Week 8: Redskins Vs Steelers Matchup Thoughts

I think this game comes down to how many times Kyle throws a INT or fumbles the ball. If we can keep his turnovers down, we'll win.

You mean the same secondary that held AJ Green to 1 catch for 8 yds? Although I am glad Polamalu is not going to be playing for them.

Bengals Steelers is a divisional game and may not be the best barometer for what to expect from the Steelers. I don't see why we can't put up points like the Titans and Raiders did. We're top 5 in scoring and should expect to move the ball on anyone.

Correct. Turnovers are a direct result of bad play calling;)

Also how many times Haslett blows a coverage or misses a tackle.

You're right. It not Haslett's fault. The fact that the secondary didn't play last year like this and had improved from 2010 to 2011 speaks volumes. Then Slowik leaves and the Redskins hires Raheem Morris as defensive backs coach and then all of a sudden the defensive backs can't defend the pass worth a damn.

For some reason, i feel like the Skins win this one going away. The Steelers' defense is old, I'm thinking it will be a big day for RG3 (again)...

Slowik didn't leave. He's coaching the LBs now

Slowik was never part of the secondary coachING anyways right/

What?

For some reason I thought he'd always been the LBs coach.
