Which team will be our raiders this year?

[capt1an chaos]

Of these four teams who do you believe will be our radiers game this year if we have one?

Houston Texans

Tennessee Titans

New Orleans Saints

St Loius Rams

[CurseReversed]

I picked the saints as an upset pick in the season W-L prediction thread. I think they will catch us sleeping that game and surprise us for some reason.

[Renegade7]

No one's suprising us this year.

[SC3]

I picked the Saints because they can get hot one game and cold another.

[fdarugar]

To be our '05 Raiders they would have to beat us at home...

[capt1an chaos]

depends on what breez can do for them. I hope we actually win the ones we are "supposed to". I picked the titans I believe they will end up with lienhart and who knows

[Sinclair]

IF any of them beat us i bet it will be St.louis.

[CowboysForLife]

New Orleans Saints

Drew Brees and Joe Horn could spell trouble for the league.

[Warhead36]

I picked Texans because I think we will have a let down game coming off a big emotional win in Dallas the week before.

stop being so damn technical.. the guy was just asking a question

mmmmm i'll believe it when i see it.

ya espically for the dallas secondary who cant defend deep... :(

[capt1an chaos]

yeah i remember a certian play that they just cant seem to defend. If memory serves me right they got burnt on this play twice in 3 min for touchdowns! hmmmmm

[jtyler42]

The Saints are the team off that list that scares me...They have a good O-line, a good RB, a good QB, and good WR's...They have what it takes to win on offense...

[Grimm]

The Saints are the best team on that list, but none of them really scare me

[hueman]

texans scare me

[Enter Apotheosis]

I think its funny that everyone ranks the Saints very highly despite the fact that we haven't seen how they perform with a more competent passer, weaker o-line, and the same stuttering defense they've always had.

With Bulger healthy the Rams are the most formidable, PROVEN team on that list and are the only ones that I could see giving us a run for our money.

[fdarugar]

Im not being techincal bud, its the damn truth. A loss at home to a subpar team is worse than a loss on the road to one.

[Sinclair]

we shouldnt be afraid of the saints...brees had LT and Antonio gates in SanDee..in N.O....umm no joe horn isnt great..dont get me wrong, i like brees(see my location) but well see how resourceful he is.

[skinfan2k]

i think a loss to a ****ty team anywhere, u should be ashamed off.

[fdarugar]

i think a loss to a ****ty team anywhere, u should be ashamed off.

yea but a loss to a ****ty team at home, you would be more ashamed of.

Houston has the ability too if they draft Reggie Bush and Sean Taylor is having Giants/Tiki Barber dreams all over again an screws over on run assignments or misses tackles.


I voted for New Orleans though becuase Drew Brees, Joe Horn, Donte Stallworth, Duece Mcallister, and their pretty solid offensive line will make them a good offense. All they need is to fix the linebacker spot(A.J Hawk) and have that safety they drafted in 2004-2005 draft play up to his potiential and their defense will be good enough to carry them. Especially with those 2 stud defensive ends.

besides the possibility of Bush who have the texans picked up ( not trying to be an ass, i just dont know i guess, thanks!):cheers:

I've been watching the texans lately and Gary Kubiak has gotten some of his style of offensive lineman onto his team from free agency. Dont forget they also signed Anthony Weaver(Ravens) and traded for Eric Moulds(Bills) to go across from Andre Johnson. The only problem is their secondary is gonna suck D*** and their gonna be drafting a Cornerback or Safety in the Top 10 next off-season becuase of it.

hmmm interesting..thanks alot for the info! I bet we've still got them beat!;)

{edit} i do remember recently seeing the thing about Moulds.

Dunta Robinson is a pretty good, young corner... but yeah, thats about all they have in the secondary that is at all worth a damn.

I'd say the Saints are a more talented team then the Rams. They've always had a lot of talent. They're just so hot and cold. But when they're on, they'll beat anyone. And they've given the Skins problems the last few times they've played.

[IONTOP]

I'm afraid of the Texans and the Titans.... why? Because they're in the AFC... and haven't we lost like 8 consecutive games vs. the AFC?

10 actually..i think we'll get them this year:logo:

[IONTOP]

we better... it's the friggen TEXANS as our first AFC game...

[Fifty Gut]

don't sleep on the Saints, with Drew Brees, they'll be official this season

[Sinclair]

who is the saints head coach...does he have a decent rep or is he a newb?

[PotomacSkinsFan]

no team will be our raiders. we're gonna be too determined and too mentally tough to lose games that we should win

[PotomacSkinsFan]

I'm pretty sure it's Sean Payton. He was with the Cowboys, so he obviously sucks. Poor Saints.

[JuiceMan_74]

we SHOULD beable to beat all of those teams...........ima go with Texans

but ST will smack the prez

[Sinclair]

I'm pretty sure it's Sean Payton. He was with the Cowboys, so he obviously sucks. Poor Saints.

ok...Thanks!..if this guy is unproven why are you guys so worried. It takes more than an above-average QB and some crusty WR's to beat us.

[capt1an chaos]

I Think If And Its A Big If We Lose To One Of These Teams It Will Be The Titans (especially If They Get Linehart Which My Money Says They Will)

[CPstretch]

i hope we dont have a game where our offense doesnt show up this year

[capt1an chaos]

I Hope So Too Cp But It Seems As Though We Have One Of These Games Every Year.

[Sailskipper]

I think the Saints will be a sleeper team. While i think we can still take them, they will be tough. The combo of Drew Brees with Joe Horn and Daunte Stalworth will be a good one. Throw in teh Duece and i think you have a high-powered offense. I think their D is lacking though, so we will exploit that.

[IHOPSkins]

IF any of them beat us i bet it will be St.louis.

Yes

Looking ahead to a must win vs Giants

11-5

[SkinsFTW]

I really don't see the Redskins losing to a bad team late in the season so that probably rules out the Rams and Saints. I guess if I had to pick one of those games it would be the Texans on the road after the Dallas road game. That would be our 3rd road game in the first 4 weeks of the season and the other 2 are against very good teams that we could beat.

I really don't see the Redskins losing to the Titans in Washington but that would be about on par with the Raiders game last year if it happened.

Do we really need to have a road game in Tampa every year though? Especially after the ref job in the last one, it seems they could come to Washington sometime.
