Patriots @ Redskins Media Link Roundup

Redskins secondary braces for Patriots WR Wes Welker - The Insider
Haslett: "He’s a remarkable receiver. Obviously, that’s the go-to guy," Haslett says. "He’s got a lot of catches. He’s got an unbelievable amount of yards. He finds ways to get open. He’s herky-jerky. I mean he’s all over the place. He’s hard to put your hands on. He’s fun to watch if you’re not coaching against him this week, but he is remarkable the way he gets open. He pushes off and he runs routes. He’s probably as good a route-runner as I’ve ever seen. He’s a really good player to watch."

Redskins-Patriots Predictions | Mr. Irrelevant
Matt Terl: Patriots, 35-17, I figure Rex Grossman should be able to throw a couple of touchdowns against the Patriots pass defense, especially when he’s playing from behind for the entire game, but he’ll also throw the commensurate number of interceptions to keep the Scales Of Grossman balanced.

How is that flu treating you, Kevin?

I'm Rex, founder of the Dragon Kwon Do quarterbacking system! After one week with me in my dojo, you'll be prepared to defend yourself with the strength of mediocrity, the reflexes of a sloth, and the wisdom of a Shanahan. So come down today for your free-trial lesson!

So this is

The only place the Pats haven’t won, huh? Terrific. We seem to enjoy effing up those kinds of stats.

Where do they teach you to talk like this? In some Panama City "Sailor wanna hump-hump" bar, or is it getaway day and your last shot at his whiskey? Sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here.

haha yea I feel like everytime the Skins play it goes like this:

Announcer: “Team X has not had a run/pass over 10 yards in their last 13 quarters”

Then right on cue the team has a 10 yard run.

It's that way across the board

Someone from the Patriots will have a career day against the Redskins. There is always someone having their longest TD catch, or their longest KO return for TD, or career long FG attempt, against the Redskins. Brady will throw 4 TD passes in the first quarter or some shit, matching his career best.

Just you wait, someone is going to have a career day.

Navy's kicker made a pressure packed 44 yard FG yesterday, so no field condition excuses for Gano, haha

Banks was already bitching about the field yesterday on twitter.

Banks has a point

Poor field conditions might make it difficult for him to run 20 yards sideways. He might have to settle for going north/south.

that was in Gillette, last time the Pats came here was '03

I remember it vividly b/c Isabel had just come through Richmond, it was my senior year of HS and no one had power. So me and bunch of guys randomly decided to go up to the game w/ no tix, parking, or anything. We won like 20-17 or something like that then the Patriots 15 straight games and the Super Bowl
