will throw for a couple of TD's........one being a 40 yd bomb to Santana Moss.

What people don't get is our worst enemy for our Defense is our Offense. We turn the ball over, give up Defensive touchdowns, don't control the ball, are terrible on 3rd downs, and don't give our D time to rest! I think our offensive will put our Defensive in bad situations!

Our D will only give up 7 points this weekend, but our offensive is going to hand over 9 more with turnovers/field position/and lack of ball control. But I still say we win.

jbcjr14 · 09-08-2005, 09:44 AM

Defense controls this game on both sides. Skins 17 Bears 10. Ramsey will have a productive day 15-25 for 200yds 1TD and 1INT(in the red zone). Special teams will set up a score with a big PR or KR by Antonio Brown. Game will be close on the scoreboard, but the skins will dominate the game and the Bears will score late.

BrudLee · 09-08-2005, 10:01 AM

Redskins 20

Bears 13

Expect a lot of early runs from the Bears, in the hopes of setting up play-action. Portis will have 20+ carries, and at least 110 yards. Cooley will score the first TD for the Redskins this year.

TheMalcolmConnection · 09-08-2005, 10:04 AM

24-6

Portis runs wild yet again EXCEPT this year he gets into the end zone. I read the whole article about the Bears D and if they let someone go by, they are right into the secondary.

rome108 · 09-09-2005, 05:36 PM

31-10 Skins. Ramsey earns NFC offense player of the week after throwing 3 TDs, no INTs and 300+ yards. Believe it or not

Warpath · 09-09-2005, 05:50 PM

I believe in the skins! I think we will win with a heavy does of Clinton Portis then opening up the play action and I think we might see at least 1 or 2 big shots downfield. Amazing...

irish · 09-08-2005, 10:29 AM

skins 14
bears 6

2 PR picks give the bears great field position but they settle for FGs. A short td pass and a short td run gives the skins all the points they need to win.
