The Washington Redskins vs The New Orlean Saints*

Not the easiest game for a rookie quarterback to kick off his career. RG3 faces a huge test, not so much in the Saints* defense but matching Drew Brees and their prolific offense. There is no doubt in my mind that Washington will have a top notch defense this season. That being said i fully expect the Saints* to hang 30 plus on them. Hey, its the Saints*, they score points. They've hung 30 on great defenses in the past namely San Francisco in the playoffs last season. My hope is that Washington can match them point for point and have a shot to win it late. My head says New Orleans wins it 38 - 28 but my heart says Washington 35 - 32.

Saints* will have a few banged up players on defense today. The only defensive player that worries me is Roman Harper, he's outstanding. I'm sure he's primed to welcome RG3 into the NFL. Washington will be without S brandon Meriweather. (knee)

RG3 will not be the only rookie starting in the Redskins backfield. RB Alfred Morris has earned the starting spot after a strong camp and preseason.

    • It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).   
    • Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️
    • It was always a matter of time with Cam’s playing style and a shorter shelf life than passers that protect themselves. I suppose Cam could have still been playing in 2028 ten years after the hit took place, but he would need to have evolved as a quarterback and become more of a passer than the dual threat maestro he was. It’s sad because it makes us think of what could have been, but I do feel it was always a matter of time until all the hits took their toll.
