The Packers are playing their best football. The Patriots have been over the last month.

Any of those teams would beat the Redskins right now on a neutral field by double digits.

Seattle destroyed Buffalo in Canada and Arizona at home (who may be the biggest joke in the NFL right now). They lost on the road to Miami before that. Granted they are on a roll, and beat SF at home convincingly in what I feel was somewhat of a trap game for SF (coming off the big road win against NE). Not giving them too much credit with a 3-5 road record until they beat someone above .500 away from home.

Right now Atl and GB look for real...but look at what the Giants did to GB earlier in the year. Atl lost to NO and Carolina. Any given Sunday.

If I had to bet, I would bet on the skins to win however, they are under just as much pressure as the boys. Trick plays can lose the game as well as win. Shanahan is quirky but with their run game, he'll stick to the basics and try to take our D down in the trenches with no tricks. The only way they get fancy is if they are way ahead or way behind. They do not have a big home field advantage, in fact I think we have a pretty good away record vs the skins and I actually like playing there instead of our "home".

He needs to come out up tempo, no huddle, attack and dictate. But I know he won't. I have a feeling he's going to get schooled.

I feel the same.

The defense will be able to do enough.

I just worry about our offense being stagnant because of all of the slow developing plays with a bad Oline.

I'd like to see us play with an urgent style from now on.

We could've easily won that game in the second half. And I guarantee you Skins staff/players/fans were genuinely worried that we would.

You're a troll if you think otherwise (or you didn't actually watch the game, even though it's posted on this forum by me).

Don't, I think there's something in the water supply up there.

After detailed analysis, I've determined the team that ends up with the most points at the end of the game will win. As usual, if we get a turnover or two to make up for our defense, and don't give the ball up, we should squeak out a win.

I'm going old school hoping for a repeat of the 1979 game.

If we get the same type of pressure on RGIII as we did against Brees, this one could get ugly quick.

We've only been uglied twice this year. One was agains the Seahawks where that game was still pretty close until the 4th quarter and the Bears game where that seems like ages ago because we haven't been that dysfunctional since. We usually find some way to get back into a game. I seriously doubt this game will be a blowout either way.

You may be on to something, let me think it over.

Neither defense is playing that great... I just hope ours can come up with a INT or a fumble!

That would be nice. It's the turnovers this season have us in the position we're in. We are -10 in turnover ratio, and the skins are +14. The skins are second in the league behind Chicago.

Not looking to bash you, just a few questions....

What would you consider a slow developing play?
We're you thinking of run plays, pass plays or both?

Common sense tells me that slower developing run plays might make more sense with a weaker OL. Pulling and moving offensive lineman to give them advantegous blocking angels.
As opposed to simpler straight ahead scheme that may require better lineman.

Now slower developing pass plays are obviously needed to help less talented WRs to get open and require better OL play.

Either way, I'm sure its what Garrett thinks is best and not ploy to throw the game.

I don't think we can score enough points, the d is that bad right now. I think it gets out of hand fast.

Really? Faling behind 17 and then 13, only to rally for the last second win. I'd drop dead.
