HoyaSkins28 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Anyone can analyze all they want about how polamalu might not play or how portis won't be able to run on pittsburgh but what i'm saying is about gut feelings. before almost every game (and im sure most people feel this too) there is always a certain gut feeling that i get, sometimes i'm right, a lot of times i'm wrong, but i want to know what everyone's gut feelings are about this game. personally, i have no idea how this game is going to turn out. im worried about losing but something tells me jason campbell is going to play the game of his life. how do you guys feel about this game?

gillherb Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 in the redskins evaluation continuum from 1-10, where 1 is complete pessimist, 10 complete optimist, 5 a realist, i consider myself a 6...and i think we come out on the wrong side of this game...in a very close game...shall i say...20-17?

BigRay Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 It's a toss up but we have a shot to win this game. The Steelers is a very good team but they are not a dominant team by any stretch of the imagination. Yes they have the #1 ranked defense but you can still move the ball against them. The Skins have to play a flawless game no turnovers, limit the penalties. Their offense isn't very strong they do not run the ball very well. Our defense certainly have to generate pressure get Ben off the mark . He's a big, strong quarterback so they have to get him on the ground.

TheItalianStallion Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I think we win; I think we're the better team, and we're at home. I haven't been terribly impressed with Pittsburg this season; hell, are the Giants and Eagles (their 2 losses) the only teams with winning records that they've played thus far?

BigRay Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 My final prediction Skins 16 Steelers 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'KanSkinFan Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 The team will decide But the 12th MAN will be there to help I think~ no "wishful thinking"~ the Skins win this one. Gonna be a brutal battle, but wearing down the Steelers will be the key; and they can be wore down. I say~ Skins 31 Steelers 27 This is NOT one of the games I predicted the Skins to lose.

Mackdaddydean Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I think so. There's a reason that their only losses have come against the NFC East and it has less to do with the awesomeness of the NFC East and more to do with the fact that the only good teams the Steelers have played are teams from the NFC East. Here are the Steelers wins: Texans Browns Ravens Jags Bengals One word: Weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Kaos Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I know that "gut feeling" you are talking about. sometimes I hate it because I get that uneasy feeling that leads me to believe we are going to lose a game, other times I love it because I feel a win coming on..... it usually comes about 1-2 days out, this game..... about 4 days ago.... and I feel a win coming on!

chaddukes Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I feel more confident about this game than I have about a number of games that we played this year. I think that we got the Steelers at the right time. They are just as banged up as we are. Big Ben seems to be trying to force things. He's standing in their too long. The offense isn't clicking. The defense is lights out, but Hampton is hurt and the secondary is decimated. Thier punter is injured and they have a new long snapper. There is plenty of potential for them to screw something up on special teams. If Clinton can get 50 yards in the first half, and we can avoid turnovers we will win this game. My gut feeling is that we end up winning this game and it will be because of the O-line. I also think that Clinton will have a lights out game. Maybe he won't get his 100 yards rushing, but I think he will still be a huge factor. He'll get some key catches, critical short yardage first downs, and will lay out a couple of LB's in pass protection! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I still don't think we match up too well with Pitts defense. It's gonna be a low scoring, defensive struggle I think. But JC is gonna win us a close game, with another huge day through the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRay Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Our defensive players have to keep their heads on a swivel though they have know where #86 is at all times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaddukes Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Our defensive players have to keep their heads on a swivel though they have know where #86 is at all times. Yeah, I think that #86 better keep his head on a swivel as well. He better know where #22 and #30 are at all times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terpfan Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Depends on if guys like Moss and Samuels play. If they do, I see no reason why we shouldnt win this game at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9_to_42_td Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Philly is right on our tails and the Giants will gain ground, so we have to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaydub Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Gut feeling,...........We win, hands down. Eagles man handled this team. Eli throws ints and the Giants still win. Eli had turn overs today and did them at times when there was no pressure on him. JC has shown he can play smart ball. As long as he continues to do that, we beat the Steelers no problem.

WVUforREDSKINS Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Rocky McIntosh had the game of his life last time we played Pittsburgh. Look for him to repeat that. It will be a very close game. Can't pick a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bibby Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I think the Redskins will win. Like previous stated, Steelers wins have been against some not so good teams and their losses have been from the NFC East. From the games I've watched Steelers play they are no dominate force.

KDawg Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Honestly, I think it could go either way. Pittsburgh is a very gritty, tough team. Hines Ward is a beast of a blocker and with Willie Parker back, their running game is very formidable. But so is ours. Clinton Portis will shoulder most of the load; especially if Santana doesn't play. That said, I have the utmost confidence in Antwaan Randel El in the receiving game, not so much the return game. El has come up big for us this year time and time again. El has 33 receptions for 409 yards and a touchdown. Cooley has also been great for us this year. He's got 40 for 451 and a touchdown. If those guys can produce, I like our chances. Devin Thomas may play a bit of a factor in this one and I like James Thrash here as well. Defensively, we need to get to Big Ben. His OL has been awful at protecting him and he's done a terrible job in getting rid of the ball. That said, he gets the job done. Against that situation we need our pass rush to actually do something. Can't let him have all day. They have way too many weapons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
