Redskins vs. Saints predictions

[nolafan33]

35-17 saints.

too much firepower for this one guys. the saints will get too campbell all day and he won't be able too get in a rythmn (spelling?). if they could do it too garcia they can do it too campbell.

betts and portis worry me though.

This week we will see what our team is all about, as we shut down the aints.

We will WIN this home opener in a convincing manner! No need in putting up a number it doesn't matter, we shall prevail! 1-1 Sunday afternoon approx. 4:10pm......

Oh S@*t...I forgot all about Inside the NFL returning to showtime...its on right now

[HereWeGo]

All I have to say is Go Skins...

Despite a rocky start, I'm hopeful that we can run the Saints out of town!

Let's Go Skins!!!

Portis has a nice 1st half and we get a few sacks, but JC struggles and the defense gets lit up by Brees. Saints 27, Redskins 14.

I think that we should win by about 3 points. The offense improves this week and the defense continues on its track of dominance. Besides NO running game isn't like the Giants they are really more of a pass first type of team. We should be able to generate pressure on Brees and force some turnovers.

This would be a good week to get our passing attack going. Saints passing D is weak. A good game from our line in pass blocking would be a big plus. Let's do it.

The Saints D isn't great, but their front four is pretty impressive. Granted, they sacked Garcia just twice, but they were up in his junk all afternoon.

That's a mental image I didn't want to see SGG!

Their pass rush looked pretty good, but at the expense of stopping the run. They got gashed on the ground (146 yards- at home).

And it looks like a rookie corner (Tracy Porter) will be covering Santana.

I don't know if we'll win, but I think the offense can make some nice progress.

Sorry guys, I thought the Gmen would win by 13 last week and was close. NO will win this game by the same type of margin I predicted last week against the Gmen. Saints win 27-14. The Saints do indeed look better on D, and even without Colston, have a lot of talent to work with. Unless our O can get out of its funk, I just don't see a W on Sunday. Our D will keep this a respectable game though.

I can't see our Defense coming in as flat, or the Saints offense as hyped, as last week against the Giants. Your 13, as close as it was, could have easily been way off if the Giants didn't storm out the gate. This week I hope the Skins are the ones that come out fired up in the home opener. The Saints are 1 higher in the ESPN Power Rankings then the Giants, so it would be some redemption to beat them. Maybe quiet down some of the naysayers as well.

Depends on our O line I guess. Has to give JC adequate protection against the NO front line. I can see JC fumbling some balls if he gets sacked like 4-5 times.

I am curious do you think the Saints have a better pass rush than the Giants?

I think if we see anything this week it will be what JZ's learning curve will be as a play caller and game planner. Those seem to be his biggest stumbling blocks.
