I'll be the first here Matty. I think the Giants will pose a little more problem for us defensively as they will try to shove the ball down our throats and run between the tackles. The defense will get a true test to see if they can stop the run. The skins will also need to fix the ST coverage or the G-Men will run one back on us. I think the coaching staff will have them ready, Skins 24 Giants 10.

Well it is a rivalry so I see it being a little better game. But I dont think the Giants have much espcially on Defense. I see another big game for Portis, and Coles will get a lot of action. I think Cooley will continue his good play. Shockey will have another subpar game, and I dont beleive Warner makes it through the game. Score will be 24-13

I really think this is going to be a blowout- have you guys read all the stuff thats been happening over in Coughlin land? That team HATES him and wont lay it on the line for him. Skins 28-3

I could see that also. It is dicey over there, discipline is good but fining guys for showing up two minutes early. I always show up early I thought it showed that i was eager to work and learn.

This should be a relatively easy win for the Skins. Warner is a sitting duck just like BJ was, and the Giants OL is worse than the Bucs. I predict another big day for the defense as Warner will get dumped at least 3 times and will be pressured in to throwing a pick or two.
Barber could give us some problems but he's about all we'll really have to be concerned about. The Giants have some talented pass catchers with Toomer, Hilliard and Shockey, but Warner isn't going to have much time to throw. Portis should have no problem posting another 100 yard day as the Skins roll with the running game and attacking defense to a 23-10 win in the Meadowlands. |

I never consider a divisional game a easy game by any means. Baltimore went to Cleveland this weekend thinking about a relatively easy game and got stomped. Yes the Redskins are better and I beleive they will win and probably do it pretty handled, but by no means should the Giants be taken lightly. Warner will not make the whole game.

I'm thinking laong the lines of 24- 7. We saw what happened at the end of last year when the G- men wanted Fassel out of there. They were not willing to play for him, if this is the case for the G- men and Coughlin now, I really do not see them posing that much of a threat to a 2- 0 record at the end of next week.

-No hand off errors
-taylor's first int/FF of his career -better chemistry between QB/WRs -more portis, this defense is BAD -a better test for our defense (TB w/o pittman isn't exactly the KC gang)... at least this O is legit (though neither QB is ready to lead a team right now) -many sacks, hopefully many stuffed runs... 28-3 (neither NY QB is worth much in the red zone) |

i think our biggest challenges this year are the iggles and vikes, followed by dally-land and lewis/lewis (now THAT could be a 3-0 stinker)...

I agree with those but I dont think the Bucs offense is that bad, and really dont think the Giants O is much better, I dont like Warner and Manning is not ready yet, they have better WR but I still dont see to much from that offense.

I'll go with 17-3. I'll be interested to see how fired up the team plays. Will there be a bit of a letdown-week 2, weak team, no home crowd? Of course it is the Giants so I don't expect much of a letdown

Skins D will come up with at least 3 turnovers, maybe a TD. Portis will have another strong outing, and the passing game will be much better since the Giants secondary is suspect.
Skins win big - 27 - 3 |

I am also a little worried about a let down, hopefully they stay pumped and keep laying on the field you know. I guess my worries stem from the last few coaching regimes were we would get a good solid win and the next week the team look like poopy.
