Redskins vs. Steelers predictions

They have to get to Big Ben -- just once I'd like to see our team absolutely harass the opposing quarterback. Doing that will force Roethlisberger into some mistakes and help our defense get some turnovers.

Just like what we saw with Moss cashing in a punt return for TD, I think we'll need help scoring from our D and special teams.

If Samuels is out or ineffective, I don't like our chances. This is the type of game where you better have your full arsenal of weapons. I'll be interested to see Zorn's strategy for this one -- will he catch them off guard and line up with 4 and 5 wides in the shotgun? Or will he try to go toe-to-toe and smashmouth 'em? Seems like they're going to have to get a good mix and keep the Steelers guessing.

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. =)

I don't mean to harrass you, but after portis and cooleys tds are you saying we score 2 safeties?

I actually think that this is the week when the score won't be close, and I have no idea who will win it. Both teams are exhausted and have some key personnel dinged up or out, and I think it is a momentum game such that whoever roars out to a good start and wins the turnover battle will run away with it. Could be us; could be the Steelers. I think the final will be 30-13, and I hope we're the ones lighting it up.

I will say that I think this has the feel of the toughest game we have on the schedule.

I think the steelers are gonna have 8 or 9 starters questionable or more than likely out. There secondary is a weak link.

JC air mail time, with a nice dose of CP.

Hogroll, How much for those tickets?

That is GREAT news. I'm thrilled the MRI showed only a little cartilege irritation. Very positive. We can run to the left and Jason may make it out alive.

I see Pittsburgh being so concerned with containing Moss that Cooley has a big game this week (85 yards / 1 TD). Regardless of our ability to rush the passer with 4, our steller run D keyed by Fletcher and McIntosh will force the Steelers into numerous 3rd and long situations where Blache will dial up the heat against a shaky Pittsburgh O-line. Philly blitzed them relentlessly, and pounded Roethlisberger into submission. I see much the same here - no mercy.

Our D line couldn't pressure a crack head into smoking right now.

Thanks for asking the question, I was wondering the same thing. But hey, we all had to start somewhere.
