Predictions: Redskins @ Cowboys

[firstdown]

Wow, 28 people who come to this sight and talk skins football could bring themself to pick the Cowboys. Ok, maybe its a little less because we do have a few fans from other teams. I couldn't pick the Cowboys even if our entire line of starters where out due to injury. How do you talk smack while picking the other team to win?

Yep. According to Buster we're all "traitors." I'm a huge, huge, maniacal Skins fan to the point where my family members and friends think I have problems, but I can still be objective. Thus far Dallas is better than we are, and by a fairly large margin. I'll be screaming bloody murder at the damn TV from 4:15 till 7ish on Sunday evening, but I don't quite think we're gonna pull this one out.

And I would love nothing more to be wrong.

Sure sure. This is DALLAS WEEK. If you can't get excited and have faith that we'll beat them, Chief Zee should whack you with his hatchet.

Being a Redskins fan means HATING DALLAS. Sorry if you missed the memo.

This week is about passion for the Redskins, not looking at polls and articles and making an "informed" pick about the outcome. This matchup always throws all stats and records out the window when it happens. We beat them when they're proclaimed better and it's happened to us too, remember who the 1-15 Dallas team had their only win against? 19 years later and that one still hurts.

It's Redskins or nothing this week (if you're a real fan).

This is a pathetic post. Did I ever say I didn't hate Dallas? If I don't have belief that we'll beat Dallas no matter what then I'm not a "real fan?" Sigh. And here I thought this website for "knowledgeable" fans. Oh well. I guess a few slip through the cracks.

This thread is about making informed picks about the outcome of our games. I'm pretty darn sure that was Matty's intention when he began these weekly threads week 1. The purpose wasn't for the entire site to pick the Skins regardless of the opponent.

This is a "predict the winner and why" thread. Not a "who do you want to win" thread.

Funny how those of us "traitors" who have a far more developed sense of football reality than you and the other blind homers are in your eyes not "real" fans. I find that ironic and funny.

I don't understand it either. It would be like the Pope showing up for mass wearing a Marilyn Manson shirt.

These "fans" of the Redskins should just go live in a cave with some bears, they're a disgrace.

Let me see if I can get this correct.....I bet you are one of the guys/gals that complain about going to other teams message boards and complain about how the homers won't wake up and smell the coffee even when all the media outlets are picking them to lose...right.

I guess we all could be homers also and say the Skins are going to win but that would lead to a dull web site and you would have no one to argue with. Some of us prefer to use are brain and be a little subjective about each game and analyze how we could win or lose the game.

If your refering to the poll done ...I'm a homer. I picked Skins. I always will. but to analyze the game I'm only being honest with myself as well as the rest of the people on this board. As far as Sandtraps second oppinion of the outcome....I for one don't see it. Unless we lay down like dogs I don't see it. We have the better defense, but we can be beat (look at the Giants game). Our coach (Zorn) is finding ways to get people in the open and put new wrinkles in each game...enough to make Dallas say "I wonder what he will throw at us this week." It's not a fluke that we beat the team with the best Offense last week. All we have to do is make sure our offense keeps the ball and use up most of the clock hopefully causing their D to get tired fast. Our D needs to keep creating more 3 and outs for us.

Lots of points in this one. Cowboys win the game. Redskins cover. The total goes OVER.

Score: Cowboys 34 - Skins 27

So let's change the Poll to "Who will win Redskins or Redskins" or change the question to "Do you want the Redskins to win" I am sure everyone (well except the obvious) would choose yes than.
Predicting a Skins loss is not the end of being a fan, it's just gut-wrenching.
