Redskins vs. Seahawks Pregame Thread

SirLK26 · 10-01-2014, 04:07 PM

Not a lot to talk about right now, so let's look ahead to the Seahawks on Monday night at FedEx Field. Prime-time matchup against the best team in the league... what could possibly go wrong?

I'm stating the obvious, but if we fall behind early, this game is going to be the ultimate in ugly. Alfred and the running game need to get it going early to keep Cousins from trying to do too much. Otherwise we could see another 5 turnover day by Captain Turnover. If JReed finally shows up, he'll be a huge help to Cousins, but he said he was 50-50 yesterday. Hatcher at 100% should help our pass rush out a lot, but it won't be enough to keep Russell Wilson from having a career day if the corners don't step up. Oh, and Rak? If you're looking for a big pay-day, now would be a great time to add to your already impressive sack total.

I don't think we'll totally crap the bed. In fact, I think we'll play fairly well, considering the opponent. Unfortunately that opponent is Seattle, and our best won't be good enough unless they give us some help.

30-20, Seahawks.

It does stink they had a bye but I think the Skins will be more competitive than they were last week.
Seattle 31
Redskins 17

is it time to start having that RG3 vs Russell Wilson conversation again? If it isnt clear now...

Good Kirk shows up, an embarrassed team rallies.

Skins 27
Seachickens 24

Week 5 and I'm already out of optimism. How is the line only 7.5 on this one??

Seahawks 41
Skins 17

I'm almost hoping that the Nationals' game 3 is on at the same time as MNF so that I have a good reason not to watch the Skins. It's a sad state of affairs...

Man no kool aide this year. =(

The worst part about the game is the Redskins are going to play great giving me hope and optimism then kick me in the balls with a shanked punt.

calia · 10-01-2014, 05:27 PM

No Way (and by that, I mean Tress Way). He's our MVP so far. Blocked FG more like.

Seahawks 33
Redskins 20 but one score in garbage time. It won't be close.

SCRedskinsFan · 10-01-2014, 05:31 PM

OK, I'll agree that our chances to beat the Seahawks are slim to none. No Koolaid here either.

But --

This doesn't feel any darker than a 3-6 Redskins team going into the bye week in 2012. I guess my point is that that you're not out of it until you are, that really weird stuff happens in the NFL on a weekly basis, and that's why we're still Redskins fans after all these awful years.

Just don't try to think about any of this rationally. We were never winning the Super Bowl this year. So if we get to figure out that we gained a good coach this year (the jury is still out), and have a decent front office with a real plan (and we don't know yet), we could be miles ahead of the Shanahan disaster. Hope springs eternal, I suppose...

I think we matchup well against Seattle. If we can get a few scores early I think we could win but if its a bozing match. I think Seattle is the tougher team and will win

Giantone · 10-01-2014, 05:40 PM

I think you guys will do better than you think . Skins 27 - Seahawks 24

Giantone, you're a class act, even though this has the feel of the girl who broke your heart saying "You're a great guy, and my friend really likes you." Not that this ever happened to me.
