i was thinking the same thing myself after they pulled that SD game out of their ass.
If the offense can run the ball, which it did against a pretty good SD run defense, than they should be alright. Anothr big day from Bledsoe and Co. and the game could be over early.
eh...i wouldnt expect jones to run very much. the skins gave up 3.1 yds per attempt last year- good for #1 in the league by half a yard, although jones is a good back. bledsoe isnt likely to have another mistake free performance. he and crayton and keyshawn don't scare D's. bledsoe may have to carry the offensive load, and that's not good for dallas.
The Boys defense will have to stop Portis first and see what Brunell can do. If they get them down early and force Brunell to pass, than this game is really over. They'll bring the heat and wreack havoc in the backfield and more than likely Jason Campbell will see his first action of the year.
the boys have the distinction of giving brunell his best outing of last year. but i'll give you that dallas' D should be much better than last year. still, if dallas' defensive backs cant slow down an over the hill mccardell- 2 td's, 123 yds on 9 catches- i feel pretty good about moss and patten being able to catch a few.
Talk it up skinfan cause I know 14 out of 15 has got to hurt. I mean the odds are with you right? Nahhhhhhhhhhhh
Boys 23
Skins 17
for once, you're right! all this statistical pre game breakdown means nothing after kickoff. doesnt matter how good or bad either team is...til the skins get it done, its all a way to kill time til the game.
that said, skins win. 24- 13
