If I remember right we did win that game. Also GB has a track record of having a decent D so its not a fluke when they play tough D. Lions don't have any track record of having a good D.

This is not about whether we won or lost. Not one of my sentences had "winning the game" as the subject of the sentence. The subject was about the Packers' stats going into that week.

They came into the game with statistical rankings that weren't so hot, but they came and stuffed our running game. This shows that stats can mask certain strengths of the opposing team.

Incidentally, Miami was able to get a few decent runs against them the next week, which further highlights our interior's crappiness.

This also isn't about track records. This is about freaking who is going to win the damn battles on the LOS. If Suh wins more of those battles than he loses, McNabb and friends are going to be in a world of hurt.

Detroit didn't have Suh before. They do now. Don't act like he's not there. Those "track records" are no longer going to be reliable once they add good personnel.

Who won the LOS battle between their D-line and our O-line? Green Bay's DL won against us easily. That in turn led to a shitty rushing average.

Haynesworth will own theirs. I think he's officially back. Had a huge game vs. Chicago.

Maybe it's because of FA but it sure seems like we have had a lot of teacher/mentor vs player matchups.

Reid/Mcnabb
Shanahan, K/ Schaub
Shanahan,M/ Cutler
this week - Schwarz/Haynesworth.


Unfortunately, I think this weeks matchup is the first to clearly favor the other team. In the first three, our asset certainly could provide valuable thoughts about the other team's. This week though, I doubt AH will tell us anything useful about Schwarz's D, while Schwarz will know AH's game inside out.

AH is not that dumb. He'll probably give the lowdown on stunts, gimmicks, playcalling trends, etc. Hell, he may even give out info on the defensive audibles.

I do know that Schwartz emphasizes that the 4 DL must be able to generate pressure by themselves.

I'm not saying AH is dumb, but he is and always has been more worried about his role, and less about gameplanning, schemes etc(or so I believe). While he might have a little useful info, Schwarz will have an abundance of knowledge regarding AH, what motivates/demotivates him, how to get him out of the game mentally, etc.

Man, I am just doing the rounds on 'expert picks' and so on around the major sports news sites and it looks like we are apparently in for a beating by the Detroit Lions, I've seen like 2 guys picks the Redskins to win so far.

If you read the other crap this guys say you will soon realize that most are not experts.

Had to bring it up huh SmootSmack The ESPN ones went up today and I was surprised to see that the vast majority of them picked the Skins.

Skins will win, if not for the fact they all remember(me also) the humiliation of losing last year at Ford Field. Man I got the business coming out of there, wearing my Skins jersey.

Torain will carry the day. I am now cautious with the Lions, but I think we will win. If our D is in a groove, a win is definitely in the making. Skins by 10 points, unless Donovan plays like crap, then by 3.
