Redskins vs. Cardinals predictions

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

besides, it doesnt matter if you have the best defense in the league, if you cant score points, you arent gonna win, and thats why the seahawks got beat.

If offense didnt matter, the raiders would have won more games than they have the past 3 years. in fact, didnt the raiders have a top 5 or 10 defense the past 2 years? I know they had a great defense
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.

I would agree that our offense was on point for only 2 quarters. But you attributed the win (and our O coming alive) to the Saints being tired! As if it was an unfair advantage that it was hot and humid and that we held the ball longer. It was a team win any way you slice it. You should be extremely happy (if in fact, your are a redskins fan) that our offense clicked 2 games into the season with a new head coach and a new offense.

Hey Dirty,

Is Bohnzie..even taking into consideration that... ARE fumbled and that lead to 7 points because we basically gave them the ball in the end zone and that we picked off two passes and recovered a Shocky fumble..and that another 7 of their points cameon a punt return?

Obviously not. If not for the punt return and fumble. It probably would have been more convincing to those who didn't watch the game.

Then he brings up time of possession. Well that means they couldn't stop us with the ball. Which is also proof of dominance on both sides of the ball. Not COMPLETE dominance but but we can only get better.

HTTR!!

Couldn't agree more, DMV. If we win and put up 500 yards of offense against Arizona, it will probably be because they are from Arizona and that their defense got unexpectedly tired towards the end of the game. LOL.

hahahah dirty

DMV, you know what's up man, as with most of us do. We got this game on sunday (if we come out and build on last weeks win of course) but of course, anything could happen. I feel like we are going to dominate though, just a feeling. I had the same feeling last week too!

I have that feeling.. I think Portis will have a HUGE day.
