Well they need to go 5-1 or 6-0 to abide my prediction of 11-5/10-6. I think 5-1 is a good possibility. I keep thinking that one loss would be one that we didn't plan to lose. I've thought the Bills, but there not nearly as effective with Lynch out.
I just want us to win this weekend. We've played really well the past two week but nothing to show for it. I don't see it happening, but still I don't want the team falling into a mental funk because they're playing so hard with no results.
I think we really, really need a W this weekend. If we lose that's three in a row and four outta five. Can't go there. If we go 5-1 down the stretch, the only loss IMO would be @ the Giants. If 4-2, then sadly I would say the other loss will be this weekend.
I really think we're going to go 5-1. The O-line and passing game have really taken big steps. Taylor and Thomas will both be back in a few games, and I think the offense is only going to get better.
We've got to establish more pressure on the QB somehow. It hasn't been awful, but it's not enough either.

I say if we end up BLITZING teams and not play Cover 2 and show the world how bad we are at it then we'll beat the GMen and Dallas and we could possibly win out 6-0 but realistically 4-2 MAYBE... 5-1

I think it's very doable for us to go on a 5-1 roll to finish out. Wildcard birth coming up.

4-2 is my vote!
I think that we lose to the g-men and to the bucs...but...you know there was going to be more!
I think we can go 5-1 or 6-0 if the offense opens up like in the past weeks. I have already heard rumors of our game plan against the bucs...pound the rock!
If we fall back to smashmouth then we will go 3-3. The NFL today is scoring TD's and the Skins don't have the hogs up front right now to do what we did before in December. Look at the Pats and Boys. Throw more in the end zone not short and hope to run it in. Philosophy is the key!
I am not saying to abandon the run either. Portis needs about 20 carries and JC needs to throw about 25-30 times a game. Betts can get 5 to 7 carries. Balance is the key.

I voted 5-1 based on strength of schedule. However, it remains to be seen whether or not the Skins continue to let Jason Campbell throw the ball like they did against Dallas or if they go back to the predictable run, run, pass offense the was (imo) offensive. It was obvious that they threw Dallas off by letting Campbell out and it worked. With a healthy Sean Taylor I believe the Skins have the capablity to beat Dallas at home. I also believe they can beat TB, Buf, Chi and Minn. The question with Minn is can they stop Adrian Peterson. Well, for that matter, can anybody? I think they can win this game because the Skins offense can put up more points than Minn, Peterson or no Peterson. The Giants game is the one doubt I have. Their pass rush is dangerous and it is unknown if Randy Thomas will be healthy. That being said, it is difficult for any team to run the gauntlet. (For God's sake, will somebody please beat the Patriots!!!!!)

5-1. We can beat Dallas with Taylor back.
Punt game. Dallas will rest starters for the playoffs. Washington will win.

I couldn't decide between 4-2 and 5-1, so I chose 5-1 as a homey pick...either way, I have no doubt we will make the playoffs.
