[quote=Hog1;545957]You are correct!
The whole hype thing in general is Out Of Control. I heard The "Doc" show out of DC doing a "Mock schedule" show the other day........please[/quote]I don't know why I'm curious but..

Were they even close?

Re: Washington Redskins 2009 Schedule
 

The early part looks pretty good but the last 4 games look very tough especially with 2 west coast trips. I think the teams needs to have 8 or 9 wins by the time they get to the Raiders game in order o have a cushion for those last 4 games.

I like the early part of this schedule more than last year's.

Re: Washington Redskins 2009 Schedule
 

[quote=nflnick11;545905]a few thoughts about the schedule:
The best possible record we can get on this schedule is 13-3

the worst record we can have not including major injuries is 5-11
[/quote]

16-0
0-16

:D



I like this schedule, it does look easier than last season's and I love the Bye in the middle rather than Week 4 like a couple of years ago.

I see [B]at least[/B] 10 wins, that's assuming the Giants beat us twice and we drop a few we should win, like a Dallas game...yuck.

We should finish 2nd in the division (New Jersey's DL is just insane...I don't see any other NFC-East teams winning many against them). PLAYOFFS certainly.

Re: Washington Redskins 2009 Schedule
 

[quote=gibbsisgod;545963]Did anybody check out the schedule for Dallas? Their home games are tough. It could easily be November before they win their first home game. I only see 2 home games for them that are gimmies.

Wow. Oakland is the only home game that doesn't look scary for them...OK...and Philly because they'll be in the Division basement this year.

Seattle CAN'T be worse than last year. They're the one team off the top of my head that was hurt by injuries worse than us. (Yes, remembered the Pats losing their pretty boy)

Re: Washington Redskins 2009 Schedule
 

Seattle's WR situation was awful. It reminded me of the Giants LB group back in '05 (i, think). They were signing WRs only to put them on IR a week later.

Re: Washington Redskins 2009 Schedule
 

[quote=JWDundees;545937]hate playing ravens, steelers, pats in the preseason. Those are 3 very physical teams that play the 3-4. so not only will that not allow us to get a good rhythm on offense...but we have to avoid injuries. Same goes for them...we play good D and will rough them up but our O is what needs to come together. Portis may not play a snap all preseason.[/quote]

Afraid Colt will get hurt?

They'll be protecting players just like us. I like putting the younger players up against tougher teams and schemes early...should help their development.

How about our LB corp in '06 LOL

Re: Washington Redskins 2009 Schedule
 

Our schedule always look favorable to me, its the team that beats itself time and time again. Not other teams

Re: Washington Redskins 2009 Schedule
 

Raiders aside, the 2nd half of the schedule is brutal, with 4 of the 6 division games, @ Falcons and @ Chargers. If the Skins can somehow go 5-2, 6-1 before the bye, they have a solid playoff chance.

Not sure how Doc did, but Kevin got "no hits"

Weird how the other teams are all "tougher" than ours when they all play mainly the same teams.

You know what that means, right? Dallas/NJ/Philly's schedules are all tougher because they play us twice. :)
