Redskins vs. Bears pre-game/predictions

[Schneed10]

Is Ditka in the stands, or sitting on his ass at home because he couldn't hold an NFL job? On his ass at home, you say?

Da Skins 93
Da Bears -10

[Schneed10]

For a serious prediction, I'll say:

Redskins 20
Bears 10

I see us getting on top in this game in the first half and grinding it out. On the opening offensive drive we come out running right at them. Mainly with Portis, but some Betts mixed in. Ramsey hits Cooley and Patten on key 3rd down conversions to sustain the drive. Drive culminates in a short TD pass to Cooley.

First defensive series sets the tone. Thomas Jones and Cedric Benson go nowhere against us. Orton faces too many 3rd and longs and gets blitzed into oblivion.

From that point on we play ball control and call a conservative game, grinding it out on the ground and letting the D win it for us. Ramsey throws an interception that gets run back for a TD, just so we have a QB controversy continue in DC. Come on, can you really see this town without a QB controversy?

But that's the only TD the Bears put up. They get a field goal... maybe.

I'm apt to change my prediction and agree with you Schneed. It could end up being a real surprise if Chicago's offense actually puts up more than 3 to 6 points against us.

Yeah, I seriously don't think the Bears O will put up more than a field goal or two.

Now Ramsey throwing an INT for a TD, THAT'S another story. I'm trusting him and I think that he'll come out shining.

As long as the Skins dont turn the ball over at all, and give the Bears good feild position, I agree 100%. I really dont see this Chicago offense getting more than maybe one good drive against our D.

My prediction Was 52 Bears 3
Orten get smacked so hard by Taylor you'll see the snot bubbles even on TV. Jones starts off getting nothing and is quickly benched for Benson who ends the day with negative yards. Muhammed gets picked off often and shows he's over the hill.
Portis has another 170 game but adds three TDs. Ramsey throws one and runs one in. Yes you heard it here first, Ramsey with the scramble into the endzone. The defense scores twice and I have a happy Sunday.

Well, here is my prediction: Redskins 28 Bears 16.

The offense will start off hot as they'll score a touchdown on the opening drive. It will be a classic well balanced attack from Gibb's playcalling. Portis will have a big day - he'll rush for 126 yards and a TD, and Betts will have 48 yards rushing and a TD. Patrick Ramsey will have a decent day - he'll go 18-22, 310 yards, one TD to Cooley in the back of the end zone, one INT. The INT will come at the end of the first half. The Bears will be held to 157 total yards of offense, while 10 of their 16 points will come late in the game during clean up time. The defense will score a TD. Sean Taylor will deflect the ball in to Carlos Rogers' hands and Rogers takes it to th' house to end the game.

So the offense will score 21 points, but the defense will have their opportunity to score as well. My wiser prediction is 17-10, Redskins. LOL!!!!

[Luxorreb]

Redskins win!!!
Redskins have the home field and the 2nd season of the second coming of Joe Gibbs. Fans will bring it Sunday and we'll roll.
Redskins 34 Bears 13

I'll be there making some noise!!!

[Redskins8588]

Redskins - 27
Bears - 7

Ramsey will NOT throw an INT. He will have a productive day something like 15-22, 275yds, 2 td's. Portis will run wild due in part to the new adjustments, 23 carries for 185yds 1 td.

[bjschmonsees]

The skins D will have a field day and the offense will perform well. 20-0 Redskins victory!!!!!!!!

Collin Cowherd was on ESPN a few minutes ago with some of 2005 predictions. Among them, the Skins would suck, Ramsey would fail, and Gibbs would retire (siteing health reasons). I really cannot understand why we are getting this kind of press. We seem to be getting it from all sides (except Joe Theisman), and I really haven't heard anyone of the sportscaster variety that says differently. By all appearances, the team should challenge for a wildcard (with or without Ramsey), and possibly the division depending on the Eagles troubles. I find this absurd...................and they can all eat S..t

Gibbs isn't backing down, I don't care what these mediots say, they're flat wrong when predicting Gibbs will walk away.

The good news is we're only a couple days away from our season long journey of proving these dopes dead wrong!

Redskins 24
Bears 7

Cooley scores a touchdown, Portis scores a touchdown, Sean Taylor returns an Int for a TD.

Bears score theirs on a fumble recovery.

[diehardskin2982]

WAS:17 CHI: 10

We are yet to eclipse the 17 mark on a regular basis. Muhammed is a good reciever so I think he will get his a TD. Most likely as a result of a pick. Bears run a cover 2 scheme, if Ramsey isn't ready we will see alot of turnovers.

[redsk1]

WAS 24 CHI 13

Our defense and special teams will put us in good field position all day. A couple rushing td's and 1 pass td. We'll give CHI good field position once, for their only TD.
