And I repeat that Philly sends 5 and 6 rushers more often than anyone else in the league. That frees up the D-linemen, especially when the QB has to avoid a blitzing defender and strays directly into the arms of a D-lineman. Don't believe me, just read this account of how they abused Roethlisberger with continuous blitzing: ESPN - Pittsburgh vs. Philadelphia - Recap - September 21, 2008. That has been Johnson's MO ever since he got to Philly.

Bottom line, Our D-linemen would have more sacks too if we blitzed as much as Philly, but Blache has a more balanced D that gives up far fewer big plays. If Santonio Holmes is out, I believe that Blache will be tempted to copy some of what Philly did to Pittsburgh's offense.

They pick up the ball and start running as the clock expires we chase them down and tackle the Stealers one yared short of scoring the winning TD. I cannot believe you could figure that out. Redskins 18 Stealers 14

Well thats quite a finish! I'm just glad the Stealers are not coming into our house and Stealering a win. Had me worried for a second.

Redskins BEAT THE Steelers by three or less!

And I was saying the difference is that they get sacks when they blitz. We haven't gotten sacks by our Dline or blitzers when we blitz which is a good reason to not blitz as often because if you can't get to the QB you will get burned. Philly can do this and that is why the continue doing it. Until someone can stop them and burn them, they won't stop.

I'm glad that this game is on Monday and at home. The fact that this team is playing in prime time with all the world to see. This will be a chance for this team to show how good they really are. I think the fans will be as electric as we have ever seen them to be, and with good reason. This will be a coming out party for us fans to enjoy. The Skins beat a quality opponent, and this might be a Super Bowl preview. We win 31-17!

Irish, be a player, be a hater, but don't be a player hater man. It's unbecoming.

I say the Skins punch the Steelers in the mouth big time. 24-10 Redskins.

Hail2theskins · 10-28-2008, 07:32 PM

the caps pens game a few weeks ago was an indicator of how this game will come about... get down early but storm back late and knock out the steelers, not making a score prediction cuz last time i did that they lost, i think we win but i also think its the end of campbells no int streak.

53Fan · 10-28-2008, 07:43 PM

Both teams are tired, both have injuries, but our team is at home and the crowd gets them pumped up for MNF. Carter gets a couple of sacks and the pressure from the D-Line and some well timed blitzes causes a couple of interceptions. Cooley and El have big games. Skins win 28-10

vallin21 · 10-28-2008, 07:52 PM

This will be our Defense's best game. You'll see some blitzes, sacks, a few picks and some hard hits. Our defense wins us the game.

Skins 10
Steelers 3

Daseal · 10-28-2008, 08:19 PM

Close game, STeelers win. Number 1 run D forces us to try to throw the ball. Rest of their D is pretty good too.

reppinredskins · 10-28-2008, 09:17 PM

Skins-17
Steelers-10

CRedskinsRule · 10-28-2008, 09:32 PM

One thing I think will be a big factor is our 4th qtr play, if we can pound it at the end I think we will outlast them. Remember Rocky anyone?

Oh and the answer to 18-14 is easy, after Cooley's TD, Zorn goes for 2 cuz he saw a play we could gash them with

. That plus Suisham obligatory end of 1st half FG gives us the 2 tds and 18 pts.

SirClintonPortis · 10-28-2008, 10:40 PM

Redskins: 24
Steelers: 13
Fred Davis gets a TD as the two-TE set is featured more.
Also, a screen pass to Alexander goes the distance.
------------------
18 points can easily be obtained by having 6 field goals.
