Game Thread: Week 3: Raiders @ Redskins

we need a win either here or the following week to be 2-2 into the bye

 

[deanpet21]

I had the team at 2-2 at the bye in my predictions. Lets hope Kc steps up again. It's going to be tough for the defense to shut down there offense.

I had us at 1-3 going into the bye. I figured the opening day loss because....well....that's what we do. Then the win yesterday, followed by 2 straight losses for these two reasons:

1. The predicted strength of the AFCW (the early returns against our division aren't promising)

2. Both are Nationally televised games, Oakland on NBC Sunday night and @ KC on the following Monday. If history is an indicator, and it held true on opening day, then it doesn't bode well for these two games.

Even after the win yesterday we are a -3.5 dog at home vs the Raiders.

Way too early.

But, since I'm here............the Raiders win, 27-16.

I'm pretty impressed with what your team is building these days. I haven't seen this much potential since the Madden through Marcus Allen days......Congrats.

TY.

And I expect your team to put it together soon.....but it sucks KC has Pryor as his main guy. He's best suited to being a #2 WR/red zone target.

I think it'll be a competitive game for a half and think we'll pull away in the 2nd half.

even when Garcon & Jackson were here last season Jordan Reed received the majority of the looks ... so he is the true #1

but between his chest contusion & big toe issues he most likely be a game time decision.

what up with Amari Cooper ?

has crabtree bumped him to the #2 spot ?

my fantasy team would like some answers, lol

I assumed Pryor was the #1 with the most targets.

I don't know to be honest. I have Carr, Cooper, and Lynch on my FF team. Crabtree has been great since we signed him away from SF and is off to a great start this season.

TY, I also find it interesting that our team is finally beginning to build something here. The thing that I'm truly interested in seeing is this next off season. I wonder if there will be another Scot McCloughan hiring/firing of some sort in order to garner info from him again with relation to the draft.

This game usually gives us an indication of the true nature of teams, they are fired up for openers, are more or less competitive in their second games and become what they will be all season long in game 3. I'm not thoughtfully certain what to make of our team this year, but his game will certainly help settle my mind.

If I were Washington I'd go with more 2 TE set's, especially near the goal line.

Use Reed and Davis together. Also with Pryor? That's a lot of options for KC.

 

[Krusheasy]

if Reed is unable to go this week ... we might be forced to ...

UNLEASH THE SPRINKLE

DILLY, DILLY

 

[reptec101]

Two QB's with similar stats last two seasons going head to head. Should be interesting. Though I believe Raiders have the better team and will probably win the game I believe also the Redskins will put up a good fight with a chance to win it in the end. Can KC lead another drive at the end. To be continued...

Reed is a great receiving TE and terrible blocker. We run some 22, not much 13 personnel though. Too many TEs that can't block.

But, in goal-line situations, it's usually a quick release. Say at the 5-6 yard line. Hike the ball, let them run and throw the ball to the best option.

I mentioned in yesterday's game. How come everyone in the NFL can spring a TE in the end zone but not us. Two years ago Reed had 9 TD catches I think.

Maybe a roll out and slip a TE in the back of the end zone and a RB shallow. I mean that play never works, right?

 

[skinsdad62]

both the raiders and the chiefs are better then us . we need to run the ball very well to be competitive and KC has to make plays that are there

Corner fades......I see them all the time.....in my dreams, and everywhere I go!!! Argggggggggggggggg
