Washington Redskins 2009 Schedule

Our schedule always look favorable to me, its the team that beats itself time and time again. Not other teams

Raiders aside, the 2nd half of the schedule is brutal, with 4 of the 6 division games, @ Falcons and @ Chargers. If the Skins can somehow go 5-2, 6-1 before the bye, they have a solid playoff chance.

I don't know why I'm curious but..

Were they even close?
Not sure how Doc did, but Kevin got "no hits"

For what it is worth. We do have the "easiest" in the division when looking at strength of schedule (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft09/news/story?id=4027503):

Weird how the other teams are all "tougher" than ours when they all play mainly the same teams.

You know what that means, right? Dallas/NJ/Philly's schedules are all tougher because they play us twice. :)

Tell 'em Buster! :woot:

Are tickets already on sale? Might need to go to the Skins / Chargers game on Jan 3rd.

It must be the offseason because this is a nuts thread.

Every year half of the playoff teams from the previous year fail to make it again. The fact of life in the National Parity League is that every year teams come out of nowhere to be good and teams who look tough implode. Every year talented teams underachieve and untalented teams overachieve.

No one knows who will be injured, and when.

And notice that the draft has not even occurred, so we don't even know about talent levels yet.

The point: none of us have a solid idea of who will be good and who will be bad, so rating the schedule now is an exercise in complete futility.

right now we have no idea who's going to suck and who's going to be good. it's all off of last year. wake me up when the draft starts.
