peyton vs rg3

[CR91]

Kinda surprised this isn't getting more attention. Sure rg3 and the redskins aren't doing that good, but they looked good vs the bears and its another future meets past type of matchup

[Nobody]

Against a Bears team minus Urlacher, Melton, Briggs, Cutler, etc.

[21isSuperman]

The Redskins defense is scaring anyone.  And RG3 has not been playing well this year.  That's why I think there's a lack of attention to this game

[Synthetic]

I take it you guys are bored.

 

What kind of attention should this game gets besides the usual Manning is God quotes?

[MAC]

Well, it's for all intents and purposes a nationally televised game, so someone must think it's going to be interesting. Perhaps they're just too tired from last week to start blabbing about just it.

WE'RE bored. What were you hoping to accomplish exactly? 

 

I'm sure that there would be equal parts "Griffin is God" quotes.

 

What kind of quotes should it generate? Bree's is God quotes? When he's actually playing in a contest there are plenty of them - funny how that works.

[SkyBane]

They are waiting to see RG3 go up against that bad Denver pass D so he can put numbers up against 2 wounded ducks in a row and proclaim his resurgence. The hype is going to be post game on this one.

[Guest TeamLoloJones]

Its the bad defense/previously injured quaterback bowl.

Its not like the broncos d is any better and this will also be shanny's first time against the broncos

[SkyBane]

Its not like the broncos d is any better and this will also be shanny's first time against the broncos

But unlike Peyton, the fans of both the old and new team loathe Shanny.

The Redskins have underperformed terribly this year.  No one cares when a really good team is playing an average team.  If the Colts were winless when we played the Broncos, there wouldn't have been as much attention paid to the game.  No one wants to watch the Jags play the Raiders, but everyone will want to watch the Saints play the Seahawks.

[Qwiz]

Ah, I didn't realize that this is Shanahan's first game against his old team. That should've been generating headlines but nope, nothing so far.

Even if the Seahawks and saints were both 2-4 people would wanna watch. Its Peyton vs rg3. Thats enough to draw interest

Why? The redskins are a speed bump this week. Manning will shread that skins d.

What reason do you hate Peyton Manning for?

[CR91]

No way. This will be a shoot out watch

[jvan1973]

No way. This will be a shoot out watch

it might get to within two tds in garbage time

[SkyBane]

Probably will be. The skins still lose in a shootout though. That is the game Manning wants them to play.

I have a feeling theres an upset in the works

[IndyScribe]

That would be embarrassing.

[SkyBane]

How? The skins defense is abysmal. They couldnt stop a car with the the emergency brake on. The offense is good, but nowhere near Denver's calibur. The closest it could be to being an upset is if the skins make a game of it and it becomes a shootout. This isnt rocket science. The Redskins are bad. Denver isnt. Denver should win handily, even with that thing they pretend is a defense, because the Redskins defense is just as bad. Maybe worse.

[Truckin Sanders]

Watching them race in the 40 would be more entertaining than the game.

their defense is nothing special and redskins are gonna be motivated to win for their coach and besides weird things happen in the nfl

[jvan1973]

Josh Mcown put up good numbers on that d. What do you think Peyton is gonna do

[Carlos Danger]

Kind of anticlimactic after week 7... 

[SkyBane]

Nobody gets motivated for Shanahan. Hes one of the least likeable coaches. If it werent for Schiano, I would say least liked period.

I'd rather see Rich Eisen racing Griffin and Cam...it'd be one of the most epic races ever

They prepared for cutler not mccown. All you can do when theres a new QB is blitz

[Qwiz]

Close enough lol

[stat2883]

I anticipate the skins leaning heavily on the run game for as long as they can keep it close. If Griffin has a lot of passing yards, I suspect it will be from playing catch-up.

...I'm as big a Griffin supporter as there is on these boards, but no way do I think these two belong in the same breath at this time.

[bestQBever]

yeah, and it is the best game this week. ( not that that's saying much since this week is snooze fest)

[southwest1]

Its not like the broncos d is any better and this will also be shanny's first time against the broncos

No, it really boils down to which DC do you have more confidence in to tighten the screws & revamp the D: Jim Haslett or Jack Del Rio? My money is on Jack everytime in that head to head matchup. 

 

Hasslett will be fired once the Skins season ends IMO. 

[Vance]

On a serious note, has any team played the number 1 and 2 overall draft pick QBs (same year) two weeks in a row?

[SkyBane]

Probably 1 and 2. Not sure about QB. Both 1 and 2 being QB is somewhat rare on its own.

[Jules]

I would think a saints fan posting on a colts board screams boredom more so than this thread

 

He's my friend who I originally invited over here a while ago. He means no real harm....he's just sarcastic. lol.

[Andy]

Manning will torch this defense, plain and simple. I expect a blowout.

[coltsfanatic24]

This is the one of the few times ill root for the Redskins to win because if they beat Denver, it helps our chances of getting a #1 seed and first round bye(The Chiefs will lose at least 4 games because their schedule gets harder). So RG3, Morris and their defense needs to play great to knock off the Broncos.
