KB, why did you resign to a loss vs Minn? I have that marked as a win. Close game, back and fourth but in the end, Skins will win. So crazy talk would be 8-3? We can only dream right!?

Atlanta embarrassed us last year and Minnesota embarrassed Atlanta last week. I feel we will be dogs that week so I gave it to Minnesota.

yup. it is crazy talk.

What games did I get wrong j_y?

Off the top of my head, Chicago, San Francisco, Detroit, and NYG. For starters.

Out problems have nothing to do with talent or scheme, but with attitude. Gruden's teams do not, and have never, had a winners attitude. Consequently, we lose too many games we should, or could, entire have won. Until the attitude/culture changes, we need to expect that we will lose supposedly winnable games with regularity. After all, we have consistently done that for Gruden's stint here.

I like the Vikes too, better coach, better QB, possibly better RB, better WRs …. better D with better DBs.

Barring injuries, I sort of agree with this but I am going to add one thing you may not have considered. The Snyder culture so take -1.5 and the record after 11 games is 5 1/2 and 5 1/2.

I'm on record for 6-10, but I don't think it's crazy talk to see a Skins team sitting at 7-4 if Trent comes back in the next two weeks.

5-6

I like the enthusiasm but the whole thing is very premature. We have already seen significant injuries for the Skins & other teams & it is only week 1. Let's see how teams fare health wise during the next few months. Take away a QB or other significant player from any given team & they are much more beatable.

Let's just start by seeing how this team fares this Sun.

 

[kbso83432]

I'm not predicting it. I'm still on record for 6-10, but I was running through the schedule and noticed that there were some winnable games stacked together in the middle of the season.

If they can get to Miami 2-3 they have a real shot to be playing meaningful games in November.

I honestly could see you guys at 6-5 if everything works out perfectly. It gets a lot tougher after that tho. Its the NFL, anything can happen.

Atlanta embarrassed us last year and Minnesota embarrassed Atlanta last week. I feel we will be dogs that week so I gave it to Minnesota.

Outsider view point.

Looking at the list...Feasible, but not likely.

Having watched that game last week, MIN is not that good and ATL is not that bad. There's no way a 10 pass attempt game would generate 28 pts more than once....But I will say Cook is a difference maker @ RB.

I would be leery of @ NYG and @ BUF.

Understand, but I still maintain that we have no idea about what players will be on the field for the Redskins & their opponents at that time. Example - for the games that are still a ways off we don't know if Williams, Reed, Guice or Allen will be not on the field, 100% or on field in a limited capacity. There are still a lot more players on all teams that won't be available moving fwd. I am going to worry about the next game - too many variables for future games.

i think 7-4 is possible . certainly it could fall close to being that way

but convincing fans of that on this board would be a hard sell

saying something is possible doesnt mean it will be , i would expect 5-6 wins

there is no one on this board who will convince me that if we play 60 minutes like we did in the first half of the eagles game that we cant make a little noise

its a prediction , that's what predictions do , its a guess , no more , no less .

Chill out - why do you care so much about the feelings of others? Personally I believe that most predictions are a waste of time (unless associated with a bet). However if you feel differently then more power to you. Enjoy your predication & don't worry if others don't agree with it for any reason. HTTR - just hoping for a solid effort if nothing else.

i dont expect anyone to agree with any of my predictions

as for the rest of your post i dont know what you are talking about .

saying its a tough sell to people on this board is the only thing i can think of but i doubt that rises to a chill out comment

 

[gkekoa]

We may beat Miami, the NYG, or neither. I think 2-9 is far more likely.

LOL - relax. Maybe I read too much into your feedback. No big deal. HTTR.
