skins island connection Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 We will win. Maybe not convincingly but we will win. RG3 has a good game, not vintage but good. Defense continues to look shaky. Defense looks shaky? That's like calling the Goodyear blimp a party balloon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bga76 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I don't see how we win unless the defense figures out how to stop Megatron. Based on the past two games the only way they can do that is by getting the CIA to call in a drone strike. Lions 38 Redskins 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Defense looks shaky? That's like calling the Goodyear blimp a party balloon... I'm not going out on any limbs here, just stating what I've seen and what will likely continue. My boldest prediction is probably that we will win. Here's another bold prediction. No block in the back calls against us this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchellvii Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 My prediction is that the refs will ignore blatant fouls by Detroit taking place right in front of them while flagging us for every ticky tack thing they see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoodBits Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Tell ya what; i'll bet you a Redskins cap there are 2 block in the back flags... Hope they're at least legit this time. Both games have had calls that looked like the block was more on the side/shoulder. On this topic, I think Griffin continues to improve and the defense continues to struggle. Calvin Johnson will have 100+ yards and two TDs, while Reggie Bush will cause us fits on check downs. In the end, Redskins emerge victorious simply because the Lions can't win in DC.

sjinhan Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Haslett returns to "everything but the kitchen sink" defense that he used last year.. Just more press coverage, all out blitzes... and returns to defensive glory of second half of the season... Shanahan admits that our OL really really do suck... asks more out of RG3 to make up for the struggling line like last year... Return of the zone option in Week 3.

TheGreek1973 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 has anyone factored in we may not have Cobra Kai either? If he is out I just don't see us winning this. The D has to do an about face that all of us are going to say who are these guys in order for us to have a chance. And that is the honest truth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephenDavis Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Everyone. Stop. Just stop. Without a 100% RGIII we are a NFL bottom feeder team. He's not going to get back to 100% this season. We might win 5 games if we are LUCKY this season. The Raider fans can't wait to play us. Could Alabama beat us??? Lions roll 49-13. I love my skins but when we're bad we're bad. Teams don't start 0-2 like we have and all of a sudden beat a team like the Lions. Hail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hail No one has any faith in Cousins; its all about RGIII and him playing until he works out the mantal crap. I say if he stinks it up this week, and doesn't show improvement, pull him, call a hypnotherapist, put in Cousins, and see how things go. It can't get any worse. For the most part, its RGIII's ego and Mike's ego that is the biggest battle in this whole horse turd of a season thus far. Maybe sitting RGIII out for a game will get him more mentally motivated to play better, but putting him out there with the same results week after week, while the chances of doing anything slowly drift away, does nothing but tank the season. He should man up and either **** or get off the pot. We see it all the time; a starting QB goes out for whatever reason; the back-up comes in, a la Cousins last year, and does good, if not great. Its a shot of adrenalin to the team, gameplan changes, and opponents are not prepared for the typical gameplan set for the other QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redskins Ruckus Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Lions 38 Redskins 24 Our team isn't that great. They're not playing well together, and frustration and confusion is starting to build. I will support this team no matter what, and will enjoy my Sundays, but the Redskins won't pull anything together before the bye week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to be negative Nancy, but our team is just so bad from top to bottom. That being the case we might as well leave RGIII as the starter so he can get his confidence back, and then try to right the ship again and go from worst to first in 2014. Putting Cousins in is just going to take reps away from RGIII which he needs. And Cousins is not going to fair any better with the o-line issues and a defense that couldn't stop Johnny Manziel. I know it's a hard pill to swallow, but I forced myself to swallow it after the Green Bay game. I was excited too. Our head coach came out and said it's Super Bowl or bust. Trust me once you go ahead and acknowledge the fact we're not going to make the playoffs you feel much better and can look at this situation with a clear mind. I hope I am wrong, but deep down I know I'm right. HTTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to go through growing pains with a young QB. Pulling him from the game because THE offense has two subpar games seems little too dramatic. Especially after the kid is coming back from being named Rookie of the Year but obviously rehab filled offseason. Lets make it clear. We are not losing these games because of RG3. The whole team is at fault. I think people need to stop judging RG3's performance on an expectation that he is going to win these type of game single handedly despite rest of the team not playing well... Who know maybe we could have expected that if RG3 was not coming back from an injury (still unfair) but RG3 is coming back from injury so deal with it!

Hi Nancy, i'm Pessimistic Peggy ! Its nothing got to do with ego. We need to go through growing pains with a young QB.

Yes, it IS ALL of the team AND coaching staff who are bungling this up. Coaches should be knowledgable of issues like this that come up and how to correct them. Yes, RGIII either needs to show improvement or sit a game and mentally adjust his frame of mind, and yes, Haslett is doing absolutely nothing for the defense, and yes the players on all sides of the ball need to have a players-only meeting and take it upon themselves to correct this. There's no excuse for any of this to happen, but it seems that everyone is standing around waiting for someone else to take charge of the situation; thus far no one is doing this...

MarkRascadizzle Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 34-31 skins victory. It won't be pretty and they may look better, but I think we inch this one out. Also, this will be Suh's final game this season, if not the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebluefood Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 This is either going to be a track meet or a blow out in the Lions' favor. I don't see our defense stopping my grandmother, much less Megatron and if "Good Matthew Stafford" shows up, we're all in trouble. Hopefully, though, our offense will play the same way in the first half as they've been playing in the second and we end up with a close W, 38-34.

Mr. Sinister Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 The Lions may or may not still be the same old Lions, but they have a handful of dynamic players, that on any play, can either hurt you on the scoreboard, or hurt you by knocking you into another dimension. I think the O needs to take the ball first. Enough with the deferring. Go out and strike early. No more halftime beatdowns. Ultimately, I still think the Skins lose a close game ( I simply do no trust the defense, or the defensive coordinator, at all).

planter Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Should be close but since it's a MUST WIN I'll take the Skins at home. Two things to watch: Megatron rolling through our overmatched secondary and the Lions powerful D-line mauling our O line - 'cept Trent of course.

grhqofb5 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Improvement from last couple games: Lions 45, Redskins 20 (we score all our points in the first half and keep it close before the D does its thing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
