What do you expect in our Week 5, Skins vs. Panthers matchup

[JLee9718]

The team has had its "legs" chopped out from under it due to moves by Cerrato (hiring another "set of eyes"), Snyder (giving a ton of money to Haynesworth, thus creating dissension among the other D-Linemen), and Portis (griping about his blockers, namely Mike Sellers, with Portis always appearing to say it's not his fault). I will be surprised if there is nothing more than a very disorganized, poorly managed Redskins team that takes the field on Sunday. I expect a loss.

What are you talking about? Montgomery being upset he's not starting?

It is kind of crazy that at 2-2, the Skins have looked frazzled this week and made some curious moves, while Carolina is at 0-3 and seems relaxed and confident from what I have read (Maybe a sense of urgency, but not panic?).

Unfortunately, despite the better record, I think the Skins will struggle and lose this game. I'll say 20-13

We will be down 17-0 at halftime,then in the 3rd quarter we score 13 points to close the gap 17-13. Then in the 4th the Panthers add a TD to win the game 24-13.

This sounds plausible. Could definitely see that happening.

Anything is possible, so is the underdogs with a the better record winning the game. Has everyone gave up on this team. The third qtr. last week just shows what type of team is about to show up this week and the year for that matter and quit all the naysayers.

Last week was a combo of things. If the Redskins played every game like the second half of the Bucs game, we would end the season pretty damn well. Unfortunately, after the bye week we actually have to play good teams (Okay.. Except the Cowboys) if we can hardly flex our muscles against bad teams, teams like ATL and God knows the Saints are gonna bend us over. I also chalk last week's win up to the Bucs missing 2 key field goals and coming out of halftime sucking, because if they had made both of those FGs, even with the second half rally we had and the TD, we still would've lost.

I agree with you on the game last week. To me the team is Bi-Polar we are either moving the ball or loosing the ball. Now JC had his worst game of his career turnover wise last week and we still won. Now ATL AND the Saints I know the team we were all expecting to be here right now will show up. I sit here and watch the games we've played and i see this team bursting at the seams to be the team we want. Those red zone plays have really killed us, but progress is being made in my eyes, and yes i have had them checked and cleared 20/20 here. Our D is coming together our offense is still in search to find them selves I see us running the ball a hell of alot tomorrow. I feel good about the team even with all the stuff thats gone on this week Trust me you'll see.

I was going to start a new thread with this,but i'll just post it here
According to this article,we have the 3rd toughest schedule remaining,with carolina being first.Lucky for them they play us tommorrow which helps their odds,because i cant see us winning.If we finish over 500 I'll be surprised

What do I expect in Week 5 vs the Panthers: Well after watching the last 4 games I see the offense struggling to run the ball and score points. I see our defense getting gashed by DeAngelo Williams which will set up the play action for Jake Delhomme to Steve Smith. Our offense starts out slow and we thus fall behind and our defense can not be as effective. I would love to see our defense play with a lead more often but it doesn't happen due to our lack of production from the offense. Our special teams never scores on returns or block punts. However we did score on a fake FG. This week will tell if our Redskins truly have a heart because no football experts think they can beat the Panthers. Only the Redskins players can change the National perception of them, which most people think they are awful. As being a long time fan for over 30years I just can't seem to quit on them. I just hope the players and coaches don't quit and come out fighting every Sunday as though it was their last. HTTR ( Skins4Ever)

i expect to see the pitchforks, torches, and lynch mob marching down my street at days end calling for zornys head...oh yeah and a bunch of drunk fantasy coaches stumbling out of the bar next to my house who blame it all on cerrato

Skinny, maybe I will go back and get some of the absurd Hater posts and collect them. Like someone said the Panthers would run all over us. They didn't. Both offenses struggled. But the reality is what it is, we lost, and looked bad doing it. They won and looked pretty bad doing that. There are extremes on both sides of the hater/kool-aid divide, and I am generally on the kool-aid extreme. Let me ask you though: why put one fans nose in it when we all simply want the Skins to be back to a successful team?

Because he made me believe that we were going to win and he told me to Trust him.

I gave him the benefit of the doubt even though I knew full well that we don't have the facilities to do so. I took this guys blind hope over common sense and look what happens.

I just hope that doesn't happen to other Skins fans. Also I'd like people to be accountable for what they predict and not just swinging hope to the masses when it's obvious there was none.

Dude, its a prediction, and there's a reason most of us AREN'T picking on ESPN or something; we are biased. Being fans, we can see the talent and the hope and can see us winning. I predicted a win.

Just a guess, PREDICTION.......

I'm just letting all these fans know...take your Skins glasses off if you want to be taken seriously or make it seem like you know anything about football.

I'm tired of all these people operating off of their blind hope and we need fans to start thinking more judiciously when it comes to this team.

If there is one thing that this team needs right now it is a knowledgeable fan who can let Skins managment know that the product on the field is not compentent, nor is the managment structure.
