This week's opponent

bobbything · 09-27-2017, 08:05 AM

Some pretty decent analysis in there, but also some "yeah...no" analysis. One guy said, "Smith will throw INTs." Well, I've been as critical of Alex Smith as anyone, but it's not because he turns the ball over. It's arguably his greatest asset, in that he doesn't turn the ball over. Last year, in the two home losses, he did throw late-game interceptions, but those were anomalies. You can focus on those, but we gave up like 150 yards on the ground in both games as well.

I'm honestly so cautious with this team that I don't know what to make of it all. They look no different from any other team that Reid has coached here. Except, there just seems to be this level of confidence about them that hasn't been there in year's past. With Hill being a legitimate deep threat, Kelce being Steady Eddie, and Hunt seemingly emerging as a superstar, maybe that confidence is warranted.

That said, we've all been burned by this team come playoff time.

With regard to the Skins, I haven't seen much of them this year. What they did to the Raiders was incredibly impressive. However, I haven't really been on the Raid-train the last few years. They seem like the diet version of Green Bay from a few years ago. Maybe in another year or two, Carr will channel his inner Rogers and essentially carry them to a Super Bowl, but their defense just sucks.

From what I have seen of Washington, their QB is what we've all been clamoring for since the Blackledge debacle. They seem to have big-play ability and Cousins isn't afraid to toss it around out there. Their defense looks solid, if not spectacular. My prediction...

Since this is a MNF game at home, that really gives us an advantage. Our defense just seems to be be on another level right now. Not in terms of a pure shut-down defense, but they seem to pick and choose their times just perfectly to deny the other team. Yeah, they are prone to giving up a few chunks, but it's almost a bait tactic. They allow a team to get comfortable by rattling off 7, 8, 10 yard plays, and then they lock down, or force a turnover.

Our offense has been feast of famine—and perhaps that's by design. I'm glad that Hunt didn't get the brunt of the workload last week. We will need him in week 18/19/20. The old, "Get the lead, play conservative" plan seems to work. I just don't want too much pressure put on the defense. Each game, it seems that we get one big play from Hill and Hunt. Then we piecemeal another scoring drive with duct tape and bubble gum. Again, maybe by design, but against Washington, we might be forced to open it up a little more (ala New England).

Given how high-profile a game this is at Arrowhead, and that Cousins will not hesitate to spin it, I am going to say that this will be a (relatively) high scoring game, with a turnover from Cousins deciding it. Our front line has been getting better each week. They throw so many different looks out there. That stunt that was run to get Houston was great.

If this were in Washington, I'd go with the Skins. But because it's at home, I'll pick KC.

31-28

Molitoth · 09-27-2017, 09:21 AM

Anytime the media sees highly prolific offenses going at it, they predict big scoring games and it seems like the opposite normally happens.

I want to predict that this will be a slop-fest on both sides, turning it into a defensive battle. We've already seen Alex Smith go back into his cautious shell and I see a missed field goal or two by the chiefs. The skins will focus on stopping the run game.

13-10 Redskins.

I hope I am wrong. Trying to CoMo this for the rest of you all.... =)

Re: Redskins vs Chiefs Pregame Thread

I can't see how KC pulls this off, my only fear is this may be a trap game for us.

Assuming we don't play to KC's level we win 35 to 7. Don't even ask me how KC gets a TD I am just throwing them some symptom.

HTTR!

Nah..Rivers put his team in a 14-0 hole. Reid saw no reason to put his game plan on tape unless he needed to.

You can blame Smith...but it was Reid that turtled. They threw one pass to Kelce...and he's their best offensive player (for now).

As boring as it was...it was brilliant too. Win and walk away not showing your hand...

You can't be serious. KC runs the same dam concepts every game, Reid just mixes up the personnel/formations. They ran the same plays last week as they did week 1 vs the Pats.

**wazu** · 09-28-2017, 06:54 AM

Most Skins fans seem to expect they will lose a close one. Fun to read the reverence for the power of Arrowhead on Monday Night. Hope we live up to it.

lol, one dude said, he watched all the Chiefs games and they lost Charles, but didnt replace him. lol wtf?

This is what he said. lol "They got rid of Charles. They didn't really replace him either. What that's done is make the offense rely on the passing game and big plays on offense."

lol

BUT MAH FANTASY TEAM!!!

Best22 · 09-28-2017, 07:12 AM

I'm scared. I mean, we already beat the 2007 Patriots (week 1) and the 1996 Packers (Eagles), but these guys are comparing themselves to the 1991 Redskins

.

If we win on Monday, that would have to make us the GOAT team
