Well both those might be true, but nonetheless we still have a very good shot of going to the playoffs, for the simple reason that our schedule is weak. Teams who we are playing that had a top 10 pick- Arizona, Miami, Minnisota, Detroit, and Tampa Bay. We are also playing Buffalo, who sucked last year and only got worse in the offseason by losing London Fletcher, Takeo Spikes, Nate Clements, and Willis McGahee. We are also playing Green Bay who is so bad, their own legendary Quarterback was thinking of being traded. Chicago is having many off the field problems and might self destruct as a result. The giants are weak, and we play them twice; they have one linebacker, a weak secondary, no quality running back, and no left tackle. Without Garcia this year, the Eagles will not be so great when (not if) McNabb gets injured. By my count that is 9 games against poor teams, and 3 against teams with potential major problems. That leaves 4 games against quality teams that dont have any problems, and two of those games are against Dallas, which we have to beat at least once or the world will end. Also, the NFC is so weak that we dont need that great of a record to get into the playoffs.

off topic- I thought Julius Jones was released, but NFL.com says hes still a cowboy, am I crazy or is there a typo (maybe I m mixing things up and was thinking of Thomas getting traded).

all this talk every year of playoffs, how about some talk of just finishing 500? No schedule in the NFL is a sure thing, or easy win. I dont think Arizona is going to be a push over, they are young and have a ton of weapons. Tampa, correct me if I am wrong, beat us last year. And they now have a pretty good QB in Garcia. Miami had one of the best D's in the NFL, same goes for Buffalo. Giants are weak? where is that coming from? they made the playoffs last year and have the same team (minus Tiki - A BIG MINUS) but I think they will be just as good. Plus Philly twice, and Dallas twice. Minnesota beat us last year too!! I think everyone should just relax with all this playoff talk and wait and see's what happens on the field. There is absolutely no reason to realistically think we are going to the playoffs. At this point, we have to be picked to come in last in our division, AGAIN! I obviously hope this doesn't happen, but every team in our division made the playoffs last year, in a pretty weak NFC conference, where 8-8 got some teams in. We couldn't even win 8 games. (not even 6)
I am choosing to be a little more reserved in my predictions this season, or any season, unitl I see some consistant winning.

look it guys, I'm as big of a skins fan as anyone on this site . I always root for ther redskins. i believe well have a much better year than last , but i think its WWWWAaaayyyy 2 EARLY 2 start talkin about if well be a playoff team. i justr hate to talk all that smack about what the skins will do and then have it blow up in my face. im guilty of that in seasons past( u wouldnt believe that amout of smack i have talked about the redskins for 30+ yrs) and prefer to just be optimistic... anyway well have a much better record this yr....gawd i love this site

I'm not going to talk about PLAYOFFs until I see how these guys are going to play. Each year the team develops its unique identity ... and this year is still TBD.

u still gotta be positive

I am still trying to figure out why we didn't make the Playoffs last year honestly. To be a playoff team one year and just fall off of the map it doesn't make any sense. To be honest I believe that we are a PO team, but I am tired of the excuses, I want results.

IMO I do not care if we do not win another SB in the next 5 years as long as we are consistently good and make the Playoffs. A Superbowl just means that you were great one year, but to keep going to the dance means that you had a great team.

There are several excuses, but excuses didn't prevent Seatle, Dallas, NYG, or Philly from making the Playoffs.

better yet we tried to get too cute and failed horribly

[KLHJ2]

True, but I think that we will be able to get a little cute this year, with all of the cohesion they apparently have, or will have.

You are correct, that is why I said a little cute. They only need to get cute at times to take the other teams focus off of us pounding the rock.
