Washington wins by 4

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Skins win by 17... Awful matchup for Minny's defense.

Isn't it a pretty bad match up for the Skins defense though considering how bad they are against the run? Now given the Skins will always be at a disadvantage on defense no matter who they play. Still have the Skins winning this one and RGIII having a big game in this one.

It is, both D's are awful, but I have 0 faith in any level of the Vikings D to slow down the Redskins O unless it stops itself.

Believe it or not, skins have actually done a good job with AP in the past 4 years. Means nothing tonite, of course, week to week league and all that.

I'm more concerned about our STs and Corderrelle Patterson, and think this and TOs will be the biggest difference in who wins, in a typical ugly Thursday night game.

I see skins losing a close game or coming up with a big win.

Who's watching this crap? Too much good shit on TV to watch

Watching to see RGIII as I am wanting to record and then look at the throws. ( Yeah, I do that)

That, and each time an NFC East team wins, people can be just a tiny bit quieter about KC's schedule.

Apparently not you. Good riddance, yawn.

didn't even know this game existed until now. NFL network blows. less than half the country can watch this trash if they even wanted to.

Atleast it is still better than ESPN's coverage.

The only way I can watch thursday games is if I watch vipbox. Thank god they only choose crap games to show.

All 32 teams actually play on TNF, they have to play someone on Thursday.

Griff has been steadily improving, but has had typical set backs with accuracy and reading his route trees, as a second year rookie will. Not to mention one who's also returning from major knee surgery. The good news is that he looks to be regaining his old form and tonight will be a great test for him on the field. When he plays well, he really elevates the rest of our offense. He is a game changer, no doubt.

NFCeast is no longer the worst division in football. Still bad, but no longer the worst.

Had no idea. Guess the Packers play on Thursday against the Lions. Wouldn't you know its a Thanksgiving game though. So not on NFL Network.

Skins better cover the spread tonight. I picked them in my weekly office pool

I definitely grabbed that suspicion after watching a few of Griffin's games casually in 2013, but it stuck out the most for me personally against the Broncos, but I didn't record that game or I would be more assertive on my opinions of that game. Always interesting to see the routes develop and see how the QB, if he can, responds.

Yup, Griff had arguably the worst game of his career against the Broncos. Actually looked like he had completely regressed, and if not for a much better game from him against San Diego, I would be very worried. He's seen a ton of blitzes this year, many more than last year and this has led to some poor decision making. Hasn't helped that our Oline and offense is predicated upon a mobile pocket and a strong run game. When those elements have been present, we've looked alright, even great at times. Also, execution has been a huge issue. Last game, we definitly executed better, but still have lots of opportunity to improve, in every phase of the game.

Tonight will be a great opportunity for us to finally have a more complete game. Tho, I just don't have confidence in our STs. No reason I should, based on the new and inventive ways they have redefined the word, "special" this year.

Um, where was this late hit?
