The Cincy-Houston game is going to be dreadfully boring, IMO.

Indy and Baltimore could be good if Luck can avoid turnovers.

Minnesota could give GB a game, though I'd be surprised.

 
This will be an interesting game because it is two of the top offenses and some serious running power. Seattle has the edge on defense although the Redskins have clearly improved on D since the bye week.

I think it is going to come down to which rookie QB really steps up and although I really like Wilson, I am a Redskins fan and I think RGIII is going to make the streak8 in a row. Home field advantage will help a lot. I remember the 80's in RFK and while Fed Ex Field isnt RFK, Redskins fans can get loud. I am very very glad we get this game at home and dont have to go to Seattle.

 
It was striking how hobbled Griffin looked on that right leg. There were some plays tonight that, if he were fully healthy, might have gone for 6. But he was hopping around, gutting it out. I'm not sure how much healthier he can get in seven days.

Very troubling. The performance from Morris made up for it tonight but I expect Seattle to be very ready for Morris and the Redskins are going to need all of their weapons, including a fully healthy RGIII.

A week can make a lot of difference with a knee sprain....He was better this week than last....will he be 100%, prob not, but I'm sure we will see an improved rg3. Truthfully tht might make game planning even tougher for hawks as they won't know if they need to prepare for 25 read options or 10.

Yeah, he still had 6 runs for 63 yards and a TD.
 
A week can make a huge difference. Especially at the end of the healing process. A lot of that was the brace. He might finally get to lose the brace next week.

Through gaping holes and probably 2 of them could've been 6. This is the only time I've seen a lot of him so far and came away underwhelmed. Even accounting for the bum knee, I didn't think his passing or decision making was very crisp. I'm far more concerned with Morris and would rather they game plan for him and let the secondary deal with RG3.

He is quite underwhelming. :lol:

You need to go back and watch some tape of him shredding defenses with his arm because if you just game plan for Morris, RGIII can destroy you. Because the Cowboys interior defense was so weak, the Redskins just gameplanned a lot of bulldog running and steamrolled them. Tonight was not the typical Redskins offense.

I'm just talking about this game and I know it was almost completely because of the knee. Not trying to knock him at all.
 
If LB Leroy Hill is still out next week its going to hurt. I hate watching Malcom Smith miss tackles. Hill puts runners on the ground. Smith has a tendency to bounce off.

 
Redskins vs Seahawks - home field + RGIII > Wilson

Ravens beat the colts

Packers beat AD

Texans vs Bengals tight but I will go with Cinn with the upset

On the plus side, Browner will be back, well rested and ready to crack some skulls. Not a huge fan of a safety having to make a lot of tackles on the run game, but it should be a good matchup between him and Morris.eta: and Bam Bam, who's a scary hard hitter, just ask Vernon.

CB Brandon Browner will rejoin Seattle after his suspension on Monday. I was very hopeful that rookie Jeremy Lane was going to impress, but he looked awful today on the Rams TD drive. He got torched off the line twice and failed to tackle a WR giving up a huge play.

Whoa. Homer minds think alike at times. I was typing the same thing as you were posting this. :jinx:
 
Seattle has a much easier path to victory IMO- put their CB's on an island, they are capable of handling Moss and Garcon straight up - stack the box and focus on shutting down Morris - leave the extra to shadow a gimpy RG3 and close on him hard like the Seahawks have been doing most all season to opponents when RG3 takes the ball on the read option - make it a long physical day for him. On offense Lynch is a tough out and the Redskins can be run on from what I've seen - it will open things up for Wilson.

It's not just me, right? Is this not easily the most intriguing game of the opening weekend?
Indy @ Balt, Cincy @ Houston or Minn @ GB is intriguing too?Easily? Have more rhetoric please.I'll take a guy who ran for over 400 yards against the Packers and and all world offense in GB over Seattle and Washington. This game you speak of will be the let down game of the weekend. Washington O with a banged up RG3 as you can clearly still tell against tough D, and Seattle O who did nothing against STL still doing nothing in cold weather against an improving D. Good game, yes, easily the most intriguing? NO

That would be true, if the Redskins werent a top 5 run defense.
 
Seattle is such a better team at home. I think they have the greatest home field advantage in the entire NFL. Playing this game in Washington changes everything.

That all being said, I think Seattle is still a better team on both sides of the ball. It'll be a fairly close game (within a TD), but I think Seattle will come out on top.

 
Hate to see my Cowboys lose but as a football fan, really looking forward to this matchup. I honestly think Seattle would have beaten Dallas by 20 anyway.

I think the real difference in this game will be if RGIII is healthy. He looked better this week than last week.

In the end, I love the Seahawks defense. I think it will be the difference in the game. I don't think the Redskins defense is as good as Romo made them look.

Seattle 24 Washington 21

 
Several things:

1. I think the main story here is going to be the health of RGIII's knee. He still looked limited vs. Dallas, but he did a lot more than he did vs. Philly. In particular, he ran *enough* that the defense had to think about him running, and that opens up opportunities for Morris and the play action slants. A big misperception is that if RGIII is not running 75 yards for TDs then he's not good enough. I don't really think that's the case. I think what's critical is that they run him a few times early and make Seattle respect him as a weapon, thereby opening up opportunities for others. I am very nervous that he's still limited, but if he makes as much progress this week as he did last, perhaps he'll be a bit more of a weapon. We will see. Seattle has a much better defense than Dallas so this is more of a challenge.

2. The other thing the Redskins are going to have to do is bring back the play action more this week. They could run exclusively against Dallas because Dallas was so beat up up front...Seattle will be healtier. Above a poster said that Seattle can easlily single cover Garcon and Moss all game and stack the box. I really, really hope as a Skins fan that Seattle does this. I think you are seriously underestimating Garcon. If he is single covered all game it's definitely going to give the Redskins a chance to get some cheap scores via long strikes during the game. Dallas effectively limited Redskins passing with Cover 2 and other schemes, not by playing single cover all over the field.

3. I would love to hear more thoughts though from Seattle homers how the Seattle D will likely scheme to face the Skins. Is it likely they just play 8 in the box all game? How have they schemed vs. other opponents earlier this year. At the same time, I'm curious how Skins D will approach Seattle. I fear if they go too blitz happy Wilson will get outside and bust some big gains. Haslett has been working wonders over the last 7 games scheming for different opponents, but how will he draw this one up?

Should be a good game. I can see it going either way. That's why I think RGIII's health is a major factor and may proove the difference between a W and a L for the Skins...
