Prediction Friday......Who's time is it to take control?

[Stymietee]

With an early Saturday kickoff for what appears to be a division crown for the winner, a season of fits and starts will come down to delivering a potential knockout blow in a division that will only have one entrant in this years playoffs. By now, you all know the questions:

1. Who wins this one and final score?
2. Who will be the player of the game?
3. What will be the play of the game?
4. What will be the watercooler hot topic coming out of this one?

 

[Breed]

Skins 34-23
Cousihs high rate of comp/300+yards/3 TD passes
JC's first TD catch of the year as Cousins finally hits him from 30-35 yd out
Half of Skins fans will be riding Cuz's jock thinking he's the best Skins QB since Sammy Baugh and talking Super Bowls, and hall of Fame induction. The other half will be saying calm the fuck down and why do you motherfuckers do this shit every motherfucking time?.

 

[skinsdad62]

eagles win 29 -0 as all the good will from KC will vanish as he yet again wilts on the national TV stage

calls for grudens head will follow with tyrod taylor being the favorite to be the skins starting qb

 

[j_y19]

All I can say is this game has me worried. Too many think we should win. This team has yet to prove that they deserve to be anything more than an average team. I hope we win, but won't be surprised if we don't. I also am concerned that KC starts to believe his press clippings. One could argue he is due for an off game. I just don't have a good feeling........

this has all the earmarks of the dallas game . we havent shown we can rise to the challenge yet . look its a young team and they have never gone through a season when they are threats to win the title the moment could be too big for them

we havent played well in the spot light or on the road we have a young qb who hasnt faced this challenge before
we havent won 3 games in a row yet as a team we are a 500 ball club

now for me too " expect " a win under these circumstances to me is pure homerism . i sure as hell want one. i sure as hell think they have a great shot too , but i dont " expect " it

and i wont stomp around the board like a spoiled child if they dont . i will accept it as part of the learning process from a team who has far exceeded expectations in my opinion

when this team proves it can win big games then i will expect it until then i will wait and see but that doesnt mean i am not thrilled by the teams direction and showing this season . its a job well done and a few more productive drafts and we will be there

You got a funky definition of homerism. And damn! Its the freakin 2015 Philadelphia Eagles, winner of 6 games and loser of 8 games, the Skins are playing Saturday. Not the 1960s Packers, 70s Steelers, early/mid 90s Cowboys or early 2000s Pats. An Eagles team the Redskins have already beaten this year. Buck up just once and have some positive expectations. As opposed to being a negative nancy all the damn time afraid that the sky is falling.

 

[gkekoa]

After my huge debacle prediction...this week I am backing the Skins...

38-24 skins
KC throws for 5 TDs and 400 yards.
Cooler talk...division baby

 

[Buffalo_Nickel_1]

eagles blow the redskins out because the refs will be all over the redskins and we will just give up, kirk will have to long td bombs but they will get called back ,skins fans will be mad because we was so close and at the sametime we hurt are draft statis final score eagles 34 skins 10

 

[skinzfan]

Cousins throws 3 INT in first quarter, replaced by RG3 who throws for 2 scores, runs for two more, Redskins lose by FG, Snyder holds a presser, names RG3 as next years starter.

look i know you think that a whole whopping one game better in the standings means we should dominate the eagles on their field but again to feel the eagles are a pushover and we should beat them going away is homerism

then we will hear you bitch all week if we lose about how ate up the team is because we didnt beat a rival at their place who was a game worse then us in the standings and that we barely beat at home when we did play them

sorry but we cant mail this game in

 

[Sportster 72]

This is not a prediction or a statement of which team is better but the Eagles are the one who beat two teams with a winning record. I think the Redskins have a good shot but I am not dismissing the Iggles in a (most likely) winner take all game.

At the same time I hope DJax says "ha ha" and gets 150 yards and 2 TDs.

 

[Stymietee]

@Shark has finally convinced me that there is a greedy underlying operation in play by the NFL powers to be. Therefore my prediction this week is as follows:

Final score, a 3, 7, 10, 17, 21 or some shit form of a triple overtime tie, keeping everyone viable via 6th thru 9th tiebreaker if they even exist.

Players of the game Trent Williams and Jason Peters

Watercooler talk.......Tie breaker scenarios

 

[Darrell Green Fan]

Yeah I agree this smells of the Dallas game only worse, it's on the road. Sorry I'm with Dad and j_y, we stink on prime time night games and until that changes I just can't pick them.

31-27 Eagles. We get down early, then get back in it but never get it done.

 

[Caliskinsfan]

I feel good about our chances tonite. It's strange, I usually have less than optimistic expectations but for some reason I feel more confident than usual. Team just feels different to me in terms of attitude and focus.

I expect a close division battle. But I'd LOVE a revenge blowout similar to what Vick put up on us during the Monday Night Massacre.

Thinking something like 28-24 Skins

 

[Sportster 72]

Toss up ... that is what happens in division games and even more so when they are for a playoff berth.

Very true. While I do think we will win, wouldn't shock me at all if we didn't either.

 

[Sportster 72]

First time I have been antsy in a long time. I am ready to run OT ..... luckily for the Redskins and me that won't be happening. The couch could be in trouble tonight.

Me too. Totally hyped up!!!!!!

Best friends husband is a rabid Philly fan. Typical Jersey boy. We've been at it all week squabbling like crazy. Some serious smack being laid down

 

[Sportster 72]

GF is a Jersey girl, from outside of Philly. She knows if she talks any smack I'm going to square her up coming through the hole. Of course I am kidding.

She told her friend who is a Raven's fan and said she wouldn't be watching tomorrow because she is tired of losing that "I watched all the Skins games no matter how bad it got." I am not sure if that is a compliment or not.

 

[Sharkinva]

We lose by three making next weeks games in the NFC East have some sort of meaning. Philly will win it on a bogus call of pass interference on Kirk Cousins pushing the DE down after a ball gets batted in the air. Philly will get the turn over on downs as we will also take a loss of down because the ball never got back to the line of scrimmage thus Kirk was trying to intentionally ground it. The penalty and yards will put Philly on our 2 yard line with 1 second left. Field goal, game over.
