WOW Nobody seem to see us winning this Sunday.

[P'Son]

Keep in mind, I said they would be 0-8 at the bye.

 

[Malakai432]

I honestly wouldn't put $ on this game.  It wouldn't surprise me if the Colts came out with a win tomorrow.  I would still project them to lose but I think it will be a competitive, hard fought game on both ends.  

[TheRustonRifle#7]

If they don't win, there is a rough stretch ahead that could define the rest of the season.... Go Colts!

[oldunclemark]

Our O-line situation is obviously not good but with Andrew, we can win any game.

Should have beaten the Bengals

[Colts Hippie]

Does anyone remember 2012? Everyone and their mother's brother's uncle was picking the Colts to finish 3-13ish. How'd that turnout? Remember the first game against Chicago? A loss. This year smacks of  '12 if not more.

 

People will start to see the light when we beat the skins 27-17.

[Dark Superman]

If we had a respectable defense I would favor the Colts, but I think the Redskins are too well rounded and are at home.

He only ran when no one is open smith is not that type of qb to use his legs that often he's nicknamed captain check down for a reason he's not that big of threat do your research

 

Which QB was #1 in deep ball accuracy (56.5%) and yards (1344) last year?  Yes, Mr. Alex Smith.

 

Smith had so many OC's in his first few years, I was pretty sure he never got a full playbook install, just the 'easier / shorter' stuff.  Then get a new OC. That and less than stellar WR's most of the time. Thus the ability he developed to widely distribute the ball with accuracy and with few turnovers.  He's always had the ability to use his feet if necessary, and with his experience and knowledge of about every Offensive system and verbiage, can now quickly adapt and open up the OC's playbooks now.  He is underrated by about everyone. But Jay Gruden himself believes the Redskins have improved at QB this year.

Yes, and more.  He's been around the block a few times now.

I am picking us to win again this week. I just think its a must win because going 0-2 with Philly on the schedule in Week 3 is rough. I think we bring our 'A' game tomorrow and pull one out 24-23.

 

From my viewpoint, Washington has a better, and also healthier, roster than us right now.  Sure, if we can catch a break or two, we could pull this out.  It's exactly what we fans hope and cheer for.  OTOH, if there are no breaks' falling our way, I can see Washington approaching 30 some points, and we struggle and fight to get around 20 on the road. I hope for the breaks making for an exciting upset victory.

[ar1888]

When your team goes 3-14 over the last 17 games, don't surprised no one is picking them to win.

I would say this too, but with Costanzo out, it will be a difficult task to consistently block them. I believe they will get a lot of pressure and a few sacks on Sunday on Luck. Lets hope for the best though. I think if we win, we will have pulled off an upset victory.

Listen to the OG next time I speak on this stuff lil homie! Colts got it done today.........And this was no upset, we were just better than them. This was no deal where we played above our talent level for one game. We were just better than them! That was my take going into the game and why I down played Washington.

[NewEra]

Well they're on notice now

[smittywerb]

HI, here to eat my crow.

[Bshultz]

Darius Leonard defensive rookie of the year anyone? Hunt and Sheard played great.

Fact is for 3 quarters , the Redskins got all the breaks.

They looked fast. After watching last year it did not even look the same today. I thought last week we were making plays too but just got burnt deep a couple of times.

I see 'our' regular armchair 'expert' struck gold yet again. Comedy genius.

I am not going to give anyone a hard time this week for picking against us. Although about 80% in here did. I can see why they did though and I picked us to win last week and got burnt myself. I really didn't think we would start 0-2 though. I thought we looked good last week was 1 reason why and the other reason why is, I just figured the team knew starting 0-2 would be devastating with Philly coming up next. I think we are an Above Average team as in 9-7 possibly, most don't. We have a Very Good QB, Great at times and our Defense is better this year. I also like Reich as a Coach.

I also saw somebody already has us pick fourth in the 2019 draft...more lazy, uninformed analysis.

Well, hopefully nobody puts a gun to my head about it because then I'd have to get my gun and... well it could get messy and then I'd probably miss the Colts game.

 

personally though I am picking the Colts to win this game.  While Kerrigan is better than anyone on the Bengals line, I think overall the Bengals from 7 is better than the Redskins front 7.  I also don't think Washington has any receivers that are going to challenge the safeties which means Geathers can spend more time supporting the run defense.

 

Peterson and Thompson were responsible for 70% of Washington's yards.  Because they are the two best weapons.

There are a bunch of other reasons that, unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how you look at it) I don't have time to go into now.

 

But I think the Colts will win by a 10-14 points.

Nice call!

Ok, Webb and Clark are out this week. We have no tackles, the ones that will play will taste like chicken to the Redskins. Braden Smith will be used out of position at RT most likely, and Haeg isn't good at all. The pass rush will destroy us. The interior line may be able to hold their D_line somewhat, but we can't defend their pass rush.

Pretty far off on this one...reload for next week.  Haeg is playing great but stick to your narrative.

I was not particularly confident (50 50 really), but I would not sound off with such arrogant know it all assessments of what will happen. We all know the NFL is very unpredictable......

It amazes me these people get paid big money to make these predictions. I honestly do not think they know much about our team. They just look at 4-12 last season and roll with it. This isn't last year and I am really convinced now we won't be worse than 8-8 if Luck stays healthy all season. That USA Today clown that picked us to win 2 games really has no clue. Not trying to be mean but that prediction was ridiculous.

I wasn't 100% sure we would win either but I thought we would win. I would not of bet money on it though because we have had some strange bad luck in games lately. Like last week, Doyle fumbles once a year on the norm and he did last week, otherwise we would be 2-0.

That being said it wasn't surprising at all.  It won't even be surprising if we win next week vs a very ugly looking Eagles team.

The Colts just silenced a lot of smack talkers in Washington today, that’s for sure!

Glad to get that first (of many) win today!

Go Colts.

Our D surprised me! Our O was right about what I thought it is at this point (should get better though). If the D can sustain, we should give teams fits and win our fair share.

I don't think anyone expected our D to play that kind of game.
