Will the Redskins Defense Beat the Pats Next Sunday?

And you think this defense will hold the Pats to 20?

Your loyalty is admirable but I don't think their defense can hold the Patriots to 20 points or less.

I agree, I do not see the Skins holding the Pats to 20. The only way that happens is if Tom Brady is injured, then maybe you've got a shot. Other than that, no go!

The Pats OLine better protect him well on Sunday.

I agree that this is the best defense that the Patriots have faced all year but keeping the Pats under 20 sounds a little tough. The Pats are averaging 39.9 points per game in 33.5 minutes. To shut them down the Redskins better hold onto the ball for 40 minutes. Can they do this? Should be an interesting game.

To quote a famous sport figure: "If they even dream abaout beating the Pats - they should wake up and apologize!!"

They haven't had any problem so far this season. The OL is a huge reason they are doing so well.

It will be an interesting game

I predict Pats win 28-24

First of all, let me say that I'm a die hard Skins fan, but the Pat's right now are on a different level. True, the Skins defense is doing well, but the offense still blows. Gibb's mindset is to play not to lose, not playing to win. You can't win alot of games like that now.

Campbell is a decent QB, but I have seen nothing to get excited about from him. The times he has a good game, the recievers are so open that any QB could make those throws. I would have traded him for a DE and drafted Brady Quinn.

Dallas is a better team then the Skins right now and the Pat's gave them the beat down. So I expect something similar. Maybe not give up 48 but maybe 30, and that potent offense should put up about 13.

So put it in the books Pat's 30, Skins 13.

But I'm still rooting for the upset!!!!!!!!

And what about your offense Redskins fans?

Sorry, but the Redskins will not win...The Pats will lose this year but not to the Skins

I haven't heard anyone say the Redskins would win the game. Pretty much in agreement that the Pats are on a different level than all teams this year but I predict the Redskins defense will be the biggest challenge for the Pats so far this season. That in addition to the Pats overlooking the Skins for the Colts will make the game the lowest scoring game for the Pats this season so far.

Agreed,

Washington has already lost two games (Packers, Giants). Neither of these teams have the OL that the Patriots have and they managed to take down Washington and their "unstoppable" defense. I am rooting for the upset too against Darth Belichek, but I don't see it happening. I think the Dark Side will prevail at the Death Star (Gillette Stadium).

That may be a bit of a fib... I am going with that you don't believe in your d as much as you say you do.

[SmokeyJoe]

As much as I might wish for it... alas, I think the Pats will prove to be up to the challenge. Maybe the Colts can end their quest for the '72-'73 Dolphins coveted accomplishment.
