dreamshatterer Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 i hope our stadium gets rockin, it better! FedEx Field better be outta control on Sept. 11. Orton will be rattled like no other. I say we kick to him if we win the coin toss. :logo: HTTR!!! :helmet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PleaseBlitz Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Seriously, we shouldnt be overconfident about any opponent. They beat ONE team last year by more than 10 points. Do i think we'll win on 9/11? Yes. Do i feel the need to run the Bears off the field? No. QB may be the most important position on the field, but their are 21 other people on the field on every play.

Walking Deadman Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 This might be a tougher game than you think.....watched Bears vs Bills today. Thomas Jones is a decent RB. Orton will have problems with Williams D. The Bears D however, looked rather sharp. I think we have a better O than Chicago's, but the D's both look pretty solid. May come down to penalties or a turnover....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed to work....the Skins fans that showed at Pitt were pretty loud and proud. BRING ON THE 12th MAN ---Make FedEx a hard place for opponents to play.

Art Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Orton would have to be an EXCEPTIONAL rookie QB to even come close to threatening the Redskins defense in this game. If he is we'll see and be amazed. This is an awfully rare thing to worry about though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinned Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Let's just make sure that we can put up enough points. I have all the confidence in the world in Williams D. I think the opening day atmosphere coupled with all the blitzes this kid will see will be enough to keep the Bears to 10-14 points or less.

Skinned Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 I know how bad Hutchinson sucks, but damn, the guy got dropped from starter to 4th string and out of the rotation. He will probably be cut. Now that is a fall I'm sure he couldn't even imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldog Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 the Redskins offensive line is a lot better than Buffalo's. Chicago won't get the penetration that they did against the Bills in the opener. I don't see the Bears scoring more than 10 points on the Redskins defense. Orton could very well provide the Redskins defense with some points on INTs or fumbles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsGuy Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 I'm not underestimating Orton or the Bears. I'm just saying I like our chances better with a rookie in there as the Bears QB. Coach Williams will throw EVERY confusion tatic he has at this kid to mess him up. It might be a long day for Orton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimReefa Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 i kinda wish we were going up against the eagles first. I friggin' don't. I like what we have for appetiz- I mean, to start the schedule. Give us a cupcake to open up the season and establish some momentum. God knows we'll need it...week 2 is at Dallas on MNF. Anyone want to go 0-2 heading into our ridiculously scheduled bye week? me neither. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budski Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Frankly, I'd rather face Hutchinson. He just plain sucks. But Orton doesn't scare me much, either. You probably will see Hutchinson, by the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DialSux Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 i bet he didn't see too many lb's like lavar in the big 10. i'm sure lavar will introduce himself to the rookie...couple of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky21 Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Just think how few reps the kid has gotten in practice considering how far down the depth chart he was. Plus he hasn't seen one snap against a regular season, game-planned NFL defense. With # 1 pick Benson just signing and Thomas Jones coming back, I think we'll see heavy doses of Chicago's running game in a couple of weeks. Can't wait for the regular season to start.

zoony Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Just from reading the comments on page one, I think it bears (no pun) repeating... The Bears are a professional team. It is not going to be easy. Should we win? Of course. Will we win? I think so... but lets not discount ANYTHING. ANY GIVEN SUNDAY... (I hate to be the gloom and doomer... I'm not trying to be. But you guys are scaring me with you confidence ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Obviously we aren't guaranteed anything, but have we been lucky matchup-wise in season openers or what????? 2002 - Home vs. the Cardinals (Spurrier's O actually looks good) 2003 - Home vs. Pennington-less Jets (also got the Vick-less Falcons in Week 2 I think) 2004 - Home vs. depleted TB team 2005 - Home vs. Bears with rookie QB and RB position in flux Granted we haven't beaten the Bears, but things seem to fall into place for us in early September to give us great shots to start 1-0 every year...

zoony Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Everyone is pretty confident Orton will see constant blitzing. What about the saying, regarding QB's... 'Blitz the good ones, play zone against the bad ones' Agree or disagree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 If we don't kill ourselves with turnovers and stupid penalties, I can hardly see us losing this game. Gibbs' opening-day winning streak is likely to continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiveStrongSkins Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 This game I bet makes our coaching staff more nervous then any other game of the season. Just like the coaches back at college say, "Desperate teams do desperate things." WR reverses, flea flickers, fake punts and fieldgoals, special teams reverses...etc.. I was at the game a few years back when Chicago beat us on the fake field goal pass to Urlacher. Im sure coach Gibbs and Williams are planning very hard for these types of things. I agree with one poster who said we should sit back and make Orton beat us. Throw in an occasional blitz, but I think we can cause alot of turnovers just by having our athletes in coverage. By all means keep Springs on Muhammed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By all means keep Springs on Muhammed. I don't really consider the Bears a desperate team. I know that sounds dumb when they are starting a rookie QB, but I think they are not going to be very dependant on their QB to win games this year. I believe their D is much-improved. If they can run a little, it should be a very close game. Obviously if we're able to stop the run then we can try to tee off on Orton a little bit.
