The Seahawks are much, much better than the Skins and match up with them very well. The Redskins winning would be a bigger surprise than Seahawks over Saints a couple years ago was.

Of course, AGS.

Bonus: The winner will probably beat the Falcons.

Agree, it will be a tough game for the skins.

388 points allowed vs. 245.

They scored 412 points to your 436.

Yes, I think they will beat you.
Hos, that typo reminded me of the Cajun comedian. He was hilarious. I remember listening to his cassettes as a kid, as my Dad was had several of them. My favorite was the one about the football player....i believe it was the state championship game of Louisiana. The starting QB was injured, and maybe the backup....anyway, the coach either put in the 3rd string QB or the punter. He told him to to run it on the first play, run it on the 2nd, run it on the 3rd, and then on the 4th play punt the heck out of the ball. Well on the first 3 downs, they got all the way down to close to the goalline....then on the 4th play, the kid punted the ball out of the stadium.....at least that is how I remember the story, I could be off a bit. Still, it was hilarious. His accent and expressions would have me rolling.

As for points allowed, we play you guys and the Giants twice a season...and the Eagles until recently weren't slouches in terms of putting up points either. What high-octane offenses does Seattle have to stop in their division? Nonetheless, point taken.

I don't know that we will win, but I would be surprised if the game weren't "in our grasp" in the last 2 minutes.

And Miles was miles away. Wasn't your offense putting up major yards and points the last 6 games? No worries. We took care of you and your vaunted offense.

Seattle also has a bunch of NO NAME receivers. Only reason anyone knows them is cause of the scab refs giving them that bogus hail mary at the end of the GB game. MeShaw is the only know quantity. And is going against a top notch run defense. Wilson while having a incredible showing the past several weeks still makes a ton of bad decisions as his interception rate show. Never the less, Seattle as a whole doesn't play nearly as well as they do when they are at home. Those dang stats getting in the way again to your warped view of the game.

Here is the thing I think a lot of people are ignoring:

Seattle is night and day difference on the road. They played a .452 (with two ties) strength of schedule on the road. Over the full course of the season, there were only 3 teams with a softer schedule. And they went 3-5.

Contrast that with Washington at home: Playing 4 playoff teams, going 2-2 in those games, and beating both the Giants and Cowboys, who were on the cusp of the playoffs. Finishing 5-3, winning 5 of the last 6. Yes the Skins crapped the bed against Carolina, but then again, Seattle lost to Arizona, St. Louis, Miami, AND Detroit on the road...

Sorry guys. "Justin" Wilson pretty much did exactly what I thought he would and so did the Hawks Defense.

I hope the kid isn't hurt bad. I hate seeing talent get hurt. Remember you said injuries didn't cost us against you, so don't blame this loss on his being less than 100% for this game. Seattle flat out beat you.
