Boys vs. Redskins Prediction Thread

The Redskins have actually lost more starters to season-ending injuries than the Cowboys (I think). So, yeah, very difficult to predict, but if I had to make a guess I would lean towards:

Redskins: 27
Dallas: 20

This is the NFL, who cares what he did in college football. He's 4-6 in the NFL and he can't win games single handedly in the NFL even against the worst teams in the league. So sick of hearing about how 'great' Robert Griffin is. His team has lost to Carolina and St. Louis this year and 4 out of their last 6 games.

I think we all get it's a team sport. But against this team and this abysmal offense, he could very well be the big reason why the Redskins win...should they win. I'm not rooting for him to do so by any stretch of the imagination. I merely recognize that it is a possibility.

And I'm sorry if you are sick of hearing/reading about how great he is...but he is great and, in my opinion, will likely be considered the best QB in the NFCE before long...if he isn't already.

Wow, a little upset are we. Calm down.

He is close to being the best QB in the division but I can't put him over Romo yet until he reaches the playoffs and win a game

Romo isn't the best QB in the division.

No, I made a simple statement. I didn't go into an all out rant like you did, so again, calm down.

What are you basing the order of these QB's on?

They scored 20 points in the second half alone. I venture it was their most productive half of football all season.

So how did they turn the corner?

Mmm....perhaps they didn't.

The first thank yous that should go out should be to the Browns defense. I sent mine in the game thread. 10 first downs on penalties doesn't hurt when you're mounting a comeback.

I don't want to diminish what Romo and Dez did. I gave them their props in another thread....they both played well....but they had a lot of help. It's okay, though. Nothing wrong with that. It's kind of nice, actually, to be on the receiving end for once, but I'm not sure that comeback happens without the Browns defense imploding with penalties.



As for Thursday....ha....the only prediction I can make with this team is that whatever happens, it will be unnecessarily excruciating and at times difficult to watch, especially early in the game. The team will then wake up sometime in the 3rd quarter. At some point, Romo will scramble to avoid 5 blitzers, light up the scoreboard, and we will all wonder where this offense was in the first half. The game will then end either in much welcomed relief or in epic shocking fashion.

It's what they do.

i think we have to put up atleast 30 to win this one,RG3 i going to have a field day against our defense.

[BRAVEONAWARPATH]

Fwiw, London Fletcher, Logan Paulsen, Josh Wilson, Pierre Garcon and Trent Williams are nursing injuries.

Not sure if they'll be able to go Thursday.
