Redskins vs. Giants pre-game thread

Not sure why some of you think it's going to be a blowout in our favor. This is a division rival that's swept us a few years in a row. Their D-line is still good, and will keep them into the game all by itself. I can definitely see this coming down to a field goal. Don't get me wrong, I'm hoping for us to blow them out, but realistically, probably not going to happen.

Why they are worse than last year: Their D-line is missing Tuck and Usi. They called me and asked if I would play CB for them. There starting middle LB wasn't with the team 2 weeks ago. There offensive line is revamped after cutting O'hara & Seubert.

Why we are better: Do I really need to rehash?

We've improved they are on life support. Yes, its a rivalry, but right now they are hurting. Given the respective changes, it is certainly not unreasonable to think we may just overpower them. It may not be likely, but it certainly is in the realm of possibility. Get to Eli early, stuff the run, get their D-Line moving and Hightower rolling, it could be a lonnnnggg day for the G-men.

Yeah there is somewhat of a Gmen jinx going on, but they are REALLY depleted this time. IF we do lose to them, there is a curse on us with regards to the Giants. Maybe Wellington cursed us just before he died then. I have Hightower, Moss, and Gaffney all on my fantasy team. I am not going to start both Wrs though. I think Burleson is going to have a nice game against the Bucs. I am going to start the Skins D also. I hope they are a nice surprise this season.

Torain is 3rd on the depth chart... I see Helu getting more carries then Torain as he can add that homerun factor
