Skins vs Cardinals pre-game thread

Skins 30

I do hope the Cards secondary really is that bad and we kick their ass, but this one feels like it will be tight for some reason.

I think this is a fairly big game as far as early tests go. Even if we go into Dallas 2-0 and lose there, we know we get another shot later on.

Hopefully Hightower finds his groove and can rip off a couple of long ones. I expect to see a little more of Helu Sunday. Maybe 5-10 touches?

probably the same amount as V Holliday told the Cards. If anything, I imagine Holliday has more inside scoop on our Dline then Hightower has on Kolb.

Also can't see either one doing too much damage.

That's a question we probably could ask prior to each game before the bye-week. We have a starter that played with our first four opponents...would be first five if McNabb was still here.

The Panther's offense rolled all over their D. The PANTHERS!

Also, their only real weapon is Fitz. He may get behind our secondary for a score if Landry is missing, but I expect our D to shut them down even more than we did the Giants. Kolb has never impressed me. Beanie Wells is mediocre, will probably get injured this game.

Hightower Time... and of course D. Hall comes up with the big pick!

Cool sig, I didnt know D Hall had a website...just added to favorites.

and then he has merchandise? D Hall t shirts look pretty cool. I know a few here probably have a stash of them.

I stopped after the first post:

Washington is beating their chest after beating a banged up Giants team.

And the Cards barely slipped by a Panthers team that won 2 games last year, and got lit up by a rookie QB.

Ditto! I feel like the ending of Billy Madison and feel dumber for having read some of their statements. Probably the dumbest thing they said was that they had an advantage at TE and one dude even went as far as saying they have the best TE set in the league?!?! I know our combo is on the rise and isn't there yet but Jeff King and Todd Heap, seriously? Best combo to me is Antonio Gates and whoever his backup is or Gradkowski and Hernandez in NE IMO.

Now as far as a prediction goes, I think their passing offense is obviously the main thing we should fear, but I still see us winning by about 10 points as we have both a decent passing attack against their suspect secondary and a solid rushing game especially if we see more packages with Helu and/or Torrain to mix it up.

and we r finally getting pressure on defense without blitzing, but when we do blitz mcintosh, fletcher, hall, etc were getting atleast a hit on Manning almost every time.

redskins impress with a solid run game and our seondary comes to life with a couple to's

skins win big

30 - 7

Would like to see the run game continue to progress and the passing game should be expected to pick up any slack against the Cards lackluster secondary. I think Arizona will be able to challenge the Skins D a little more in the passing game then the Giants did. Fitz is a tough matchup and will probably be able to get his. This should be a good opportunity for Rak and Kerrigan to show what kind of pressure they can apply as a tandem. I see a competitive game that the Skins are able to finish in the 4th quarter.

Wow.. Reading the Cardinals forums makes me think we have like 20 undercover Redskin fans out there. Or they are just bigger realists then we are lol..

2/3 of their predictions have the Redskins winning by a touchdown+
