2006 Predictions

I also agree with 12-4 and yes that will win the East. We'll sweep the East. ;)now thats bold

does this win the east?

It does

I thiink we lose 3 games---- we split with the giants, we lose to the bucs(but thats not gonna be an easy team for anyone to beat this year especially if they get woodson----top 3 defense in the league) and I could see us losin one to the Panthers(cause we are gonna be worn out after that stretch of games against the colts ,the boys, the eags, the bucs then the panthers all in a row, wow.

Trust me, I would like to think that we sweep Dallas again, I just don't see them putting up with getting beat at home... twice in a row.

Two arguements:
- Pro: Week two game, both teams healthy, but our team "should be" working better together.
- Con: They aren't going to take another beat-down at home from us, if anything, this will be the one game they play the hardest.

Well, during that streak they certainly did it to us. Why can't the Skins return the favor?

Actually, I hear what you're saying. You've got to know that they've circled that September 17th date and are treating it like a Super Bowl. But if we can somehow muster the same emotion and furious efficiency that allowed us to dominate and whip them in the second game at Fed Ex Field last year, no team can beat us. But if the Cowboys have that same type of emotion built up, and the Skins are in a half-ass kind of mood, then watch out.

I think we will win 2 games more than last season, when we had a ridiculously difficult schedule. This schedule is no cake walk either, but it is easier and I believe we have improved as a team.

The games that scare me:

vs. Colts in Indy
Panthers at home
at Tampa
at Dallas

Other than that, I think we should have a clear edge going into most of these games.

12-4. If we're lucky and stay healthy, 13-3.

We win the East.
We get a 1st round bye.

After that, we'll just have to see.

Which Woodson are you talking about the Bucs getting? Charles Woodson? Either way, you're right, the Bucs will probably be even tougher this season, as last year it seemed they overachieved a bit.

all the afc teams scare me because for some reason in the past couple years we haven't been able to beat an afc team even when we should i.e. the raiders. I think the last afc team we beat was the patriots in spurrier's first year.

They will likely look at this as a do or die game in week 2. They will (likely) be 0-1 to our 1-0.

12-4. The losses are to Dallas in week 2, Phili in week 10, Tampa in Week 11, and the Giants in Week 17, assuming a meaningless game.

4-0. Toughest AFC game is gonna be the home game vs. Jacksonville. It's a huge statement game. Colts shouldn't be much of a problem, and neither will the Titans. Texans are an interesting matchup, but still, are a win
