skins island connection Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 When: Thursday Night Where: FedEx Field Redskins vs Giants; what more can be said. A divisional game with an equally struggling team [ record-wise ], with the loser securing last place in the division, even though it is still early. The Giants come off a win at home against the Texans, a team we faced in week 1, Eli and co. played a scrappy game against them, but it was against a Texans team which even though beat the Redskins, they were without their star RB and are not really considered a power offense in any respect. The Redskins come off a very hard fought loss against the Eagles, on the road, and some questions were answered, while others were not. Cousins came in and played much better than expected, actually played outstanding, except for a hiccup int late in the 4th, but overall a very solid performance. The problem is with the 'Special Forces' team, which played more like another 'special' group that I feel should not be mentioned. Kai forbath missed a FG, but I can't really hate on the guy, he did make 18 in a row, its just this miss was more crucial. The defense, well, i'm kinda on the 'ehh' side; the front played to stop McCoy and Sproles, but couldn't generate any pressure on Foles. Couple that with a few questionable calls by the refs, and it had all the ingredients for an NFCE game. Hall is lost, and an already suspect secondary will really be tested. Look for another wild game; I'd expect alot of aerial fireworks, not the ones along the stadium rim. Cousins should have another good game, it all falls on ST play and if the defense can find ways to create pressure. In the end, too much offense for the Giants to match, Redskins 37 Giants 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audible_Red40 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Short week, at home, in basically a must win. Injury report will be important to watch. The Giants have not impressed me even with their big win yesterday. Their run game took a turn for the good, but our run "D" looks to be much improved.

DarkLink Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Redskins offense is too much. Defense generates pressure and Eli throws a few interceptions. Redskins 34 Giants 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinC Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Redskins 28 Giants 14. The Giants are not a good football team and we are very very close to being a good football team. We win this at home to go back to .500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cakmoney61 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I don't know. The offense is ranked #2 in the NFL, the defense is ranked #4 in the NFL, and I think they are #2 in time of possession, yet the team is 1-2. Special teams and turnovers killed them in game one and special teams and untimely defensive penalties killed them yesterday. By all rights, they could be, and maybe should be, 3-0. I have a bad feeling about the Redskins in a must-win, should-win game. Over the years, they have failed miserably. There's this culture of losing this team and organization just can't shake. They are still a little too "Keystone Cop" for me. Almost every week it's something ridiculous that prevents them from winning. Giants 30 Redskins 27... ...in another shoulda, woulda, coulda game that will end in utter misery. I hope I'm wrong, but I've seen this movie over and over and over again.

If Hatcher goes, we destroy them Jaguars style. If he doesn't, they put up points but we still win regardless. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsforlife101 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 We played good enough to win in Philly. KC had a huge game. The defense played better in the second half. The Giants are coming off of a huge win at home but had a west cost team coming to the east cost for a 1:00pm start Skins- 31 Giants- 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I honestly think that these Thursday night games are complete and total luck. I think it comes down to whatever team wakes up on Thursday morning with more players feeling like human beings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticksboi05 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 The Redskins should win even with D-Hall out but on Thursday where everyone is sloppy, you never know. The offense will actually put up points now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I like our chances. Cousins comes back to Earth a little bit but the defense carries the day with some turnovers. Skins 27 VaGiants 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsciambi Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 If this was a Sunday, I'd say the Redskins run away with it. These Thursday games have been a mess though. I have a bad feeling it'll turn into a shootout, but I still think the Redskins have a very high chance of winning. Redskins 30 Giants 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinsinparadise Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Big game in my book for the Redskins psyche. If this is the same team we've known for over a decade they will likely lose for the following reasons: 1. its early in the season, technically not a must win and its a divisional game 2. they just came off of a big performance and expectations are high. 3. its on prime time and at home This is the type of game we've lost plenty of in recent years. Hopefully we've overcome the losing culture and win 24-17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skins 27 VaGiants 13 So Cousins was supposed to come back down to Earth against Philly (which is a much better team than the Giants), but according to you NOW he comes back down to Earth. LOL.

TheGreek1973 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 The Giants beat the Texans after Fitz throws 3 INTs, one returned all the way to the 1 yard line. Still Fitz was able to throw for almost 300 yards and a TD...Personally I feel Cousins will do better than that. I hope DJ is ok by this game, in the past he has murdered them. Our pass rush must get to Eli. Redskins 28 Giants 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Philly barely survived us in their own house and got really beat up in the process (just look at some of the hits Foles and McCoy took throughout the game). We absolutely need this game to stay in this division race, and you could tell the sense of urgency from the last two games. 34-17 Redskins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MustangSteve Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Special teams ****s the bed again, hopefully our offense can put enough points up for it not to overcome us again. Redskins 31 Giants 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skins island connection Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 I'll be curious as to how Haslett game plans with the loss of Hall. This will be a test for him, all good DCs can make adjustments/next player up mentality to help alleviate any loss of a player. If he can't, i'd prob guess this will be a 40+ game on both sides. Just gotta have a higher number after the 4 than the Giants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
