Season expectations poll

After going 3-0 I must say I really had high hopes for the redskins. Then at 5-6 I definitely thought it was going to be another 7-9 or 8-8 seeason. Next came the 5 game winning streak and the playoffs. I was nervous about playing Tampa even though I thought we probably had the best chance to beat them over any other choice. Then of course was todays Seattle game that we were actually in until late in the 4th qtr. I loved Redskins football this season, and Im a little bummed that we have to wait a long time for more Redskins football. All in all if was a great season and exceeded my expectations. Im on the road to XLI now.

Definitely exceeded mine... if someone would have told me back in August that the Skins would go 10-6 and win a playoff game I would have been pretty happy about that.

We had a hell of a season, from sweeping the Cowboys and Eagles, to winning 5 in a row to claw our way into the playoffs, I'm very satisfied and it's really fun to be a Redskins fan again!

I always thought we were a 9-7 to 10-6 team talent and coaching wise. All we needed was some luck and health. I thought 10-6 was a reasonable expectation. And I thought 10-6 was probably good for a WC. Playoffs are unpredictable at the begining because how can you tell how weak a conference is and whether a WC even ahs a chance. Getting in and winning fit this teams talent but the playoffs are a weird animal man.

PS: I love the Skins. I might stay up all night writing about them.

Memories that noone can take away.
Moss on MNF in Dallas.
Taylor in Phili and Tampa.
Portis in AZ.
Cooley vs Dallas.
ETC ETC ETC.
Exceeded my expectations. Lotsa dramatic games and a real team feel to the organization. And Williams is staying. XLI here we come, GO REDSKINS!!!

good point. i will always remember the Tampa playoff game and the two dallas games as high points of the season. Also the five game stretch.

It is sad to say but it only met my expectations. I thought we would go 10-6 and enter as a wildcard. I always joked super bowl but really i thought we would lose the first or second round of the playoffs and if lucky maybe get to the third. SO i guess it landed in the middle at the second round so it MET my expectations.

Based on my feelings in August, it exceeded my expectations. I thought we could make the playoffs, but 8-8, 9-7, would not have shocked me. We have a lot to build on and are a few pieces away from having an even better shot next year. Now that we got back into the playoffs, next year lets get homefield.

I actually said 10-6 before the year, so I said met my expectations. However, taking things into context, they defintley exceeded them. This really was the most memorable season of my life, which I cant even describe how awsome it was. Sucks it had to end like this.

even though I've been extremely optimistic at times this season, I didn't think they would have made this much of an improvement in the areas they needed to after last season. I think the accomplishment I'm most proud of the skins acheiving this year other than their first playoff victory in 6 years is a 5-1 record in the division with our only loss in the division coming off an absolute fluke of a game. You did damn good this year Skins and lets keep the improvements coming. :towel: :httr: :httr: :towel:

If you told me that the Redskins would eliminate and sweep Dallas and Philly,
end our regular season at 10-6, eliminate Tampa in Tampa by 7 points then take Seattle down to the wire and lose in the playoffs, I would call you a wishful thinker. But next year looks very promising. A second wideout (Brandon Llyod ) to compliment
Moss and another running back to compliment Portis. In addition an explosive defensive tackle and end and we are looking at a team who can win 13 games.
