Redskins/Giants Opening Day Predictions

[Meks]

and the second game?

he ate our pass d up.

and i disagree that our 2ndary recievers are THAT much better than their starters at this point.

sorry.

ZORN, hasnt really shown any progression in play-calling, i still think if he doesnt improve from last year and some pre-season lack-lust.... then i maintain that he sucks at play-calling, like he did last year.

I guess it's an agree to disagree.

I will agree that Eli picked us apart that game, but that is one game out of the last 6.

No way of knowing on the receivers till this weekend, but I absolutely would take our top 5 over their top 5 every time.

I have always thought Zorn has called effective games, but again that's an agree to disagree point, because how do you really prove it. You can call a perfect game, but penalties, dropped passes, fumbles, and other player mistakes can cause the team to lose. The question is whether the called play had a chance to be an effective play, and the only call I ever remember seeing that was a "What is he thinking" moment was the Fred Davis reverse .

Fortunately all the speculating ends in 3 1/2 days! Roll on!

i agree with you here, our starting 5 are better than theirs, and thats not saying a whole lot.

Opinions on playcalling is soooo subjective. I know most of us hate on Cowherd, but I heard him make a good point in regard to this topic recently. He basically said as fans we have no idea what's going on when it comes to playcalling, how complex it is, the situational calls, plays that are setting something up for later on, etc.

I think it's true. It's part of the reason I hate listening to people bang on the playcalling after a game. What we see on TV is really just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to playcalling and it's really a pointless debate.

^ i would take them, no doubt, it just hasnt been proven to me yet thats all... it is a we'll see kinda thing yea....

as for zorn, it almost ALWAYS seemed like the other(good) teams knew when we were running the ball and knew what was coming before the ball was snapped...

Redskins 17 - Giants 12

One of those ugly NFC East games where you wonder WTF they were doing all preseason.

NY Giants CB Terrell Thomas says he will start against Redskins - NJ.com

I'm revising my prediction to:

Redskins 35 - Giants 12

[Redskin Warrior]

if our d-line can rotate and stay fresh i believe we will give there o-linemen hell by the 4th quarter

[souperbad]

I like our chances. Second year in the offensive system, it has to improve if only a little... and we played pretty decent in last years Giants opener (all things considered). Our defense will probably stay about as good as last year.

More importantly, we won't have to worry about our o-line wearing out for at least 5 more games.

I am staring the Giants placekicker on my fantasy teams because I predict the Giants will get a decent number of field goals (3 or 4) and very few touchdowns.

Reporters asked AH if it was more of a challenge going up against someone running the ball as big as Brandon Jacobs. He said, "It doesn't matter to me....what is he ..250? I was 250 in the 10th grade...so...you know." Ha-ha..I love this guy! He said, "They all fall the same way." Let's roll baby!

^ Tell it like it is Malcolm!

[TheMalcolmConnection]

I will do this. And just referencing what skinsfan69 is saying (because I really do respect him) he mentions games being won in the trenches... remember that Haynesworth WILL be in the trenches. He's one of the most dominant DL in recent memory. Just like Burress or TO, tell me he won't make everyone else around him MUCH better and MUCH more competitive with the Giants OL.

[SFREDSKIN]

According to JLC on the NFL network (Ross and Dockery DB's for Giants) might not play due to hammy injuries. I guess that's good news for our WR's.

Dominant I don't know about but he was one if not the best avaiable but none of that was in the NFC East which has the best O lines in the league, still alot of questions about his health and fitness.

If the giants had got him you would'nt be saying that.
