Early Season Predictions??

8-8 would be disappointing.
9-7 would make me happy.
10-6 would make me ecstatic.
11-5 would bring me closer to god.

My prediction is 9-7.

10-6, 9-7, & 8-8 are all pretty good 1st season results for Gibbs to pull for, but the reality is 8-8 & under. I'm not wishing the Skins a bad season. I'm just looking at the team & realizing that it's gonna take another season before this system takes off.

I'll predict 10-6 when the skins have a true QB named going into camp. Until then.... 8-8 is the best I can do....

The Good:
1. Ramsey starts by week 4.
2. Portis gets 1,500 yards with 4.5 yards per carry (he's no longer facing KC twice a season).
3. Gardner bounces back for 1,000 yards on 70 receptions.
4. Shawn Springs has a great season.
5. Marcus Washington goes the the Pro-Bowl.
6. We go above .500 (9-7).

The Bad:
1. The D-line still can't get sufficient pressure on opposing QBs forcing us to blitz with the LBs more than we'd like to. The blitzing LBs leaves holes in our defense allowing big gains on simple RB-Flat passing plays.
2. Neither Brunell or Ramsey really shine, they're both just above-average, not spectacular.
3. Our special teams still can't play.
4. We miss the playoffs.

Somewhere between 8 and 11 wins is all I'm gonna say right now. I'd rather wait until the preseason is over to make more specific predictions, still need to see alot more to predict how things may go.

8-8/9-7, with a bumpy start as the O takes time to gell. We play meaningful games in December, but fall short of the wildcard.

Anything above 8-8 is a big success, given where we were last year and the big turnover in coaches and players. Plus, it will take some time for Gibbs and the old time brain trust to really figure it out. But when they do, I figure they will come up with some great plays to exploit the all-blitz, all-the-time defenses of today's NFL. Remember: Gibbs was 8-8 last time in his first year, and we know what happened next!

Gardner: our new Monk?
Look for Chad on third downs.
Will Cooley get in the mix?
Washington, Barrow, and Arrington: the real deal.
Taylor: Defensive Rookie of the Year candidate.
Brunell is the starter, mainly because of his veteran leadership. Watch how he talks to his teammates when he is on the field. Ramsey only if Brunell is hurt. No Tim.
No Name D-line does its job.
O-line is fine without Jansen; O-line is fantastic when he returns next year to lead us back to glory.

its impossible to really predict an exact number. because some games are evenly played and could go either way.

Like the rest of the people on the board, I think that the Redskins could win 8,9, or 10 games. 11 is wishful thinking.. maybe next year.

Lavar Arrington and Laveranues Coles conspire with Ladamian Tomlinson to form a separate "super" league composed solely of athletes whose name begins with "La".

In related news, Ladell Betts is politely asked to change his name

I am going to be conservative and say better than last year. lol
I think without this coaching staff we could go 8-8. With this staff I think it adds 2 more wins. So 10-6. It also varies how fast they can buy into the system and dont get into any ruts or loosing streaks. I guess I can't expect too much this year, but would beating the Cowgirls twice be asking too much? I think the line although will miss Jansen will be fine, even if they have to rotate a new tackle in each quarter.

OK I honestly make this prediction. It hangs in my office since they haven't been beaten this year yet.

16-0

When they have there 1st losss then my prediction will go to 15-1. I believe they will win and win again. If you all care to make predections which games do you think they will lose??
