With Pierce and Hasselbeck on their sidelines that is going to change some things in both our offense and defensive schemes. Im sure both are helping out their respective groups in telling them what to look for. Also playing in the Meadowlands(i didnt know we are playing at New Orleans home field) will also help the Giants. I still think the Skins come out on top because of the Giants porous defense.
24-17 Skins

The big unknown variable in this game is going to be Plexico Burress. I think we will win the game, but the only question is by how much. If Plexico is out of there, that will represent a MAJOR LOSS of weapons for them, and our D will wreak havoc. I am hoping we are aiming at getting Plexico out of the game by a big-time hit from our hard-hitting leaders on Defense, remove Plexico and the Giants lose their NUMBER ONE threat.

Well being a DieHard NY Giants fan, you know I will disagree.
But first, let me introduce myself, I am the younger brother of NCskinsfanatic on this board. But, please, don't hate me for that.
I believe this will be a good game and will come down to who has less turnovers. Yes, our defense is not great. Our front seven I am not worried about, I am worried about the secondary. I will give the Redskins due credit with a good offense and a great defense.
Mark Brunell has stepped up the season and showed some people that he is not done (this is including myself). I give him all the credit in the world along with your OC in utilizing the skills of your players.
As for the giants, I am very impressed with our offense even with a 2nd year QB who still has aways to go, but please do give Eli credit, he is a decent QB and shows alot of potential.
As for the score of the game since this is a prediction thread:
NYG: 30 WAS: 27

Don't forget Brunell played with Coughlin, that should help Gibbs & co.

Eli is an excellent young quarterback, but Brunell is playing better. Plaxico will either sit or play hurt and he doesn't have a rep as a particularly tough player. We have handled Shockey in the past and will continue to do so. Tiki will have a typically solid game, but won't carry them consistently against our tough D.
The Skins will be able to move the ball against the #31 D and #31 pass D like we have all season. We'll dominate time of possession and field possession. Of course, if we turn the ball over, all my hypothesizing goes out the window. If we do that then its anybodies game, but I think we'll put together a complete effort on the road.
Skins 31, Giants 17

You do have to factor in Plexico into the equation, his health is a BIG variable right now. Without him, you have Toomer, Shockey, and Barber as receiving threats, and Barber and rookie for running. I like our chances of handling your receivers with our 3 first round-drafted cornerbacks. Eli can only be as good as the receivers he has, take his tall, favorite target away and what do you have? Double-coverage of your two receivers and a lineblocker covering your Running Back, which leaves many men in the box to stuff the run.
Our offense against your defense is another variable. If we play like we are capable of, we will win the time of possession, where we rank very highly and as they say, "The best defense is a good offense", we will keep your O off the field and our Defense well rested.
I am not a predictor, but I will go with my boys on this game, I think if we win this game it will be because of 2 reasons: High T.O.P. will keep your O off the field, and No turnovers will leave long fields for you to cover.

Yes, Plexico is a big question mark and a worry for me. I do believe he will play though and show up big for this game. Shockey of course probably will have his usual game (8-10 rec. 80-90 yds). If Plexico is out, we will have to change the game plan, we have to be ready for that. I am not saying that we will blow you out if Plexico is playing, and I'm not saying you will blow us out if Plexic is not playing. Its going to be a good game either way, reminds me of the old NFC East days.

I think this will be a very tough game for the Skins. Saying that, I think it will be tougher on the Giants. The Skins I believe are 4-0 after scoring 50+ points. I don't see the scoring slowing down much against the Giants. Thier pass D should let the Skins convert alot of first downs. Giving the TOP to the Skins. They should be better on the TO ratio, and they need to win the TO battle this week. If the Skins D can get pressure on Eli, which hasn't been easy, it could get ugly for the Giants. I'm sure glad the NFC East is back.

Shockey is playing like Burress: inconsistant. Burress has a huge chunk of his yards in one game, Shockey has half his yards in two games. If Burress is out, this could get ugly for the Giants, but he doesn't scare me that much. He ain't playing the Rams this week.

17-13 Skins.
The Giants will have a tough time containing our offense, and Eli will have some trouble with a complicated Gregg Williams defense. Portis punches another one in, and Brunell throws for another.

27-24 Skins. A big factor in this game is how the Giants react after the passing away of their owner. Emotional advantage or disadvantage? Honestly, I see it more as a disadvantage. They will score some points but remember they still need a back seven on defense to be a well rounded team.
HAIL VICTORY!!

While I think that we are a better team defensively than the Giants, I dont think this will be a cake walk. Statistically speaking NY's D may only rank slightly above the 49ers but you can throw all that out the window, this is a big game within our own division.
The Giants secondary is going to be under fire, although I dont expect us to display the offensive fireworks we did at home against the 49ers, I do expect us to continue to move the ball through the air, opening up running lanes for Portis and Betts.
The Giants do not possess the defense to shut down our O and our D is capable of containing even the most potent offenses. And IMHO neither of our former players(Hasslebeck or Pierce) are going to be able to do much. about it.
I predict it going a little like this.... Brunell to Cooley late in the 4th to take 4 point lead and secure the victory. Redskins 24 Giants 20.

10-28-2005, 06:56 PM
You know, we've talked alot about the famiarity of Pierce and Hasselback with our D and O respectively. What I forgot about was the familiarity that Tom Coughlin had with Brunell in Jacksonville. He probably knows Mark and his tendencies better than anybody. We have Griffin and Stoutmire on the D side of the ball for reference.
Maybe too much is being made of all this though. I really see our O Line holding their own vs the Giants D Line. I don't see the Giants blitzing and leaving their corners on an island and that will leave them sucseptible to our passing game. I think we come out guns a blazing and try to take the emotional crowd out of the game. If and when they key on the pass we'll unleash CP. I see us sustaining some long drives against a suspect D.
On D I am really concerned about Shockey. Barber and Toomer almost always have good games against us, but Shockey really worries me. He seems really tore up by the Mara death. Apparently Mara really helped Shockey out when he was going through rough times up there and Shockey remembers that. I see us going after Eli early and often and forcing him to make quick decisions. He is growing up quickly and we have to rattle him.
If we keep the TO battle even I see a 24-13 win for us.
HTTR!!!

i have a gut feeling we are going to blow them out. their defense is bad and our defense should be able to counter-act their offense. we showed what we can do with Shockey by the way we played Gonzalez, and we showed what we can do with Tiki by the way we played Priest Holmes, minus the long run on the screen pass, which was a great individual effort.
we win 34 to 13.

I predict David Patten will have a 100 yard game and Portis will have 125yds/2 TDs. Skins win 31-17 and Eli goes home with that "I feel like I wanna cry" look on his face.

1)We one our first 3 games by 6 points
2) we lost the next 2
3) We killed a team that does'nt have a QB or a D .
....................my point is while we are playing well the Giants are the #1 team in scoring in the NFL ,look at the Cowboy game for them and us then look at the Denver game , this game is going down to the wire and a field goal .

Exactly. Prior to the San Fran game the Skins averaged 16 points a game and for all the chest thumping done over "losses" to Denver and KC they very well could have also lost the Seahawks game except for a missed FG.
That said, I think the Skins move the ball on anyone right now and make it look easy while doing so. I believe the key to the game is just a matter of if the Skins are over their Redzone problems or not.

The key for this week's game is if the Giants can move the ball against a good defense(a very good secondary), something they haven't done this year. The other key is whether the Giants defense can slow down Santana Moss, something else that looks doubtful. The Skins have been hot inside the red zone of late, and the Giants defense isn't much better than San Fran's.

What does this have to do with anything? The Giants lost their last game against an NFC east team and barely won at home versus Denver(while giving up 191 rushing yards). So what?
3) We killed a team that does'nt have a QB or a D .

Eli has looked good against bad teams. And yes, the Skins looked great against a terrible defense, but they are facing a defense that isn't much better this week.

LaVar will get a sack in the first half, Manning will be under pressure all day. Our secondary is the strength of the D, our O is a lopsided match against one of the worst D's in the league. If we keep the pressure on Eli, then we win by 2 TD's or more. If we have to pull the pressure back some then it will be a 3 point game.

I think I'm going to have to agree with this...I think (like was said before,Moss will be double-teamed)that it's time for patten to have his major part in this offense.I don't think Portis gets quite that many yards...but somewhere around 95-100 and a score or 2.

Dallas turned the ball over 4 times and still won in OT against the Giants, Denver was up 13 with ten minutes left and choked. The Redskins could very well do either of these things against the Giants and lose, but if they don't I think they should win by at least a TD.
The Giants can't stop the Skins from moving the ball, dominating the clock, and controlling field position unless they take the ball away. Even if they do take the ball away they still have to score, and our opposition's points off of turnovers is pretty low. A fourth quarter collapse with our entire starting defense healthy doesn't seem too likely either. If we play a solid game I don't really see how we can lose to be honest, I'm not being overconfident because the Skins have been known to beat themselves this year (KC game anyone?), but the Giants are not strong enough on both sides of the ball to beat us without the Skins helping them out.

The Giants have given up more yards than any team in the NFL. Those stats may be misleading because they have played with big leads and their offense scores quickly, but no defense that has given up the most in the NFL is a "good" defense. They're not a good defense and the Redskins have moved the ball and controlled the clock on offense since week one. We were top ten in total offense before the San Fran game. Whether or not the Giants' defensive stats are misleading, they are not good enough to stop us from consistently moving the ball.
I don't believe we mirror the Giants, I believe we're better than them simply because our defense absolutely dwarfs theirs. They have won games decisively because of their ability to take the ball away, if they do that against us then they have a great chance, if we protect the ball then their offense will stay off the field, face long drives, and be forced to put up a significant amount of points on a top tier defense. The Giants are the highest scoring team in the league, but largely because of all the turnovers they get. In terms of yards they are only 15th. Their offense becomes a lot weaker if force them to play on a long field.
If we hold onto the ball we win, I don't see how they can beat us if we don't beat ourselves.

Skins 33 - Giants 16
Manning is far sharper than the Rookies we faced, yet as he said, he's still learning, so he has a range in the Patrick Ramsey area, with better feet movement, decision making. He also has the knack for pulling out big plays no matter how awkward it may look. His support group on offense is getting better at helping to bail him out and it can sting teams, who sleep on them with 14 or less points. This point range was the exact thing that either helped the Redskins or hurt them so far.
Look for the Skins to take this game like a playoff level game, because of the implications, however, should there be any notion of a letup, it could cost the Skins in the second half or even early in the very first few series. Thus the reason, for a Giants score somehow, and then a tightening up of the Skins when they know they have to wrap it up. With Hall back at kicking, the Skins should get close more than 2 times to ensure bonus points, off the running game and good mixture of medium range passes.
NY will look to mow down Brunell early and often to unsettle him and will hold, instead of giving up TD's, thus the reason for Hall's return to be more significant. The Giants can't afford to fall behind in the standings and will do pretty much anything across the board, even cower the refs, to get an edge.
The Skins defense isn't satisfied from last week. They may feel more could have been done, so this doesn't help the Giant's cause.

I think we will start to convert those yards into points. The offense is getting better and throughout the season so far it seems as if the Skins are getting monkeys off their back. It started with the Dallas game to turnovers, rushing touchdowns and scoring in the SF game. I believe the Skins have broken the seal in all areas and now its time for a good old fashioned arse whooping of an NFC East foe.
This game does have me tense but I believe we will prevail. I think we need to get a couple of good shots on Eli early, protect the ball and then we'll win 31-17

Since the Giants defense is about the same as the 49ers I think we will score over 40 points.

My prediction is Redskins 42 Giants 21.

Eli has looked good against bad teams. And yes, the Skins looked great against a terrible defense, but they are facing a defense that isn't much better this week.
I think Eli is the real deal and the Giants offense is the best we have seen all year. I think it will be a nailbiter either way.

Moving the ball and actually culminating the drives with points are two different things Akh. The Giants have scored on everyone they have played with the exception of Dallas who also gave you guys trouble.
I agree that on paper this is a mismatch if you rely on yardage.
Points wise however tells a different story thus my point that the key will be the Skins putting 7 on the board after their long drives.
Remember prior to San Fran you had 400 yard or close to 400 yard games in which 21 points scored was your high water mark.
If the Skins ala the San Fran game punch the ball in after their long time consuming drives they should win comfortably.

Like I said, the Giants defense isn't much better than San Fran(talentwise and statistically), and Eli can't score if the Skins offense is on the field. And yes, the Giants have scored well this year, except when they face a competent defense like Dallas.

See, I think KC's offense was more balanced and just better across the board. I've seen several giants games this year and while they have run up the score a couple times, they really aren't that impressive to me. I don't get how Eli goes from young Qb with potential before the Denver game, struggles for 3 quarters to do anything, has a great 4th quarter(but frankly against the Prevent defense) and all of a sudden he's his brother. Smacks of NY media bias to me.

Even though we should pummel their D with our air attack, I think thiis is a HUGE divsion game. Turnovers are key. But, the skins are going to win this one. I do see a turnover or two at the worst bouncing the GInts way, just the way I see it. But our D will overcome and get 2 themselves.
That being said, I say we win comfortably.

Yes but then again you have to look at the last 3 games, especially the ones we lost to see why our points total was low compared to the yards we got. Simple. Turnovers, a blocked field goals. I think we have all said if we turn the ball over we will be in trouble. If we don't however NO WAY the Giants win this. Their defense is just not good against the pass and right now Brunell is HOT. I mean if we are going to say Eli is hot (much lower numbers actually than Brunell) going against a very good D with all its starters back then why not say Brunell is going to have a field day with that secondary.
Honestly I believe we are 6-0 this year...but damm it the NFL also counts it when you beat yourself. Imagine that.

Based on what I've seen of the Redskins (amazing progress and growth by the offense, in addition to the allready superior defense), I think that barring injury or multiple turnovers on our part, the Skins are ready to break out and claim their place among the top five or six teams in the NFL.
SKINS 30 NY 13
If I were a betting man, I'd be all over Skins +3.

We would have swept this team last year if not for all the turnovers in the first meeting.
We are twice as good as we were last year. I don't believe in my heart that the Jints have outpaced us on improving this year. I think if we don't turn it over and don't kill ourselves with penalties, we will win, 31-14.

I think our O-Line will perform well for Brunnell again this week, Portis will have 150yard game, Santana Moss will slice up the Giants (100+yard), Cooley will emerge again as a threat and Patten will emerge for us this game.
And the Giants Offense will get pressured and their WR's will be pressed and probaly picked a few times as well.
FINAL SCORE: SKINS 31-21 GIANTS

Ball control is the key to victory. We should let the play clock run down to 1 sec before any snap. Run the ball grind it out and hit them w/ the playaction long ball.
1st play of the game we blitz Lavar at Manning and Taylor at Burress and level the both of them. The 2ndary should stay physical against Burress the whole game.

I agree with most of this, but if Burress(and his top backup) and Gibril Wilson are out for sunday's game, this could get ugly.
With Burress:
Skins 31
Giants 20
Without Burress:
Skins 38
Giants 17

Burress will be a non factor tomorrow in my mind if he plays. He's not a tough player and the first time he touches the ball he'll take one of those patented pile drive hits from Taylor into the dirt. He'll sit for the rest of the game after that.

ball control is key. also thrid downs. the gianst play very poor on thrid downs on both sides of the ball.
gaints conversion rates on third down
0-37 percent-lol what a joke
d-50 percent- lol u gotta be kidding me
redskins 3rd down conversion rate
0-49 percent
d-37 percent
next in the gianst loss to dallas they had only 1-11 third downs and 21 minutes of clock. 21 minutes lol
thats hopw we will beat them. gibbs style babay
i think it will be 21-14 something like that. they get a late td and try for the opnside taylor recovers brunell takes the knee lol

Turnovers are the name of the game! We must limit ours. Even if we only have 1 turnover and no take aways I think we'll win this game. I don't think Shockey will have a big game. Neither will Tiki. They'll have good games but not big enough to get them over the hump. I trust our offense will continue to do well. If NY blitzes it will spell doom. They must double Moss, which will leave Patton 1-on-1 w/a newbie and then Cooley will occupy the middle. I'd like to see Portis catch a few passes in the flat as well. Brunell spreads the ball around so the already challenged defense of the Giants cannot key in on one guy. Final prediction: Was 23, NY 20.

But they always seem to pull out in the 4th quarter so the skins need to get up early and as the HTTR says "Fight on, Fight on, til you have WON!

I know that some people could call me crazy but i'm putting it out there anyway.
31-7 SKINS
You heard it here first!
I think more along the lines of 24-13 victory for the Skins.
By the way your avatar is classic.

Looking at both squads on paper tells me the Skins should win handily.
I will factor in the passing of Mara and say the Giants don't lose at home today though.
23-19 Jints.

I think Eli is the real deal and the Giants offense is the best we have seen all year. I think it will be a nailbiter either way.
I thought the same thing man was I wrong .

Dallas turned the ball over 4 times and still won in OT against the Giants, Denver was up 13 with ten minutes left and choked. The Redskins could very well do either of these things against the Giants and lose, but if they don't I think they should win by at least a TD.
The Giants can't stop the Skins from moving the ball, dominating the clock, and controlling field position unless they take the ball away. Even if they do take the ball away they still have to score, and our opposition's points off of turnovers is pretty low. A fourth quarter collapse with our entire starting defense healthy doesn't seem too likely either. If we play a solid game I don't really see how we can lose to be honest, I'm not being overconfident because the Skins have been known to beat themselves this year (KC game anyone?), but the Giants are not strong enough on both sides of the ball to beat us without the Skins helping them out.
They stopped us today .
