Bearish Season Prediction

[BrunellMVP?]

11/5 vs. Cowboys 1pm ET FOX 11/12 @ Eagles 1pm ET FOX 11/19 @ Buccaneers 1pm ET FOX 11/26 vs. Panthers 1pm ET FOX 12/3 vs. Falcons 1pm ET FOX 12/10 vs. Eagles 1pm ET FOX 12/17 @ Saints 1pm ET FOX 12/24 @ Rams 1pm ET FOX 12/30 vs. Giants 8pm ET NFL Network

that is the remaining schedule...

Our side, Our O can't score, and Our D can't stop people from scoring...

That being said, lets see how we end up, and lets not forget, we have gotten blown out by dallas but for carwright's return, same with the colts and Randle El.

Dallas: Thought this was a win, but Romo looks good and we can't stop
the run. God I hope we win.
Eagle: mcnabb will find his touch vs our secondary...3 tds easy. each
game.
Bucs: Not a good team but neither are we...we'll see
Panthers: Solid Team. smith gets 2tds and 160 yards. foster runs for 130
and 1 td. Peppers gets 3 sacks.
Falcons- vick has tossed for 300 and 3 tds past few weeks...do you really
think we stop him? 2 tds thrown, 1 run, dunn gets in as well.
Saints- Solid team. 2 tds for brees. 1 for duece and maybe bush. same for
rams.
Giants: repeat of game in meadowlands uness they are benching their
starters....

i truly don't see a win (besides bucs), but think we will pull out 2-3. 4, if god really smiles upon us...

I wish i were kidding, but i think we are looking at 4-12 or 5-11...

hopefully Portis will dominate, and some of these predictions wont come true...fact is, the MOST we'll ever get out of brunell is 2 td and 225 (which is a large step up from current production)- and he cant do that week in, week out.

Do you guys really think our secondary is going to suck this bad when we have both starting corners back? Remember, it was GREAT when both Springs and Rogers were in there last year. I'm still worried about the run defense, but pass defense should be much improved. We won't have Archuleta playing a position he's not supposed to be playing.

[BrunellMVP?]

i do...i love springs, despite his being injury prone, but Rogers is not up to speed yet. He's been consistently burned by WRs no matter who he's been matched up against. while he's seen higher caliber WRs this year, having filled in for Springs, he's been burned badly...i don't think many would consider Williamson from the Vikings or anyone on the titans to be considered legit No. 1 guys. If plexico is covered, toomer will score. if TO is covered Glenn will score. if Stallwort is covered, brown will score. if steve smith then k johnson.

Don't you have anything better to do then come up with crap like this thread?
For God's sake man, IT"S DALLAS WEEK!!!!
Don't be such a DOWNER!~

[TheMalcolmConnection]

Please tell me who he has been consistently burned by besides Troy Williamson. It's been rare.

As a CB, you don't need to get burned consistently by a WR to be considered a failure. Getting burned for a big play here and there throughout a game is enough to lose.

Rogers has been a major disappointment. We drafted him 9th overall didn't we? He should be handling #1 WRs right now, if not completely shutting them down.

He'll do much better against the #2s. But still, Archuleta and Taylor aren't anywhere close to being on the same page. Their mistakes in coverage are going to expose Rogers for his imperfections. With safety play as bad as we've had, CBs have to be perfect or else they end up looking like shitake mushrooms.

This comment goes back to my original statement about Champ Bailey. Redskins fans were spoiled for several seasons while Champ was shutting down receivers week in and week out. Now we expect every corner out of the draft to perform at that level, but the fact is, very few corners before Champ, and none drafted since are as good as he is. Jammer, Newman, Pacman, etc. were all supposed to be the next shutdown corner, but they all get torched from time to time. Even Champ gets beat badly every now and then.

Rogers should be judged against his peers and not his predecessors, and against his peers, he's about equal.

[CanadianSkin]

I would like to add, that i have seen the Redskins play once in my life and that was a victory against the Seahawks a few years back. So the Skins are 1-0 when I am in the Stadium, and I am coming to the Falcons game, so my streak will continue and so that is at least one more win.

Buy the way I am looking for lower bowl tickets first or second teir on stubhub. Any tickets I should avoid, some say restricitve veiwing etc... A little help

Also I will be starting a thread closer to the date to find out where I can tailgate with any of you. Do I need a tailgating pass to join the party or is that something seperate?

[BrunellMVP?]

are you serious? please see any of the threads on carlos "cushion" rogers...

he's been next to useless

[TheMalcolmConnection]

I'll repeat, who has he gotten burned by again?

[TheMalcolmConnection]

I don't feel like getting the exact stats, but Rogers has only given up two TDs this year. That's like a fraction of the rest of the secondary. Add in the fact that we'll have Springs on the other side AND Rogers playing where he was meant to, and we'll be fine.

I also think that Rogers is far better than he is getting credit for. There's not a corner in the league that covers like Champ Bailey, so not every corner that Washington drafts should be expected to perform like him. Rogers may not play man coverage like Champ, but I think that's partially due to the scheme and injuries in the secondary. I do think he's a very good tackler as far as corners go though.

As far as the original post, I'd have to agree that 5-11 seems very likely with the current state of the team, but I'll reserve my final opinion until after the Dallas game.

[724Skinsfan]

As a fan of the Redskins, I don't see a point to this thread other than that maybe you're suggesting we don't watch the remaining games because we'll give up at 21 points and lose every game.

Here's my Bullish Season Prediction:

Dallas: This is a win, but Romo looks like a homo and we stop
the run. God I hope we win.
Eagle: mcnabb will find his receivers covered ...3 INT's easy. each
game.
Bucs: Not a good game for the Bucs...we'll see a totally dominating effort
Panthers: Sucky Team. smith does get 2tds and 160 yards. foster runs for 13 yards and 1 fumble. Peppers gets 3 face to face meet-n-greets with Sellers.
Falcons- vick has tossed for 300 and 3 tds past few weeks...do you really
think we stop him? Yes! 2 INT's thrown, 1 fumble, dunn gets stopped as well.
Saints- Average team. 2 tds for brees. 0 TD's for duece and probably bush. same for rams.
Giants: repeat of game in Landover (2005) uness we are benching our
starters....

Re: 724, yet another comically blind fan who refuses to legitimately look at the season prospects, but i hope he is right. i like how you simply dismiss all other talent in favor of your simple, yet elegant arguments (romo is a homo)...

as for rogers, are you really going to just soley based on TDs given up? i don't believe he's been only burned for 2, but i'll leave that alone. what about his large cushion that he gives to each of opponent allowing them to catch anywhere between 8-12 yards at will (even in 4th and 8 situations...i remind you...)

I mean, lets be honest. rogers has not shown an ability to people, that is prevent them from going for bigs days when he's defending.

I will attempt to locate stats for rogers, as i not have hard ones at my disposal. Do you?

I'll get some hard ones, but seriously, the secondary gets a bad rap SPECIFICALLY for the play of one Kenny Wright and less-so Mike Rumph. They abuse Kenny Wright and then the whole secondary looks bad.
