you ask about(see title of your threadReskins
You don't know who the reskins are? Come on, everyone knows they are America's favorite bandwagon team!Thanks for the heads up. Change made.Who are these
you ask about(see title of your threadReskins).. Still went with Seahawks at home
3 tuddy's huh? Not expecting much out of WAS this weekend. I think if they can control the clock, they have a real good chance to win this game.Seahawks by 3 TDs.
Noise was a factor in forcing Qwest Field visitors into an NFL-high 24 false-start penalties during the regular season. The New York Giants committed 11 of them in a single game, and now their NFC East rivals are coming for a divisional-round playoff game.
The Seahawks have won a league-best 22 of their past 25 regular-season home games.
That has to be the worst thought out and completely incorrect post I've ever seen on these boards. Sounds like an Iggles or Cowboys fan to me.Joe Gibbs can't coach any more. Clinton Portis is a dud in Washington. The Redskins defense is a porous bunch of nobodies that never causes turnovers. The Redskins offense was inept in consecutive must-win games against Dallas, the Giants, and Philadelphia. The Redskins never give full effort, and never beat teams who are "better" than them.![]()
Seattle by 50 points at least.![]()

LOL....Besides the Bears and Seahawks....all other 8 wins by the Redksins were opponents that the Seaahwks beat as well.skins beat tough opponents hawks beat rams, cards, and 49ers
SEATTLE - Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels and Washington D.C. Mayor Anthony Williams have made a friendly wager on Saturday’s Seahawks – Redskins playoff game. Nickels put up fresh salmon from Pike Place Market, while Williams put four chili dogs from Ben’s Chili Dogs on the line."I've been meaning to try Ben's Chili Bowl and I'm looking forward to sharing a chili dog - or four - with Mayor Williams next time I'm in D.C.," Nickels said."There's nothing like fresh salmon from Pike Place Market - and I'm looking forward to sinking my teeth into it," Williams said."May the best team win - and our salmon stay in Seattle," Nickels said.
The last time the Skins played there they won. Here is how Seattle has done at home against +.500 teams this year:Atlanta W 21-18Seahawks at QWEST FIELD

First of all, the Bears and Seahawks are the 2 best teams in the league, so thats a huge gap there. I don't know why you act as if thats nothing.Secondly, Washington lost tough games like @KC, @Denver, @NYG, etc. Seattle never had to play tough games like that. If they had, they sure wouldn't be 13-3.LOL....Besides the Bears and Seahawks....all other 8 wins by the Redksins were opponents that the Seaahwks beat as well.skins beat tough opponents hawks beat rams, cards, and 49ers
So you call the Skins beating tough opponents, when the Hawks beat 80% of the same opponents, and then you go and say the Hawks have a cream puff schedule. You need to make up your mind already cause you are sounding like an idiot.
I think Redskins fans should jump to Carolina now because it's gonna be a long week next week with your team out. Since your a Ravens fan also this should be an easy move. Let's see another ten posts about SOS please.First of all, the Bears and Seahawks are the 2 best teams in the league, so thats a huge gap there.

When the Indy starters left the game, they were losing 14-3.The Seahawks have the BEST HOME RECORD IN THE NFL in the past 25 home games and you are discounting it because they didn't win by a lot. No game in the NFL is a gimme game and the Hawks have gone 8-0 at home 2 out of 3 seasons.The last time the Skins played there they won.

Dallas W 13-10
NY Giants W 24-21
3 wins by 3 points each. Note: I didn't include the Indy game because it was meaningless and Indy rested their starters after less than one quarter of play.
For all this talk of what a great home field advantage Qwest Field is, I'm sure not seeing it. I think that 8-0 mark is more of a case of going against poor competition. Notice that of those 3 teams only 1 made the playoffs and they got embarrassed in the first round. I'd say that Washington is better than those 3 teams.
Really? Tell me which of my "arguments" you disagree with:1. After week 2 of the season I predicted that the Redskins would finish 10-6 and would be a wild card.Hey Tird, How many threads you gonna post this in? You started your own which is very in-depth with all your three dollar inputs and I see it everywhere else as well. I think you should post this in every single thread on the site. You and jwswdfghtw should become the same user because you have the same empty arguments. Or are you the same poster? Huh.
You picked them as #22 or something after week one. And the Saints 7th! If you need a shovel to dig that hole let me know. I could pick my team to win every week too. Only difference is I would have actually been right.Really? Tell me which of my "arguments" you disagree with:1.

2. After week 14 when they were the #8 seed, I predicted that they would still make the playoffs. I went through every single game and showed why I thought it would happen and which teams ahead of them would lose.
3. I predicted they would beat Tampa Bay.
4. I predicted they would lose to Seattle, as I've said many times in my thread, but I think it'll be very close and I could easily see them upsetting them.
I would love to see your posts on the Redskins this year, and I'm very interested how on earth you can critisize my arguments when I've been pretty much flawless this whole year including PICKING THEIR EXACT RECORD AFTER WEEK 2.
FWIW I think that the Redskins are Seattle are completely even teams- if anything I think that Washington is better. I think that Seattle only has a better record due to their easy schedule. However, I think that due to Washington playing 3 straight road games, Washington getting burned out after being in 6 straight must win games, Seattle being extremely well rested, and HFA, Seattle will win, but as I said, I don't think it'll be a blowout, and I think Washington could win. I think Seattle has a 60% chance of winning and Washington has a 40% chance of winning.
Thanks for calling me out for no reason whatsoever. I'll be eagerly awaiting you to show me your predictions for the Redskins this year and how right you've been.
What excuses am I making? I think Seattle will win. I have said this at least 15 times(not exaggerating at all). But I refuse to sit back and listen to faulty logic. I refuse to sit back and listen to people say that Seattle will blow out Washington because of HFA. Seattle hasn't blown out a good team all year long. Washington has btw. And LOL at thinking that Indy starters were trying at all. They knew they were getting pulled soon and they jsut wanted to stay fresh and get a few reps in. But you know they weren't diving all over the place risking injury.When the Indy starters left the game, they were losing 14-3.The Seahawks have the BEST HOME RECORD IN THE NFL in the past 25 home games and you are discounting it because they didn't win by a lot.

Qwest Field was also home to the most false starts by opponents.

No, I did not pick them #22. I did POWER RANKINGS, which are not a prognostication but show how I feel each team is playing at the moment. After a 9-7 win over the Bears(who I thought were bad at the time), I didn't think they played that well so I ranked them lowly.You could pick your own team to win every game? Huh? Now you're not even making sense! I picked the Redskins to be 10-6. Thats SIX losses that I predicted. I also predicted them to lose this coming week to Seattle! That makes 7 times I've picked against them. How am I picking them to win every week????You picked them as #22 or something after week one. And the Saints 7th!

You are belittling the advantage of HFA at Qwest Field saying its not so much playing at home, but rather playing weak opponents. I don't care how many weak teams they play, going 22-3 in the past 25 games at home is spectacular under any circumstance in the NFL and is definately prrof that Qwest Field offers a large advantage for the Hawks.You will take note of this on Saturdy as the 12th Man will be deafening and probably the loudest it has ever been since 1984 in the Kingdome.What excuses am I making?

I simply don't understand why you hate the Skins so much. Those 2 arguments are ridiculous and I'll show you why right here:-The Bears starting QB got injured in preseason. They had time to get their backup ready. The Redskins starting QB got injured in that very game! They had to adjust on the fly.LOL...They beat the Bears in the first game of the season with Orton's first game, and they squeaked out a win against Seattle with Josh Brown missing a FG.First of all, the Bears and Seahawks are the 2 best teams in the league, so thats a huge gap there.

Quit the SOS argument already. The Seahawks have done nothing but beat the opponents they have been scheduled against, what more can you ask of them?
I'm not picking on you. Chill. I backed you last weekend when you were going at it with Bucs fans so I do think you have some very good points. You just have a lot of points. And the SOS stuff is tiring. We posted additional schedule strength breakdowns and power polls but you didn't even consider them. That's ok.

Look I've been wrong about a lot of things. If you really want to pick on me, pick on me for thinking that the Ravens would make the playoffs this year. But you just look foolish attacking me on the one subject that I've probably prognoticated better than any single member here at FBGs.

I agree that HFA is an advantage...I'm not disputing that. I'm disputing that Seattle often blows teams out at home. I am disputing those people in this thread who are saying that Seattle will blow Washington out or that theres little chance Washington can win. Seattle wins close games at home against good teams...thats great. I'm not belittling them for winning close; I'm simply saying that if they win, they'll most likely continue to win close games.You are belittling the advantage of HFA at Qwest Field saying its not so much playing at home, but rather playing weak opponents.

Ummm, probably cause I am not just looking at only those items when concluding who the better team is.SOS and head to head 14 games ago are not the only items I look at to determine who has a better team....maybe you should do the same.Yes, Seattle has beaten the opponents they've gone up against. OK, fine. I'm not saying that they don't deserve to be where they are at. But if want to objectively say who the better team is, then you have to look at SOS. And its very very close: Seattle has a 13-3 record against a very easy schedule, Washington has a 10-6 record against the 2nd hardest schedule in the league, Washington beat Seattle heads up. IMHO those 3 facts mean that the 2 teams are very close in terms of how good they are. I don't know how you can look at those 3 facts and conclude that Seattle is definitively better.![]()

4. I predicted they would lose to Seattle, as I've said many times in my thread, but I think it'll be very close and I could easily see them upsetting them.
I would love to see your posts on the Redskins this year, and I'm very interested how on earth you can critisize my arguments when I've been pretty much flawless this whole year including PICKING THEIR EXACT RECORD AFTER WEEK 2.
FWIW I think that the Redskins are Seattle are completely even teams- if anything I think that Washington is better. I think that Seattle only has a better record due to their easy schedule. However, I think that due to Washington playing 3 straight road games, Washington getting burned out after being in 6 straight must win games, Seattle being extremely well rested, and HFA, Seattle will win, but as I said, I don't think it'll be a blowout, and I think Washington could win. I think Seattle has a 60% chance of winning and Washington has a 40% chance of winning.
Thanks for calling me out for no reason whatsoever. I'll be eagerly awaiting you to show me your predictions for the Redskins this year and how right you've been.![]()
Look I've been wrong about a lot of things. If you really want to pick on me, pick on me for thinking that the Ravens would make the playoffs this year. But you just look foolish attacking me on the one subject that I've probably prognoticated better than any single member here at FBGs.
Chill dude. You have some good points and some good stats to back you up. Plus easy on the lies stuff. People use topics of discussions to develop an opinion over time. My point is valid, you have a lot of posts and say a lot. Most of it is pretty decent.I agree that HFA is an advantage...I'm not disputing that. I'm disputing that Seattle often blows teams out at home. I am disputing those people in this thread who are saying that Seattle will blow Washington out or that theres little chance Washington can win. Seattle wins close games at home against good teams...thats great. I'm not belittling them for winning close; I'm simply saying that if they win, they'll most likely continue to win close games.You are belittling the advantage of HFA at Qwest Field saying its not so much playing at home, but rather playing weak opponents. I don't care how many weak teams they play, going 22-3 in the past 25 games at home is spectacular under any circumstance in the NFL and is definately prrof that Qwest Field offers a large advantage for the Hawks.You will take note of this on Saturdy as the 12th Man will be deafening and probably the loudest it has ever been since 1984 in the Kingdome.What excuses am I making? I think Seattle will win. I have said this at least 15 times(not exaggerating at all). But I refuse to sit back and listen to faulty logic. I refuse to sit back and listen to people say that Seattle will blow out Washington because of HFA. Seattle hasn't blown out a good team all year long. Washington has btw. And LOL at thinking that Indy starters were trying at all. They knew they were getting pulled soon and they jsut wanted to stay fresh and get a few reps in. But you know they weren't diving all over the place risking injury.When the Indy starters left the game, they were losing 14-3.The Seahawks have the BEST HOME RECORD IN THE NFL in the past 25 home games and you are discounting it because they didn't win by a lot. No game in the NFL is a gimme game and the Hawks have gone 8-0 at home 2 out of 3 seasons.The last time the Skins played there they won. Here is how Seattle has done at home against +.500 teams this year:Atlanta W 21-18Seahawks at QWEST FIELD
Noise was a factor in forcing Qwest Field visitors into an NFL-high 24 false-start penalties during the regular season. The New York Giants committed 11 of them in a single game, and now their NFC East rivals are coming for a divisional-round playoff game.The Seahawks have won a league-best 22 of their past 25 regular-season home games.
Dallas W 13-10
NY Giants W 24-21
3 wins by 3 points each. Note: I didn't include the Indy game because it was meaningless and Indy rested their starters after less than one quarter of play.
For all this talk of what a great home field advantage Qwest Field is, I'm sure not seeing it. I think that 8-0 mark is more of a case of going against poor competition. Notice that of those 3 teams only 1 made the playoffs and they got embarrassed in the first round. I'd say that Washington is better than those 3 teams.
Qwest Field was also home to the most false starts by opponents.
If thats not HFA, then I don't know what is.
Your excuses are getting quite lame.
Please tell me what you do look at then. And no matter what you say, you're not going to get away from SOS though. For example, if you say "I think Seattle is better because they were good at this stat." Well then I'm going to respond by saying that they were only good at that stat because of weak SOS.Ummm, probably cause I am not just looking at only those items when concluding who the better team is.SOS and head to head 14 games ago are not the only items I look at to determine who has a better team....maybe you should do the same.Yes, Seattle has beaten the opponents they've gone up against. OK, fine. I'm not saying that they don't deserve to be where they are at. But if want to objectively say who the better team is, then you have to look at SOS. And its very very close: Seattle has a 13-3 record against a very easy schedule, Washington has a 10-6 record against the 2nd hardest schedule in the league, Washington beat Seattle heads up. IMHO those 3 facts mean that the 2 teams are very close in terms of how good they are. I don't know how you can look at those 3 facts and conclude that Seattle is definitively better.![]()
fair enough.....I'll leave it alone for a while. May the best team win.Chill dude. You have some good points and some good stats to back you up. Plus easy on the lies stuff.

FWIW, here are the statements that I was reacting to:I don't think many people are thinking it will be a blow out, but the title of the thread is "who is going to win?".
IMO...thats Seattle.
Not sure why we are arguing if you think Seattle will win as well.
If Seattle gets any sort of momemtum early, this game will be over.
Seahawks by 3 TDs.
Oh, and they will lose by 7 though the game won't really be that close.
but I think out of the 4 playoff games this week....this game will have the largest point gap. The Seahawks are going to win by a big margin. Take the Hawks and give the points. Book it!
Now go and count how many posts in this thread have said that Washington will win or it will be a close game....not many at all. That is what I reacted to.I think Seattle gets a late score to cover the spread.
Howabout is I say....-they have a better OLPlease tell me what you do look at then. And no matter what you say, you're not going to get away from SOS though.

You, yourself don't even think that the Skins will win, so how can you fault others for thinking the same?Now go and count how many posts in this thread have said that Washington will win or it will be a close game....not many at all. That is what I reacted to.
-Agree on the OL-When both are healthy, not sure I agree on the QB. I'd say even. Washington has a better backup QB imho.Howabout is I say....-they have a better OLPlease tell me what you do look at then. And no matter what you say, you're not going to get away from SOS though.

-they have a better QB
-they have a better running game
-they have HFA and the Skins have to take a cross country flight which takes away time to prepare
-they have a better offense
-they have a defense that will be able to keep the Skins offense from scoring many points
-they have a stud CB in Trufant that will be matched up against S. Moss all day
-they have a week of rest and practically all their starters playing
-they are playing a banged up Redskins team
Is that enough?
exactly. I think Seattle has a 60% chance of winning.he doesn;t think it's such a no-brainer, blow out type game that some people are suggesting.
