Skins vs the Cards Pregame Thread

I think we win this one 24 to 17. Slow start by both teams, we then take the lead early in the second half, and give away one stupid TD in the 4th on blown coverage/missed tackles.

One thing I hate seeing on the depth chart: Jamison Crowder will be returning punts? ... Don't do that to us. Don't that to him...

Yeah, I was hoping to see someone else penciled in there to start the season...

I thought Stroman did a decent job returning punts. At least he didn't fumble...

I would rather have Jay returning punts.

With the QB drama in the rear-view mirror I think the Skins come out strong.

Skins 20
Cards 17

I think we are all shocked - Skins 31 Cards 13. AP gets revenge by running for 140 yards and 3 TDS. Smith is efficient and throws for 1 (to Reed). Bradford sacked 4 times. Johnson doesn’t get to wear down our D because they’re too far behind in the second quarter.

Doesn’t hurt to dream.

2. Chris Thompson and Jordan Reed...no play during the Preseason...2 HUGE factors on Offense that we need to win. Hope they ready.

3. Must win week 1? I think the Cards could be an OK team this season but not a playoff team...This on paper should be a win. With the slow starts in the past and a pending schedule that gets rougher as the season goes on....We need this one, NFC game too!

4. Cards turnover defense this preseason has been scary...we brought Smith here to protect the ball. On the road, we cant turn it over. This could make or break this game.

5. AP vs his old team. I think we could have an advantage here..Hoping for a big debut.

Skins 26 Cards 20

Great post man. Agree with all of this. And yes, looking at the schedule we got a code red rite off the bat. Lol. Seriously we need to beat the Cardinals if we are going to move forward.

sdskinsfan2001 · 09-05-2018, 01:42 PM

A win better be in the Cards.

But I'm glad we open on the road, so if we play like ass per our usual week 1, at least we don't burn a home game in the process.

I just want to see our guys come out with some intensity, focus and be mentally sharp. We have enough vets on the team where we should be past the dumb shit. This is just the typical game under Gruden we lose.

JoeRedskin · 09-05-2018, 03:07 PM

74 to 3. Skins win.

Go big or go home.

I like the way you think, JoeRedskin. I'm definitely going to record this game just in case your prediction comes true.

Saw one interesting stats on IG, did the math myself and turns out that person is right. The person said Gruden said that Cousins always put Redskins in tough position after first game.

2015-2017 stats for first games: Cousins: 3 losses, 2 tds and 5 ints, 2 fumbles. Smith: 3 wins, 9 tds and 1 int. Only positive Cousins had above Smith in first games are less sacks - Cousins were sacked 5 times and Smith were sacked 8 times but I wouldn't worry much about it because we have better O-line.

Redskins win the game 35-17

Arizona Injury Report...a common theme: middle of that defense is pretty knicked up:

Markus Golden DE Knee DNP
Jermaine Gresham TE Achilles Limited
T.J. Logan RB Ankle Limited
Robert Nkemdiche DT Foot Limited
Corey Peters DT Knee Limited
Olsen Pierre DT Toe Limited

Some opportunity for Oline to control the LOS...which is yugggggge.

Cards D is good, I don't see us scoring too much.
