TheKurp Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 as Dallas does of beating Philadelphia at home. Or Kansas City does of beating New England at home (take a half point). Or Buffalo beating Denver at home (take a half point.) This, according to Danny Sheridan who has the Skins at 8.5 point underdogs to the 9ers. Actually, if I were a betting man I'd take Buffalo and the points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 First of all, I think Buffalo ain't all that bad. I'd take them and the points too. Secondly, we deserve no better until we earn it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRMADD Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 Yeah, and what were the odds on the Texans beating the Cows? A little heart makes up for a lot of point spread. The Forty-Whiners are hardly invincible. Yeah, they won 12 games last year, but they've got some chemistry problems and do have a tendency to overlook weaker opponents -- and they clearly consider the Skins weaker opponents. If the Skins wake up... and that's a big if. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 The worry I have in this game is that San Francisco, like Philly, is largely a short passing based offense. We should KILL those offenses. Against Philly, we dropped far too deep far too often. Against San Francisco, we'll get crushed if we do the same. The blueprint for beating San Francisco is there. Just like it is for beating Pittsburgh. Now, if Marvin runs a zone where his backers are 10-15 yards deep, we're going to get crushed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redman Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 SF will have the best offense that we'll face in the first 3 weeks - actually more than that but I don't have the schedule in front of me. Until we show that we can at least stop the big play, something that we're 0 for 2 on so far, we deserve to have that little respect. I'm curious to see how well we do passing against SF's porous pass defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyDave Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 Someone by then will brow beat Marv to get out of the zone crap and let the corners play man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rat_Boy Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news/fanball/20020918/fanball-nfcnotesninernightma.html According to that tard at Fanball, teams are beating the 49ers by playing 2 deep zone. SO I guess Marvin will change that up NEXT week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codeorama Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 SanFran should kill our defense, but sometimes, miracles do happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsThug Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 Any team can beat any other with a little luck, some good plays on 3rd and 10, and a turnover or two. We're not out of it, but we'll have to play good, mistake free football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantom Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 The reason that the Skins are an 8-1/2 point dog is becasue they have as much as a chance as the Chiefs, Bills or Cowboys do of winning on Sunday.:yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awgustlab Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 Well, the Giants were 12 point dogs to the Rams last Sunday, so............whatever. I don't even look at spreads anymore. Total BS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinnedGator Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 I think we'll match up better this week. I'd love to see that look on Mooch's face again this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeSkin Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 Owens will eat our secondary for breakfast. We were saying that the Iggles have no Boston. Well, our secondary made Thrash look like frickin' Jerry Rice. Owens is better than BOTH Boston and Thrash. I hope I'm wrong, but I wouldn't be surprised if he had 10 catches and 2 TDs, at least. Hearst and Barlow are better than Levens and Staley any day of the week. I would be thrilled if we won, but our defense will get shredded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom [Giants fan] Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 OrangeSkin, The 49er's have not looked too good on offense the first two weeks. If Marvin Lewis looks at game film of what the Giants and Broncos did to the 49er's, I am sure he can come up with a plan to slow down the 49er offense. I'm just not too sure how much Lewis game plans and adjusts things to work against what he is playing against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 Well I will tell you what. Thank goodness this game is in week 3, and the 49ers are STRUGGLING right now. They can't seem to do anything right on offense, and their defense is decent. I will be there so I hope my Redskins pride puts a jinx on Garcia/Owens....

skinsanity56 Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 i'm glad the 49ers have problems too.i'll be @ the game to,so hopefully we get our problems figured out before they do.at least there D is average.HTTR....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdsknfan4life Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 Here's what scares me against the 9ers, I think they still have a chip on there shoulders after what we did in Japan. It seems that we are having a hardtime adjusting to the new defense. With us facing the 9ers this week comes new schemes that are going to put in. Jeff Garcia is a mobile quarterback like McNabb, if we could'nt contain McNabb how are we going to contain Garcia? The Niners have a much better recieveing core then Philly. As much as I want to win this week I think it is going to be a tough match up especially being ememy territory. We need to get a pass rush that can contain from the outside, if we can do that and the LB's can jam the middle i think we can pull it out. If we don't do this I don't think we can pull it out. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fed_ex_this Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 where has the confidence gone on this page? c'mon guys, last week i was reading that you were going to jack up the birds. i think there is a much better chance you jack up the 49ers. gardner will have a much better game against their secondary. rumph? please.......

Mad Mike Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 I've got a little $5 bet going with a rams fan co worker that we slap one on the Niners. My theory is simple and it goes like this... Sh!t rolls downhill. The Titans smacked the Eagles in the face, the Eagles took it out on us. Now it's our turn to take it out on the Niners. Redskins by a bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 as much hell freezes over? WE have to play a flawless game. Given the short week, Shane being brittle adn that revenge factor- I think it's not going to be pretty Sunday. Hell, I haven't mentioned Marvin's defense.

phantom Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 Mike, nice comeback. Like I said BEFORE last week's blowout, the Skins are coming off a MONDAY NIGHT emotional contest with a division rival and have to fly across the country to play a good football team on a short week. That is a recipe for a loss 75% of the time to begin with. Then you add to the fact that Mariucci has been preparing for this game for over a month and this is why the oddsmakers have it at 8-1/2. :deal: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inmate running the asylum Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 How come this Midgets fan has his name in lights and I dont? I think there is a conspiracy here and the aliens have taken over our board. And that OrangePeel guy has his name in orange lights too. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
