If you want to make the playoffs I'm thinking it's pretty close to a must win game. I'm not sure what the statistics are but I doubt many 0-3 teams make it to the playoffs...

I actually think Redskins win this one 31-27. I think this is a good defense for RG3 to get back on track

Detroit NEVER wins in DC and our team will be like rabid, desperate dogs. We got this one.

A Lions fan came on here and said the same thing, basically that on paper they should probably win but won't.

I just hope the team comes out and shows some heart.

I like your thinking Rave. And get off to a good start for goodness sakes!!!!!!

If Bush and Fairely are 100% and our OC pulls his head out of his ass:

Lions 38
Redskins 20

If either of them, and especially Bush, is either gimpy or doesn't play and the coaching staff learned nothing from their awful play calling in Arizona:

Redskins 24
Lions 14

I fear the former. And here's this little intangible to make you guys feel better: Detroit has never won a single away game against Washington. As in NEVER EVER. So I don't feel so good about this one.

The Redskins will be fine, btw, once Griffin gets the rust out I think.

...like a small child who wanders into a conversation.

There's nothing wrong with Honolulu. He's been very fair in his assessment of the upcoming game. It's not often fans of other teams wander in and either 1) aren't total homers or 2) aren't trolls.

I value his opinion.

0-2 sure F's with people's minds.

Can't believe Trent is being tossed under the bus.

Unreal.

There's so much panic despite the obvious answer: cut RGIII and bring back Pat White.

Did Patty clear waivers?

[DynamiteRave]

I can't figure out where someone said it, but they think the brace is slowing down RG3 and wanted to see him without it (or something to that effect)...

Unless I've missed others, just one person has thrown Trent under the bus in a rant today. Don't think anyone else disputes he's our franchise LT. Anywho

[MTK]

Trouble with Okung is he can't stay healthy and he's hurt again right now.

I'd take Trent over him regardless.
