Re: 6 games to go... predict the stretch run
I said 4-2 which leaves at 9-7 and possibly in the playoffs... That would be amazing if it were to happen.

Re: 6 games to go... predict the stretch run
4-2 and the Skins narrowly miss the playoffs. And while I wouldn't discount a great run by this team, the way things are breaking down, it's going to be at least 10 wins to make the playoffs, if not 11.
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.

Re: 6 games to go... predict the stretch run
Based on the first ten games, I'm going with 3-3, but it could be as high as 5-1 if they can actually play a few games where both sides of the ball are clicking on all cylinders.

Re: 6 games to go... predict the stretch run
4-2 is definitely possible, at worst I think 3-3.

Re: 6 games to go... predict the stretch run
I think it could be a repeat of 05, they may lose the next one or the last game of the year, but I believe the Skins will win 5 of the final 6. The Bills, Bears, Giants and Vikes should all be W's. They'll either lose to the Boys or the Bucs, but they'll go 10-6

Re: 6 games to go... predict the stretch run
2-4, 3-3 at best. We're an inconsistent team. We play up and down to competition, we force games that shouldn't to stay close. While this week was a good showing by the team, I still don't think we're good enough to do much. I doubt we end above .500.

Re: 6 games to go... predict the stretch run
4-2.. Wins at TB, vs. Buffalo, vs. Chicago, vs. Dallas.. Losses at NYG and at Minn.. The 2nd half hinges on the TB game..

Re: 6 games to go... predict the stretch run
I think we make the 05 run again and will pick 5-1 and even maybe 6-0.

Re: 6 games to go... predict the stretch run
3-3 to finish 8-8. The bottom line is we are just an average football team.

Re: 6 games to go... predict the stretch run
I think if we can hold of Tampa Bay this weekend, we'll go 5-1 to close out the year. If the Dallas game was a sign of things to come for the offense, I think once Sean comes back, we can hold it down on both sides of the ball.
Dallas will most likely be resting starters and we'll be facing people like Brad Johnston and Sam Hurd the last game of the season, so we should be able to take that game. The Giants will still be fighting for their wildcard spot, so I think we lose up there, even though there's no reason we should considering they have far less weapons than Dallas.

Re: 6 games to go... predict the stretch run
A lot of it depends on this week. Big game in Tampa coming up to decide if we can make the playoffs or not, and frankly it really depends on whether Sean Taylor can play at a high level or not. If he can, we shut down a very efficient TB offense and give Garcia hell all day. If he can't we give up too many points and lose a second consecutive game on the road.
I foresee wins in both weeks 13 and 14, and I also feel that we will take one of two from the Giants and Vikings before losing to the Cowboys on the last week of the season. Even with a loss in the Tampa game, winning the next 4 wouldn't be improbable. If we are a playoff caliber team, we should be able to bounce back this week with ST's help.

Re: 6 games to go... predict the stretch run
5-1...I think there is a loss still left in there somewhere...but yesterday was very encouraging...if we can make it past Tampa next week, we should start getting healthy again...ST will be back, Thomas will be back...other guys will continue to heal, I think we are in decent shape to make the playoffs, I'm not sure how deep we will go after making it in...but it will be fun while it lasts.
