31-Skins
20-Cardinals

[DirtyLandry]

Kurt Warner almost beat us with one arm last year. We need to run the ball and keep thier offense off the field if we expect to win this game...It'll be close but we win by a field goal. 24-21 Skins.

[calia]

Skins 25 (safety on Warner and 3 FGs that should have been TDs leading to weird point total)
Cards 20

you heard it here first

[4thGenRedskin21]

we let the cardinals come back last year in the 4th, we were winning by like 2 or 3 tds and then gibbs got conservative and the D started giving up huge yards and then TDS's then Rackers barely missed the FG to help us win.

Its gonna be a different story this year though, the team has put a highlight on starting strong early and then we dont have to barely sneak into the playoffs, hopefully they can stick to that strategy because if we cant beat the cards we are gonna have a hard year

[HAILItsGAMEDAY]

Redskins 35
Cards 17
One-Two punch Portis and Betts. Betts being a huge factor in this game. Skins will send the cards back to Arizona with their first LOSS. If we can't put up big numbers against Arizona, then there's just no way we can win against teams in our division.
HAIL!

[4thGenRedskin21]

HAIL, I agree with you man, we have wayyy tougher oponents that we are gonna need to beat, we better beat the cards. If we can't, we will struggle. Hopefully the team isnt overconfident and respects the cards like alot of memebers o nthis site do, then we can come out and crush them. We need to show other teams in our divsion we are pretty damn good ourselves

Actually 1 win and 3 losses, but that 1 win being against an '07 playoff team, in their house, where they were 9-1 last year.

Romper Room must have let out early today...there is no reason to state this because you have no idea what would happen if these 2 teams met.

The Seahawks got beat because they let up and couldn't get the job done. Putting up 30 points at home in this league usually means a W. Two Seattle turnovers in the 2nd half led to 14 49ers points...

Let's see. Raiders 2007 D: 22nd in the league total yards, 27th in league total points allowed. Raiders 2006 D: 3rd in league total yards, 18th in league total points allowed. Not exactly a great defense.

Go back and reread what I said. I never said offense didn't matter. I said the Giants D carried them into the Super Bowl and that Manning got hot at the right time.

We have to deal with their passing offense, thats it, thats all we have to worry about.. So when we shut down their passing game, what are they gonna do?

That's all fair and good, but 2 games into the season, the Skins have played solid ball for 2+ quarters. The simple fact that all they could muster in the 1st half against the Saints was 5 measly FG attempts has me concerned about punching the ball in for 6. And it took a weary Saints defense for the Skins to come alive and win.

Oh, and if the Skins to shut down the Passing game, Edge and Hightower may not be AP and LT, but they can do some damage.

[4thGenRedskin21]

2+ quarters? did you not watch the whole game? we dominated the saints THE WHOLE GAME dude.. How can you discredit the redskins win that much? the stats and replays showed we dominated 4 quarters of that game, even though the score didnt show it.

I agree the 1st half we left points on the field, but we were still dominating them. They were put into scoring position when randle el fumbled and then reggie bush got that punt return. Those points should not have been

we we're 33% in redzone effeciency and that will improve as malcolm kelly and devin thomas hopefully start getting used to the speed of the game. Kelly could especially help us in the redzone.. Our offense is still new and the players are now getting used to it so they will only play better. with that redzone effeciency , they better

[BDBohnzie]

I did watch the whole game, and I discredited their play in the 1st half because while they could drive the ball down the field, they couldn't get the job done. It's like taking the Prom Queen into your Pimpin' Ride, driving her up to Lovers Lane, and then taking her home without hitting the home run.

You can dominate between the 20s all you want, but if you can't punch it in for 6, that is not dominant. And because of that "dominance", the Skins went into the locker room down 1, and went into the 4th quarter down 9. You don't dominate an entire game and have to come back in the 4th quarter to win.

A dominating effort would have been TDs on the Saints 2 1st quarter turnovers, not field goals. Again, your enthusiasm is awesome, but do not discredit the other team because of your blind faith.

Think about what you just said. Perhaps the Saints D was "weary" because of us! And don't use injuries or travelling as an excuse. Fact is thier front four is excellent and we had a good game plan.

[BDBohnzie]

The Saints defense spent over 9 minutes on the field in the 4th quarter (Possession was Skins 34:14, Saints 25;46, or about a 10 minute swing), on a hot and humid Landover MD day, in black jerseys, without the help of the Z-Shades. I think that could have had a bit to do with it as well...four 300 lb guys, no matter how fit they are, will break down physically in those kind of conditions.

[DirtyLandry]

Wow!! You really just used weather and jersey color as an excuse as to why we beat the Saints.. Put down the Madden dude and watch real football.

[BDBohnzie]

Thank you for putting words into my mouth. I never said it was the SOLE factor of the Saints breaking down...I said it could have a bit to do with it.

I also said in Post #68 that the Skins have played 2 solid quarters of ball this year...referring to the 2nd half against the Saints. So I would imagine that anyone could put together that 2 solid quarters of football plus the Saints defense breaking down in the 4th quarter would lead to a 5 point victory. But since you are questioning it...here it is again:

2 solid quarters of football plus the Saints defense breaking down in the 4th quarter would lead to a 5 point victory

Actually have to contradict that a bit, although it is a rare instance I grant you.

But in the year that the Ravens won the Super Bowl, they did not score an offensive TD the final 6 games of the regular season. All points were scored by the defense and Special Teams.
