Redskins / Falcons Prediction Thread; A Show of Hands

[WesB]

Falcons passing game scares me, but I think the D will pick it up this week.

Skins 35
Falcons 24

So my bro goes to a sports bar last Sunday and sees a Native American Redskins fan and politely asks him "why are you a fan?" Guy says nothing but points to his skin....life's subjective.

Falcons offense best thing on the field after Robby G....too much firepower...too terrible a defense.

44-28 Atlanta Falcons.

I'm 0-4 on the season.

I'd like to see a gameplan similar to the Saints. It'll all come down to time of possession. Our run game gives us a big shot in this game. But we're still gonna get killed by the big play.

If we can run at will and keep Ryan off the field as much as possible, I'll say 31-28 Skins.

If we can't control the ball, I'll say 38-31 Falcons.

Falcons overlook Skins and come back to earth.

'Skins: 33
Falcons: 27

The run D is capable of shutting Turner down, but the pass D will resemble its old self. However, with #10 this team will always have a chance.

Skins: 31
Falcons 28

Our offense has kept us in every game so far this year and I think they will again this week - but the passing game of the Falcons will be too much for our secondary IMO.

Hope I am wrong but I see Redskins 30 - Falcons 37.

[Laron Burgundy]

I think we win the turnover battle and the game. Our defense won't be great, but it'll be better than our first 4 weeks as they play better when we're behind. 31-28

Falcons 38
Skins 28

wow, a lot of people picking the skins...

[martytheman]

Mr. 1-4 needs to redeem himself in a big way this week, he needs to make EVERYTHING. The skins can't afford to leave points on the field with how dynamic that offense is.
I like the skins IF they can play ball control and run the hell out of the birds in the 1st half.. however what I'm afraid of is they come storming out of the gate in the 2nd half, score some points, load the box up to take the running game away, and dare RG3 to beat him with his arm on 3rd and long like the previous 4 teams have done. 2 times it's worked out for them, 2 times it hasn't.
Hopefully the skins pull out the win 33-30

This is a reasonable prediction. Turner is no where near as fast as he used to be, and our run D has been solid all year!

However I expect a 35-31 game. Don't know which team will win, but it'll be around that score.

This is a trap game for the Falcons. We'll keep them off the field by running the ball down their throats. It'll be close but i think we come out on top with our first HOME Victory. #httr

Falcons 27 Redskins 33

The 'Skins win this one in a shocker. And in even more of a shocker, it's a relatively low scoring affair. The 'Skins dominate the clock with the running game and short passing game, keeping the ball for more than 40 minutes of the game. The Defense gives up 2 big plays, but otherwise plays well. Falcons score 4 times, 2 TDs and 2 FGs. The 'Skins score 4 times, 3 TDs and 1 FG. 'Skins win 24-20. (they also miss 1 FG, and Cundiff leaves FedEx escorted by armed guards.)

The 'Skins have to win at home eventually.

[DogofWar1]

I really really want to be optimistic about this game.

But I'm not. The Falcons have a very strong offense, and a fairly stout defense at that. They're easily the best team we've faced so far. My original prediction was that we'd lose by 7, but we've done worse than I expected since I made those predictions.

41-27 Falcons. I think we do get some things going, but Falcons just are too strong. We manage 5 solid drives, 3 going for TDs, but also commit a couple turnovers, and have our 1st negative turnover differential game.

[CaptChaos86]

I have a bad feeling about this one. Matt Ryan and the Falcons WR's are playing some seriously good football right now. And our secondary has not been great and love to give up big plays. If we can get a turnover or two to go our way we will stand a chance. I think it will be closer than what people think but i think our home losing streak continues. We lose this one.

Falcons - 34 Skins - 24

[GoSkins0721]

Hmmm....put me down for a 24-16 Skins win.

Looks like rain/showers in the forecast for Sunday. I'm expecting that to impact the dome team while the Skins grind it out on the ground. Hope to see Grant an active participant in the game on Sunday.
