Re: Your final win/loss prediction for 2007
 

I'm going to say 9-7 and missing the playoffs, but just an ounce of above average luck will put us in the playoffs.

A lot of luck (and Philly getting massacred by injuries), could result in a division championship. Our division isn't all that good.

Re: Your final win/loss prediction for 2007
 

I went with my head over my heart and said 9-7. I'd love to see us go 10 and win the division but alot of things would have to fall into place.

Re: Your final win/loss prediction for 2007
 

10-6.
And yes, we'll make the playoffs.

Re: Your final win/loss prediction for 2007
 

I feel 9 and 7 is very possible, as mentioned before, with a little luck a 10 win season isnt out of the question, our schedule is pretty weak if you ask me.... just for the 1st fact of being in the NFC helps... If we can take a win against the Pats or Jets... that would be saying something as they are both away games against strong AFC teams... but its preseason, it all goes out the window once we see what kind of team we have with CP, CS, and PK playing their first games on 1st team....

Re: Your final win/loss prediction for 2007
 

The pride returns to the D. 10-6.

Re: Your final win/loss prediction for 2007
 

I have said all off season that we are 8-8 ish at best right now... I just haven't seen anything to make me "flop" (aka around the horn).... I hope I am wrong, but I don't see anything that seperates us from the pack yet.

Re: Your final win/loss prediction for 2007
 

11-4-1.

That's right. I'm calling a tie. Eat it.

Re: Your final win/loss prediction for 2007
 

I can really see 11 wins, but i'm such a homer I believe we can/will win every game. I can see us splitting the games in the division and beating the Dolphins, Lions, Packers, Cards, Jets, Bucs, Bills, and Vikings.

Re: Your final win/loss prediction for 2007
 

I'm feeling bold today, I'm going with 11 wins.

I think the D has returned to form and the offense will be much improved and really clicking by midseason.

Top 10 defense and offense = NFC East title.

Re: Your final win/loss prediction for 2007
 

I was dead on last year with Picking N.O. to win their division. My suprise picks this year are Washington and SF. SF isn't so much of a suprise to some people but I think they have what it takes to win that division.

10 wins and a wild card berth (but 11 is very, very possible)

Not to hijack this thread but I have to say that commercial is probably the worst commercial I've ever seen. For some reason that song just makes me cringe. It makes me want to break that guitar over that guy's head.

And this is the funniest commercial...

I had never seen it until last night and it made me laugh my ass off.

Re: Your final win/loss prediction for 2007
 

i vote 10-6, and i just think its odd that not one of us thought we would have a losing season when we went 5-11 last year. Are we kidding ourselves and just rationalizing why we will do well? I say no, but then again im kinda byist by being a huge skins fan.

Re: Your final win/loss prediction for 2007
 

I say 10-6 as well. The defense will be in the top 10 (as long as they stay healthy) and the offense should be at least in the top 15. I think Portis is going to have a huge year. He has a lot to prove.

Re: Your final win/loss prediction for 2007
 

I voted for 10-6. With a little luck they might be able to pull out 11 wins. Tough schedule as they play 9 teams that were above .500 last year.

Re: Your final win/loss prediction for 2007
 

I'm going with 11 wins. We will go 3-3 in the division losing to the Eagles and Giants on the road, and the Cowboys at home. The other two losses will be on the road against the Patriots and at home against the Bears.

1st round bye and homefield advantage for the first playoff game.

Re: Your final win/loss prediction for 2007
 

I went w/10-6 as I feel a good season is due, but we'll get a bad dose of reality at some point that will keep us from getting more.

I base this on:
1) Improved but not dominant D, we still can't get much pressure w/out sending the blitz.
2) JC & the O line staying healthy for the most part. We've been talking D all preseason cause of the drastic improvement there, but at the end of last year I was really excited for this offense under JC & coming into AS 2nd year. This unit could be awesome by mid season.
3) Turnovers - T. Boswell wrote an article in the wash post last year about how our luck was soon to change. That was when we still had a no. of games left in the season, yet our "luck" never changed!
It's just a law of avgs. thing, we can't possibly have so few turnovers this year, not w/the upgrade in the seconday & LBs. I see Rocky makin some things happen & Taylor snagging a career high in int.s

Re: Your final win/loss prediction for 2007
 

11-5, possibly NFC East Champions!

Re: Your final win/loss prediction for 2007
 

I'm saying 11+ wins and a first round bye. If we get some bounces and stay healthy I coud easily see 13 wins and home field. This is the year we get even and all the haters will have to endure many a chorus de "Hail to the Redskins".

Re: Your final win/loss prediction for 2007
 

I'm sorry. I'm one of those blind redskins fanz that always says his squad is going undefeated and in 2007 it hasn't changed. It's just me being a nieve diehard fan I guess. But that Patriots game looks real tough though.

Re: Your final win/loss prediction for 2007
 

5-11

Someone had to be the pessimist. :)

Re: Your final win/loss prediction for 2007
 

We're going to shock the world! Of course, if we don't stay healthy we're pretty much f'ed. With minimal injuries I fully expect this team to go 11-5. I have faith in Campbell, I think :)

Hail to The Redskins!!!

Let the Games Begin!

I am [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlEYCQHA4sg"]Excited[/URL]!

i believe they changed the rule to where they keep playing until someone wins.

i think they changed it like 4 or 5 years ago but i could be wrong

They did not change the rule. You can have a tie.

Re: Your final win/loss prediction for 2007
 

Before the preseason, I'd have stuck firmly at 8-8...I'm going to disagree with what someone else in the thread said...I think as a whole we have done some things to make you think we're a better team....I'm going to go 10-6, I'm sure we'll probaboly lose a game that we should win (like Buffalo) and we'll probaboly win a game we should probaboly lose (like New England)....

As long as were healthy, this team can compete, if we start losing key guys, I dont know if we have the depth anywhere but secondary to still be a top teir team...its always hard to tell...but I love my skins so 10-6

[QUOTE]Sudden Death

The sudden death system of determining the winner shall prevail when score is tied at the end of the regulation playing time of all NFL games. The team scoring first during overtime play shall be the winner and the game automatically ends upon any score (by safety, field goal, or touchdown) or when a score is awarded by Referee for a palpably unfair act.
At the end of regulation time the Referee will immediately toss coin at center of field in accordance with rules pertaining to the usual pregame toss. The captain of the visiting team will call the toss prior to the coin being flipped.

Following a three-minute intermission after the end of the regulation game, play will be continued in 15-minute periods or until there is a score*. There is a two-minute intermission between subsequent periods. The teams change goals at the start of each period. Each team has three time outs per half and all general timing provisions apply as during a regular game. Disqualified players are not allowed to return.

*Exception:[B]In preseason and regular season games there shall be a maximum of 15 minutes of sudden death with two time outs instead of three. General provisions that apply for the fourth quarter will prevail. Try not attempted if touchdown scored. If there is no score in the 15 minutes, the game shall end in a tie.[/B][/QUOTE]

Re: Your final win/loss prediction for 2007
 

10 or 11 wins .... we got this on lock

Re: Your final win/loss prediction for 2007
 

10-6 at best. more realistically 9-7

Re: Your final win/loss prediction for 2007
 

I really feel our D is fixed, (regardless of the Jags score), and our O will be tougher, to me that will translate to a 10 or 11 win season. We are more talented now than we have been in the past decade or so.

Re: Your final win/loss prediction for 2007
 

My position on the defense has not changed from a month ago. I still worry about this unit. What the preseason has shown is encouraging, but that doesn't mean a whole lot. The pass defense will definately improve though (with 100% certainty).

What did you say a month ago?
While I do not feel we will rival the Ravens, I feel our LB's get better, and our Secondary is twice, if not 3 times better than it was last year. Sure our up front 4 is weak, but with a strong secondary, and good lb's coupled with a healthy front 4, we should be a 5-10 defense this year.
