Without getting to far off topic about sea level rise. I see a clear window for this team to get to 13 wins. It involves the forfeiture of games by 13 opponents.

There's a better chance of the seas rising 13 feet next year than the Skins winning 13 games

[quote=REDSKINS4ever;1218809]I came across a video on youtube (link below) and this guy was saying the Redskins ceiling for 2019 is 13 wins...does any of you guys see this happening in any way ? Besides Jay Gruden finally reaching .500 and beyond is extremely long overdue.

I think you're on to something, certain seems realistic in that the season is 16 games so technically winning 13 is very possible. And when you think about how talented this team is I'd put good odds on it happening.

What say me and you do a friendly wager? I think the ceiling for the Redskins is just short of 13 wins, so let's say I bet you 1 grand that the Redskins won't win 13 games?

No, I haven't.

What do my living arrangements have to do with what the sea level is going to be in the future?

I didn't mean it literally. You questioned how BigHairedA know if the sea level will continue to rise. This question gave me an impression that you haven't been following news pertaining to climate changes.

I probably should not have said anything in first place as I don't want to hijack this thread. Back to the point of this thread - there is no way Redskins will win 13 games, simply because of the QB position. If we have had everything beside QB set in offense then there could be a chance; the reality is we have no WRs & TE (reliable, that is) who can help our QB.

how do you know the Washington Redskins will continue to be an NFL team?

I don't. I've never made that assertion.

Re: Is there any possibility the Redskins can win 13 games in 2019?

Time for a new edition of Offseason Fun Facts! Let's distract ourselves from the reality our team was trying to make moves for Joe Flacco.

The Redskins have just completed their 20th season of ownership under Dan Snyder. In that span, the Redskins have won the division 3 times (1999, 2012, and 2015), made the playoffs 5 times (1999, 2005, 2007, 2012, 2015), and finished 3rd or worse in the division [I]15[/I] times (almost split, 7 times in 3rd, 8 times in 4th). Our best seasonal record under DS is 10-6, achieved 3 times (1999, 2005, 2012). The only major NFL award anybody has won under Dan Snyder was RG3 - Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2012.

For the purposes of this argument I won't include ties as it makes things more complex, and a tie is neither a win nor a loss (and we also have 28 of them, most from the 60's or earlier when OT wasn't established yet. Since 1972 we have tied twice, once in '97 and once in 2013. Before 1972 we tied 26 times. In 1974 OT was established by the NFL.

Before Dan Snyder our all-time regular season winning percentage (ties excluded) was at .528 (461-411). During Dan Snyder's tenure he has achieved a .435 winning percentage (139-179), which leads us to our current all-time regular season winning percentage of .504 (600-590).

Which means, if we achieve ten losses next season, our all-time winning percentage would dip to .502 (606-600). If we go 3-13, it would drop to .500 (603-603).

If our pursuit of mediocre quarterbacks is to be believed, there stands a real chance DS would be in charge of the operation that took our all-time winning percentage from .528 to .500 in the span of 2 decades.

And if you're interested in some light statistics, here's where I sourced my info:

And btw if this post made you sad, don't look up who owns the best all-time regular season winning percentage, there's a shitty answer for that one too.

You can go by any measuring unit you want to and have this be true. Metric or U.S. Standard.

There's a bigger chance it rises 13 miles next year, than us winning 13.

Fuck me, lets worry about getting 10.

MTK, there is a better chance of my Tepee Hut idea coming to fruition than this team sniffing 13 win's asshole. Still love this team, but 13 wins isn't possible in a world inhabited by only unicorns.

The Redskins will be lucky to avoid double digit loses next season.

Re: Is there any possibility the Redskins can win 13 games in 2019?

Nice dream,but we will win-5 games maybe.

[quote=Giantone;1220199]Your Defense on paper anyway looks like it could very well be that good,why not ?[/quote]

The defense isn't set just yet....although we have officially replaced Swearinger with Landon Collins, we still don't know anything concrete about our inside linebackers....and we still don't have an edge rusher opposite Ryan Kerrigan.....we still don't know if Dunbar will be healthy for the start of the season with his nerve issue....all but the D line has questions.
