It's wait and see, but more than likely out.

I think this game will be close, but we'll pull away in the fourth and win by either 4 or 9 points. I feel like later in the year we'll play them when they are at their healthiest and the most players back, but they'll lose to us by a lot for that second game when they'll be most expected to beat us.

Also, off topic, but this Burfict kid from ASU, looks like the next Ray Lewis.

Cult, that's the way it usually goes. Football is very unpredictable. Good call.

Well my thoughts on this weekends vs the Giants are as flollow:
I think we have a 60/50 chance to get a victory if we do the these things.
1. Rush the football and gain 100 or more yards
2.Hold the Giants under 100 yards rushing.
3. When the turnover battle.
4.Score a TD on special teams ( Punt Return, KR, or Block Punt TD)
5.When the time of possession.
6. Most important keep the Giants from sacking Rex.
7.Come out in New Uniforms. New season new attitude
If we can do these things we should win the game.
My prediction Redskins 27 - Giants 16
Hail to Redskins Nation and God Bless America

Do we really HAVE to score on 'teams'....and are you saying that we can't give up a sack at all? Sounds like pretty strict criteria to overcome.

How about we win because they are decimated by injuries on D and have looked out of sync offensively?

Confucius is that you? All your points are helpful to win every game. But you first 2 are most important (outside your odds): Run the ball and stop the run. This is especially huge this year. Run the ball to take it outta Rex's hands to avoid stupid mistakes and control the line of scrimage. And stop the run to again control the line of scrimage and shut down apart of opponent game which we should be able to do alot easier than our secondary handling the pass. We must do both in order to win this season.

Where do I place my bets at?

[polywog]

LOL! I can't believe I didn't notice that!

I love it!

One thing about football.....footballs have a very odd shape - they were never meant to be thrown through the air. Causes them to bounce funny, pop out at the wrong time and completely change games - just by virtue of their cumbersome form.

Anything can happen. Any one of us can be right.

Both teams have key players injured so I dont think this will be an all-time classic. The skins are at home and that will be the difference. The Skins will barely slip by the Giants in an ugly game.

60/50?
......OH HELL YAH....I'm in!

[skinsfaninok]

What new uniforms?
