Portis: Redskins will be among top five teams

We should make history by being the first 5th best team in a 4 team division lol

You're forgetting about the Cardinals!

Geesh, Coach Gibbs and I are the only 2 people that remember they're in the NFC East.

12-4 here we come!

I more just meant with 4 teams there's only one way we're guaranteed a top 5 spot =p

It really all depends on how we start. If we can manage 3-2 or even 2-3 in our first five games, I could see us winning 10. It's all about how we start this year, and that's tough with a new HC. If we can manage a week 1 win in Giants' stadium (and given the miserable offseason the G-men had, it's a possibility), that could serve as a huge tone-setter.

True, but our opening schedule is very tough. Like NFLN said if we get off to a good start we'll be setting ourselves up for success but nothing's guaranteed especially with that schedule. Three division road games in the first five weeks not to mention the Saints and Cardinals, who aren't exactly pushovers themselves.

It makes you wonder how randomly the schedules are made up. Of those division games, I have a good feeling about the opener in NY. The Skins dominated the G-men last time there, and the emotion of an opening game on national TV should yield playoff intensity from both teams.

Did yall notice one of the highlights from training camp shows Devin Thomas dropping an easy pass?

I mean its cool he is confident but he always is confident. 2 years ago, during the off-season, he said that he would be getting 10 yards a carry with Saunders in his first year. Regardless of injuries, we were shit that year.

i'd rather the skins at least get into training camp before portis or anybody else makes such a bold statement.remember kitna for detroit last year????

Yeah I saw him make this prediction last night and the first thing that came to my mind was Jon Kitna last year. Way too bold of a prediction, way too early.

Would you guys rather he predicted we go 8-8?

This means nothing more than that the guys are buying into the new system, which is really the best we can hope for at this point.
