Re: Redskins vs. Steelers predictions
 

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

Redskins 18
Steelers 14

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. =)

Re: Redskins vs. Steelers predictions
 

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

Re: Redskins vs. Steelers predictions
 

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

Re: Redskins vs. Steelers predictions
 

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

Re: Redskins vs. Steelers predictions
 

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

Re: Redskins vs. Steelers predictions
 

I see an inspired team rising to the competition just like it falls to it. But I really think Chris Samuels is the key, I think Heyer will play better if he plays but against much stiffer competition. So if #60 is in there we win. I think again the WCO will work well against such an aggresive D for Yac and stuff like draws and delays should work well. Anyway SKINS WIN 16-13

[quote=Hogroll;494847]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. :)[/quote]

Wow! you've already got us losing huh? :postcop:
Funny because the Steelers [B]are[/B] allowing the 2nd most sacks in the league. Their O-Line looks like shit and even though this is where we'll miss Jason Taylor. I still see our boys getting to Ben and disrupting him enough for us to take advantage.
If I still lived in the D.C. area I'd be happy to take those tickets off your hand WITH a smirk on my face to a [B]BIG[/B] Monday night win for the Skins!

Whoever gets your tickets 24
Steeltown boys 21

Re: Redskins vs. Steelers predictions
 

Redskins 17
Steelers 13

Re: Redskins vs. Steelers predictions
 

I think a healthy Samuels is a must to be competitive in this one. Assuming he plays:

Redskins 16
Steelers 12

Re: Redskins vs. Steelers predictions
 

I'm a little concerned about the Skins being out of gas at this point. Hopefully they can get that fire burning one more time before the bye because this is the kind of game where you'll get spanked if you don't bring your A game. Both teams are very similar in that they both play hard nosed D and they want to run the ball. It's going to be a slugfest, I'm thinking something along the lines of...

Redskins 17
Steelers 14

Re: Redskins vs. Steelers predictions
 

The Skins are tired and Pgh is coming off a loss. This will be a hard hitting low scoring game and I think Pgh's ability to stop the run will be the difference.

Pgh 15
Was 10

Re: Redskins vs. Steelers predictions
 

im going to go out on a limb of optimism here.
redskins 27
steelers 21

portis has a hundred

Re: Redskins vs. Steelers predictions
 

The Skins are tired, and injured, but if there is any team in the league that is more of those things than the Skins, it's either the Cowboys or the Steelers. So I think the playing field is even from that perspective.

It's a good point that the Steelers are pretty beat up themselves and nowhere near full strength.

Well Samuels is expected to play against the Steelers. Does not look good for his future for the rest of the season though :(
