prediction time one more time

[jsarno]

I made a thread after the season ended and before any free agent pick ups asking what the redskins record would be this season, I believe the majority said 8-8.
After our great offseason, what does everyone think now?

[PennSkinsFan]

I think with the upgrades this team has made they are a legit 11-5 team, but i voted fro 10-6 because of the harshness of the schedule

[jsarno]

fair enough...I can understand since we have a lot of chemisty issues yet to be addressed.

[BackRow]

I still say 8-8. Remember we were 7-9 last year, so, 8 wins would be an improvement. I want OBC to prove me wrong, and show that he has managed to learn clock management. I won't believe it until I see it. The iggles and gints will be too much, we might get 1 win out of those 4 games, but we should own the 5-11 cowroids!

You read my mind ! Voted 10-6, but with a good performance from SP Teams we will see 11-5. Schedule is not easy but then again this 2003 version of the 'Skins is a hell of a lot better than anything in the last four years!

Then if we're going by past performances, we've only one of the past 11 games vs the cowpatties.

I expect a MUCH better season this year!!!
If you look at Spurrier's record, he has a history of doing poorly the first year then doing well his second year, and great his third year.

[dallasucks]

what no 16-0 ?!?!?!?! hahahaah just kidding I surprised you didn't have that as one of the choices. Look we are better than last year no doubt! barring any injuries, I would be happy with a 9-7 record, who knows maybe that gets us in the playoffs. BUt anything less than 8-8 and I would be very dissapointed. but with all this talk about how the season depends on Ramsey, I think with the tools he has now and a full offseason to work on it its Spurrier who will determine if we have a good season or not, how he ralies his troops for this season will probably dictate the rest of his pro-ball coaching career. YOu watch.

With a salary cap, and massive amounts of injuries as well as parody, we'll never see a 16-0 season. You just can't have the depth you would want. 14-2 is even pushing it...but you're only allowed 10 choices. If we can't manage 5wins, we don't deserve a poll anyway.
I'll be happy with a 9-7 season...at least then we'll be right in the thick of the playoff race. I can deal with that. I still say 11-5 though. :smash:

[TexSkin]

I went with 9-7. I am being conservative I know but we do have one tough schedule and alot of these guys will be playing with eachother for the first time.

[dj_stouty]

My original projection was 9-7...but I've gained some confidence in the Skins over the past month or so. (regardless of how hard the first 1/2 of our schedule is)

I going to go out and project a 10 - 6 record with a wild card spot in the playoffs. A 9-7 record would be acceptable, but I think our team is too talented for that...

[CarMike]

I said 10-6 before (I think) so I'm going with it again.

10-6

We will improve by 3 wins this year....Our schedule was much harder last year than it is this year.

[Texas Skin]

I couldn't Vote, there was no 16-0


Can this be fixed?:confused:

Nope...sorry..this can not be fixed. Looks like you're stuck with 14-2. Not too shabby. You will mental noted as the first!

[Shabba]

At this point and time, 9-7 seems to me to be the more realistic prediction. I would like to go higher but don't see it....yet.

[jsarno]

I find this interesting that the average pick moved up 2 wins. The majority of the picks were 8-8 with 7-9 coming in close second. Now it's 10-6 taking the lead with 9-7 doing pretty well.
Amazing how an offseason can win us two more games (at least in our minds).

[hail2skins]

I'm going with 9-7 even though I hadn't planned on predicting this early. I want to see a couple of pre-season games before I make my prediction. I feel 9-7 is safe for now.

Don't worry, I'll do another one when the season just about starts. I find it interesting that it's already changed 2 wins...I think we can get one more win out of this poll come seasons start!

[Skaggsrules]

16-0

Don't care about anyone else. Everytime i make weekly picks i pick the redskins to win every game.

I have never in my life gone into a game thinking we would lose, and I'll be damned if I start now.

[Spearfeather]

Still saying 10 - 6. That should get us in provided our division and Conference records are decent. The first seven games are the make or break part. If we can get through those at 4 - 3 or better, I think we make the Playoffs.

[Seebs]

10-6 at least....


At least I hope...

[Spence]

I went with 9-7. I hope I'm not setting myself up for another disappointment. Dunno how much more of this I can take. :banghead:

I think we all pretty much feel this exact same way!

[TexSkin]

Hey at least we are not Bengals fans!

Pretty soon being a bengals fan will be a good thing. They are doing a lot to try to change that team around.

i still can't get over '00. our secondary was too good

[TexSkin]

Uggh I cant help but forget it...thats when he who's name I wish not to speak soiled a good Skins uniform by wearing it. :banghead:

That's the poster example of the need for chemistry! I couldn't believe it either...especially after starting 6-2!!! But sh-- happens I guess, and the skins haven't been a true threat for quite some time.

[kelly]

[Skaggsrules]

Mark Carrier was cool but don't speak the name of that other horrible thing. ;)

[LadyNRedskinsfan]

i say 9-7. mainly because we have a tough schedule and a young qb.

[jsarno]

who was the crazy cowboy lover that picked 5-11???

SHIIIIIIT, I'd bet the house we'll be better than that!
