Redskins vs. Steelers predictions

This is the game where Cooley makes a statement (2 TD's), Moss's production is sacrificed for his health (4-5 Rec., 45 yds.), and Portis is held somewhat in check (95 yds., 1 TD). I think we have a Devin Thomas sighting (5 Rec., 85 yds.), and Randle El chips in nicely (4 Rec., 65 yds.)
On defense, the 'Skins stuff the Steelers ground game, and they pressure Big Ben just enough to make the difference ...

Redskins 27
Steelers 13

steelers offense has serious issues and struggles to score tds, but they get after the qb on D.

our offense racks up the yards but has recent struggles scoring tds, we dont pressure the qb all that well nor call exotic zone packages (except the horton int vs dal) to coax a willing participant in big ben. we do play very solid all around D thoo.

go skins!!

Pitt. was missing like 4 starters against NY including Parker and Holmes. We will already be w/o Taylor and Springs and some are speculating Moss may not be able to go even though I think he will. If Samuels has to have surgery, God help us. However, having Horton back will be nice even though Green held his own.(2cd in tackles)

I don't see Big Ben throwing 4 int. or getting sacked 5 times against us. Our team is totally banged up and in desperate need of the bye, especially seeing as we had the extra pre-season game as well as all the two a days.

I can see this being a close game decided by three points or less either way. I think it all depends on how we execute our game plan and which way the ball bounces. I've thought for a while now that Campbell's first "true" pick (not one that's been deflected into the opposition's hands) would come against Polomalu. Hope this does not come true.

Steelers played horrible and really had an off night against NY.( NY should've had that other TD also) However, we've lost the turnover battle for 3 weeks straight and we've missed our fair share of opportunities as well, and I don't see this being a continuing trend. With that being said, we always play to the level of our competition and we just happen to be on the lucky side of the fence this year pulling off close victories we would've lost last season.

In a nutshell, I'm going with the Skins:21, Steelers:20

Excellent analysis. I would add that the Steelers will be hungry coming off of a loss.

I hope that the fatigued Redskins can rise to the occasion just one more week.

The Redskins have played down to the level of inferior opponents, but have risen up beyond the level of superior opponents. The Steelers and Big Ben are media darlings, and the pundits will talk about how the Steelers are "mad" and want to rebound from a tough loss at home against a Redskins team that went 2-1 against three teams with a combined record of 5-16. The banged up Redskins will be an underdog, no matter what anyone says. I hope this motivates them the say way it did when they faced Dallas and Philadelphia. My hope is that the Redskins win this one at home by a TD or less.

Might I add to all of these predictions that the Steelers are 9 and 1 coming off a loss. We aren't sacking, we won't get to Ben. Portis held to <75 yards.

I don't like this game. Matter of fact, I have 4 tickets available if anybody is interested, I need to see the replays of this game from my home. :)

Again, really new to this. Steelers will only be my second game as a fan, but for the sake of participation...

Furthermore, I say we trail till the second half.
Big plays save us. Portis makes a 60+ yard mad dash for a touchdown, and Cooley crosses the in-zone to.

There is my first ever set of predictions, based on all my inaccuracies I can begin to fine tune my psychic football powers. =)

Close game. I think it will be a back and forth battle, the biggest advantage which tips the win over to the Skins side: The 12th man.

Skins - 24
Steelers - 20

We do not have the pass rush to keep big Ben off balance. I believe that minus the Giants this is the best defense that we have faced all year. It is going to be a close game, but I believe that the Steelers squeak by us.

PIT-23
WAS-22

Skins win this one at the end with a come from behind TD drive. 14-10.

the skins will have to bring it physically to win the game. kind of like how they beat Dallas
