It's sad that as poor as the NFC is the Skins can repeat what they did first half of the season and end up 10-6 and would still probably not make the playoffs, because Dallas wins the east, Packers the north, and then crap teams like the Bucs and Seahawks get in because they win their divisions even with a 7-9 record that's possible. As for the two wild cards the Giants then the Lions are in front, so really it is between the Giants and skins for a final playoff spot, I'd be pissed if we were 10-6 and didn't get in just because we are in the best division in the conference. At least we beat the Lions so if we have the same record we get in.

Despite being 5-3 Skins have to play better to get into the playoffs. The fact that it took OT to beat the Jets after Portis rushing for 200 yards is a little disturbing to me.

If Dallas wins this game they are essentially 3 games up on the Giants and you can essentially give them the division title...biggest game of the year for the cowboys by far.

Can we talk smack in this thread without the usual sensitivities?

And OT to beat the Phins...right?

Last second I think there. But that doesn't really matter to me. The fact that they ran for nearly 300 yards and barely beat the Jets is just bad. Couple that with the fact that we are half way through the season and no Redskin WR has caught a TD. But you know that Campbell is better than Eli right?

Of course.

Campbell better than Eli? Maybe on Madden 2010.

Who really said that with conviction?

my skins are fraud

Jughead10 · 11-05-2007, 01:42 PM

As for the Giants/Boys game. I want to come out 3 WRs and get Smith involved early. Along with Shockey. Because unlike the Eagles the Giants will be able to run the ball right down their throat if they come out with all those DBs on the field like they did last night.

Ya we'll probably have to play more nickel against you guys...but our dime package isn't a huge difference. It'll be interesting to see how you guys come out offensively.

Honestly I would love to come out and show you how lucky you were that Jacobs was out for the majority of the game. He is playing at a level right now that I did not think he could play at.

I want to keep Romo off the field because he'll torch our secondary even though our D has improved. I trust our running game against your run defense and would love to see Jacobs/Ward/Droughns combine for 40+ carries.

Jughead10 · 11-05-2007, 01:57 PM

The biggest match up is Strahan vs. Colombo. Strahan can't let Romo scramble to his side. They even call planned scrambles out that way. If Romo is gonna scramble it has to be to his left so he has to throw against his body. I'd assume we'll see a bit more of Kiwi coming off the edge with Strahan as well.

D-Unit · 11-05-2007, 01:58 PM

I thought I'd be humble and say the Giants will win... but I honestly... just givin' my opinion... I don't see it happening. Gonna be a good game though. I expect a much lower scoring fest than the first time.

It's all going to boil down to which QB has the better game.

AD was contained in Dallas in front of his whole family...probably the game he was most hyped up for. Dallas run D is strong. Getting pressure on the QB is another thing. Very hit or miss. If Chris Long was on our DL, I'd say this game would be cake walk.

thule · 11-05-2007, 02:05 PM

A side note...which goes further on our dime defense...

Quote:

Cowboys safety Pat Watkins appeared to sprain his ankle and was replaced by Keith Davis in the fourth quarter.

If this is the case...we won't ever go to our Dime package. We'll have to see what his status is gameday...but if Watkins doesn't play it's a huge hit to our defense and special teams.

Jughead10 · 11-05-2007, 02:07 PM

Giants seem to have only one significant injury which really isn't all that significant.

James Butler may not play. Although I'm pretty sold that Michael Johnson is better than him anyway.

thule · 11-05-2007, 02:07 PM

People don't realize that our whole defensive scheme revolves around stopping the run.

We are 5th in the league in run defense giving up 84.4 yards per game.

I guess part of this can come from teams playing catchup...but Dallas doesn't get ran on very much. If the game stays close...i would say over 100 yards is a possibility...but I would put the overunder at 90 right now.

D-Unit · 11-05-2007, 02:08 PM

Giants won't know how to prepare for it by studying game film... but Dallas will be releasing "The Tank". Yes, Mr. Johnson will be ready to wreak havoc.

A win is a win and they are a much more explosive offense with Kellen Clemens who can stretch it Vertical. And the Jets are no pushover, they aren't just any 1 win team. This team is 10 plays from being a 5 win team.

Wreak havoc? Does he plan on bringing his military aresnal with him to NJ?
