Week 1: At New York Giants


The skins have to start the year at New York again. Last year, I thought, there is really no way we are going to win this game. I thought that if Landry, Jason Taylor, and Clinton Portis had really good games, we could win. They did not, we did not.

The defense played very well though, holding the Giants to 16 points, 0 in the second half. Zorn called lousy plays, and his clock management was juvenile.

This year, I actually think we have a solid chance to win, around 50/50. Our defense is better, while they have no Plaxico or a viable substitute for him. Orakpo and Haynesworth can create a lot more trouble for Eli than he is used to from us. On offense, Campbell needs to get the ball down field for big gainers and convert third down with his arm. Kelly needs to be the difference here.

Wishful thinking prediction:

Redskins 24 Giants 17
