santana_4_prez Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I usually don't care what experts say about us...but this just makes me LOL! Washington Redskins (5-2) at Detroit Lions (0-6) It makes no sense, picking Dan Orlovsky to win an NFL game. But I've had pretty good luck with the upset recently -- Miami over San Diego, St. Louis over Dallas -- and I've got the Washington-taking-Detroit-lightly feel here, along with the Marinelli-making-life-miserable-for-his-losers feel. Detroit will play very hard get a few bounces, finally. Prediction: Detroit Lions 20, Washington Redskins 17 http://www.fannation.com/peter_king_challenge/peter_king Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titaw Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 It could happen, but I think our Skins learned their lesson when they took the Rams lightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Brown #43 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Wow, that's pretty funny. I hope we win by 40 just to rub his nose in it. Normally I don't give a crap what these so-called experts or insiders say, but this one is just comical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFresh Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 We can't take anyone lightly, it's the NFL. Where it can be a play away from being 6-2 to 5-3. We can't listen to the critics and just support our team and believe they will play their hearts out, week in and week out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinklein Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 As if we needed any more proof that King is a ****ing idiot. Miami over San Diego was pickable because San Diego is struggling and Miami had just come off an impressive performance over the Patriots. Rams over Cowboys was predictable because the Rams had momentum after a win over us and their new head coach, while the Cowboys were reeling after 2 out of 3 games lost and all the drama surrounding their teams. Skins vs Lions isn't relatable to either of those. What an imbecile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsfan1523 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 He also said we can't beat dallas on a neutral field after we beat them in Dallas. huh? It's also funny how he is predicting that the ball will bounce the Lions way, how the hell can you predict that? That's just stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAARedskin Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Ummmm....Earth to Peter.....Earth to Peter. Peter, the Redskins were already UPSET 2 weeks ago by the Rams.......gee, don't ya think the Skins will be a little more ready this time around watching out for that upset bug? Seriously, this is hilarious.....but it's ok....I love all the hate for our Skins because it only motivates our guys when they hear about jerks like Peter King. Thanks, Pete!!!

IbleedBnG83 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Oh come one everybody. He isn't saying this because he thinks the Redskins suck. He is saying this because no one believes the Lions will go 0-16 and he is just looking for an upset to call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooley4President Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Can a sportswriters words be considered bulletin board material? I don't think we make the mistake of taking the Lions too light like we did with the Rams, if we did it then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heidenreich Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Christ everyone around here gets WAY to worked up about every single word said about the Skins. Calm down people. He wanted an upset pick. He even said IT MAKES NO SENSE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkabong82 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Skins already had an upset game with the Rams, I don't think we'll lose because we underestimated the Lions. King is reaching here, but since he was looking to pick an upset, we were really the only ones he could go with this week that would actually be a big upset. Here's this week's match-ups: SD/NO: toss up Oak/Bal: If Oakland wins, it won't be a huge upset Buf/Mia: Bills are playing good, but Miami is a division rival and is a threat. Not a big upset if the Phins win. KC/Jets: Jets should win, but they lost to Oakland, so this wouldn't be a huge upset. AZ/Car: Car is favorite, but not a big upset if AZ wins. TB/Dal: TB likely wins, but Dallas winning wouldn't be a big upset StL/NE: Rams have that spark again. They aren't great, but they do have talent. Pats you don't know who will show up, so this wouldn't be a big upset. Atl/Phi: This game could go either way, it's a toss up Cle/Jac: toss up NYG/Pitt: toss up Sea/SF: toss up Ind/TN: TN is undefeated, but Colts are still the Colts. Not a huge upset if the Colts win. So in looking over this week's match-ups, the Lions beating the Skins, IMO, would be THE biggest upset, and that is all King was going for, as opposed to balanced journalism.

WVUforREDSKINS Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 No way we lose this game. We will own Detroit. Did he really pick the rams over Dallas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 If you erase the loss to the Rams, and you move this game to Fed Ex Field, then I could see our team sleep walking through the game, but after getting beat by the Rams(at home), and having the game come down to the wire at home vs. the Browns, no way the Skins are taking this game lightly.

Boss_Hogg Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Peter King has always hated the Redskins, he always voted against Monk going to the Hall of Fame. I am not suprised by his pick. I don't think the Redskins will take Detroit lightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westcoasthog Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I'm nervous because of how we played against the Rams. Hopefully they won't take a team lightly again...but we will just have to wait and see. Seems we always play to the competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
