WesB Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Us - 27 Dirtybirds - 21 Our DL can smoke there OL. Apply plenty of pressure to Matty Ice and force quick throws. We'll need to get a pick or two to take over the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolblue13 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Barry found his blitz last week. This defense is about to take it up a notch. If the offense can finish drives with 7, instead of 3, we should be able to compete in the 4rth after our 3rd quarter meltdown we do every game. Falcons aren't going undefeated. Our linebackers know Kyle's offense. This DLine isn't on par with the last 4 we've played, so we should be able to get smash mouth. Skins 27, Southskins 24.

Aquariuzzz Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 ATL 28-17 I believe Kirk Cousin will struggle on third down assuming Jordan Reed will be out on Sunday. More of a testament to some of the rhythm that Cousin and Reed have created with the offense. Reed is a threat with his route running and I believe after the catch, he is so good for a guy his size for those extra yards like when you need a first down which we will lose. We are going to look out of sync and have a bad third down percentage. If they open the offense up with the young guys, there is a chance, but Gruden will need to take the cuffs off of Kirk. AM and MJ will get more yards because Kirk will get some respect due to tape from last weeks game vs. Philadelphia. They wont commit everything to stopping the run and there will be some holes to run through. Our defense will hold ATL to only 7 early and give up 3 touchdowns in the mid 3rd and 4th qtr. Cousins throws an early interception due to miscommunication on a Crowder/Grant/Ross route and a late interception going deep to Ross. Kerrigan, 1 sack, Preston smith 1 Sack, Kysheon Jarrett, Int I want a Washington W, but I gotta call it like I see it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I'm not predicting a win but I'm getting the same vibe I got from the Rams and Dolphins games. I'm not trying to dump a bucket of cold water on the excitement, but there's a big difference between the Falcons and the Dolphins/Rams. Everything we thought we knew about those teams was based on off-season moves, hype, and projections from "experts" around the league. Sure, the Rams looked good in week 1, but that was also a bit of a mirage since they seem to have Seattle's number in St. Louis (even in seasons they win just a handful of games). Everything we think about Atlanta is based on what they've done on the field this year with these coaches and players. So, you could be right that we play them tight and dominant the game (boy, I hope so). But, I don't think this is ANYTHING like either of those first two games.

Heidenreich Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 The Falcons are # 3 against the run. That plan won't work YPG they're fifth, but that number is misleading. Yards per carry is the stat, and their 4.4 YPC is tied for 25th in the NFL. Chip Kelly just didn't want to run, and only ran 16 times for 63 yards (just under 4 per carry) You handled the Giants run game (ranked 24th in the league) Dallas, with no passing threat, hung 127 yards on 21 carries (6.04 yards per clip) Then Houston was a blowout so quick that the Texans had to keep throwing. The Falcons aren't a dominant run defense, what they are is very opportunistic and play to the score. If the Skins can control the ball they should be able to move it on the ground. Of course if we come out 5 wide like we did vs the Giants then we deserve to lose by 30 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTTR Skins- 27 Dirty Birds - 20 I know they'll see this and that's alright. I can see where they are sure they will win. They're 4-0 and are scoring well. But as we all know, week to week in the NFL is never a sure thing. With the way the league has set up the teams to have as much parity as possibly, blowing someone out (or as the Atlanta fans say-Destroying) is rare. Like I told the other fans that came in this thread, you may win, but it won't be as easy as they think. They have every right to think they will "destroy" us, but for a franchise that has been basically bad for most of their time and just recently had their first back to back winning seasons (mid 2000s when the franchise came in 1966 I believe), they shouldn't go around acting like they are on the level of a team like New England, who can basically call their shots. Don't get ahead of yourselves Dirty Birds. Take it one game at a time or that 4-0 start may end up 6-10. As Redskin fans, we know that all too well with a couple of seasons when we started 7-1 or 6-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddub52 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 We will need some turnovers to stay in this one. And it doesn't seem like our first interception is going to come in this game. Hopefully we can cause some fumbles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fearlessNelms Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 A few weeks ago when Denver beat Detroit, Lion WR, Golden Tate, said the Denver players On D were calling out the Lions' offensive plays. I credit a lot of that to Peyton Manning knowing Lions HC Caldwell's offense so well from their days together in Indy and he tipped off the D on what he likes to run. Maybe with Morris, Garcon, Griffin and even guys on IR like Paul and Paulsen having played in Kyle Shanahan's offense, they can give the Skins Defensive coaches and D some good insight on what Kyle likes to do. Maybe a stretch, but it happens, so why not? I also like how our three division foes have all played Atlanta to the wire and you can make the argument that all three could have beat them. I think our division is pretty even and if Philly, Dallas and the Giants could play the Falcons tough, so can we. Forgot to mention Cousins as a guy who knows Shanahan's offense. He's probably the guy that knows it better than any of the guys I named above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliSkinsFan92 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 i think it'll be similar the Giants game. They'll go up early. There will be opportunities to hang with them, but I don't think we'll hit them. Falcons are good and have gotten progressively better each game. I'll say Falcons wins 31-21.

DSGB Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I know we shouldn't look to the past but we did pretty good against the Falcons (@Landover) with Julio, White, and Gonzales playing in 2012. ATL did light up the Haslett D, but we limited their TD's. We also did good against the Falcons in 2013 @ ATL with Kirk Cousins, however they were a bad team that year. So maybe we have a chance. That's a bad idea. If you haven't noticed the coach in the years mentioned is now unemployed. The past has no bearing on this game. I wonder what that thread will look like after we smashcake and expose those soft sissies? Come visit on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bishop Hammer Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 It will be interesting to see the defense's first big test against a high powered offense. I see Atl winning but if the D surprises me by containing(I write contain because there is no stopping it completely) The Falcons offense then it could be a ball game.
