Cardinals @ Redskins prediction Thread 9/18/2011

[seesred]

Tough game for our Cards. Our defense plays much better and PP gets a pick 6. Close game till the end as we win 23-20.

GBR

Penalty calls will miraculously go the Cards way due to the egregious miscall during the Carolina game (you know the one).

Hightower will have a good game but will be too pumped for this one and will fail to execute on numerous occasions. Sound familiar Cards fans? No fumbles though.

Grossman will look better than average against the Cards pathetic outside pass rush and inexperienced corners. Peterson gets a pick.

Kolb will be running for his life and will be sacked at least once by Ryan Kerrigan and Brian Orakpo.

Kolbs familiarity with the Skins and the east coast playing time will contribute to his having a good, if not great day.

Fitz has a big day.

I am very torn about the outcome of this game but as of now I'll say: Cards 30 Skins 27.

Hope I'm wrong, but I feel this is a game we could really struggle in. Good defense, motivated running back, and a young team playing first road game of the season.

Instead of predicting the final score, I'll instead predict this: at least one poster on here will freak out and wonder if we can dump Kevin Kolb since we are obviously on our way to getting Andrew Luck.

I have a feeling we will win. I just feel like our offense can score easily. Last week we should of put up atleast over 30 pts. We had the opportunity to maybe hit 40 too. Hopefully we fix all the small errors especially by the goal line.

44 - 28 Cards win.

My two sons (Cardsfanmd-Justin) & my 9 yr old will be there on Sunday. That's the good news. The bad news is that our presence has been a curse. We haven't see a Cardinal win LIVE since 1998!!!!

THE CURSE ENDS SUNDAY!!

Cardinals 27
Skins 24

Btw, we're also going to the Ravens game in Baltimore.

Almost two years ago to the day we played the Redskins on the road with Warner, Hightower, Fitz, etc and lost. That was our super bowl year and we haven't won in DC since 1988...tough place for us to win.

Kolb has only played Washington once. That was last year at Philly and the Eagles lost 17-12. Vick started but was injured in the 1st qtr and Kolb played most of the game going 22/35 for 201 and 1td / 1int.

Heart says Cards win a shootout 27-24

History says Redskins 27-17

Hope that I am wrong but Cards play very poorly on the road in the East. They usually just come out flat.

 

[MadCardDisease]

Washington sits out this game to fully heal.

Hightower has a 100 yard game with 2 TDs

Game is close but Skins win it with a field goal late in the game.

Skins 23

Cards 20

Vegas line is dropping on this one. Started at 4.5 and is down to 3.5.

Means the game is basically a pick em on a neutral field.

I think the over/under is at 42. Cards v Skins has been under that number 9 of the last 10 meetings.

Do you believe Rex Grossman is better than Cam Newton? I don't.

AND like 60 of those yards came after a blown INT call.

 

[Mulli]

Cards get down double digits early due to mistakes caused by sleepiness. Comeback too little too late. A huge penalty or two will kill comeback.

I have seen this game before.

DC 31 Cards 26.

If our run defense stays as solid as it was Sunday and our secondary as porous as it was Sunday I expect to see a lot of high passing numbers for opposing QBs. Similar to what we saw in 2009 when the Cards were getting out to big leads and opponents were having to throw to catch up.

I'm really hoping that run D is for real as the Cards allowed over 150 yards rushing 12 times 2009-2010. How many times did the Cards rush for over 150? Three.

2002: DC 31 Cards 23.

Cards lose: 30 - 17


I've had this game penciled as a loss from Day 1. Now, if we beat Seattle next week, we'll be okay. If we lose to Washington AND Seattle, it could be a very grim season.
