Dr. Z: Bears will beat the 'Skins

Man, I understand that I am a fan and all and my opinion may be somewhat biased, but I know the national level just has no faith in the Skins this year and no matter how out of touch I was with the skins, picking the bears is almost as bad as going out on a limb and saying the skins are going to the Super Bowl. The national media for the most part are lost and can't form an opinion of their own and only speak what is a blown out opinion by some other person who has no idea how to assess a team at the national level. We can all agree that the offense which was our weak link last year looks much improved from the same point last year, but even Paul Woody local reporter here in Richmond has picked them to go 5-11. What the hell are they basing there reports on? I guess they will all be jumping on the bandwagon here in a few weeks saying they knew Joe Gibbs would turn it around and they never doubted him and the team this year. I hope anyhow.

Seriously, I wonder this too. I dont mind if guys have us finishing with a somewhat bad record, but under what conditions are we such an awful team? Why do we have a QB controversy? Why is our defense going to decline? How is our offense not going to get better? Have these guys watched a f'n preseason game? I dont care how Ramsey Plays, I dont care how our recivers are....if our offensive line plays like they did in the preseason our offense is going to be better...alot better. F--- Dr. Z, F--- Peter King, F---- Pastaass, All Hail Joe Theisman.. Thank you Amsterdam, goodnight.

How can anyone seriously believe the bears will win?! In case the great Dr forgot we beat them last year and who on that offense is gonna score on our D?!! I really dont see many offenses on the schedule that strike a real fear into the heart of our defense(KC and maybe Philly), does anybody?!!!

I just dont see the Bears beating the skins but I was with a few Bears fans last week in Chicago and they are just licking their chops for this game (just like skins fans are doing). They just dont see the skins being able to run against the bears D and as for PR getting the job done, they see him throwing pics that will give their not so great O the field position it needs to win.

This is going to be a low scoring game..

My favorite prediction from Dr. Z was to pick the Chargers as the worst team in the league. These guys finished 12-4.

Great job Dr. Z! You f-ing moron.[/QUOTE]

:biggthump :biggthump :laughing2 Great stuff!

Can anyone post the whole article?
dude i wish but what the hail. I hate this guy

I have a few questions. Does he do this for every game or did he randomly pick out a relatively unsignificant game to write a page on?

This gets US crazy redskin fans all wild with anger till we actually spend money to read his bull.

if someone has it please post it though i would still like a look

I guess by now you know the rules of this thing. I don't pick a big-spread game -- I'm not trying to fatten up on puppies -- unless 1) it's a Monday-nighter or 2) I'm going for the upset. Well, I'm leading off with the game between Washington and Chicago, with the Redskins a serious favorite, so what does that tell you? You're right, they're not playing on Monday night, so I must like the Bears.

I can hear the folks in the Windy City laughing their fool heads off. Isn't this the guy who predicted a 3-13 record for our Bears? You're right, and I've been hearing it from the Chicago fans who got hold of my phone number. "Don't you know we've got a defense now, you dumb.... "

But here's the thing. I picked the Skins to go 4-12, and I've gotten even more calls from Washington (probably because it's CIA country, hence the leak).

A low-scoring contest is predicted, but in games in which both sides have dominant defenses, turnovers usually run high. Turnovers mean points, and I think that's what we're going to see on the scoreboard: turnover-induced numbers.

Bears rookie quarterback Kyle Orton is a mystery, which might not be all that bad. Washington's offense is known and unimpressive. And I've got a question for the superinfo people at STATS, Inc. Four quarterbacks who started at least one game for Chicago last year -- Grossman, Krenzel, Quinn and Hutchinson -- are missing from the Bears' roster on Week 1. Has that ever happened to an NFL team before? Anyway, the Chicago defense will do more damage to the Washington offense than vice versa, hence this big upset.

Upset No. 2: The Jets will beat the Chiefs at Arrowhead. This guy I know, Stevie Numbers, is tapping on the window. He wants to tell me that Kansas City has won 12 of its last 16 home openers. Right -- and lost four of the last five. Leave me alone with this historical stuff. You know what roulette players say: The wheel has no memory.

I'm sorry, but the circulation problems in Trent Green's leg bother me. Oh, he'll play, or the folks in Vegas would have removed this game from the board, but I don't know how well or for how long.

I'm on the upset wagon and I can't get off -- No. 3 will be the Cowboys to beat the Chargers in San Diego. With assistant Hudson Houck gone, the Chargers' offensive line is not as good as last year's, and Bill Parcells has been building a pass rush in Dallas all off-season.

Atlanta seems like an easy pick over Philadelphia in the Monday-nighter: home folks screaming, TO goading them to a fever pitch and so forth. It's too easy, which always makes me nervous. Philly's secondary will control Michael Vick, just as it did last year, and the Eagles will take it. The Bills will win big over Houston, which won't control the rush, and the Lions will whip Green Bay, which doesn't have the great O-line anymore. Remember what the Giants did to Kurt Warner in '03 at the Meadowlands? Harried him into a fumbling jag, then into the hospital with a concussion. Different uniform -- it was St. Louis when that happened, now it's Arizona -- but I'll go with the Giants again. And the Jaguars over Seattle. Finally, the Colts' Peyton Manning, who had a great game against the Ravens in December, will squeak one out in Baltimore.

Last season: 78-48

in the eyes of paul zimmerman, nothing about the redskins impresses him.

What a moron...

Even I think the Skins will win...easily on Sunday

The Skins have a much easier time than we do

What?? They don't see us running on their D. You have to be kidding me. Portis ran the rock for a stellar 171 against them last year. PLEEEEEEEZE. We will stomp the Bears......and I see portis gashing that D.
