The Skins can certainly beat the Falcons. However, if the Falcons ever start hanging onto footballs it'll be trouble for the Skins.

How are the Falcons against the run?

for what ever reason the skins always struggle against mobile QBs. Go back as far as Randall Cunningham when he use to give us fits twice a year. McNabb killed us for a few years. I think if we can control Atlantas running game we should be able to win the game. I would play mostly cover 1 to help the front 7 until they abandon the run. Our corners should be able to handle their recievers, plus Vick isn't all that accurate anyway if one does get open. If we play Redskin football and punch them in the mouth like we did Carolina, they will fold. They have no will to win right now. if we can get on the early they will give up!!

Swarm vicks ass and were fine...Our offense will pwn the falcons defense!

#53 is gonna straight kill vick...its gonna be a long day

Of course they will win.... the Skins are 1-0 when I have seen them in person, and I will be there with 90,000+ plus cheering the boys on... So my personal record will go to 2-0...

Atlanta really isn't as sporadic a team as people think they are. They don't really play with peaks and valleys. You get the same thing from them each week. They are a very, very mediocre ball club. Whether they win or lose is all about how their opponent plays them. If they get you out of your game and you try to chase Vick all over the field, he's gonna beat you. That defense is oppertunistic and if you are playing from behind, they don't let you back in often.

If we play our game, we will win. The defense has to do what works for it, and not worry about the threat that #7 poses. Cover the recievers, penetrate the offensive backfield, blitz early and often. Sure, Vick's going to frusterate you now and then, but stay in the gameplan and over the course of 60 mins, you will have more points than Atlanta.

So...yeah it's possible.

Also, according to DVOA, the only team we've played this year worse than Atlanta is Tampa Bay...and that one was on the road.

As a runner, Vick is more dangerous when he drops back than he is on designed runs. So with a pass D as poor as ours, I don't think it's as simple as shutting Dunn down.

I would expect a steady diet of Falcon28 though. He hasn't been much of a factor during their losing streak, so I would expect him to get a lot more involved as they try to snap out of it.

We will win this game, and I'll tell you how.

Ready?

I have a secret weapon. I've used it the past two home games, and we've won games we definitely shouldn't have won.

While at the game - before, during, and after - I'm not going to drink anything alcoholic.

It's drastic, I know. Before the Dallas miracle, I had come off two hard nights of drinking, and just didn't feel like beating my own ass. Miracle win. Last week, I actually forgot my wallet, so no cocktails. Upset victory.

What I'd like for you all to do is consider that if you keep doing what you're doing, you're going to keep getting what you get. I got schnockered at tailgates, and we were losing. I stopped, and things changed.

PS - if we lose, they're going to have to pour me out of that stadium.

Ya know...I don't think that a Skins win is worth not drinking during a football game...

I think that the Redskins have a very good shot at winning this game on sunday. Not only do we have to worry about Vick's running, but I think that the D also has to take Vick's only target out of the game and of course I am talking about Crumpler. Vick almost always looks for him when he is in trouble, and right before he takes off. If we can cover Crumpler and I am pretty confident that our CB's are better then their WR's. So as long as we let Vick do the running between the 20's only then it should be a good day for us....
