Washington vs. Arizona Week One Prediction Thread

[bowhunter]

Az will find some success running at us. Their QB mess, Our D-backs and rush make the passing game too risky for them. And I expect them to have something to show for it. A few long drives and more TOP than most would expect will lead to a lower scoring game than some are predicting. Howell will look good in a few series, throw for a couple of scores, but also throw a pick as he might gamble on a few he wouldn't throw in a closer game.I expect a comfortable feeling during most of the game but not a blowout either.

Yes.  
 

Idiots will pay for anything.

Congratulations! If you would like to borrow two older teenage boys for a few weeks to see what your future holds I will personally drop them off.

Thoughts from the other side...

 

And I quote: "Sam Howell threw an interception in the first quarter of the preseason game against the Ravens backups. That happened." .... It did not, in fact, happen. 😂

Well everyone seems to be picking us to win. So that's new. 

 

"Why Gennaro is taking the Commanders: Arizona opens the season with a 2,300-mile road trip to FedExField. Don't think anybody will be taking the bus. But what can we expect from a stripped-down Cardinals roster in Jonathan Gannon's head-coaching debut? Well, the Commanders' calling card these days is a ferocious defensive line. In related news, Arizona's O-line projects as something between turnstile and TURN-OFF-THE-GAME. Washington kicks off the post-Daniel Snyder era with a rollicking beatdown in front of its rejuvenated fan base."

^^^ What could go wrong? 🫣🥴

 

It's easy to predict a win when we're supposed to lose or even be close. This favored nonsense is french to me. lol Hoping for the best though! 

[SkinsFTW]

I was thinking something like 23-16 but they don't even know who their QB is going to be so it probably can't be that close, can it?

 

So...

Re the price - I assume you are paying not collecting?

Detroit is good and KC were without two All Pros. 
 

Can you name three guys on Arizona?

Brown, Conner, Ertz. That was super hard tho. I couldn't come up with #4 if I needed to.

Two of those are on the injury report.

So it's going to be raining throughout the game...hmm...

[Bigmuss1]

Rainy day 

 

I believe may limit Dobbs mobility, it’s the one way he can hurt a defense. 
 

Skins - 24

Cards - 13

 

this game will be close 

[London Kev]

All this talk about selling children is totally inappropriate and you guys should be ashamed of yourselves.

 

There’s a dedicated forum for this kind of thing, so please, take it to The Classifieds.

Conner is a shell of his former self, and expecting to run against our D line is I'll advised.

 

Thanks guys for the well wishes by the way! My son came a little earlier than expected but he is doing okay..baby steps!

We weren’t that great at stopping the run last year.  We’ve done virtually nothing to improve our LB corp, so I don’t think we’ll be doing to well on that front this year either.  The only thing the Cardinals will do decent on Sunday is run the ball.  That might be the only way they can score any points, aside from our offense turning the ball over and the Cardinals converting that into points
