Bearish Season Prediction

I wish i were kidding, but i think we are looking at 4-12 or 5-11...

hopefully Portis will dominate, and some of these predictions wont come true...fact is, the MOST we'll ever get out of brunell is 2 td and 225 (which is a large step up from current production)- and he cant do that week in, week out.[/quote]

Good greif. Can't get more depressing than that. Our Secondary is back now, in full force, so I'm not sure I agree completley with this. We have Lloyd and Randal El to pick up slack for Moss, and Betts is a GREAT running back if Portis isn't well. We had the bye and have been able to rest and get heads screwed on straight. Untill the Dallas game is over, I'm not going to predict a damn thing. If they come out and have game on this Sunday, I think it's a whole new team and I'll believe again that we have a shot at the playoffs.

on scoring:
St Louis is averaging 23 pts/game. We're averaging 20 pts/game
closer than i thought (as are the stats), i would say, that 3 pts is not insignificant in the NFL...add three and change, and we beat minn and tenn.No certainly not insignificant. St. Louis is one of those teams who I would argue will be better on offense come the years end then us. But compare us to most teams, and I bet we come up favorably.

my 2 cents, take it or leave it...

there have been some good points brought up on both sides of the argument, and with 9 games left, 7-2 may not be enough for the playoffs.

However, I think you'll see a vastly improved defense with Springs back, and Wright/Rumph relegated back to 3 and 4 corners, and that depends on where Troy Vincent is on the field. And with Vincent on the field, you are going to see Archuleta and Taylor be able to play more of their games. While the LBs and DLine have been shaky at best, I can see improved play, especially if the injury bug finally leaves the DLine alone.

Offensively, the whole Brunell/Campbell argument is mute, as Brunell gives us the best chance to win now. If there is no Moss, that means Lloyd, ARE and Patten step up, and perhaps Brunell will stop zeroing in on Moss constantly once he returns.

Looking at the last 9 games, while 7-2, 8-1 and 9-0 are a pipe dream, they are feasible. I wouldn't dub it impossible, but impractical is more along the lines of thinking.

With Dallas, the odds of 2 road wins in a row are quite rare, so that is a plus going into Sunday.

Philly, coming off the bye, will be tough to beat at home. Especially if a 100% healthy Stallworth takes the field.

Tampa is a 2 headed monster, as they've won their last 2 at home...however, they come off a short week against division rival Carolina.

Home against Carolina, Atlanta and Philly will really be a test of might. If we can scrap 2 wins here, consider us lucky.

2 weeks on the road will most likely lead to 1 loss. I'm gonna say lose to Saints, beat Rams, as their defense much weaker than New Orleans.

Which leads us to the G-Men on New Years weekend. I'm going to go out on a limb, and say the G-Men will be gearing up for the playoffs, and won't want to lose any starters.

I'd love to see 9-0, but would be quite comfy with 5-4, as it would show improvement over the first 7 games, and lead us into 2007. While no playoffs would be a great disappointment, a .500+ records in the 2nd half would give hope to a vastly improved 2007, when we will see Campbell start.

I would like to add, that i have seen the Redskins play once in my life and that was a victory against the Seahawks a few years back. So the Skins are 1-0 when I am in the Stadium, and I am coming to the Falcons game, so my streak will continue and so that is at least one more win.

Buy the way I am looking for lower bowl tickets first or second teir on stubhub. Any tickets I should avoid, some say restricitve veiwing etc... A little help :)

Also I will be starting a thread closer to the date to find out where I can tailgate with any of you. Do I need a tailgating pass to join the party or is that something seperate?

I'm just as tired of this crap as you are. We will talk about the greatest Redskin season ever, and they will remember how they gave up, and shit on them when they were 2-5.:dallas: :point:
