Giant's fans predicting victory: funny stuff here!

[CRedskinsRule]

If the point of this thread (assuming there is one) is to say "we look good and have a level of confidence that we will beat the Giants" then hey I am with Poly, I think we have the better team, and am looking forward to the win. But if the point, as it seemed to be, was to bash NYG fans for having the audacity to think that their team will beat the Skins, well, history gives them that right.

Time to make some new history. To dream a BETTER dream!

Eh...I just look at it as Poly trying to have a pep rally and getting the 'skins fans excited. No different from hearing Giants fans at work talking trash. If we had the same exact team as a year ago, then yeah, I'd be a bit more pessimistic. But, this is a completely different Redskins team. As far as I'm concerned there is no last year. This is year one.

Hey, careful Skinsguy....lets not start having fun or anything like that!

Giants are a tough team. It will be a close game but I think we pull with a win. People aught to know they have good running game and receivers, d-line and tough as nail. Lets hope Eli is his shitty self.

Vigiants fans should feel confident about beating us like CREDSKINSRULE stated. We have alot to prove, preseason is just that, preseason. I think most Gmen fans would agree the Skins are moving in the right direction, but probably feel we are not there yet, so them calling for an easy win is not outragous by any means. Giants still have a nice collection of talent at skills positions and great coaching which will keep them in most games.

My gut feelings very seldom let me down. Im telling yal right here and now we are fixing donkey stomp their arssess.

edit: wrong thread

I don't think he's being an asshole, it's just an ironic thread, as Lotus pointed out.

No funnier than people predicting double 10+ wins for the Skins.

Take a look at our schedule and how loaded we are. We are DEEP at RB. We are DEEP at WR. Our OL is improved. Our QB is improved. Our DL is improved. Our LB is improved.

We are easily capable of having 10 wins.

We face:
Arizona
Carolina
Buffalo
San Francisco
Miami
Seattle
Minnesota

Win all of these games, split the season series against our division rivals and truck Fat Albert, and we have 11 in the bag.

Loaded is not a word I'd use for the Redskins.

I feel like this thread is having the opposite effect it should be having on me. My hyped-ness is going the wrong way. It's like a battle where one side is being just way overly positive and the other side is determined to bring it down with reality and negativity.

I've got it! From now on I'm just gonna avoid this thread. Unless of course, hijack?

I don't think its anywhere near the same. We split with the eagles last year and swept them 3 years ago. I think we have split with Dallas most years as well. 0-6 is amazingly bad, and it just hasn't made sense. This year I can see us splitting or sweeping both the giants and dallas, but that still to the point of this thread, it is crazy homeristic to think any nfc east fan base is going to fear or respect us until we earn it.

Duly noted, sir! What is being completely lost on YOU, is that this is not a serious thread! Relax and pour yourself a cold one, kick back and don't forget to goof off every once in a while!

I definitely agree with the latter point, and I'm not looking to dwell on our divisional misery, but I stand by the comment about the general long-term domination we've suffered against all three, even if we've fared slightly better against the Eagles and Cowboys in the most recent years (although we're 2-10 overall in the last two years in the division). Since '01, we have a losing record against all three teams, and dating back to '97, the team has lost 20 of its last 28 games against the Cowboys (and four of the last five). While we did sweep the Eagles in '08, as I said, we've lost more than we've won against them in the last decade, and have lost three of the last four, with the last meeting being one of the most lopsided losses in the franchise's history. What I'm sure we can at least agree on is, simply put, the division games have served as salt in the wound of 15+ years of losing.
