Personally I would love to see the Redskins/Cowboys second round, but playing Seattle in Seattle is no easy task.
As far as opening up the playbook for Collins goes, I have heard a lot of Redskin fans say that, but these look like the same plays to me. It is just that Collins is making better choices and throwing the ball on time. Yards productivity wise, the Campbell offense and Collins offense is about the same. Two big differences though, Collins has only turned the ball over once on a fumble, Campbell accounted for 4 of the 6 turnovers against the Buccanneers alone. Another things is TD's. The Redskins played about the same against Buffalo as the did the Vikings, really dominated them, yet first three scores were FG's against Buffalo, our first 3 offensive scores against the Vikings were TD passes.
The Redskins have been about the same all year, again only getting blown out by the Patriots, every other game they have had the chance to win. Will they win this week, I don't know, we go back to only scoring FG's anything can happen.
I do know this though, if anyone gets blown out this week it will be a Cowboy team resting their starters.
And for the record, I think Ohio State will beat LSU. LSU is a good matchup for them.

This is true and I like Campbell a lot. He's had a good year. But if you remember those games, there was serious turmoil on the sidelines. Who's calling the plays? Why aren't they getting in on time? Why is the personnel on the field not what it should be? Why are they calling a timeout at a time like that? They are clearly more comfortable letting Collins just run the plays than with Campbell. I don't quite understand it but right now it is what it is, and it's shown on the field. You can see the difference in play calling by how the ball has been spread around the field. For a long time, the WRs didn't even have a catch and last week Collins hit at least 5 different targets. It's not that Campbell couldn't (imo) but they wouldn't let him.
Exactly... ODogg, your definition of what a homer IS was perfectly sculpted to not include you and others like you. There are some homers that are completely unbearable. Those are who you describe... but there are also those like you. I don't think your completely irrational but your thought process is flawed by your being a Boys fan and it's pretty easy to see.
With that said, you make good points about why you should feel the Boys should win... I don't think you shouldn't feel they'll win actually. I just don't agree with some of your reasoning for that. I personally think a completely healthy Boys team would win this game but they aren't healthy. Their best player on offense definitely won't be playing. Their best corner is hurting and shouldn't play much if at all. Their QB has been struggling recently and losing his best target won't help. It's a rivalry game that means the world to the Skins and in DC. You may say the Boys will win despite all that and that's cool... like I said, it's just the reasons you listed that don't really sound right.
