PIT-23
WAS-22

Now is that one of your patented good luck sarcastic picks, or is that for real?

Use your imagination, and whichever you think it was... was wrong, it's the complete opposite.

To be honest I dont even know for sure anymore.

OKay now I'm confused. I dunno which one

They have to get to Big Ben -- just once I'd like to see our team absolutely harass the opposing quarterback. Doing that will force Roethlisberger into some mistakes and help our defense get some turnovers.

Just like what we saw with Moss cashing in a punt return for TD, I think we'll need help scoring from our D and special teams.

If Samuels is out or ineffective, I don't like our chances. This is the type of game where you better have your full arsenal of weapons. I'll be interested to see Zorn's strategy for this one -- will he catch them off guard and line up with 4 and 5 wides in the shotgun? Or will he try to go toe-to-toe and smashmouth 'em? Seems like they're going to have to get a good mix and keep the Steelers guessing.

Skins win this one at the end with a come from behind TD drive. 14-10.

dmek25 · 10-28-2008, 07:55 AM

the skins will have to bring it physically to win the game. kind of like how they beat Dallas

I see an inspired team rising to the competition just like it falls to it. But I really think Chris Samuels is the key, I think Heyer will play better if he plays but against much stiffer competition. So if #60 is in there we win. I think again the WCO will work well against such an aggresive D for Yac and stuff like draws and delays should work well. Anyway SKINS WIN 16-13

Redskins 17
Steelers 13

I think a healthy Samuels is a must to be competitive in this one. Assuming he plays:

Redskins 16
Steelers 12

I'm a little concerned about the Skins being out of gas at this point. Hopefully they can get that fire burning one more time before the bye because this is the kind of game where you'll get spanked if you don't bring your A game. Both teams are very similar in that they both play hard nosed D and they want to run the ball. It's going to be a slugfest, I'm thinking something along the lines of...

Redskins 17
Steelers 14

The Skins are tired and Pgh is coming off a loss. This will be a hard hitting low scoring game and I think Pgh's ability to stop the run will be the difference.

Pgh 15
Was 10

im going to go out on a limb of optimism here.
redskins 27
steelers 21

portis has a hundred

The Skins are tired, and injured, but if there is any team in the league that is more of those things than the Skins, it's either the Cowboys or the Steelers. So I think the playing field is even from that perspective.

It's a good point that the Steelers are pretty beat up themselves and nowhere near full strength.

Well Samuels is expected to play against the Steelers. Does not look good for his future for the rest of the season though
