Recap up to week 7

[run_vick_run]

I didnt remember we beat the panthers and we beat the buccs. And lost to the saints in overtime after punt blocks, I think it was 2 punt blocks. Lost to the Bengals by 1. We have a good team ignoring the steelers lost, their defense scheme looked too complicated for our scheme. Already looking foward to the redskins game. The bye week would work in our favor

I hear the Redskins are pretty good.

[octoslash]

The Redskins are good.  They're not great, but they have a talented roster and they play very good at Fedex field.

Wow, what a recap. 10/10 would read again

[run_vick_run]

División recap lol

[ki46dinah]

Philly game was always in contention.

Saints loss was tough bc they are division, but that was a W we gave away.

Ridiculous to let the Bengals come from behind to beat us.

Steelers loss was a straight beating on both side of the ball.

Redskins run a similar scheme and have a better defense than PIT.

Payne/Allen/Kerrigan are all stout against the run and the pass.  The Skins secondary is gettable.  Alex Smith isn’t in sync with the wideouts yet, so most of their success so far in the air is to RBs and Vernon Davis.  Adrian Peterson can still beast.

Yeah I think ryan is way ahead of smith but the game plan is what I'm looking foward too. We already used the run play action over the limit. Hopefully we can run some with the new OL adjustments. No idea to what extend our run fake will work

Yea, I hope we don't go up there and "lay an egg" in a very winnable game! 
I don't think we will, though, since we should be very rested after a bye week. 
And hopefully some of the guys who have been knicked up will be back to full strength again.  Plus, our coaches will have that extra time to game plan against the Skins. 
Remember, they don't have Kirk Cousins anymore (who fled to Minnesota), or Derrius Guice, the rookie RB sensation who was hurt in preseason.  Of course, they DO have AP, who is still a beast, and can hurt you at any time! 

But, I feel pretty good about this one --- I'm thinking Falcons 24 -- Redskins 17.

3-4, and two of those Ls were on essentially the last play of the game (OT loss to Saints, 1pt loss to Cincy). So it's not a stretch to say this team could be 5-2. (Got clocked by PIT and played poorly on O in PHI)

The next 2 games are tougher than some are assuming- road games (Offense is averaging less than 15ppg on the road), WAS is leading their division, CLE has played better than their record would indicate (they also have an OT loss). 

[FinalScore2.0]

The Browns have played 4 overtime games. 1 - tie, 1- win, 2 losses. They are playing competitive ball.

As far as the Falcons go, everyone knows about the defense. The offense is good if the Oline can stop making costly penalties and poor pass protection errors at the worst time. This is another reason why close games are lost.

They're good up front, not so much in the secondary. Give Ryan enough time like the second half of the Giants game and he'll carve them up.

Herein lies the problem. We struggle with 3-4 zone dogs.

The WAS front seven is better than PIT's and they bush wacked us.

That's the NFL, close games. Aints should've lost to the Browns and Falcons and they got lucky with that missed extra point in Baltimore. Potential 3 losses are 3 wins, while the Falcons potential 3 wins are 3 losses.
