TheBlueIndian Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Well then we might as well not even get off the plane... The only thing that is more predictable than our horrific record in prime time is Tony OH NO's propensity to throw the ball to the other team in pressure situations. If we don't get run out of the building in the first half of this one and can keep it close we might just win. Redskins - 30 Turds -28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop0422 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 For some reason, my dad is convinced we win this game...43-17 he said. I had to play devil's advocate and had to tell him that we havent won on the road in 9 games. I think we sell out to stop the run (and do so), but the boys pass all over us and win convincingly. Hopefully Gruden has a trick up his sleeve and rg3 starts. Not that it means anything, just would be a nice shot in the arm and good television to watch. Hopefully, Im not watching Gotham by halftime. I hope my dad is right on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIKKI8 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Terrell Davis said on NFL network this morning something like " it's not a question of if the Cowboys win, It's more like when do they pull Murray out of the game because it has gotten out of hand". I know the Cowboys appear to be a big favorite in this game but hearing that this morning really p^^^^d me off and I really hope the Redskins can find a way to win this game.

wrecker Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 So far the defense and special teams both have scored goose eggs. That changes tonight. Redskins 31 Girls 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why that upsets you. He's simply an unbiased 3rd party giving his opinion of what's going to take place. I've tried really hard to think of situations where the Redskins could pull this one out and with the news of Colt definitely starting - I simply cannot find one. Even with Griffin, it's not probable. With Colt, it's not possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM72 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Did anyone else notice just how one-sided the MNF promo for this game is? I don't believe I have seen a MNF promo that was this much in favor of one team over the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benskins26 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 This game has all the classic makings of a trap game. But it just isn't happening. We're on our 3rd string QB. Orakpo is overrated, but teams still had to gameplan for him somewhat. Our cowboy killer D.Hall isnt covering Dez. Our D will sell out on the run, leaving Dez wide open against our porous secondary all day, with the occassional over the middle wide open passes to Witten. The more I think about it, the more convinced I am that taking Dallas and the -10 is the lock of the year. We're gonna get trounced.

grhqofb5 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 So, here's an interesting question: What happens if the Redskins win tonight? Remember just 2 years ago, we were sitting at 3-6. Things would still look prettty bleak at 3-5, but with RGIII returning in a couple weeks, could we catch lightning again? Edit: BTW, I think the Cowboys win tonight 45-13. And instead of catching lightning, we catch ebola. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it requires an expert to make claim that the Cowboys are going to whoop the Redskins. We can look back on the small pool of W's the Redskins have collected when they weren't supposed to over the years all we want. The fact of the matter is, this game isn't like those other years. This Cowboys team is balanced and thier strengths just so happened to be lined up against our weaknesses. Bryant/Williams vs. our secondary - D. Hall Witten vs. our weak LB's in coverage O. Line/Murray vs. a front missing Cofield and Orakpo Last but not least... Colt McCoy vs. anyone, ever. The only chance the Skins win this game is if they get some lucky breaks and the Cowboys sleepwalk into the stadium and commit stupid penalties and put the ball on the ground. That COULD happen, but isn't likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone remember how that game turned out? well, the only games against dallas that grossman played in while he was with us were losses (week 15 in 2010 lost 33-30, and 2011 week 3 lost 18-16 and 2011 week 11 lost 27-24). so weren't the "experts" kinda right...? the only way they would have been wrong is if we won any of those 3 games.

That COULD happen, but isn't likely. Exactly how I feel. I mean, Colt COULD light it up I suppose. The Cowboys could sleepwalk. Murray could break his leg, etc etc. But their strengths play against our weaknesses. With good QB play, I think we could actually make this a shootout as I'm still not buying the Cowboys Defense, but I just don't have the faith that our third string QB can get it done, despite the playmakers we have on the outside.

TradeTheBeal! Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I am strangely optimistic. I believe the Boys are overrated and may be looking past us…sort of. I think Colt is far better than the Boys think he is and will have a very good game. i'm gonna reverse my earlier prediction and go... Skins 34 Boys 27 Big games for DJax, Hatcher, AlMo and Colt. Let's do this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HateYanksDukeCowboys Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Redskins win b/c it makes no sense. Plus, it's a ROAD night game. Since we don't win home night games, this one is in the bag for the Skins. Dallas is way overrated, don't forget they were supposed to suck, and we finally have the best QB on our roster starting. As of right now, we know that Cousins ran the offense better than Griffin, and McCoy is Cousins without the myriad mistakes. Skins win, 27-21.
