STaylorLayintheWOOD Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 ............ They had the weakest strength of schedule in the league. 32nd rank strength of schedule compared to the redskins 2nd ranked strength of schedule. you do the math. not to mention we already beat them once. whoever says this game will be a blowout on either part is insane.

xsinner Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Most of us mentioned about the schedule strength many times. That's why we like the Skins' chances this Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseySkinsFan1 Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 It's about time someone pointed that out (ESPN's Cold Pizza). Redskins are tied for 2nd, Seahawks 32nd. The Seahawks are good but they are the product of a weaker schedule. It should be close, but I have confidence!

Griff Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Look at Alexander's totals vs. good and bad teams, interesting. I am not saying he is not a beast but it is interesting. Game 1 Jacksonville (winning record) 0 TDs 73 yards Game 2 Atlanta (winning record) 1 TD 144 yards Game 3 Arizona (non winning record) 4 TDs 140 yards Game 4 Washington (winning record) 1 TD 98 yards Game 5 St. Louis (non winning record) 2 TDs 119 yards Game 6 Houston (non winning record) 4 TDs 141 yards Game 7 Dallas (winning record) 0 TDs 61 yards Game 8 Bye week Game 9 Arizona (non winning record) 2 TDs 173 yards Game 10 St. Louis (non winning record) 3 TDs 165 yards Game 11 San Francisco (non winning record) 2 TDs 115 yards Game 12 NY Giants (winning record) 1 TDs 110 yards Game 13 Philadelphia (non winning record) 2 TDs 49 yards Game 14 San Francisco (non winning record) 1 TDs 108 yards Game 15 Tennessee (non winning record) 1 TDs 172 yards Game 16 Indianapolis (winning record) 2 TDs 139 yards, Indy starters played 1/2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSmithTheReal#36 Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Atlanta was 8-8 right?? I wouldn't call that a winning record. :2cents: So against winning record teams he averages 96 yards a game and less than 1 touchdown in those 5 games.(That's excluding ATL) :applause: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsunami001 Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Like I said in another thread: 2 wins against playoff teams. -Indy sat their starters for 3+ quarters. -Needed 3 missed game-winning FGs by the giants to secure win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the game is going to be a blow out. new england patriots has one of the easiest schedules in 2003 when they won the superbowl. the ease of schedule actually helps you stay healthy and fresh for the playoffs and not get beat up, so its an advantage. those stats are meaningless.

BrunellSuperbowl Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 vs giants they needed like 3 missed feild goals vs cowboys 10 points in lead min and half they guys are going to be easier then Tampa, they play nobody when we played them , we dominated 3 quarters, 14 -3 late in the game i think they are the worse 13-3 team in history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brunell has the same stats as Hassleback, vs the giants they scored less then 20, vs cowboys less then 20, vs skins less then 20 this game will be easier then Tampa, i gurantee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtpop Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Let's face it the skins are battle tested the Seahawks are not. I don't know how big a factor that will have but it nonetheless has to be considered. I like our chances because like I said in a previous thread defense wins championships.

Daklu Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Hell, if CP ran against the likes of Rams, Niners, Texans , Cardinals his numbers would be just as impressive as Alexander's.Err... CP did run against the Rams, Niners, and Cardinals.Portis SF - 19 att, 101 yds, 5.3 avg, longest run 15 yds @ STL - 27 att, 136 yds, 5.0 avg, longest run 47 yds @ ARI - 26 att, 105 yds, 4.0 avg, longest run 23 yds Alexander SF - 21 att, 108 yds, 5.1 avg, longest run 16 yds @ STL - 25 att, 119 yds, 4.9 avg, longest run 18 yds @ ARI - 23 att, 173 yds, 7.5 avg, longest run 88 yds I realize I am biased, but I give Alexander the slight edge in those games. But I do agree that based on the stats (I have not seen Portis play much this year) they are comparable runners. -Needed 3 missed game-winning FGs by the giants to secure winBoth of the missed FGs in overtime were short. I don't know about you, but I put a miss short in a different class than a miss wide.Lets just hope they come back for some tasty crow. It's all we can hope for at this point. I have some new recipies worked up for them too. Heh, Seahawks fans have numerous Humble Pie recipies worked out to perfection. You can't be a Hawk fan without having first hand knowledge of heartbreak.Brunell has the same stats as HasslebackNo he doesn't.Brunell 262 cmp, 454 att, 3050 yds, 57.7 cmp%, 6.72 ypa, 23 td, 10 int, 85.9 rat Hasselbeck 294 cmp, 449 att, 3459 yds, 65.5 cmp%, 7.70 ypa, 24 td, 9 int, 98.2 rat whoever says this game will be a blowout on either part is insane.I wholeheartedly agree.

bbuzz1962 Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 I have felt that way about several teams this year. When your in a division where everyone else in it has a losing record, your record is bound to reflect that. You play those teams twice a year. Seattle is a good team. They aren't as good as analyst are predicting. It will be a good game. It is the game that decides who goes to the NFC championship game, so they will show up to play, and we better know that. I think we should and will beat Seattle if they continue to dominate defensively. Our offense must show up this week, and I think they will with all the BS they have taken from the analyst.

But I do agree that based on the stats (I have not seen Portis play much this year) they are comparable runners.. Against SF Portis was out of the game at halftime At St. Louis our 3rd string RB had over a 100 yards on 9 carries Take away Alexanders one long run... and his stats in that game was pretty ordinary. Both of the missed FGs in overtime were short. I don't know about you, but I put a miss short in a different class than a miss wide. No they weren't, and Feeley actually missed 3 in a row, one at regulation and 2 in OT. The Giants had 3 chances to end the game with a W, before Seattle could get a chance. While I am a firm believer in "you have to make the play" to win... 3 times in a row is more in the line of Choking, than come from behind victory.

redskins55 Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 The most interesting fact about the cold pizza schedule stat was not only did The Redskins have the 2nd hardest schedule in the league, but.... of the remaining 8 teams in the playoffs the next hardest was #13 patriots. After that everyone else was in the mid twenties and thrities including #32 seattle, #30 bears, and #29 carolina .. The other 3 finalist in the NFC are all at the bottom of the list and we beat two of these teams once already.. That is a telling stat... Go Skins!!

shawn Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 new england beat good teams that yr, Seattle HAS BEAT NOBODYthere only two wins you can say are good, at home vs dallas, 10 points in 1 min at home vs NY , but couldn't you say the same thing for washington, scoring 14 points in 3 minutes against dallas? didn't the skins get blown out by the giants. none of that matters. the most overrated thing about them is there offense. Brunell has the same stats as Hassleback, vs the giants they scored less then 20, vs cowboys less then 20, vs skins less then 20 this game will be easier then Tampa, i gurantee like I said, none of that matters. the skins scored 35 against tampa the first time around. their offense was very hot for the last 5 weeks, therefore they should have laid 55 points against tampa. but they didn't. its a brand new game. both teams are different than when they played each other. the skins have played a tough schedule, played this week and because of the tough schedule maybe a little too beat up. the seahawks benefited from the easy schedule and are not as beat up. this is going to be a good game. I think the seattle defense is a bit over rated, but they may match up well against the skins. their offense is good no matter how you cut it. they have two great OL men in Jones and Hutchinson. decent WR and TEs and very good RB and good mobile QB. it will be an interesting game. I am sure Gibbs will reach into his bag of tricks and he knows he has to play ball control and score at least 20 to win this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCMONEY Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Alexander is a beast period. I've seen backs play against similar type schedules and not do what he's done so I give him his props. That being said, I really feel like the Skins can win this game. To be honest the only advantage I give the Seahawks is their homefield advantage. I think their favored by 9 because the Skins are banged up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-Dog Night Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Not to defend Seattle, but they can't do anything about their strength of schedule. They play who they play, they took on all comers, and they won 81.25% of the time, including 8-0 at home. They still play NFL football teams, and there is nothing to scoff at going 13-3. I don't think it means a damn thing regarding the quality of the Seahawks, but it probably does mean something to the Redskins though. To win 10 games with the 2nd hardest schedule in the league is significant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
