I Hate Predictions

I say this as a die hard skins fan that does enjoy seeing our beloved team spotlighted, however I think enough is enough. I can't turn on ESPN without seeing "Expert" analysis. I hear good things about the Redskins and bad things about them. Ive fell in the trap every year of getting pumped just to have a dreadful season. Its not that I'm not optimistic, and I can only pray this will be our year, but I just can't stand predictions at this point. Lets just play Redskin football, fuck the nonbelievers but lets not throne us superbowl champs quite yet.

I hate predictions too, but what else is there to talk about?

haha talk about the bullshit so called "expert knowledge" on espn

I don't pay attention to the so call "experts" predictions they all contradict themselves andm ost of them don't have a clue I make my own on what I see on the field and training camp if somebody is going to be wrong it's going to be me

I just hate how some of the espn "experts" aren't experts at all, and probably don't watch half the football that the people watching espn do. I guarentee I could outpredict 75% of those "experts". Some people are picking the redskins to win 6 games, that is ludicrous. And what the hell makes people think the rams are gonna be good????

Exactly its just stories to take up the hour long talk shows. Yea the Rams where the hell did that come from?!!

The worst is how people are trying to predict what eli manning is gonna do. Eli manning doesnt know what eli manning is gonna do, I swear the kid shows up high on a different drug each game. And ROMO....who the hell knows. The only constant is the eagles, and they rely so heavily on a constantly injured QB. So once McNabb goes down....it's a complete tossup dependent on young QB's performances. I'd say the redskins rely the least on their QB so they are in decent shape offensively. So after all that.....I think the division is going to be very close with 4 teams all near 500.

Dallas is probably looking the most promising cause they are the youngest and returned most players. But Dallas has no character, and without parcells, the discipline might turn for the worst.

Overall.....the experts have no F'n clue with regards to our division, and they should admit that they are full of S***

After 10,000 simulations and computer modeling FOOTBALL OUTSIDERS: Football analysis and NFL stats for the Moneyball era - Authors of Pro Football Prospectus 2007 (http://www.footballoutsiders.com) has the Skins winning 8.5 games, with a 20% shot at the division and a 30% shot at the playoffs. Meanwhile their computer modeling predicts that the 'Pokes win 6.5 games with a 4.3% chance at the division and 7.2% chance at the playoffs. Gotta like that. 8-9 wins seems about right for the 2007 Skins, though my heart says 10-6, but the schedule ain't easy. I just ordered Football Outsiders Football Prospectus after reading Greg Easterbrook's TMQ column yesterday and look forward to reading it.

I just hate how some of the espn "experts" aren't experts at all, and probably don't watch half the football that the people watching espn do. I guarentee I could outpredict 75% of those "experts".

Lets test you. ESPN will have its people make their predictions by tommorow so lets post them and you can post yours and we will see how you do. I guess anyone for that matter could test themself against them and maybe we could make that a weekly post to pick against the so called pros. and see how we do.

I won't have confidence in my week 1 picks, but I would have confidence in my standings projection picks. week 1 is a tossup
