Way to take my comment out of context.
I specifically said it would be a close game until the end. If the entire game is close and Seattle scores a touchdown with two minutes to go to win 24-13 (the score I predicted), that doesn't mean it wasn't a close game. It means the game had a final margin that is not necessarily indicative of how close it really was.
So do you think Washington is a better team than the Hawks?I woud like to hear why you think so.-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. 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.
-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?
-LOL at "running game." Thats just repeating your first statement again and counting it as two statements. Washington has a better RB imho, although I think its very close, so I'll call it even. But then I think Washington has a better backup QB.
-Oh I agree totally about that. Thats why I'm picking them to win. But thats not an issue- we're not discussing who will win, as we already agree on that. We are discussing who the better team is.
-Over the course of the season, they definitely have the better offense. Over the course of the past month and a half, its been close.
-The Redskins have a better defense. Lets be fair and not just ignore points that don't favor Seattle.
-Define "stud" CB
-and the last two points also don't address who the better team is. They address who will win, and as I said, we already agree on that.
Look up.(whoosh!)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.
Don't forget the fact that Mark Brunnell is old and shot, that the Jets ripped the Redskins off in the Coles for Moss trade, and that Redskins fans are just a bunch of bandwagon fans despite the fact that they have been consistently one of the most supportive fan bases in the league (attendance, merchandise, etc.) while also having one of the worst teams in the league for the past 10 years. In all seriousness, although I am a Redskin fan myself (and have been so lo these many dark, losing years), I see them losing a close one (3 pts perhaps) to Seattle. At this point they are playing with "house money" though...the season is so much more successful than anyone would have predicted. I will still be rooting for them, but objectively I think this one will be tough...Joe Gibbs can't coach any more. Clinton Portis is a dud in Washington.

No doubt, birdbrain is really full of himself, that same post is all over the place, he must really love to read his own stuff. jwvdcw does post alot, but it's just wrong to put him at birdbrains level. You can at least have a conversation with him, you may not agree with him, but you can communicate. Birdbrain is off in his own world.
When you make statements like 'I think Seattle will win, but it will be close, and Washington could win', it's hard to be wrong.And your analysis for how the Skins made the playoffs after they were the #8 seed was strictly going by Vegas spreads. That's Vegas and the bettors doing the work, not you.
How can you state that Portis is as good as SA?-Agree on the OL-When both are healthy, not sure I agree on the QB. I'd say even.

I would say they are very even. Portis playing in Seattle would put up sick stats as well.How can you state that Portis is as good as SA?-Agree on the OL-When both are healthy, not sure I agree on the QB. I'd say even.

I will also point out that of the two teams, only Seatle has lost a game to a team with a losing record.(Not counting Washington's game against OAK)
Oh, I didn't realize the Skins sat all their starters in the Oakland game. Seattle rested their starters in the Week 17 Green Bay game, so thats why he didn't count it.
I got what he was saying. Just pointing out how rediculous it sounded.Oh, I didn't realize the Skins sat all their starters in the Oakland game. Seattle rested their starters in the Week 17 Green Bay game, so thats why he didn't count it.
Why is it ridiculous? Is a game when the Hawks rested their starters really indicative of the product they put on the field?I got what he was saying. Just pointing out how rediculous it sounded.Oh, I didn't realize the Skins sat all their starters in the Oakland game. Seattle rested their starters in the Week 17 Green Bay game, so thats why he didn't count it.
Again, I understand the point. The comparison was a stretch and has no validation what so ever.Why is it ridiculous? Is a game when the Hawks rested their starters really indicative of the product they put on the field?I got what he was saying.
