Skins vs Saints predictions

[Mechanix544]

Bleh, I dont expect the Saints to be as automatic this year, with Brees holding out, half their coaching staff gone, the negative attention from Bountygate, and lets be real, the guys that just got reinstated.........Is that really a plus for them? They havent played any preseason games or practices...........I just think all of that will be too much to overcome in the first week. The press will make excuses for the saints, but the end result remains the same.

Skins - 36
Saints - 31

Saints 35

So what do you think now? Do you believe? Skins have a very under rated team.

Hey its a win-win for me.


But remember its one game. Lets see how we do with the Rams next week. Could be a let down game for us so we'll see how we respond.

If there's no let-down next week, it'll mean we finally turned the corner. No more playing up and down to an opponent.

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.

I loved how we came out. The Saints defense had no idea what was happening to them.

First drive, unstoppable screen passes...chunks of yards all the way down the field to get RGIII comfortable without getting hit. FG.

Second drive, 88-yard TD pass to Garcon.

Third drive, Alfred Morris time. FG.


Great game, Kyle.

I was thinking that during breakfast. In the past, we've always followed up great wins against tough teams with complete disasters against the teams we should beat...and the Rams have been one of those teams.


Hopefully those days are long gone. There's no reason we shouldn't be 4-0 facing Atlanta in Week 5. Sure, the Bengals are solid but they're nowhere near an elite team. The Rams and Bucs should be blowout games for us. Same with the Vikings in Week 6....then we travel to New Jersey.

From Week 7 on...our only "easy" game is Cleveland. Just look at that Week 7-17 schedule, it's scary. We need to sweep this lighter early-season schedule. Our biggest test of the first month is out of the way with a WIN.

Great prediction. I said Skins 34-24 (damn blocked punt).


Matty, this will teach you to pick against your own team.

firstdown = 1
Matty = 0

Long way to go.

[Monkeydad]

Yeah, but we don't get many chances to taunt you like this, so we must relish it.



According to my Excel spreadsheet, you're far from being declared the looser.

[CrustyRedskin]

Im going to be honest, i thought the skins would go down there and get the shant kicked out of them. I hope i have to eat a lot of crow this year, cause ive been pretty hard on Hasslett and Kyle.
