13-7. Oh wait, that was last year!
Let me just say, I have no idea what to think. Romo with his fake injury (ala Ali's rope-a-dope) is going to have a 85% healthy, 100% motivated, Dez Bryant. Bryant gave us fits last year and I see him being healthy enough to come in here and do it again. Not to mention, they have tape on us. This is the first game where a team is going to have enough playing time against us and film time of our first few games this year to plan and be more prepared. Rex Ryan is going to unleash the pressure and Rex will have to adapt. I fear that Rex is going to lay an egg, but that could just me waiting for the bubble to burst.
I have a feeling we are going to win this game, but it could go either way.
Here's what I feel, not think...feel: I believe it is going to go one of two directions. We are either going to go out there and put it on them or they beat us in a close one. We have grown tremendously as a team, but have we really gotten over the hump? If we are hitting on all cylinders, Ryan Kerrigan getting pressure from his side of the field opens it up for Rak to get to Romo from the blind side. Romo goes down and Kitna proves that he's too old to get it done anymore.
If we can't get an injured Romo out of the game, we are in for the Dez/Romo show. The guy may not be able to win on the big stage, but he is trying to prove everyone wrong about not being able to win in Prime Time. This would be a great follow up to the game from last week to prove himself to the world. He's just so inconsistent, I hate the anticipation leading up to the game.
If our defense can knock them around, Rex will be able to make his mistakes and still get it done. If we don't get a lot of pressure on Romo and/or Kitna, it is going to be a long day for us.
Roy Helu's first 100 yard game? Hightower's?
Anyway, 24-10 Redskins win.
