When: December 9th  1:00 p.m. noon central

Where: FedEx Field  a.k.a. the Opponent's Practice Field

 

Honestly, I am lost for words, so to speak, but this Sunday the Redskins welcome the New York Giants to FedEx Field in a divisional battle for last place.

 

Earlier, the Giants needed overtime, but defeated a strong Bears defense 30-27.

Both the Giants and Bears traded interceptions, FGs, and TDs, but it came down to a FG in overtime to give the Giants their 4th win of the season. Even though the Giants are likely out of the playoff picture they are still playing for pride,

The Giants star RB Saquan Barkley is having a good season, even if the team isn't. A fast and powerful runner, he will make defenders feel it when they tackle him.

A trick play, a Beckham pass to their other WR Shepard was good for 48 yds and a touchdown, totally catching the Bears napping. The Bears put up a good battle but really blew a good opportunity by losing this game.

 

Now, what everyone witnessed Monday night was a complete head-scratcher.

With 11 days to prepare, game plan, rest and recover, the Redskins went to Lincoln Financial Stadium and were man-handled by the Eagles., in a game the Redskins lost 28-13.

 

Colt McCoy, gotta feel for him, he tries, but he just can't stay in the line-up, but this time suffering a fracture to his leg. His replacement Mark Sanchez came in for relief, and immediately Adrian Peterson took the ball on a 90 yard touchdown run, and all of a sudden things were looking bright. That brightness was a locomotive called the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Eagles marched down the field in chunks of yards and immediately re-took the lead at 14-10 and never looked back.

The Redskins defense appeared to be trying for bonus money. If I were told that someone said they would pay any Redskin defensive player who got a turnover would receive a million dollar bonus, I would have believed it, because they didn't seem interested in tackling the ball carrier, only trying to strip the ball away { which didn't work ].

 

The Redskins kicked another FG to get it to 14-13 Eagles, but then the wheels, axle, trunk, and apparently a few yds of roadway came off, as the offense couldn't get anything going. When running in a 2 minute offense things appeared to get better and they moved the ball, but then Gruden decided enough was enough and went back to non-winning football. Eventually the Eagles would tack on another touchdown and a couple FGs to make it a final score of 28-13.

 

What really sticks out the most to me is, the lack of hustle, preparation, emotion, and game planning that Gruden and the team had shown, especially having 11 days to prepare for this game. Some say the McCoy injury was what derailed the team, but I can't buy that because the defense never really stepped onto the field, and have not done so in the last few games.

 

So, what do we expect to see in this game?

I am going to take a leap on this, but I have a feeling Josh Norman will be ejected from the game due to fighting with O'dell Beckham. The way things have been going for this team pretty much points to something like this happening. Frustration. Players getting mad at opponents and each other, and I think this will be seen on tv, and whats left of the image of the Washington Redskins will be further degrading.

The game has to be played, no doubt; what will the stands look like? Will they be filled with blue jerseys or just a lot of empty seats? This game has the makings of what happened against KC a few years back, where the camera panned around to show mostly empty seats.

 

I do think the actual game itself may be entertaining, with Mark Sanchize, butt-fumble, butt-fumble eraser, whatever he's called this week, may play better; but then again, this is FedEx field, so anything is liable to happen, I just don't want to see anymore broken legs, I'm beginning to feel like I'm in a grocery store looking at chicken quarters.

The big question is, will Dan Snyder clean house after the season is over? Many believe the time has come, and I could not agree more.

 

OK, the game itself; look for the Giants to test Sanchez quickly and often. I think he has a better game this week, and he did throw a few very nice passes, and he just may play a decent game, but with the defense struggling, look for Eli to take advantage of a secondary more focused on stripping than tackling.

I think by the time the 4th qtr starts, you may be able to hear crickets passing gas. In other words, the game may be over by halftime.

Final score:

Redskins 17

Giants 38

 

First correct score prediction wins a new Redskins beanie and a few other goodies { maybe even a Kleenex or 2 to sob the tears }

 

Good luck, and as always,   G  O    R  E  D  S  K  I  N  S  !!!

I was thinking before the Eagles game that watch us win and then lose against the Giants. Now it's back to nothing new so it must be a win now instead. We're on a 3 game down slide so I hope the team is a bit hungry this time. That, and finally no night game. Those are the only positives I can come up with.

 

Redskins - 24

Giants - 17

Yeah with the two-time butt fumble extraordinaire behind center, we play like ass, absolute futility rears it's head and puts us up ****s creek without a paddle.

 

All that's left is to turn the other cheek as we get reared. Gnats gonna get that booty. 

 

Giants 27

IR's 6

 how is the new version of the defense going to stop the Giants offense that has suddenly got on track?

I’ll just say this, if you bet the games, I’d tread lightly taking the Giants. Looks to be an overwhelming public push on them... and generally speaking that’s not the side you want to be on. 

Some dude last week bet 300,000 on Atlanta to beat Baltimore..dosent make sense

Mark Sanchez breaks his leg at the beginning of the 3rd quarter from some freak accident involving someone else's butt. Josh Johnson then runs 91 yards two plays later on a read option, and finishes the game with 97 yards on 14 carries.

After dropping the first two passes Eli throws to him, Josh Norman finally catches the third attempt and runs it back 32 yards. Peterson then runs the ball twice for -1 yards and a QB sack takes the Skins out of field goal range. Matt Ionnaidas finishes the game at right guard.

Giants 24-13.
