Battered Skins Could Be In For Major Slide

[BAM]

The offense, not potent to begin with, is likely to be without its starting left tackle, right guard, top receiver, tight end and running back for a tough task against the Bills this week.

So we're both beat up. I watched the game vs Carolina and they didn't look good. I still think we beat them. Thing that worries me is their pass rush but I think we can overcome that by using quick passes. Bills 23-13

I dunno man, OP has made a good point...after going through customs, the Bills will be lacking motivation

Good article. When they talked about Carriker, Kerrigan and Orakpo, it reminded me strongly of another team we've played already: the Chiefs. They've got a stud pass rusher (Hali/Orakpo), a rookie OLB (Houston/Kerrigan), and a pretty good pass rusher on the DL (Gilberry, Carriker).

But then the Chiefs seem to have a better run D (4.1 YPC vs. 4.6 for the Redskins).

I think we can also overcome their pass rush with a heavy dose of Fred Jackson running the ball, some touches for CJ, mixing in the wildcat, and some quick screens and shovel passes.

And Megamind has two weeks to gameplan.

Bills are going to come out flying, then we can watch Washington take their chances passing.

Re: Battered Skins Could Be In For Major Slide

One thing I was a little shocked to read is how well teams have run the ball against them the past two weeks. 367 yards (4.9/carry) is a lot. Great news for FredEx Delivery.

I think we need to make Shanahan remember that he passed on Buffalo.

I agree but it's up to Gailey to prove that we were lucky that Shanahan passed on us.

Yep.

I'd crank up the blitz.

The WAS replacements could be decent players, but I assume their game time is minimal. So they probably will have difficulty picking it up.


Were I WAS, I'd put a spy on Fred and make him a non-factor.

Here's to hoping we're not slump-busters this week

Seriously. No need for any more playoff talk if we can't beat a broken down redskins team.

Re: Battered Skins Could Be In For Major Slide

as bad as the injury bug has been for the bills, they aren't carrying themselves like the broken unit washington is. i get the sense shanahan has worn out his welcome with these players.
