[Jeff Pasquino]

A pseudo-playoff / elimination game between two 5-7 NFC teams.

Washington has been on an emotional roller-coaster, and the Bears are up and down as well.

Who wins and why?

 

[William Munny]

Bears cant run the ball/cant stop the run

Not sure how they win this game.

 

[TxBuckeye]

Meaningless game between two possible first round playoff losers.

 

[Magnus_CA]

I think tonight is the night Rex reminds us he's not starting QB material.

By chucking to Benard Berrian.

I think this game will be low scoring and that Washington will win it by 7.

However, I think it would be better if it was a total shootout with both teams scoring over 35 points.

Considering that a lot of people won't be able to see it, this scenario would likely get the cable companies to quit screwing around.

I really don't care who wins this turdfest. I'm still picking the Redskins.

I don't understand your reasoning on this. Two 5-7 teams in a fairly meaningless game sin't going to make people smack their foreheads in despair whether it's high or low scoring.

The only thing that will get the cable companies or the NFL to change their stance is $$$.

Duh Bears Will win this game.

I'm a big Skins fan, so maybe I have rose colored glasses. Offensively and Defensively, I think the both teams are mediocre at best. If the game was just offense vs. defense, I'd predict a 13-10 game (not sure who wins). But since special teams play, I give a huge edge to the Bears. I see Hester returning at least one kick for a touchdown. Maybe two. The Skins have been weak on kickoff coverage the past few weeks. So, since special teams give the Bears the edge, I predict a 20-10 or 20-13 victory for Chicago.

Passing. Seriously I doubt the skins win more than a game or two going forward. Too much turmoil and Gibbs appears to have lost his mojo.

 

[bez18]

Skins DBs can cover the Bears WRs. Just gotta watch out for the TEs getting open.

Skins should be able to run the ball vs da Bears

Skins win this one

 

[Dodge]

As long as Berrian and Portis don't score I'll be a happy man!

Grossman has to get it to him first. IIRC Grossman missed an open Berrian multiple times last week vs. the Giants.I pick Redskins.

I loved the reference to this being a turdfest. It is.

I got skins since they do not have rex grossman.

 

[Deuce'sWild]

what's the weather like in Washington?

Cold, but clear and not too much wind.

 

[Deuce'sWild]

Redskins K will be the highest scoring player tonight fantasy wise

 

[The Big V]

Peterson should get a lot of looks on the checkdown provided Wrecks can stay off his back.

Remember when the Redskins used to have a guy named Santana Moss? He was pretty good. I wonder what ever happened to him?

 

[Statcruncher]

As a Bears fan I can only hope they kick to Hester.

 

[JaxBill]

Skins blew lead on Sunday thanks to coaching gaffe. They buried a teammate in Florida on Monday. Their only practice this week has been a walkthrough.

Bears.

Not entirely true. Bills K made the first attempt, it was far from a given that he would've missed the second one.

I'm also not sure you can totally fault Gibbs for the 30 yard pass given up 2 plays earlier that put BUF in FG range.

 

[milo66]

Portis: 24 carries, 60 yds, 2 fumbles.

Bears 10-6.

 

[RICK ROMO]

Grossman

250 yds

2 TD's

Suisham

[Gambler]

Great stuff here?

Please keep it in the Shark Pool!

 

[Wrigley]

Looking for Portis to go off

But I own him

 

[PahtyTom]

Any update on if Springs is starting tonite?

Who Wins

Chicago Bears [ 52 ] ** [50.49%]

Washington Redskins [ 51 ] ** [49.51%]

Total Votes: 107

Wow.

That's a close one, for sure.

I've finally decided to go with the Redskins, just because of the Bears defense being terrible against both the run and pass statistically. Campbell is also playing well and I expect Cooley to dominate with SAM Hunter Hillenmayer at < 100%, if he even plays.

Washington by about 7 or 10 (and they don't kick to Hester).
