(Mega Merged Thread) Redskins-Dallas Game

Prediction: Cooley, Sellers and Jacobs all have 4 catches and 3 TD's between them. I bet BP missed the boat this week on preparation. Oh, and do not forget that HB pass and that Portis can also toss the ball around a bit.

JUST WIN BABY!

You are right, I can't bring myself to spellcheck a word I should know how to spell so I figure it will click in sooner or later. Then I just go and spell it wrong again.

I did worry about your dump passes to your TE and FB. I know those guys - Cooley esp - can get first downs. I have seen Cooley put it on the ground a few times though. If Portis get that HB option to work I think I will turn the television off. I thought Sellers had been injured.

Seriously, the DB's better be watching when Portis lopes out toward the sideline without seriously looking for a hole inside.

Dallas needs the Washington offense - offence? g*dd*Mn!! - to sputter and give up a couple of turnovers.

Our offensive line is on high gear right now and will crush the Dat-less CGirls D all day. Not to mention Sean Taylor is playing as well as anyone in the NFL right now and our D line is almost completely healthy. Did anyone see the Chiefs completely have their way with Dallas at the line of scrimmage? It was ridiculous.

I really feel like Dallas fans are reaching on this one, talking about how their healthy secondary is going to be the difference in a game that will obviously be won in the trenches and hinge on the run, which the Redskins D is very prepared to SHUT DOWN.

Welllll.......I wouldn't exactly say our o-line is in high-gear right now. We had a couple of good games against very average defensive lines. On a couple of occasions we couldn't punch it in from the goal line or third and very short. I think how they stand up against Dallas will be the best test we've had since, oh perhaps the San Diego game.

And please don't take this as me trying to counter everything in your post, but our defensive line is a little hobbled right now. Everyone will suit up, but I doubt everyone is completey healthy...then again no one in the NFL is completely healthy at this time of the year.

I feel you on Taylor's play, though. He's playing really good ball right now. He's playing the run very well, and we know what he can do when the ball's in the air. I think he should be a Pro-Bowler this year, but we'll see how the chips fall.

No offense to either side, but anyone calling for this to be a crushing win/loss in either direction is pretty much talking out their ass. These teams are dead even in stats and talent if you ask me. Dallas has a slightly better passing offense, we have a slightly better running offense, and so on.

I love the smack talk and team spirit as much as the next guy, but anyone seriously arguing for a blowout one way or another is just going a little too far.

My prediction: 17-14 Redskins. Skins get an early lead, play back and forth all game, take the lead late in the fourth and the D comes up with a big stand in the last few minutes.

Sounds 'bout right.

You my friend, get the Phil Simms Iron Man award! Oh, I forgot they give that out on Thanksgiving....

speaking of the iron man award, did anyone notice the reaction of ron dayne's face while eating that pie? it looked like he was trying real hard to be polite to simms... he even had an extra bite towards the end of the interview, but it looked like he didn't enjoy it!

Ok, seeing as people rarely return to their pre-game prediction posts, I thought I would. And clearly I was talking out my ass and didn't know jack. So, I'm willing to publicly admit I was flat out wrong, and I apologize to those I corrected who thought this was a blowout. I'm willing to eat crow.

And by the way, this crow is DELICIOUS. I sure hope I'm wrong like this more often!

Intentional?
