Redskins / Falcons Prediction Thread; A Show of Hands

[Skins24]

Full reasonably healthy offense?
Skins 42
ATL 33

Gameplan I imagine will be similar to what we did in NO. Control the clock, don't let them on the field.
Cundiff misses another 30 yarder sealing his fate.

What in the world makes any of you think we'll put a 40 spot on the Falcons? I see this every week in these threads. At least try to come up with a more reasonable score. I'd rather see 28-24 or 31-28, then these 40 some scores. The offense is MUCH improved from last year, but we're not a 35 ppg team.

What a joke of a scouting report LOL. I just stopped reading it when they gave us the advantage in d-backs!!!

I am actually hearing a spattering of Skins in this game nationally which I find curious. We did no become a good football team by beating one 0-4 team and literally escaping an epic collapse against a 1-3 team last week. I literally cannot even imagine how we could slow down the falcons offensively. I can definitely see ways the falcons can slow us down (not necessarily completely stop us but slow us down).

Look, its fun to think we have a chance each week. That' what RG3 brings us. A punchers chance. But realistically, this Falcons team is far superior to ours.

Falcons 34
Skins 19

Skins 31 Db's 28. Team isnt the 19-0 Patriots. Hell Carolina almost got em last week.

I am so glad you said that. At the end of the day, defensive scheme could kill ATL. Hit Ryan early and hard. Kerrigan gets his big sack game this week, with 2 1/2. Maybe not a pick, but a possible forced fumble. Maybe a DL batted INT. Either way, we walk away with a W.

Skins 34 - Falcons - 27 - RG3 does not fumble late in game and give the Falcons that same last second shot at victory that Sham did last week

The Falcons aren't going undefeated. 27th ranked against the run, we're #1 running O. They slow down on real turf.

Matty Ice has an off week after Kerrigan racks him early for a fumble recovery. Fletcher gets a pick 6 in the 3Q. More of the same from Griffin. 236 yards, 1 rushing TD, no picks.

Skins 31, Falcons 17.

For sure I hate picking against the skins.

I had predicted a win in this game before the season started. But now I agree, Atlanta's strengths will exceed and expose our weakness. Their "D" is not all that and it's rated in the middle of the pack in various categories. I do believe we will be able to run the ball against them and control the clock.

Won't be as high scoring as one would think. I do believe we can keep close, but end up losing 27-20.

I reserve the right to change my pick on game day.

Wet game, skins pound the ball down their throats.

Skins: 27
Falcons: 23

A tough task ahead of us today, but I my heart can't pick against the 'Skins. A heavy dose of Morris against that rush defense....33-31 Redskins.

[DeaconTheVillain]

I can't see our secondary being able to stop their passing attack.

48-24

[UK SKINS FAN '74]

Looking through the stats, 3rd down efficiency looks critical to me..Falcons at almost 50% on the season, we are roughly half of that.

Run the ball well, convert well on 3rd's to win the TOP battle, plus make a couple of big stops on 3rd for them.

Skins win 30 - 27

Well, we screwed the third down game again. Falcons at 50% again, we go what, 1/9.

[texasthunder]

Gonna be a very tough game. Skins must keep the ground game going, and pressure Ryan for us to have a chance. Skins win on a late interception 35-30. Hail.

Washington is going nowhere with this defense, and DeAngelo Hall is going to get exposed like the fraud that he is.

No way we hold Atlanta under 30 points, the question will be whether the Redskins offensive line can give Griffin enough time to keep up with the Falcons.

To me thats where we lost it.
