Quote:Considering it was a tough Sunday for both teams, nothing like looking forward to next Sunday.

 

My Redskins defense is looking pretty stout.  The offense actually looked better than I expected.  Special teams still have some glaring holes.  Had the Redskins not shot themselves in the foot so much today, they would have won.

 

I was happy to see the Jags get up on the Eagles early.  Not sure what happened but that was a tough way to go down.  The Jags are going to be hungry.

 

The Jags will be playing in DC (err...Maryland) next weekend.  I think the Redskins will win this one.  However, I don't think they will run away with it.  The Jags have some good players on defense.

 

What do you guys think about this matchup?

 

Welcome to the Jaguars board. When I saw your username I thought B is for black and G is for gold (the Jaguars colors).

 

One of the best players on Jacksonville's defense, Jonathan Cyprien, blacked out for a few seconds after the back of his head hit the ground hard. Nobody said he is out next week, but the NFL's concussion protocol means he probably won't travel with the team. Expect to see Robert Griffin exploit the backup strong safety, who is horrible.

 

Defensively, the Redskins will love Chad Henne. He holds the ball too long, having no idea defensive linemen are chasing him. Brian Orakpo and Ryan Kerrigan will feast on our inexperienced offensive line to sack him. Running back Toby Gerhart sprained his right ankle in the first quarter, so I don't know how fast he can run next week.

 

The last time the Jaguars played at FedEx Field Jeff Triplette decided not to overturn a fumble when he had indisputable visual evidence the runner's knee was down, so I always thought it was his fault the game went into overtime. None of the current players or coaches know about that, of course, but I am hungry for a win at FedEx Field.

 

I think this game will be closer than 34-17 (Jaguars/Eagles score) because both teams suck. I am more concerned about the line of scrimmage than the quarterback.
