Redskins vs. Cardinals predictions

[saden1]

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

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

Trend continues... Skins 34 - Cards 24

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?

Well, we got beaten by double digits by the Falcons in '06, but anyway, why is Arizona a garbage team? They went 5-3 in the second half of last season and could have been a playoff team if they didn't start the season with Leinart at QB. Plus they've won 4 in a row dating back to last year. So we've got a team coming in this week that's won 7 outta their last 10 regular season games, and has a sick passing attack. Nobody thought New Orleans was garbage coming in last week. Funny, since they've now lost 3 out of their last 4 regular season games and had a worse record than AZ last year. Hmmmmm....

NO gets credibility they don't deserve since Katrina. The media and america has been pulling for them and they keep getting called "probably the best offense in the NFL". They're a sexy pick since that monday night shootout between them and ATL. (one of the best monday night games ever btw...) I picked them to be exposed last week and they were. They scored 24 on us, which is 7 more than I anticipated but they got that stupid punt return for a TD, which puts them in line with my expectations.

AZ has some dynamic recievers and a good solid veteran QB. You will not shut them out. IF they lined up in the same formation and ran the same goddamn play 30 straight times they would still score. They're good, but they don't have a run game to balance themselves out. Especially against our run D. they're not physical enough and Edge ain't exactly truckin and jukin his way to 100yd multi TD performances. Being one dimensional will lead to turnovers against our pass D... Not to mention when they get in the redzone their run game is out the window, unless its a trick play.

Their D doesnt scare me either and they will not get physical enough to stop our rushing attack without cheating up safeties, which they will pay for now that moss has his wheels back underneath him.

I agree, 100% Our defense will be able to keep them one dimensional and that will play to our advantage. Kurt warner is going to be experiencing major pressure in which he has not had to face yet. That will cause mistakes, which wil lcause turnovers, which hopefully we can get points off of. Portis will have his first 100+ games and 1 TD and hopefully we do not turn hte ball over, but you never know. I just feel like our team comes to play and everyone is still playing with S.Taylor in their hearts. Rookies are stepping up and helping us win and thats huge, thats exactly how the giants won last year.. hopefully we can follow that

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.
