Eli is not elite SKINS vs midgets game day thread

[Ruhskins]

Speaking of winning rituals and luck, I haven't been able to fully watch the past two games that the Redskins have won. Against the Eagles, I was flying back from Vegas, and could only watch games through NFL RedZone (the BEST feature about flying Southwest) and the games against the Cowpukes, I couldn't watch the whole thing b/c of Thanksgiving dinner. Tomorrow, I will miss part of the Skins/Giants game b/c of class...so if we win, I probably will continue to miss part of the games or "watch it" through NFL RedZone.

Okay, now I feel like these guys....

I don't feel great coming into this game. Many small reasons.

1) When Andrew Luck has a great game; RG3 loses.
2) I haven't heard much talk from the giants in the past few days. They've been awfully quiet.
3) We are getting a lot of hype right now.
4) Every year theres a sports weekend or 2, where the NFL teams, and college teams that I root for to win, all lose. If the redskins lose tomorrow it'll complete that dreadful Losing weekend.
5) Redskins haven't been good on MNF in a while and they haven't won at home on MNF since 96. Why would we break the streak tomorrow?

This time tomarrow everyone in the east will be saying "HAIL TO THE REDSKINS"

We have a lot of variables not in our favor:

1) We are playing at home (which normally means we don't play good)

2) We normal play like poop on a primetime game.




Here is to hoping be break all the trends. Already broke one this season with a huge win after the bye week(against the Eagles at that).

These two things truly do go away due to the Griffin Factor. Truly I hope this is a revenge for the Monday Night Swinging Gate debacle. That was a low point for me with the Skins, and I hope that tonight erases that as Griffin and the Skins continue to show everyone that they are real.

Griffin isn't affected by the stage, unless it is that he steps up to it and makes it his.

And not to mention breaking the losing streak against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day.

I 100% agree with you but..... the Skins won Thanksgiving Day which is a Prime Time game in front of millions of viewers. Dallas had not lost a Thanksgiving Day game in many of years. The Redskins never won a game on Thanksgiving Day since what 1951 or something?

I feel tides are a turning. The Giants didn't have their best WR on the field the first go around but neither did the Skins (Garcon). Although the Skins have many starters on IR now the team is playing well with what we do have and most of the players that played the first game will be back as opposed to the Giants who might have several players out this go around. With the Skins run game playing well and now Garcon back into the fold with Robinson and Hankerson I think the Giants will have their hands full.

The Skins win this one and there is a 3 way tie for the division....right?

No, WHEN we win this one, we'll be 6-6 with Dallas. New Jersey will still have a slim lead at 7-6.

Not for long.

Their schedule:

Loss to us.
Tough one against the Saints.
Loss on the road in Atlanta
Tough game at Baltimore
Finally a break against the Eagles


The Giants could easily lose 3 of their last 5 games, which will allow us to win the division even if we lose another game.

Our schedule:
WIN vs. Vagiants
Tough game home against Baltimore, could be our one loss
Win in Cleveland
Another blowout in Philly
Clinch at home vs. Cowgirls.

Yes your right. The Giants are 2 games up right now, if we win we are within 1 game tied with Dallas still. If we lose we are 3 games back and 1 game behind Dallas.

I too think the Giants will have a harder end of the season. Ours is not easy because it's mostly division rivals but Dallas can be beat again especially at home and the Eagles were dreadful. I'm worried about the Browns and Ravens but the Ravens are up and down. I'm not as scared about them and have been thinking we might be able to take them now.

I had a dream tonight's in a row that S Moss caught a RG3 beautiful 60 yard pass for the win. Don't even think it comes to that. I think it will be ours throughout the game 34-17 us.

[CRedskinsRule]

Does anyone know the last time we beat 3 NFCE teams in a row? If the Skins pull this one off, it would be a statement win.

The extra days off ought to help everyone on the team heal up, and rest up. I wouldn't be surprised, though, if we came out sluggish and got behind before our offense starts to click.

I hate late games/MNF games. Won't be able to focus on work most all of the day (not that that's anything new...)

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

I put my Redskins car flag up just before the Giants loss, and I took it down after we lost to Carolina. I have not put it back on thinking I may disrupt our winning streak.

HHTR! Keep the flags down and the powder dry. All streaks come to an end. RG3 first Monday night game!!!! Monday night losing streak ends now. I work second shift. I took tonight off, scheduled it in September!!!!
