OT: Washington Redskins 2018 Season Vol. 3: Half-full (6-3)

[sycamore]

Bengals are quietly 4-1. No one is talking about them, what with the Rams and the Chiefs steamrolling everyone.

 

[marcel snapshot]

OMG - the Browns just won on the worst field goal that actually was made in the history of the NFL. That thing looked a flying pig that was shot almost immediately after it was kicked

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Oh no Gano!

The Bengals are often paper tigers. I want to say they start out hot quite a bit, like the Chiefs, then fizzle when it matters. You can practically set your watch by those things as well as slow starts by the Packers.

Note also the Fins simply blew that game. They were up 17-0 and in control, then went on an unbelievable streak of stupidity with 2 pick 6s given up by RT with idiotic deflections at the LOS.

As usual the Steelers will rally late and come out of that division but the Bungles could fight for a WC spot. Unless the Ravens figure out how to get 6'6" Joe Flacco to stop throwing the ball into linemen.

Also I don't think I've seen so many of those wacky turnover/TDs at the line of scrimmage in one week. Happened twice in Cincy, once in KC, and just happened in Philly (for Minny), Ryan fumbled and PIT got a TD . May have been more I don't remember. CAR got one on special teams when OBJ fumbled.

The Cowboys, Giants, and Eagles all lost yesterday. The Redskins have a chance to be 2 up in the Loss column after 5 weeks which would be nice. They should have plenty of motivation for tonight.

Which means......drum roll please.....hard and fast loss.

Damnit!

I think it will have the opposite effect. We are in the drivers seat, which is code for, take the foot off the gas.

Winning tonight, is so not us. Big Stage. Prime Time. To pad our lead in the Least. Coming out of the bye week.... flat as a Wilson pancake victim. The only thing we have going for us, is we are not at home where our stadium is overrun by out of towners.

That all said, I am going all in Skins as per the usual. I am thinking under, only, I always think over. We have a decent ranked pass D, and think N.O. does as well.

Edit yeah what Rids said

 

[marcel snapshot]

I'm with Team Gloom and Doom. It would be so on-brand for Snyder's Redskins to lay a gigantic egg tonight. It's what they always do in these situations where they seem set up for success, but then utterly fail at the thing they need to actually do.

Also that Indy loss looks worse and worse with each passing week, and the wins over Arizona and Green Bay get less impressive as time goes by as well.

 

[RandyHolt]

I just read its forecast to be Drew Brees night. Anytime there is a home team big award or pregame ceremony, yeah that's not good for the away team.

Brees needs 200 yards to break the NFL record of passing yards. They already plan to stop the game. We may even have a video. I predict he ends up with 417 yards.

You have to admit, in their futility, the Browns are entertaining. That flying pig FG was a beauty

 

[kicksavedave]

Which means......drum roll please.....hard and fast loss.

Damnit!

Big game, MNF, national audience, chance to cement a lead in the division, chance to beat a quality team, chance to build some much needed confidence.

100% guaranteed this:

Run Run Run to the Under? Or, as they say in small circles of NFL chalkers...."RUNder"

53? Super high for an NFL game

Huge payoff if the Redskins can win on Monday Night Football — Hogs Haven

If the Redskins beat the Saints on Monday night, these good things will all happen:

The Redskins resulting 3-1 record would increase the lead in the division to 1.5 games.

The ‘Skins would vault into a tie for 2nd place in the conference with the Bears and Panthers.

The Redskins would earn a potentially critical tiebreaker against the Saints, which could matter in playoff seedings or wildcard calculations at the end of the season.

The Redskins would put up an important win against a quality opponent on prime time television, something the Redskins haven’t done often enough in the past

Runder...Ruh Roh. It's against my religion. I just can't click it.

We are not talking a Browns Ravens game here, a 6-3 flying pig fest. It's a track meet in the dome. Brees Thomas Kamara Ingram...

Our best hope - tight man on Thomas, and stack up vs the run. Attack Brees. Get a helmet on his chin early. And then I will be more inclined to go runder.

First Episode was 1962. The show was way ahead of its time.

Nice! All signs point to....

New Orleans 41
Washington 30

(and something silly like 31-10 at halftime)

Putting on my homer/hopeful goggles.....


24-21 good guys.

That would be awesome.

I need Crowder to have a big game to win one of my weeks in one league....and Reed to have a bigger game in my other league.

So.....they both will get hurt?

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

The comments in this thread are hilarious and I'm here for them. Prove us wrong tonight, boys.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

I have AP and the Skins D going tonight. Only D scoring counts thankfully not points against.


I’m hoping AP is holding a Saints grudge and we see a vintage 100 yard 3TD game!

That would be amazing. Give me 150 total yards and 3 TDs please.

Won $150 on DK in a $.25 game last week. Fantasy team was 4-0. This week, not such a rosy outcome, unless AP and Smith dominate. So I need this Skins win to salvage a crap weekend.

I think I picked the Saints to win this one before and my head still says so, but JFC I still have hope for some kind of Miracle on MNF where the Skins just go nuts and nobody knows how to handle it.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Just can’t DK (or any DFS) now. Lost its enamor.

 

[RandyHolt]

Mo Harris is $200 on Draftkings. A starting WR in a high O/U game. He once made a Beckham like one handed catch. And is tall... that is all I need to know. How can I lose?

We are 7-2 at New Orleans. We have that going for us, which is nice.

Otherwise we are destined to never be 2 games up in our division. Good things like that don't happen to us. We are 8-8 or 7-9 all year.

Skins + Over = New Orleans + Under.

 

[Bananas]

We’re due for a win on MNF.

Then again the Caps were due for a win in R2 for like 7 years before it actually happened...

Based on health and the Saints D, I actually don’t hate our chances of pulling this off. I’ll be paying attention which is certainly unusual this late in the year haha.

Bengals can make the playoffs and nobody will talk about them.
