Week 9: Washington Redskins (3-5) @ Minnesota Vikings (3-5)

[Skyboxer]

Think the Skins pull it out.
Sure it's probably the homer in me but feel they get running game going and in turn that opens up even more passing.
Really depends on the D and if they aren't spent after the great Cowboys game.
Redskins 27
Vikings 17

Not cool to wish injury on a player. I hate Dallas but would never wish injury on any of them.

You realize this post was probably better suited for last weeks game thread? You literally didnt even talk about the game this at all...

I'm with you on a close game but think that's with either guy playing and the winner going either way. Both teams CAN win, but both will do things to make it less likely. If Griffin plays within himself I think the Skins win going away... but you see how much confidence there is in that happening.

Our defense won the last game for us lol

It also allowed a pretty big drive to the Bucs to allow the game to go into OT. And allowed the Bills to drive down the field (completing a 4th and 20 in the process) to win the game the week before.

I don't know why, but I have had a lot of confidence in this bunch all year. A lot more than I have had in recent years. I had confidence going into last year until it was obvious RGIII was hurt all year basically. I went right back to how I was the past 5+ years of not expecting much.

Now I am possessing a new amount of confidence I have not had in a long time. More than I did during RGIII's rookie season. I was constantly expecting the winning streak to end. Obviously my confidence hasn't been met as the record is 3-5, but I also feel a large part of that is the amount of interceptions Cousins loved throwing giving teams 30 yard fields 3 times a game.

I think the defense is legit. I think the offense with a healthy RGIII who doesn't press is a very good one as well and more than enough to win a lot of games. I don't expect RGIII to be lights out, but I think he will be smart with the ball and I think the Redskins can score barring turnovers. I expect the defense to keep them in the game all day no matter what, but I feel if the offense protects the ball, it is a win.

Key to the game for the Vikings will be the two lines. Get pressure on whoever the QB will be, and hope to God that our terrible offensive line can be decent.
