Skins vs Saints predictions

[MTK]

They had no problems with Carmichael calling the plays last year when Payton was hurt. I don't see why they would this year.

People always talking about New Orleans offense, they forget their defense ESPECIALLY their secondary is garbage. We should be able to put up some points against them.

Sure but can we put up enough?

i think we have the talent too. Run run run run the ball, thats gonna be key. A shoot out, we will lose.

I would love to see a shootout game. I know we might lose it but feel like the message to the division would be big. and we MIGHT win

thats a good point. Man i would be blown away if scored say 35+ points. But those expectations would increase as well. Id rather take a 24-21 win, defense looking good, and RG3 made enough plays to beat a playoff team.

I'm guessing it's a horse and it's neighsayer, but the heavy Cajun accent just makes it sound that way.

That prediction on NFLNetwork was far too 'Saints positive'. Brees is going to wonder when all those Redskins defenders are coming from, until his replacement comes in.

I know there are no moral victories, but if the Skins cover the spread, I'd feel pretty good about their chances the rest of the way.

money has obviously come in on the Skins and that's why it's so low. it opened at 10.

That is a great strategy. Pound the ball, eat the clock up. Reduce the amount of time Brees is on the field and can make big plays.

Yeah reduce the amount of time Brees is on the field or our secondary, either way you want to look at it.

If I were haslett I would offer my players money to take Bree's out of the game, like a game within the game...........

I'm really just hoping for a trap game. Maybe we can catch the Saints off gaurd and overconfident.

Looking at how our starters looked in preseason against the pass it doesnt look good.Jay Cutler went thru us like a hot knife thru butter,Andrew Luck pretty much did the same.If we somehow can control the clock with a good running game and keep the ball out of Bree's hands we'll have a shot.If they get a 10 point lead where they can tee off on RG3 were toast.Remeber this is RG3's first game,he looked good in preseason but im sure he was facing vanilla defenses also.
If we dont turn the ball over and can get some pressure on Bree's maybe we have a shot.Time of possesion dont mean shit against NO,so even if we controll the clock with a good running game it will help,but in the end might not matter

^ i feel like thats an unlikely scenario, given they more than likely feel the need to step up and prove something... I'm hoping more for an over-zealous saints team to focused on being great without Peyton at the helm ... making mistakes playing like a younger more in experienced team then they are trying to over compensate for lack of their coach and pride getting in their way of focus and performance... Or, we'll just go out and play prolifically and it will be a huge momentum builder and win for us.

I'm expecting a huge game from Alfred Morris against that no good Saints run defense. It should open up the play action pass and RG3 to go long to Garcon, Morgan, or Hankerson deep.
