Skins will improve, but probably miss the playoffs by half a game to a game. Rarely if ever in recent memory has a NFL team so lowly thought of comes out and gets into the playoffs with a really solid record. That being said I will never again make a positive preseason prediction with the Skins. Why? Simple I always say 10-6 or 11-5 and the end up with the reciprocal record. Only time that hasn't happened was 8-8 Marty. Pick low and if they perform like they should, you will be pleasantly proven wrong. Pick them high and if they blow it you are bummed out for another whole frigging year.I have to agree with the Sporting News though anywhere from 7-9 to 9-7. THey will improve, but have 9 playoffs teams to contend with.

Two words: Old school.
Toughest team in the East which equals toughest team in the NFL. A few times this year the scoreboard may tell them they won but their body will tell them they lost. I feel sorry for anyone who has to come into our house.
Fedex isn't squat compared to RFK. RFK had the rabid fans, the stadium literally rocked and was extremely, extremely hard to win in. Fedex is just big, it reminds me of the Big House in MI. Michigan fans are rather lame and not really rabid football fans. For a stadium 100,000+ it isn't all that loud as say Ohio Stadium or LSU's stadium. Not knocking the Fedex crowd per say, but the RFK days had REAL Fans packing the house, screaming their heads off, while now you have the "casual" fan taking over the stadiums. Casual meaning not really into the game, but just there to party or something to do. I know Fedex can get loud, but with 90,000+ it should be deafening, especially with divisional games. This is not just Fedex, but everywhere, and not only in the NFL. The NBA is horrible that way. Last few times I have been to the Palace to see the Pistons you see a bunh of Oakland Co yuppies getting sloshed, paying little attention to the game.

WOW...and I guarentee that WON'T happen.
And i guarantee in that game Portis runs for 166 yards and 3 Tds and Betts goes for 114 and 1TD and Campbell goes for 2 himself. The defense forces 6 tounovers and everyone posts about how great the victory was.
Meanwhile EARTHQUAKE is appointed new nod for predicting the whole thing.http://www.thewarpath.net/images/icons/icon12.gif

WOW!
I certainly hope you're right.
So are you predicting a SB championship? If not...then how far will we make it?

We could go 16-0 and still not get 8 guys in the probowl. People hate us for some reason.
