jayneal7 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I know it's a little early (ok...a LOT early), but as of this week, Washington and Detroit are in the early inside track for the NFC wildcard. On top of just plain needing to wash off the mud from the Giants choke, this game is HUGE for early positioning for WC. The way Detroit likes to duck and chuck, I fully expect the Skins to focus on ground and pound with Portis and Betts. I'm predicting an "old-school" playground fistfight from the Skins and a 24-13 win. :2cents: Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zazzaro703 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Id like the ground and pound with A LOT more Portis and A LOT less Betts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayneal7 Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 Id like the ground and pound with A LOT more Portis and A LOT less Betts. I'll take both...with a little Sellers carrying on 3rd & 4th and 1... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGift Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Let's be real here...The Lions aren't being held to 13 points. This will be a shootout and we better be ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojobo Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 if they look anything like they did against the iggles I'd say run or pass will be fine it will be the defense that will have a challenge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayneal7 Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 why dont we win the division? Very possible we will. All comes down to JC and the O-line as far as I'm concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terpfan Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 The offense will have to show up to beat the Lions. Our D is good but we arent going to shut them down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibarramedia Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Hopefully our defense can get in a few defensive touchdowns. We have to matriculate the ball and go one play at a time, one game at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibarramedia Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Having said that, I was hoping for a 5-0 record at the start for us to be a little comfortable. More breathing room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phishisthegreatstuff Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 were going to need to put up some points. If we don't score atleast 24 points id say were done. I think we should def. be able to with our talent. We just need to be very agressive. Take our shots down field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FanboyOf91 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Hopefully, our coaches are using the Bears loss to motivate the team. Right now, no one should underestimate the Lions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Touchdown Redskins Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 We need to get pressure pressure pressure. If you remember the Greatest Show on Turf v1.0, the Saints had their number because they had a great front four that got pressure on the QB. Now, Jon Kitna isn't Kurt Warner of old, but they do put up points. Unfortunately, I don't think our front four can get pressure on Kitna by themselves, so we'll have to blitz, which means our corners have to play incredible. Our offense will have to score a bunch of points either. If we pull this out we will definitely be going to the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsWizCubsDukes Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 We need to put up like 35 points to make sure we win this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins3000 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 The Bears defense now and the Skins defense now is not even comparable. The Bears just suck. I will say this, the Skins just need to play their game on offense but with a killer instinct and the defense needs to get off the field on third downs this game and I see the Skins with the W.

illone Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 You can't take much from what Detroit did to the Bears. They have mounting injuries. We'll be fine as long as we execute better coming out of the half. Skins win, 24-16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregpeck99 Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Its unrealistic to expect the Skins erratic defense to hold the Lions to less than 24 points unless miracle of miracles they put pressure on Kitna who has been sacked 15 times in the last two games and convert defensive turnovers into points. If the Skins sit bak in Cover 2 and paly the Williams Prevent with only 4 lineman rushing ... Kitna will pick the Skins secondary apart. Campbell then will have to play catch-up and this will make him vulnerable to rookie mistakes. I will be pleasantly shocked if somehow the Skins pull this game out. Lions 27-17.

dswerdlw Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Ball control, ball control, ball control. Eagles win because they don't turn it over to the Lions. Chicago loses because they do turn it over. Minnesota and Oakland both controlled the Lions fairly well...but they also turned the ball over. You can't give Detroit an opportunity. Let's hope the bye week has helped Wade and Fabini (maybe DeMulling?) get it together for the run game. Lions could be up for one of their off games. They don't play so well in the east.
