I didn't pay attention to who was on the traitor list. My bad (does anyone say that anymore?). I'm still going with NO.

Whatever happened to the secret ballot??? LOL.

Skins win but not by much. I just cannot pick against my team I cheer for every week. Not sure how you can pick against your own team but that just how I feel.

The Saints are a big play team and Blache's goal is to limit the big play. I think it's a good matchup for the the Skins (even though the Saints are a better team). I think Brees gets frustrated Portis makes enough plays (over 150 yds on the ground) for the games only TD's.
Skins 14
Saints 12

This is going to be another frustrating game (& season). The Saints will start out slow but take advantage of some mental mistakes by the Skins. I think it's going to be a low scoring affair:

Saints 13
Skins 6

HAIL!!

Skins win @ home 24 - 17

I agree. SKINS 20-13

The Redskin offense is still "under construction", so it's hard to predict them scoring a lot of points. The defense is going to have to set the tone for this game. I predict the defense will create a couple of turnovers which will enable the Skins to win a close contest 21 - 17.

Springs being back is gonna' be huge. Landry also should feel a little more comfortable after being back in the mix.

I think the Skins take this one 24-13, except the defense scores once for us.

[TheMalcolmConnection]

I also think Malcolm Kelly makes ONE big play and we all jump on the bandwagon (as if we were ever off).

I think once he gets in the groove, he'll really contribute.

Totally agree and looking forward to it.

The offense will turn the corner this season, just not this week. Durant Brooks continues his Derrick Frost impersonation, and unless Rock breaks a big one the offense is in trouble.

Skins 3 - Saints 24

add springs back to the mix and i like our chances against the saints. i am looking to see CP get his. At this point in the season he is our best weapon on offense. If portis can have a decent day on the ground i think you will see this offense catch a little fire.

skins 17
saints 10

Malcolm Kelly will get hurt during the game and be out for the season.

[DaveyFoSho]

With Colston out, our DB's will have a little less to worry about. Brees is a superb QB who obviously can spread it around to anyone. Top 4 Targets being Bush, Shockey, Patten (Haha) and Henderson (Only because it is Brees, otherwise he would not warrant a second thought)

The key would be to have a man on bush coming out of the backfield at all times and zero in on Shockey's signature smash crossing routes, and I think the Skins take this one 24-17.

The Saints D gave up a lot to a mediocre Bucs offense. This bodes well for us since we don't have all cylinders firing yet. Even if our offense doesn't play their best, they should still be able to put up points. Earnest Graham, Warrick Dunn and Jeff Garcia ran for 146 yards! Garcia also threw for 221 wit a TD.

I believe the extra practice time and Zorn's disappointment/realization of mistakes will keep him on their case and expect perfection. It will happen eventually and I'd be willing to bet sooner than later. Zorn seems like he'll really drive the players into shape.

Our defense played really well against the Giants, especially in the second half. We should be able to contain the Saints, especially without Colston and their only healthy RB being Reggie Bush, who isn't much as a RB. (as a WR...that's a different story) Thomas was hurt slightly in Week 1, McAllister is pretty much finished. They have a lot of WRs, but no one really that great other than Colston. Shockey can always lose you a game or win one for you.



I say Redskins 20, Saints 13

Back by popular demand, here's the Week 2 traitor's list!
