Redskins vs. Cardinals predictions

Skins 24
Cards 17

Let's hear yours.

Re: Redskins vs. Cardinals predictions

If this game was in AZ I'd take the Cards but its not.

Skins 17
Cards 14

Skins 21
Cards 24

The Cardinals owe us after that close loss last season. In the end they have too much fire power to go with veteran QB play. Our offense will look sluggish at first, but still manage 3 TD's. It will not be enough though.

Re: Redskins vs. Cardinals predictions

Skins - 30
Tards- 24

Team is riding pretty high right now. We had a good offensive showing most of last game, and I think it rolls into this week. Clinton is going to break 150 yards on 19 carries.

Re: Redskins vs. Cardinals predictions

I like the Skins here in a tough game. Both secondaries are good and capable of limiting the opposing passing offenses. The difference is our run game is good, theirs isn't.

Redskins 23
Cards 19

Re: Redskins vs. Cardinals predictions

I didn't make an exact prediction last week, so I'm gonna ride my stupidstition and not make one this week. 'Skins will win tho

Re: Redskins vs. Cardinals predictions

I don't think we can rest on our laurels from last week, as the Cardinals also have a top defense to go with their offense. BUT they have the same running game problems the Saints do, and we shouldn't have any problem getting pressure on Kurt Warner.

20-18 Redskins.

Re: Redskins vs. Cardinals predictions

The key for me will be the ability of Clinton Portis to get it going early. Get the Cards to put 8 in the box early to open up the passing game for Campbell.

Not worried about the Skins defense, I think they can hold thier own at home against the Cards.

Skins- 24
Cards - 17

Re: Redskins vs. Cardinals predictions

I say our Skins offense taks a step back this week...Winnable game. I don't want to say we'll win cus then we'll lose.

Re: Redskins vs. Cardinals predictions

While I think we'll get to Warner a few times and cause some turnovers and the offense will continue to make strides in a victory, superstition requires me to repeat my prediction from last week..

31-13 Cardinals..

Re: Redskins vs. Cardinals predictions

I'm going out on a limb here.....

Skin 34

Cards 10

Re: Redskins vs. Cardinals predictions

Redskins- 38
Cardinals- 31

Re: Redskins vs. Cardinals predictions

The Cards are 2-0 this year, while riding the Warner Wagon. He's definitely in sync with their 2 stud WRs, with 23 of 38 completions and all 4 TDs going between Fitzgerald and Boldin. And while Edge has lost a step, he can certainly turn it on behind an solid offensive line led by Levi Brown. Their defense has been solid this year, currently 7th in the league. However, the Cards 2 wins are against San Fran and Miami, and play in the weakest division in the NFL.

The Skins showed in the 2nd half last week that they are a good football team. Campbell made a 180 from his showing at the Meadowlands, and Portis put in another good 2 TD performance. The defense held their own against a solid Saints offense, giving up 55 net rushing yards and 250 net total yards.

Two things will determine the outcome of this game. Which Campbell shows up, and how much pressure the Skins can put on Warner.

I must still be high on last week's fumes...

Skins 21
Cards 17

Re: Redskins vs. Cardinals predictions

Laron Landry will take Warner out of the game early on a safety blitz. Leinart will come into the game with something to prove and the crowd/pass rush/tight coverage will eat him alive. The Skins are winning this one.

Re: Redskins vs. Cardinals predictions

I'm not gonna go all Joe Gibbs here. Cards haven't played anyone yet. Kurt warner is good and wiley, but not good enough since we really don't have to sweat their ground game.

Skins win. 27 - 16. Zorn puts them away early and the D can just sit back and cover and rush.

Re: Redskins vs. Cardinals predictions

I'd like to think that this game we actually make it into the endzone more than once or twice. Last week should've been a blow out if it wasn't for our redzone woes.

Hopefully Zorn fixes it this week.

Skins - 27
Cards - 20

Re: Redskins vs. Cardinals predictions

Nice Sig BD! I feel like I finally made it! :)

Re: Redskins vs. Cardinals predictions

Redskins 27 - Cardinals 24. Our defense is better than I expected, but I don't think it will be able to shut down the Cardinals passing attack. Expect Warner to throw for over 200 yards.....and a pick or two. Oh and JC doesn't have a stellar game and people again change their tune about our QB.

Re: Redskins vs. Cardinals predictions

Redskins - 21

Cardinals - 9

Re: Redskins vs. Cardinals predictions

Kurt Warner is 1-5 against the Redskins and nothing will change his luck this time. Our defense will get at him early and often. Jason Taylor and Andre Carter have a big day. I see Ladell Betts having a more than great day because of the focus on Portis. Our defense will produce at least 1 turnover and the offense scores in the redzone. Redskins 31, Cards 20

Only if Warner doesn't lay him out first! :silly:

You're crazy man, Campbell isnt going to go back. He's the type of Qb whp has shown progress in every game that our offense gets in sync. That also means our WR's have to catch balls and our RB's have to score and get 1st downs to keep campbell's confidence up. The only time Campbell has a bad game, is when his line doesnt block for him and his WR's let him down, and that will happen to EVERY qb, i dont care who you are. (i.e - Matt Hassellbeck,Peyton manning,Drew Brees, Etc are proof of that. Just look at their performances the past week or 2 ( not soo good )

Everyone that isnt a homer and knows anything about football knows that WE finally got ourselves a good qb who can actually lead us to the promised land, but just like ANY other qb, he will have growing pains. You just gotta take the bad with the good, and know that one day, he will be over the growing pains and will be confident like Peyton or Brady in the pocket. I bet you Giants fans would be kicking themselves if they got rid of Eli Manning everytime he had a bad game or at every whim of a pissed off fan that wanted to bench Eli when he was going through his rough times.. I have had confidence in Campbell the second we drafted him because I trust Joe Gibbs and the front office, they have drafted VERY well the past 7 years, so why wouldn't I? PLus, Campbell has everything you want in a franchise QB.. Joe Gibbs is alos the only coach to win 3 superbowls with 3 different QB's so Gibbs saw something in him and so do I. He was the big reason Auburn went undefeated when he was Qbing them and he ha sgreat poise in the pocket, He just needs to work on his touch and im sure there are a few other things he knows he needs to work on, but im excited about the steps he has made.

Also, we have Colt Brennan who is a great project who could sit behind Campbell and develop into a either a great Back-up QB for us, or we could trade him or JC when times comes and we can get something in return, which would be great value from a late,late round pick. I think the redskins could be considered the best team in drafting late in the rounds because alot of those players have turned into starting caliber players or are starting to develop into one. (golston,montgomery,blades,doughty,horton,etc)

I hope we continue to stockpile draftpicks because that is the best way to go. When you draft young players like Colt Brennan, or Kareem Moore, or Horton, Or Doughty who didint play for the biggest schools but they are fundamental, and smart, and the coaches know they can build on that. Also, I think when you get drafted by a team, you want to show that team that all 31 other teams were stupid for not picking them, and they get attached to their teams. Free-Agents on the other hand, yes, they work, but its not the same. Like Jason Taylor and Fletcher, Yes, these are GREAT players but imagine if that was US that drafted them, we would be alot better off in the checkbook, and they could have done for our team what they did for their other teams in the past. Vinny Cerrato doesn't get enough credit for his eye when it comes to drafting prospects. Of course we are human, so of course we arent ALWAYS going to hit, but I tell you what, as long as Vinny has been here, we havent missed much.. But then again, we havent had alot of draft picks in the past like we did this year, and I think (hopefully) it showed Dan Snyder you get all kinds of goodies and suprprises when it comes to the draft. You could possibly get more draft picks if some team wants to trade during your pick, and when you trade your picks away for a veteran, you are not only trading away your future, but you are paying ALOT more for someone to come in and be a RIGHT now player rather than let young guys grow and make plays. I hope we continue to try and trade our 1st round draft picks and pick up more draft picks and then we have more chances of picking up players from the drat like we did.

I love the redskins and im so glad we are finally going the right way, instead of being a jumbled mess, we are finally starting to be a smart organization and if we dont win this year, we keep building, and building through the draft, then you will have a young, very talented team from a long time to come.

Just go ask Burress.. He'll tell you if LAron can hit..

PLus, T.O wont even go across the middle Vs us... I think he was probably the happiest person to know he wouldnt even have to go against S.Taylor anymore but Landry is just as fierce... he will continue to learn how to lay the wood, its only his 2nd year and hes already considered one of the best Safeties in the NFL already.

I mean its physics, and brandon jacobs can talk about him trucking Landry all year and for the rest of his life. But how about he finishes a whole season without getting hurt before he starts talking shit? I dont think he even has a touchdown yet dopes he?? Jacobs is the type pf back who wears down as the season goes on and becomes a non-factor.. mark my words

I would rather have Jamal Lewis

Re: Redskins vs. Cardinals predictions

There is NO way the cardinals should beat us. look at who they have played? U mean seriously, we have played the SB champs and the high-powered saints, and 1 person in here think we are gonna lose to the Cardinals?? pshttttt, no way.. Not only that, we are at home, and if we cant beat the cards, we are gonn have a LONGGGG season ahead

Campbell beat them last year with that vanilla offense and that WONT be the same we come out with on sunday. I see us playing like we did vs the Aints because we have Dallas after this. We need to play strong and get a win to have momentum going into the Big D

Re: Redskins vs. Cardinals predictions

I don't think this one is even close. I think this will be our first dominating victory of the season.

Skins 28, Cardinals 10.

Re: Redskins vs. Cardinals predictions

I too predict this one will not be close.

27 Skins
13 Cards

The defense will lead us w/ Warner making a # of mistakes b/c of pressure. Fumbles, ints, sacks. It'll be an ugly day for the Cards O.

This will make for some easy scores for the Skins offense.

Re: Redskins vs. Cardinals predictions

I sense a let down but I'm still gonna go with the Skins. You know they always f'up the easy ones.

Re: Redskins vs. Cardinals predictions

Since Aeneas Williams left the Cardinals... the Redskins are 5-0 against them.

Trend continues... Skins 34 - Cards 24

Re: Redskins vs. Cardinals predictions

Washington-24
Arizona-14

Umm, nooo?? Not anymore, we are a sound team and we arent going to lose to someone like the cardinals or the raiders or the rams anymore. We have the type of talent that exploits mismatches and we are going to dominate this game. Portis always plays big against the cards and last year we would have tore them up if gibbs didnt do the conservative playcalling and then they almost came back, but thats not going to happen again. Our defense will put them away after our offense tears them up. Our offense is going to build off last weeks win and we will see the team start to gel better. Then teams better watch out

When was the last time we lost to a garbage team?? in 04-05 when we lost to the raiders?

Re: Redskins vs. Cardinals predictions

Dating back to the entire second half of last season, Kurt Warner has been on fire. I can see Arizona scoring 21-24 points on us. I think Boldin and Fitzgerald are each good for a TD, maybe Hightower gets one on a goal-line run, and Rackers is a very good kicker. I think they'll be almost all pass against us. If we can bottle up Reggie Bush in the run game, we can damn sure contain Edgerrin James.

The question is can the offense continue to progress? We got chunks of yards against a rookie corner in his first road game last weekend, and the rest of their secondary was pretty banged up. Arizona has Rolle (who apparently is meshing well with the safety position) Rogers-Cromartie, and Adrian Wilson. They aren't an excellent secondary, but they're a helluva lot better than what we faced last weekend.

In the end I think we'll manage 3 TDs, probaby 2 in the air and 1 on the ground. A few drives will stall out again, netting 1 or 2 FGs. Overall we play well, but don't look as good as last weekend.

If we can rattle warner with a good pass rush from AC and JT and force a few errant throws and/or fumbles, maybe we break 30 points.

I say 27-24 Redskins.
