Why do you get that feeling? Do you have feeling about the power ball winning numbers cause if you do let me know.

Griffin, Morris and Forbath - three guys under 25 who will throwing the Giants down, running over them and then kicking their butts for about a decade or so.

This one is going to be another close game that is decided in the 4th quarter and a turnover. Hoping it is not us.

Skins 31
Gmen 28

The one thing I hate about Monday night football...1 more extra day of waiting. We haven't fared well on MNF the past few years. Last year we lost to Dallas, year before that was the mike Vick beatdown, year before that was giants with Zorn doing the same stupid play twice in a row.

When the giants want to play, they're next to unbeatable. Justin tuck has already said in a conference call that the giants are going into this game as if its a playoff clincher...not good for us. And it's not that I don't think rg3 will do good this game, it's that I don't see our defense stopping Eli, nicks, Cruz, Bradshaw, and Bennett.

It'll be tough and turnovers will be huge this game, more so than other games. Also this game will show us if we re good or if we're a fluke for beating two bad teams.

To play devil's advocate, the defense is playing better now. They're swarming to the ball and playing with higher energy, and I think Haslett is doing (marginally?) better with adjustments. The biggest things I notice are hustle and toughness though, and gotta give Hall credit for being a leader here with 3rd most tackles on the team.

And, one thing I was wrong about is the offense misses Garcon, though not nearly as much as a healthy Fred Davis. Garcon evidently didn't suffer a setback on Thanksgiving either, so he's "due" for another good game.

Plus the crowd should be at it's best, right? MNF against the hated Giants and everybody knows were competing for a playoff spot?

The optomistic side of me says and hopes your right; the pessimistic side in me says it was the Eagles and Cowboys(--and the Cowboys came back too with a couple huge plays) two teams which are really bad right now.

We shall see come Monday Night. I'm stoked, hopefully its the same out as Thanksgiving and not the sunday before election day...

I just hope we come out swinging. That tells me what I need to know about this regime. Coming out flat, like we did against Pittsburgh and Carolina, is unacceptable at this point.

I agree but I really don't see us coming out flat. They owe us one and there's alot at stake. Plus RG3 seems to love big games and I'm expecting our offense to be even harder to stop this go around. To CRedskinsRule's point RG3 rarely if ever makes the same mistake twice because he's very intelligent and I can't wait to see him play them a second time. And Garcon's back. As far as the defense it's usually a crapshoot. But I hope Haslett and the D are looking for a little redemption and as you say...come out swinging.

I hate that little dancer!

NFC East Blog - ESPN

Bulletin board material:

"They're still a couple pieces away from actually being a contender, them being in legitimate talks for playoffs and things like that," Cruz said today on a conference call. "They're still a few pieces away whether it be defensively or wherever they are missing some pieces. But I think they've definitely -- they've got to be in the conversation. They've got a good team, they play good football, they hold the ball for a long time, and they really do some good things. So I definitely put them in that conversation, for sure."

I agree with Cruz. We are a few pieces away.

Good teams don't need quotes and material to make them play well. I would hope we dont a stupid quote to motivate us.

I never really got the whole bulletin board material bit. It comes down to talent, execution and a bit of fortune.

I agree with him too, but if you're on the opposing team keep your mouth shut the week of the game against the same guys you are talking about. We don't need the G-Ladies playing general manager for us or sharing their opinions.

I am just tired of Cruz, probably wouldn't have bothered me so much if some other guy said it. Please keep that guy out of the endzone Monday night.

Giants are the better team but we are on fire right now and I really believe this team has the fight to make a real playoff push. Skins win in a great game On MNF.

30-24 skins

Griffin has 300 yards 2 tds 1 int.
65 rush yards 1 TD

Manning has 280 yards 3 tds 2 ints

We beat down an Eagles team that everyone is beating, and a Dallas team that doesn't know who they are anymore (and almost let them back in it). On fire might be a stretch, but I do think we are playing better of late. Is it good enough to knock off the Giants on a national stage? We shall see. The offense will get theirs, providing RGIII stays upright the majority of the time. My only hope is that the defense can get some pressure on Eli, because if they do not, it is going to be a long night.
