The first "official" Redskins SB Pick

That is great. Maybe we can even go 16-0 baby!

That is straight up craziness!

I agree!!!! We will beat KANSAS CITY in the SB!!!!

kansas city? no way, they wont be there. Holmes and Green are goin on the decline and their d didnt get any better really, siiavi wont help them enough to take them to the next level

Big C: I was being facetious in response to an earlier post. It did not matter what AFC team I mentioned - it could just as well have been the Chargers. But since you bring it up, I actually DO like the Chiefs or Colts to make it to the Super Bowl. I FOR SURE have not seen the decline you are talking about!! (Holmes coming off injury: 2110 combined yards!!, career best 27 TD's; Green: career best 63.1% completions, career best 4040 pass yards, 26 TD's - 1 less than career best). If they can fix that problem defense, they will be right in the thick of it for the AFC championship. If you want to pick at them, the offense is not the place to start. They had way more points than any other team in the NFL last year, and show no signs at all of letting up.

the fact is, the two are past their prime, both are aging, i think green will be 35 this season, and holmes 33. I dont believe they can both continue to produce as they have been. They also lost John tait, their right tackle, so their offensive line will be weaker, and their recievers are mediocre at best

wow priest holmes is actually only 30 years old...nvm

That's right, BigC, your facts of 33 and 35 were both off a bit. Holmes is 30, Green 33, and neither has shown signs of a dropoff - they each had their best season ever last year. As far as the weak receivers, I agree. However, with those same weak receivers the Chiefs clobbered every other NFL team last year in points and yardage. All of the experts I read do not expect that huge letdown by their offense that you mentioned.

And as far as age being a definitive indicator of performance, consider this: John Riggins had his best year ever in 1983 with 1347 yards for 24 TD's in 1983. He was 34 years old. And his second best year in both categories was 1984 at 35. Power backs like Holmes and Riggins seem to enjoy a longer NFL career than the shifty runners like Gayle Sayers. And QB's often enjoy great success until past 35. And even at 34, Riggo could carry over 30 times in a game and just seem to get stronger as the game went on. His big yardage was often in the 4th quarter.

still think theyll have a dropoff...ok i messed up...maybe though, just maybe

I hear you, Big C. We all think we know what's gonna happen, especially the experts. But your opinion is as valid as any of them...

hell with just mentioning carreer best years, didnt Priest break the all time touchdown single season mark last year? The Chiefs and Packers did put up yards but it game from their hbacks, niether had great receivers. In fact id say the Chiefs have one of the weakest receivign cores in the league, but they do have Tony. And the packers had so many injuries last year. At one point wernt their three starting receivers all injured. Wasnt it Driver that had a neck injury? I had Priest and Ahman on my fantasy football team last year and thast why i won my league, they both know how to score when it coutns.
