Time to give Washington a rough welcom
 

That win against the Bills was really nice but its time to look forward to Washington coming in for a visit this week.

We have lost the last two games against them after beating them in a tight game back in 2009. The last one in 2015 ended 47-14 in their favour.

They are currently 4-5 and are 13th in offence and 20th in defence while we are 2nd in offence and 8th in defence.

I think the main key will be to get to Kirk Cousins, he is their best player by far IMHO. He is currently right on pace with Brees. 208/313 (66.4%) for 2 474yds with 14TDs to 5 INTs. Brees has 215/300 (71.7%) for 2 398yds with 13TDs to 4 INTs.

The difference in rushing is bigger, Washington averages 97yds per game while the Saints rush for 142yds per game.

They have sacked the opposing QBs 22 times and have 10 INTs and 6 FRs.
The Saints have sacked the opposing QB 25 times and have 10 INTs and 11 FRs.


I couldn't find any major milestones coming up stats wise but one minor. Ingram needs 90yds rushing to reach 5 000 for his career.

With all that said, I think Cousins is a really good QB but I believe the D can shut down his targets and put pressure on him while the offence keeps hammering away on the ground. Final score 38-13.

Crusader,

It's called Victory Monday for a reason. We can afford to enjoy a win for a day before dealing with Washington.

The Saints will continue to dominate rushing the ball, which completely controls the tempo of the game. Win the turnover battle and this game won't be close.

SFIAH

Bah! I'm to excited for victory Monday :-D

Speaking of the Redskins .... remember this play by Bobby Meachem back in the day??

Re: Time to give Washington a rough welcom
 

The Meachem strip always reminds me of how cartoonishly good the 2009 Saints team was.

Re: Time to give Washington a rough welcom
 

Funny because yesterday all I kept saying was it looks like I am watching a video game. This team could be better.

Lattimore, Both Williams, and Crawley should come up with some picks. Cousins throw in that small window even if his guy covered, time to close that window

The Mechum gif is missing what started that... The Brees INT.

Smart heads up high IQ football play. Which is what we are seeing on the field once again.

Washington ALWAYS plays us hard (or we play against them weak!)

Can we just demolish these ****ers & get on with it?? :bng:

Re: Time to give Washington a rough welcom
 

We all know, although the team would say otherwise, that the Saints would look over a team and think about next week's game; I think three straight 7-9 seasons has the team not looking passed anyone.

That is bad news for Washington!

Re: Time to give Washington a rough welcom
 

Guess PFF is starting to come around...

Re: Time to give Washington a rough welcom
 

Let's go knock the snot out of these suckers!

Re: Time to give Washington a rough welcom
 

I do too. He's a tough QB that has ability.

Side note - key match ups for me is Kamara vs Zach Brown (a guy I liked a lot in FA). He's their leading tackler but if he loses containment, Alvin will eat.

Ramz vs Kerrigan (6 sacks so far). This should be another good battle to keep an eye on.

Re: Time to give Washington a rough welcom
 

I want our Saints to send the deadskins home in tears!

Re: Time to give Washington a rough welcom
 

They've kinda had our number over the years. We need to beat this team at home. We need to impose our will up front (again).

Re: Time to give Washington a rough welcom
 

Any given Sunday. We need to focus and play lights out. These guys will beat us if we don't take them 100% serious.

Re: Time to give Washington a rough welcom
 

Circle back to Saints beat down of Carolina in week 3. After the game, they flew directly to London (Dolphins). I don't think coach Payton will allow this young team to rest on one's laurels. I'll be surprised if they lose focus playing an inferior (at least on paper) opponent on Sunday in the dome.

Re: Time to give Washington a rough welcom
 

I watched his games at Michigan State every chance I got, he seems to be a very good leader too.

Re: Time to give Washington a rough welcom
 

This is a much improved Saints team, however historically we don't fare well.
Washington Redskins lead series 17-8-0. Last game at Fed-Ex in 2015 we got
hammered 47-14.

Re: Time to give Washington a rough welcom
 

This season's different, remember Detroit were 3-0 against us the past 3 years, as long as we play to our potential we should come out on top.

Re: Time to give Washington a rough welcom
 

Cousin's isnt going to just lay down. I really dont like the matchup gonna be a close game I think

Re: Time to give Washington a rough welcom
 

Re: Time to give Washington a rough welcom
 

Going to lay a fifty burger on them.

:bandg:

Re: Time to give Washington a rough welcom
 

And hold them to 21 or below

:bandg:

Re: Time to give Washington a rough welcom
 

Yea the next two games are ones we routinely **** the bed against. Let’s smoke them both and let everybody know we are for real.

Re: Time to give Washington a rough welcom
 

Sooooo, would conjoined twins be allowed to wear the same number???

Re: Time to give Washington a rough welcom
 

Saints 33-13

Re: Time to give Washington a rough welcom
 

I think it’s going to be a low scoring affair. 17-7 Saints

Re: Time to give Washington a rough welcom
 

You LIKE THAT!!!!! Not this weekend.

Re: Time to give Washington a rough welcom
 

Yeah.. but we're riding on a 7 game winning streak.

'Nuff said!

Re: Time to give Washington a rough welcom
 

Surprised no one's said anything about this guy who definitely has something to say...

Re: Time to give Washington a rough welcom
 

Re: Time to give Washington a rough welcom
 

I mentioned it in another thread but this guy had two bone headed penalties vs MN that hurt his team. JG is far removed from the player he once was here. I hope he gets skull drug come Sunday.

Re: Time to give Washington a rough welcom
 

OL will put him on his azzzzz!
