Skins vs Hawks Predictions

[VTSkins897]

okay that was a joke. i expect our D to hold them but not completely shut them out. they might churn out 13-16 points. i am MORE interested in seeing if the offense can finally open it up.

since the excitement from the dallas game has lessened, i hope that brunell and the guys can put up some points early in the game and then lock down defensively instead of playing comeback. in addition, i'm interested in seeing if it was just by chance that brunell matched the number of good throws he had last year (except in 4 minutes). i hope he isn't out of them. PR for pres.!

I think we will open up our offense. Gibbs now has confidence in Brunell's deep passing ability. This should open the run for Portis.

38-9 skins

Seattle can score and Shaun Alexander is running downhill right now. He looks great. Your D can load eight in the box and have Taylor smack him everytime he pokes his head through the hole. Count on the Seahawks receivers dropping at least two or three catchable balls. Even so this team can score. For washington to win you will need to beat them:

Not on our D they can't

I also didn't add that Seattle is on the road and they may collapse. Plus those WR drops hurt more on the road. Looks like the Skins have every reason to go 3-0. I really don't know if Dallas can beat Oakland.

Yeah you guys have tough game this week. Oakland is desperate, and they have a bye next week, and I'm sure they don't want to go 0-4 into their bye week. It's going to be a high scoring affair. Your Defense needs to step up and stop Moss.

My thoughts exactly. I think that Portis will run a little better this week(110) and the pass game will impove as well (225). The D will be itself and we take this one Redskins 20 Seahags 10

I would think otherwise. Oakland's Pass D is horrible! If Bledsoe can open up the passing lanes, it'll allow Jones to pound the ball in the 2nd half. If the front 7 can pressure Collins all day, he'll crumble like a soda can. If Moss can be held again without a TD, Dallas is on the right track.

However, I hope Dallas gets their asses kicked...sorry, but I am a Skins fan first and foremost.

skins 41-10, with a defensive TD as well as a special teams TD. This will propel us into the limelight.

I have to see the offense produce before I believe it. Novak kicks 4 FGs, one from 49, Brunell has a 12-26, 120 yds day, Portis runs 25 times for 100 yards, and our defense holds Alexander in check until the 4th quarter, when his TD make it 12-10 with 3 minutes to go. Our offense stalls but our defense stops them to get the ball back and run out the clock.

I like your analysis.....let's just add a little more homerism though.

I like your scenario, but I say B&G 13-10. 1 TD and 2 FGs for us.
Whatever equates to 10 for the seaslugs.
