I wanted to share my prediction regarding the Patriots/ Skins matchup.

Washington 29 Patriots 20.

Here's why.

- When Dallas was behind 14-0 in the first quarter vs the Pats, I thought "I wish we had better safetys".
You guys have better safetys.

- When Dallas went ahead in the third quarter and had been knocking Brady around for 2.5 quarters forcing Brady into a three step drop, I thought "I wish we had better safetys so Welker could stop looking like the second coming of Jerry Rice and Mark Bavaro"
You guys have better safetys.

- When Marion Barber kept running over Patriots I said " I wish we had better safetys so we wouldn't be so behind that we have to pass so much".
You Guys have better safetys.

If JC can just play within his ability and not fall for the many exotic defensive sets that Belichek will throw at him, then your tight ends and Running backs - and you have four top level players in those positions - will run all over the Patriots old Linebackers.

The Skins have the coverage ability that Dallas didn't - with one starting CB out and Roy Williams playing cover safety - so let's stop drinking the 'Best Ever' Kool-Aid. The NFC East is for real and I wouldn't be surprised if the Pats go 2-2 in our division.

I'll be watching and Rooting for the Redskins.

Dude... you just brought a tear to my eye. Seriously, that is a great analysis. I have to agree, we are in a very tough division, and the Cowboys did hand the Pats their asses. It did come down to the last few minutes. That is where we could loose the game... time management. We have faltered so many times this season. Joe needs to call the right plays in the end, and not give the Pats a chance under the 2 minutes.

That said.
Redskins 16
Pats 13

I see a blocked PAT (pun intended), and Tom Brady getting taken down in the endzone today.
