Redskins/Giants Predictions

[Schneed10]

I don't think we win this game.

I do put some stock in SOME aspects of the preseason. In the last two games we didn't run the ball real well, but I'm not worried about that. CP will take it to them. But we have no ability to throw the ball right now. I think we'll pass protect better than we did against the Panthers, but I don't think it matters. With Thomas and Kelly being worthless, there's nothing to stop the Giants from rolling coverage to Santana Moss. And of course without Thomas and Kelly, the Giants can key on Cooley and Fred Davis in the red zone.

Campbell clearly doesn't have the timing down yet, either.

Our defense will keep us competitive. And I expect Zorn to get conservative and run the living sh** out of Portis, because not much will work through the air.

In the end we keep it pretty close as our defense hangs in there. Portis gets 30+ carries, and goes over 100 yards, but Campbell is ineffective and throws an ill-timed interception. Then Eli beats us with one or two big plays downfield.

Giants 20
Redskins 16

The more I think about it, I don't see us winning this game. Heart says "Skins Win", Brain says "rebuilding year..."

[BigSKINBauer]

FIrst time ever that i am not picking us to win...

Giants 24 Skins 17

If Portis gets his....100+ yards there is no way we lose this game. The defense really hasnt shown much throughout the preseason...so with better play on that side of the ball i think you see us win this one.

I'm hoping zorn is some kind of genius giving opposing teams nothing, but abysmal pass protection and out of sync offense is something that you wouldn't fake. Its not even that the game plan was vanilla, it was lack of execution by the starters. I don't think our guys forgot how to play football, but something is wrong and I don't think its going to be fixed until a couple of weeks in when J Taylor and Landry are 100% and JC finds a rythm with his recievers.

Gints 27

Skins 13

But we will win 9-10 games this year.

stupid giants. if only romo wasnt in this division..then eli would be the dumbest qb

[Sheriff Gonna Getcha]

I think it will take several weeks (3-5) to work out some of the major kinks in our offense. However, the Giants have lost several contributors along the Dline and in the LB corps. I think JC throws for 195 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT and 1 fumble. Portis rushes for 90 yards on 25 carries. The unit puts up 16 points.

I don't have as much faith in our defense as most Redskins fans do. I don't quite trust Blache yet. I think the unit allows Manning to throw for 235 yards and the Giants RB corps to run for 150 yards. The defense allows 24 points.

Final score: G-men 24, Redskins 16

I wouldn't just say they're all traitors. Several have provided solid reasoning why they think the Redskins won't win this game (though I'm sure they all hope to be wrong).

I like to look at the facts. And the fact is the Redskins have never lost a Thursday night season opener on September 4 against a New York team.

Skins 20, Gints 13

I bet Giantone will get a kick out of being on this list. Giantone is a Giants fan after all.

He's a traitor to the Giants. We all know he's a closet Skins fan.

Wouldn't be the first time a Giant "came out of the closet".

Hey, leave Strahan out of this!

[Slingin Sammy 33]

Redskins - 16 Giants - 13

It'll be a FG-fest. I'll be very interested to see how the passing game fares against the Giant secondary, which isn't very good. If the OL protects JC, the score should be much higher for us.

Defensively we should be fine, the Giants O shouldn't scare anyone.

Yes, but he's rooting for the wrong team. He's a traitor to humanity.
