Kirk Cousins missed so many open guys. He looked like Rookie Andy Dalton out there.. high throws low throws crazy out of bounds throws. He made Pitt D looks good.
Early in the game the Redskins D had a fairly ferocious pass rush, they got to Ben and made him fumble on his own 15, but somehow didn't get it when clearly could have.
Pitt really took over the time of possession in the 2nd quarter and third. They continually converted 3rd and short and 4th and short, tiring Redskins D. Also they had the worst corner ever on Brown.
So IMO, our offense will have plenty of opportunities to score, and Good Andy (remember good/bad Andy) will show up and take advantage.
As for defense, we need to make some short yardage stops, we can't let them convert on 3rd and 1 sort of situations. Can't let our defense get winded. Time of possession will be a major factor in this game.
Still sticking with my 23-17 prediction, these Pitt games are always close.
Washington couldn't adjust when Pitt went into a hurry up.

I'll predict the line will play much better but the secondary makes some mistakes that have us screaming. They still manage to sack Ben 3 times and Andy has another good game. Eh why not, lets say Hill gets the go ahead TD as he hands the ball to the ref and the D makes a big stand late.

I predict the Stoolers will intentionally maim AJ Green at the start of the game. No need for me to elaborate.

I know it is really hard when you think the refs aren't seeing stuff. But complaining is just the wrong way to go. It irritates the refs and lets the other team know they're in your heads.
I really hope we can change one of the few areas of our team culture that hurts us. Other than that we have an awesome team culture.

I disagree. Breeland should have complained last night. He should have called for pushoffs. He just sat there like a deer in the headlights. Pacman would be in that refs ear, and for good reason. It gets viewed as whiney but the average fan but DBs need to do that stuff sometimes.

Hate to pick against us, but hard to see us winning this one.
Pitt wins 31-24

You are right. Sometimes the DB needs to call the ref's attention to something he is missing. The rest of the time just get up and move on... and look for the opportunity to make a legal payback. That's what gets in the other team's head.

That is my score as well, but it could go wither way. I'll home out and go with Andy being pissed off about missing the PO game and AJ continuing his dominance in a career year.

Agreed, there is a fine line between alterting the refs and complaining. Pacman sometimes crosses that line lol.

The stoolers are nowhere near as good as the skins made them look, and we're not as bad as the jets line play made us look.
Bengals in another squeaker - and I also fully expect a cheap shot on AD#14

Two things have to happen for a victory:
1. Bodine has to learn how to play center at an NFL level.
2. We can't let Williams run all over us !
If these two things happen we have a good chance.

DeAngelo Williams just had a 143 yards/2 TD game Monday night.
Considering how much trouble Forte gave us, it could be a problem.
