[quote=The Goat;936931]I never, ever want injuries to happen, even for teams I really dislike eg Giants, Cowboys. But I have a bad feeling for Drew Brees in this game. Our front 7 is going to be real nasty this season and Brees is a smaller QB who just signed a massive contract.

28-10 Skins in the above scenario

If Brees plays the whole game 35-17 Saints[/quote]

You know how we play against backups, and if Chase comes in, well I will just accept the 0-1, and a rant by a certain mod as to how we should have kept Chase

Re: Skins vs Saints predictions
 

I'm very disappointed everyone seems to be forgetting the Giants won the Super Bowl last year. How did they do it? Not with their crappy secondary. With the B.A. front seven that put so much pressure up front the QB didn't have time to get the ball down field or let the receivers routes develop. Great line play helps the secondary out tremendously.

Same thing here guys. Nicks is gone. The Saint's line is not as good as it was last year. And our D line will be better with another year in the system and Jarvis Jenkins coming back. Brees will have a hard time establishing a down the field threat if he has pressure on him constantly. Look for it to be close late. As my name suggests... SkinzWin!!

Redskins 24-21

Re: Skins vs Saints predictions
 

Henderson and Moore burn Doughty easily on multiple passes. Losing Merriweather hurts, we neeeeed a safety!!

Re: Skins vs Saints predictions
 

I agree with the people here who say our front 7 can be nasty. I agree. But I'll say this. Against the Saints, with them playing the 49ers last year, the 49ers back 4 of Rogers (yes he's good), Tarrell Bown, Whitner, and Dashon Goldson (very very good and underrated FS) Brees still was able to put up 34 points on the best defense in the NFL. So thats why I say we may have a good front 7, but that secondary of ours is hurtful to look at (particularly safety). Thats why I still say the Saints win. And with the whole bounty thing they are going to be throwing out a lot of their anger on us the first game for sure. Oh and they are always fired up first game of the season in that dome. 31-17 Saints

Having been the doormats of the NFC East for the last couple of years, coming in with a new savior (RGIII), improved WR core, yes improved OL (Depth, Williams and 'Steiger are back), better D, secondary is about the same as last year, perhaps slightly improved. The skins will be very fired up and ready to prove people wrong and make them believers. Skins will give the Saints everything they got and will win.

I'll be checking your posts then during the game.

I usually don't post during but will after, I'm very confident in a win.

[QUOTE=jamf;936903]The Saints are the most explosive passing team in the league.
The Redskins have a bunch of guys who should be working at Footlocker in their secondary.
Brees throws for 500+ yards.

I don't think Brees will be confused by a defensive scheme that has not evolved since Kevin Greene was a Steeler.

42 to 13 Saints.[/QUOTE]

Pretty much agree with everything here
Don't think Bree's will quite get 500 yrds,I'm guessing around 375

RGIII's first real NFL play will be an 80 yard touchdown. Not a passing touchdown or even a rushing touchdown, but a receiving touchdown on a wildcat play with Banks as qb. There will be 4 wideouts. RGIII will be split out at tailback with Banks at shotgun. RGIII will be wide open on the left sideline with a linebacker trailing 10 yards behind him.

His first play from scrimmage will inspire a 38-3 blowout of the Saints. A mystery coach wearing an Aints paper brown bag over his head at the end of the game from the Saints sideline will shake Shanahan's hand. This will lead to another Saints investigation because there is speculation that the coach is really Sean Payton.

How's that for bold predictions. Ha!

Re: Skins vs Saints predictions
 

Saints have much to play for with the Bounty suspensions and Issac.

Skins 13
Saints 27

Re: Skins vs Saints predictions
 

Oh ill go 34-30 Skins.

Offensive game with a couple of "bend but don't break" redzone stops from our D. Looking for the front 7 to show up big this game.

Re: Skins vs Saints predictions
 

No way Brees doesn't get sacked. No way the Alfred Morris doesn't rush for 100 + yards against that Saints run defense. No way RG3 doesn't throw at least one TD pass. No way does Pierre Garcon not come away with over 100 yards in receptions. No way Washington Redskins don't win this game.

Re: Skins vs Saints predictions
 

skins 31
saints 24

Re: Skins vs Saints predictions
 

The Skins, with a rookie QB and a suspect secondary, got a tough draw for the first game.

The crowd noise inside the Super Dome will be difficult for RGIII and Brees will toast the Skins secondary.

Saints 34, Redskins 17

I hope to be proven wrong.

Go Redskins! Beat the Saints!

I see a Saints D that is not very good versus the run. We use the three headed attack and play keep away from an explosive Saints offense.

Skins 24
Saints 23

Going to be a tough one!

Re: Skins vs Saints predictions
 

PAIN MOTHER ****ERS!

AND, we win 24-20. I think we can actually put up points on them and truly if we score a TD on our first drive, and can just get even a LITTLE defensive success to where the Saints have to play from behind, I think we can take them.

Re: Skins vs Saints predictions
 

Saints were 8-0 at home last year. Not sure how to call this one.

Re: Skins vs Saints predictions
 

Skins win 45 - 42.

Brees stat-line: 28-40 / 482 / 5TDs (he's my fantasy QB) :)

I think the Skins will make some big plays and do some things that haven't been on film. Saints will struggle on D and take a couple games to adjust to the new playcaller on O. Should be a shoot-out, we'll pull it out thanks to RG3/Moss/front 7 on D.

Oh I believe they [I]can[/I] win, but weighing all the factors I just don't think they will.

I know it's tough for you righties to separate reality from fantasy at times. ;)

Redskins 34

Re: Skins vs Saints predictions
 

I think we can win if they force Brees to make mistakes. He throws more picks than the rest of the top 5 qb's so if we can pick him off i can see us winning
28 Skins
24 Saints

Re: Skins vs Saints predictions
 

We're going to see if Brees can lead the team like Manning, making decisions on the fly. He won't have Sean Payton calling the instructions in to his helmet.

Brees also held out for a while.

Between those two things, I think he'll be rusty and possibly second-guessing himself at times, especially with our front 7 abusing him all day long.

Re: Skins vs Saints predictions
 

Orakpo is back. Fletch and Kerrigan will be chomping at the bit as usual. I expect Wilson and Jackson to come in a few plays to add pressure. Hope to see a little of Jenkins at DE. Cofield will do his job and the LB's will be flying. Baker spelling Cofield could also add some pressure. Riley and Robinson are both athletic LB's and should help with coverage and Riley on the blitz. If this Saints offense is not finely tuned just yet....we're gonna have some celebrating to do. And I don't think anybody knows what the Shannys have in store for RG3 yet. Especially the Saints defense.

Well actually your own statement said "I believe they can win" as a righty we can seperate reality its just we take the postive thinking over the negative looser thinking. [IMG]http://www.thewarpath.net/images/icons/icon10.gif[/IMG]

Yes. Although I can be intellectually "very concerned" about a game and be unsurprised when we lose, I always follow my heart when making advance predictions and never ever pick us to lose.

This is why I also never bet on games. :)

Tell you what, you can go and bet on the Skins to win every week, and I'll bet based on reality, and we'll see who the "looser" is at the end of the season. :biggthump

Ok, I'll bet you $5 a game (I have the skins each game) to be donated to the other persons choice of charity.

Ooooh, that conversation just got interesting.

Re: Skins vs Saints predictions
 

tempting, but I gave up betting years ago

The giants d line was bitching about the replacement refs not calling obvious holds. Gotta admit I didnt see anything egregious but, if rak gets held as much as he did last year it may negate the efficacy of our front seven.

Another great point.

This is like Hideo Nomo's debut...the opposition has no idea what they're seeing and can't do anything except embarrass themselves trying. :D

Remember that? The first time through every lineup, the batters had no idea how to hit him.

I'm expecting a Cam Newton-like start to Griffin's career.
