Now The Big Test! Redskins

I would say the Redskins are healthier than us right now. They do have few key injuries in LaVar and Jansen, but overall their main players are healthy. They have two explosive recievers in Coles and Gardner(Thrash can make plays too), Portis is a top 10 back regardless of stats, and their defense is winning games for them. The Redskins are a struggling team that is looking to win every game and will not take anyone lightly, like Denver did when we kicked their ass on MNF.

Both of these teams are Jekyll & Hyde as far as I can tell. The 'Skins seem to be able to consistently shoot themselves in the foot at bad times, while the Bengals are down-up-down-down-up..... This is, to me, a really hard game to call. So far this year the Bengals have played poorly on the road and I think that could be the case. The question will be if they are really getting things ironed out after beating Denver, playing generally ok against Tenn. and punching the Cowboys in the nose (courtesy mainly of their unwillingness to maintain possession of the ball).

Should be interesting 'Skins fans. I'm making the trip and it looks like it'll be cold, so please refrain from dumping your beer on me!

Brunell only got 58 yards against the freakin' Lions!

I can't wait to see what Tory, Deltha, and Madieu do to him.

And bringing in Brunell in the first place was a bad idea...they already had Ramsey, and they should be playing him now. Brunell is done. Done, I tell you!

The 58 yds by Brunell were vs. a team in the top 5 of NFL in sacks.

The Bengals are in the bottom five. Their pass rush is often too weak to hurry QB.

Expect a year-best performance out of Brunell for this game. Gibbs stuck his credibility out on the line by signing Brunell for big money and Brunell will do everything he can to keep his coach from continuing to look like a dunce for that decision.

Plus, Brunell has Laveranues Coles who is every bit the threat that Derrick Mason is for Titans. This is one of the match-ups that don't bode well for O'Neal. Gardener is as good as any WR besides Mason that the Bengals have played since Pittsburgh.

Brunell should get at least 175 in air.

Also, 4-5 in the NFC still has a good shot at wildcard due to mid-season records. Skins will be motivated in that direction.

Still, if Bengals can keep total O to about the 350+ yds they gave up to Titans and hold the Skins to about 23 pts, they got a chance.
