Week 8: Redskins Vs Steelers Matchup Thoughts

Don't hate on his predictions guys, he's got some good points. I'm not sure on this game yet, imo it's a toss up.

Week after week people still think we're going to get shut down offensively or even blown out. I'm really starting to wonder what games people have been watching. We've been in every game and have taken some of the better teams in the league down to the wire.

I honestly feel that we are good for 21 points in every game, even with mistakes. In every game we're going to be in these games. If the defense doesn't f*ck up and the offense limits the mistakes, we win.

Troy Pa still out thank God, but pouncey back

The game simply comes down to, can we get to big ben and take him down, the other major key to the game is containing Mike Wallace and Antonio Brown who are both faster than Cruz and Nicks.

If those are the true keys we lose. I don't think they are though. We aren't going to have a sackfest with Big Ben. Teams rarely do.

IMO, the keys are minimizing the damage on any given play. Force turnovers. And look at each possession as a need for a score. Again a game where all three parts do their best all game, and we win. We aren't good enough for the parts to take a quarter or even a series off.

I will be satisfied if their no-name TE's have a big day against us rather than their big name WR's. Keep it in front of the D, no home-runs, make them take drive long drives to score and hope for a couple stops.

Then simply out-score them with our creative and innovative offense led by its multi-talented QB and power rushing rookie.

With Polamalu and London likely to miss this game, I think we're pretty evenly matched with the Steelers talent wise.

Not even close.

LBs - Their favor
DL - Their favor
Safeties - Their favor
DBs- Push

QB- Push
OL- Our favor (slightly)
WR- Their favor
RB- Our favor
TE- Their favor

Its because of Kyle and his poor play calling.

Must win if we want a wild card spot

Been looking forward to this game, gf is a Steelers fan and we have this little bet going ....

Just hoping for no more injuries and a solid game from the D, don't want to be reading about another game we could have won but ended up not being able to hold on to.

Not even close.

We'll agree to disagree. I think RG3 is better than Ben, by more than a little. I think TALENT-WISE our offense is slightly better than theirs, and again TALENT-WISE their defense is slightly better than ours. I'm looking at talent, no more. The Steelers are far better coached though, and that will likely make the difference.
