Can the redskins beat the lions without portis and moss

[gibbsisgod]

I can see the Lions coming in and having a big letdown after a huge win last week. They are in for a rude awakening come Sunday. We are not the Bears. JC will beat them deep on atleast 4 occasions. Moss and Portis will play and Portis will have 200 yards from scrimmage. Moss will be doubled all day so ARE and Lloyd will both score. Yea I said Lloyd will score. We put up 40+, and the Defense gets 6 sacks and 4 picks from Kitna and hold them to 13.



Bitches!

When is the last time the Skins scored 40+ points?

From memory I think it was San Francisco in 05.

There's no question that Moss would be a bigger loss than Portis. Our roster is built to sustain RB injuries, but our depth is so lacking at WR even with Moss in the lineup it's hard to imagine us really threatening to stretch the field.

This week is a classic example of everybody needs to step up and pick up the slack for those who can't play due to injury. I think Moss and Portis will play, maybe not the whole game, but just their presence will help. I expect a big game from someone we wouldn't normally count on, I just don't know who yet. Maybe it is Lloyd, maybe Betts or the Rock. Our D has to be solid though. We can't get into a shootout with this team, we just weren't built for it.

We need to win against Detroit and it doesn't matter how.

I do not expect this game to be a "breakout" game on offense. It's hard to have a breakout game without two of your starting o-lineman, and possibly two of your starting offense weapons.

What I hope to see, is an offense similar to the end of 2006. We'll try and shove the ball up their throats, and pray for turnovers and plays on special teams. This is a very winnable game, but we'll need to control the clock.

I'm really hoping we can pull a close one out, because I really don't think they're is any other way to do it. Godspeed redskins.

Prediction: Redskins 20 Lions 17 (OT)

Every NFL team has injuries. It's not an excuse. Det played w/out Calvin Johnson last week.

It's not an excuse if we lose cause there are teams with injuries that are winning.

Here is a comforting stat:

The lions lost on the road to philly - badly.
Then they did beat the Bears -- but the bears were missing their ENTIRE SECONDARY and lance briggs.

Kitna may throw some picks this week.. i just hope the right side of the line steps up, maybe that new OL demulling will start over Fabini.

I agree! To be realistic these days a great day would be 28 points scored! and a solid victory would be by only 10 points...don't remember the last game we dominated and won by more than 14 points. This is the new reality of where we are...It does not mean we don't play well!
