Been a Washington Redskins Fan since 1967. Lots of ups and downs. Mostly downs since 1992. I like what we did to the Giants on Sunday. Remains to be seen if its real or a fantasy down the road.

Well, we just squeaked by this week, but the Skins are 2 and 0. We only have to win 4 more games to equal last year's record. I'm hoping for a winning season this year. It will be a while before we visit the Super Bowl again, for sure. But I see signs of life.   :cheersmate:

The Packer game was tough to watch at times but interesting.

The Eagles at Falcons game was very exciting. I was pulling for the Falcons just because I can't stand Philly fans but highly entertaining no matter who won.

You guys could well go 3-0. The Boys just squeaked by the 9ers yesterday, and have a couple more devastating injuries. Including Miles Austin.

A former co-worker of mine, who is a self-denying moonbat (in that he denies that he's one, but everyone who knows him knows better), is also a Buffalo Bills fan.  He had them winning four games this year.  Three games into the season, he's 75% there.

Bills fell off. And then there were 2. Packers/Lions. We don't play each other until Week 12 either. Lot can happen in 8 weeks.

Another squeaker for the 'Skins.  :mad: They have me worried. Great defense, but their offense is not up to par. Grossman may be familiar with the 3-4 but he doesn't have the arm to avoid those ridiculous interceptions. We're not going anywhere til we find a decent quarterback. I'd like to give Beck a chance to see if we can drive that offense.

Rooting for the Bears is almost evil, but I have to to put the Pack in better position.

On a better note, we get St. Louis @ Lambeau next Sunday.  :-)

I actually have been saying since the end of Week 2 that it would be the Ravens vs. Packers in XLVI, but now with Buffalo showing they're for real, I'm not so sure.

It will either be Packers vs Ravens, Bills, or Patriots in XLVI.

It was nice of the 49ers to take the Lions down a peg.

The Packer's playing style has me on edge at times.  Green Bay at Detroit wasn't pretty last year.

Meh. We'll have to see. Minnesota is done from the start. (I can think that way, but the Pack CAN'T!) I think Ponder is going to look more like a Ryan Leaf than a John Elway against our D. They're having o-line problems as well.

I wanna cry!! :banghead: My Redskins aren't cutting it, once again. I don't know why they switched quarterbacks. Grossman has proven he can't win and Beck needs playing time. We haven't had consistency since Joe Gibb's resigned the first time, revolving doors with coaches and quarterbacks plus no depth in the front line.  :argh:  Don't know what to do!!

It's slightly possible the Skins could get Luck, but I dunno. I would wish upon the Skins that they draft a QB in the first round, and then concentrate on the O-line. That should cure what ails them. (if they dropped Shanahan though, that might really help)

On another note, my Packers are going to take out the Vikes tonight at Lambeau. Period!  :hyper:

It is so hard to say because Detroit has been so inconsistent. I think it will be close but the Packers will squeak out another victory +3.

Unless Detroit totally collapses.

Looking at the Matchup stats on the NFL'11 app, the Packers have a slight edge except in defensive rushing yards. And defensive points. So yeah, Packers should win by 6 but it is Thanksgiving and it is a Detroit tradition and it is the first year in many, many years when Detroit actually has a team.

I figure the Lions will get the better of the penalty yardage too. Green Bay is due for a let down game and to win on the road in the NFL isn't easy for any team.

Don't you know, Odin? Lion cooked up on Thanksgiving is a wonderful meal.

Seriously though. our D has slouched a bit, but that's only because 1. Our high octane offense can take care of things. However, the defense shouldn't rely on the other 11 for everything. 2. #52 is being double, and triple covered. Without Jenkins to get some offensive heat of his own on the line, Clay is less effective. However, Mike Neal just came back Sunday. Didn't do much of anything, but he's getting back into the swing of things.

I say the Pack roll to 11-0. +3.

I'm a bit worried but while the Giants of today may be the Giants of 2007, the Packers of today aren't the Packers of 2007.

There is the SI curse to consider, though. Which is the same as 2007.
