Am I the only worried about the hype of RG3 in this game and a possible let down?

No Pressure No Diamonds. RG3 is on a mission to be the best player ever.

we will win this game... we've dominated the giants the last 3 games and will take this win... RG3 only gets better under pressure and the rest of the team sees that... he elevates everyone's play; even the defense... what we need is great play calling and to get an early lead to demoralize new york.

i really think this is true... and there are indications he can do it.

I feel you. And I expect the skins to lose, but not because of RGIII, and not because of any let down. I dont expect the Redskins to muster any pass rush. Which could be huge problems for what passes as the Skins defensive bacfield. Eli could pass for 400 yards +.

But I didnt think they would make the playoffs this year anyway, so bar is low. As long as this team keeps getting better I will be happy.

A win isn't guaranteed but I don't expect a let down.

If a 5-6 team has a let down against a division rival defending superbowl champion at home on MNF the entire coacin staff should be fired before they even get to the lockeroom.

I believe RG3's worst statistical game of the season was against the Steelers, and we all know there was around 12 balls dropped by the WRs in that game that would have made a difference.

I am more worried about the NYG Front 7 adjusting and giving the O-line fits.

It's just a game to us and entertainment. Im as big as skins fan as there is....so enjoy the excitement and if it doesn't go our way. Back to work and look to the next game.

There is some revisionism going on here among people who claim that "RG3 has yet to have a bad game." He did have one bad game: Carolina. Our D had some bad moments, but on the whole they only allowed 21 points, which is very reasonable in today's NFL. Make no mistake: we lost that game because of a weak offensive performance, and RG3 was a big part of that. He had Robinson wide open for a gimme TD, but hesitated and the pocket collapsed. There were other missed opportunities as well.

That said, Carolina was just one game. No, I don't expect a letdown - not from RG3 himself, at any rate. The team as a whole might let us down, as our pass D could start sucking at any moment, and the NYG are no slouches.

Eli has rarely had a good game against us. He has only passed for multiple scores ONCE and in his last 5 games has 2 TD's and 8 ints. Haslett knows how to gameplan against Eli and Monday night will be no different. All comes down to capitalizing on the ints that ELi will throw us.

Going 23 for 39 for 215 and no picks along with 53 on the ground is a bad game? Nah man, go ask Brees, Ryan, and Romo what bad games look like. Sanchez. Vick. Foles. THOSE are bad games.

RGIII had an off day; he did not have a bad day.

The D only allowed 14 points. The officials chose to award Carolina another 7

Not only did he start well, and not only does he continue to do well, you can see him getting better. He hasn't fumbled the ball (at all?) lately. Early in the year he had dropped it 7 times, I think it still sits at 7. You can see how much more comfortable he is with each type of play, he's become very decisive very quickly. All signs point to dude becoming a downright perfect football player. Almost robotic, automatic.....he's a ROOKIE now lol...

As for letdowns on big stages, I get it, I had that feeling too. But now, let's think about it. It was a letdown every other week, if not weeks in a row anyway, no matter what time the game was played. It just SEEMED worse because it was primetime, it wasn't BECAUSE it was primetime. The team was just bad and inconsistent. Win or lose, we're pretty consistent now. For instance: we score a lot of points. RG3 isn't going to suddenly forget how to score a lot of points. It's all good.

En route to 13 points against a bad team whom your D contained for the most part? Yes, it is. Not terrible, but bad. Your own stats show that his comp% was 59 and his ypa was 5.5

RGIII had an off day; he did not have a bad day.

What does that even mean?

this isn't a popular topic on here my friend. In the Carolina game thread, I posted similar sentiments, claiming what I felt was a pretty mediocre game by RG3- I was not well recieved by my ES colleagues. That being said, he's a rookie and he's bound to have good games and bad, so I'm not sure why everyone reacts so defensively when he makes mistakes.

Were 11 games in.

Im not really worried at all anymore.
