irish 09-08-2010, 10:22 AM New here so maybe that's been the case on these boards in the past.
I personally don't fault you for predicting us to lose in a 17-10 and that's a very realistic and logical way of thinking imo....
And if we had Jason campbell,Jim Zorn and same staff,a 4-3 bend don't break have our CB 15 yards off the WR's....Portis and Betts and no improvement along the O-line....Moss and Randel El and company....
I would agree with you 100% Mredskins!
Actually...i would have us losing probably 24-7 or 24-10 or something like that.
My point?
People need to forget about last season...
Imagine we are an expansion team that added 13 pro bowlers on their roster with a franchise QB and a 2 time SB winning head coach with THE best opening week 1, 12-4 winning % in the league...
But you are still an expansion team and expansion teams dont do well. The Skins are much better than an expansion team, my problem is that the new QB hasnt had a chance to play in live action with the starters and to top it off he's hurt. I think the Skins might have had a better chance had DM played a traditional preseason but he didnt which is why I think they will struggle to score points in week 1.
aceinthehouse 09-08-2010, 10:22 AM Why do you think the rookie Dez Bryant will make a difference, but the veteran McNabb won't?
Exactly..
For all we know..dez is a cross between M.Kelly and Taylor Jacobs...
rarely do rookie wr's break out their 1st season. If Dez bryant was on ANY other team besides the ESPN Cowboys...We wouldn't hardly hear about him...
I mean,how long did we all remember hearing kenny britt's name before yesterday?...lol
1st round pick rookie in 2009
Honestly,I forgot he played for the titans...lol
seriously
Longtimefan 09-08-2010, 10:23 AM Not sure how any skins fan could pick Dallas to win. I know its just a pick but its dallas. I mean Homo and dallas. How the hell can you pick them.

Cowboys vs Redskins....no true Redskin fan could ever pick the Cowboys even if they don't think the Redskins will win.
No matter how hard I try, I can't erase the memory of the last game I saw McNabb pay in an Eagles uniform.
irish 09-08-2010, 10:24 AM Romo looked damn good in the preseason eh?
26/46 for 287 yards, 1 TD, 2 INT, 64.3 rating
Yeah that's sharp
It never ceases to amaze me that when the Skins dont do much in preseason (especially under Gibbs) they are being vanilla as to not tip their hand but others who dont do much stink. I guess thats another benefit of kool-aid.

Santana Moss.
Skins 27
Dallas 21
12thMan 09-08-2010, 10:27 AM I think our secondary will be our strength on defense this year. I like our starters on the corners; Rogers and Hall. I like what I've seen out of Kevin Barnes and while we certainly don't have any superstars at safety, although Landry certainly has the potential to be one of the best, we have solid guys at safety and good depth when everyone's healthy.
I wouldn't be shocked if we actually produced at least two Pro-Bowlers from the secondary this year, but the key is always a good pass rush which has been our achilles for the past few years.
To that end, I see us getting two picks from Romo. Will Hall take one to the house?
GhettoDogAllStars 09-08-2010, 10:29 AM This will definitely be interesting.
I think we might have a tough time with F. Jones on swings, and Witten will probably destroy us. I think we can shut down Austin, and R. Williams is a dud. Run defense is still a mystery to me, but I think Barber will probably smack us around a bit.
On offense, Ware will get the better of T. Williams overall, but McNabb will do his thing and turn a few broken plays into gains. Dallas' secondary will break down at least a couple times, and hopefully we can take advantage. Portis will get 100 yards rushing.
Skins 17
Dallas 21
skinsfaninok 09-08-2010, 10:30 AM Rob...Santana Moss ownes Dallas! So I agree with you, and ACE there is no way we score 41 points on the cowboys D.. Slow down my man, I think we are just as good as Dallas on D, they are better than us on Offense.. I still see us winning HTTR!!!!!!!!
sandtrapjack 09-08-2010, 10:31 AM No predictions, just 2 words...
GAME ON.
CRedskinsRule 09-08-2010, 10:31 AM But you are still an expansion team and expansion teams dont do well.

I don't think our Offense in general saw a lot of playing time. I believe that MS/KS really used pre-season to evaluate depth, and get a feel for what certain players could do. Maybe I am wrong, and this offense sputters about trying to find itself, but I think if that were the case we would have seen more planned and targeted play development. Instead we saw targeted player development. That goes for RBs WR's and OL groupings. MS/KS instill a lot of confidence in me that we are going to see an efficient organized attack, with our strengths (TE's, CP, and maybe Armstrong/Galloway) emphasized and our weaknesses (DT and Sanatana's tendencies to drop catchable passes, ineffective power runs) minimized except for the big play or necessary moments.
Having said that, I remember the opener with Gibbs/Saunders against the Vikings, our pre-season had been vanilla, and that first play everyone was shifting everywhere, but we still lost. So, I'll drink the kool-aid, but Sunday night the Skins better be tossing out the Real Thing!
