Re: 6 games to go... predict the stretch run

I was torn on this one. I wanted to say 6-0 based on the overall team effort yesterday at Dallas, but to be "realistic" I chose 5-1 thinking we'll either lose this week at Tampa Bay, or against Dallas at the end of the year. I think a lot will depend on injuries and guys coming back from injuries, but if we can squeak out a win at Tampa Bay this week I may change that to 6-0.

Re: 6 games to go... predict the stretch run

My orig. season W-L prediction for us was 9-7. So, here's what I think will happen for the remainder of the year:
Bucs-W
Bills-L
Bears-W
Giants-L
Vikings-W
Cowboys-W

3-3, if Dallas is resting its starters in the final game; otherwise 2-4.

I'll actually feel like 7-9/8-8 would be decent progress given the injuries and JC's inexperience...

That was my recipe for the playoffs after the Philly loss. I pretty much accepted that yesterday would be a loss going in, but the way the team played, I feel even more strongly that 4 wins against your listed opponents is very achievable.

A said 4-2 but it could be better if Sean Taylor returns soon.

Agreed!! Every game left needs to be played with high emotion, as if it was a playoff game.

The 'Skins should have played EVERY game this year as if it were their last. Yes, they played very well yesterday. But you just never know which team will show up week in, week out. let's hope they keep rolling and avoid further injuries and get some injured players back in the mix.

This morning, I heard on Redskins Radio that Taylor won't play next week against Tampa. If that's the case, we could see a similar gameplan from Tampa that the Cowboys used yesterday. Galloway isn't quite TO, but he is a burner.

IF we DO NOT have the lead going into the half, they may be able to pull out some more W's

Recall the playoff game where Taylor was ejected. Before the ejection, Tampa got nothing beyond 10-12 yards in their passing game. After that, they continually had chances downfield. This is the type of game where if we get a lead, Gibbs/Saunders must go for the blowout to take a defensive secondary breakdown out of the equation of a win or loss.

Re: 6 games to go... predict the stretch run

I said 4-2.

Wins against: Tampa, Buffalo, Chicago and Minnesota

Losses against: NYG and Dallas

Could be 3-3 if we lose next week. I'm also not sure how much Dallas will play their starters in the last week of he season- pure speculation now but...

Re: 6 games to go... predict the stretch run

Does anyone really know when we get Randy Thomas back? That really could make a difference. If anything, maybe down the streach it will make Joe Gibbs go for it on 4th and 1 more often. (I am still frustrated by the decision to attempt a 50 yard FG.)

I think 3-3. Gibbs 2.0 has a pretty lame record after Nov 1 and I just dont this year being any different.

Win: Buf, Chi, Min
Lose: TB, NYG, Dal

I say 3-3 at best, but it doesn't really matter.

If we lose to TB this week we are done. There is no way we'll get a wild card spot with a 3-4 record against NFC teams and 1-3 against NFC east so far, all the tiebreakers will go against us even if we end up 9-7.

While 9-7 doesn't sound like an accomplishment, it's a 4 game swing from last season, and only the 2nd second season better than .500 since 1999. Something to hang the old hat on moving forward. Don't get me wrong, I will be greatly disappointed if the Skins don't make the playoffs...just have to take things into perspective sometimes.
For it to take 11 wins to make the playoffs the Lions have to win out. Playing GB twice that will not happen.
