Re: Skins vs the Cards Pregame Thread
I honestly think we beat the piss out of the Cardinals, give us tons of hope for the season and then win a squeaker against a shitty Colts team. That's how the Skins roll.
If our defense gels, there will be a vast improvement against the run. We just can't give up chunk yardage.

Re: Skins vs the Cards Pregame Thread
I fear we will be out game planned, as usual on one or both sides of the ball. In-game adjustments are always a problem for our staff it seems. I hope these fears dont come to fruition. Skins 17 - Cards ?

Re: Skins vs the Cards Pregame Thread
My goal that I will fail miserably at is to not cuss in anger on this board.

Re: Skins vs the Cards Pregame Thread
Either people are seriously underselling the Skins or overselling the Cards. I'm going with the latter.
They have one of the best backs in the league in Johnson, and they have Fitz who is always reliable. But outside of that their OL is trash and their best lineman is on IR, their QB is made of glass, and probably most important to note they have a new coaching staff. What am I missing here? Why all the pessimism? |

Re: Skins vs the Cards Pregame Thread
I need a little more substance. The Cards aren't anything to be afraid of. I don't see many categories where I'd give them a strong edge.
QB - Skins RB - Cards WR- I'll give it to them just because of Fitz TE- Skins OL- Skins DL- Skins LB - Skins DB - Slight edge to them because of Peterson Coaching staff - Skins |

Re: Skins vs the Cards Pregame Thread
Skins D dominates and Redskins win, fans still doubt the team.

Re: Skins vs the Cards Pregame Thread
I have pessimism cause we barely beat them last year at home, could have easily lost and they literally had no NFL QB on their roster and no David Johnson. This is just the kind of game where Gruden just can't seem to get over the hump. Hope I'm wrong but until I see otherwise I think the Cards win this in a close game.
I would also not underestimate China Doll. If they protect him he is as good as anyone. Really want to see Allen & Payne and co get after him. |

Re: Skins vs the Cards Pregame Thread
While watching the Thursday night game, I couldn't help but compare the Eagles and Falcons issues to how the Redskins may come out on Sunday.
Atlanta had difficulties scoring TDs last year after moving the ball down the field. They had the same issues last night. Sound familiar? Hopefully with Smith they have taken a step forward with correcting the red zone issues, but I didn't see any progress on that front in the limited action I saw in the preseason. Also, Philadelphia's offensive starters didn't play much together during the preseason (sound familiar?), and it was apparent for most of the game as Foles wasn't sharp, and they weren't on the same page a lot. It's hard to call the first game of the season a must win, but it is an NFC game, which makes it important in my mind. The Redskins well known track record under Gruden in home openers is terrible. Here's to hoping that all the reps in practice together is enough to get them off to a fast start. It would be nice to see them come out and smash Arizona in the mouth, step on their necks and keep the foot down for four quarters. Redskins 33 Cardinals 16 |

I'm hoping Smith comes out like he did last year against NE and looks ready. I expect to have some rust and see some first game mistakes but if we can play a decent game we should win this one. With Philly already having a W as well we can't afford to let them get ahead after the very first week.

Re: Skins vs the Cards Pregame Thread
I think you will see a lot of similar games to last night this weekend. That said, I am really hoping to see ASmith run our offense and minimize the mistakes. I think he can come out sharp and the rest of the offense will follow his lead.
The defensive line is my concern because those big guys other than Settle just haven't seen lots of time on the field for conditioning. |

Re: Skins vs the Cards Pregame Thread
I'm watching football all day with my Cowboys buddy (yep, I have one, sigh) so we're gonna be a little shitfaced by the time the game starts. We really need to win! Do it for me Skins!
