Sean Salisbury is the correct guy about our game against Atlanta. Why does everyone always pick against us. I just can't see us losing to the falcons unless mike vick buys a new leg and puts it on as if it was his. Joe and Mark two ex-skins pick against us as well:mad:

We will win, i think
24-10

Mark seems to have an ax to grind with the Skins. Did he leave on bad terms? He always speaks bad about us.

I hope everyone picks agaisnst us. It gives me even more hope.

Atlanta gave up 403 yards to Dallas!!!!!

I heard Mark(Stink as they call him on ESPN radio) on the Mike and Mike show last year and he pretty much said he hated Dan Snyder and would never have any use for the Skins until they changed ownership.

I think they are legit picks. Listen guys, this team comes with hype every year since 1999, but every year we see the team fold and quit. To get respect, you gotta earn respect.

We will not (and should not) earn respect unless we beat the Giants and Eagles

Even then I hope the 'experts' keep picking against us.

Unless Snyder did something to him of a personal nature then that approach of his is petty and immature.

I totally agree that may be the most immature thing I've ever heard. the man is trying to run a football team, he's doing it his way. Schlereth may not like it his way but unless he's involved in that orginization he should not "hate" Snyder.

This game is big. This is a game that we would totally walk into thinking we got it and get punched in the mouth. If the Skins can overlook all the injuries and win a game that they can (should), then i think we are onto something.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but didnt Snyder let Schlereth come back as so he could retire a redskin??????

I dont think its that absurd to pick the falcons at home.I think tne games probably going to be decided by a field again.Maybe for once Sean's got it right.

No, I believe that was Raleigh McKenzie.

We should beat the Falcons. We cover better with our corners than Dallas, our one problem could be Alge. TE do good against us.

What I find funny is the Dolphins lose at home to a bad team and we lose on the road to a decent team(relax, you guys could end up being pretty good but right now we all have alot to prove still) yet Miami is favored by 3 at NY and all the "experts" picked the 'Phins. Add to the fact that we have won 9 of 10 against Miami and they haven't won here since 1997. I don't get it.

Wow, that's a pretty remarkable consensus in the Falcons game. But who cares what they think anyway? All you need to know about the Redskins-Falcons game will be found in the hR Game Preview, out later today.

Anyone remember last week's "expert" picks? I'd be curious to see who picked us to win vs. Jets.

Let them keep sleeping on the skins, they'll come around.

I think most of the negativity is with our coach and not our players. I think these experts want to see SS coach like he did last week ... they will keep picking against us if he goes back to the QB carousel, or the outrageous pass/run ratio, or going for it on 4th down from the other teams 35 yard line.

Yeah...and every one of those guys would have had an extra notch in their win column last week had they taken the Skins.

I'll bet they start realizing our potential after this Sunday.

Pro Football Weekly is also picking Atlanta.

Each of these experts are saying that Dallas sucks yet the Cowboys were favored by 3 over these same Falcons. Has the perception of Atlanta changed because of a win over Dallas? If so why has the perception of the Redskins not changed? Apparently the Jets suck worse than the Cowboys. 1 and 1/2 is usually the advantage given a home team.
