The Redskins will make the playoffs this year, laugh all you want. They were 5-11 last year, lost many close games, had many injuries and shitty QB play. This year we have a rookie QB who is light years better than last year, a better OL, WR, TE, LB, DL and depth. The only weakness and it actually could be an improvent is the secondary, but it is still flawed somewhat.

Amen bro! I say 9-7 but idk if that's enough

there is no excuse not to put up points against N.O.. If we don't come out with at least 21 points I'd be worried

Yeah, but it's gonna take 40 to beat them.

Opening with the Saints away is a tough way to start a season.

Not after we go there and steal a win. Every season there is a surprise win on opening day, why not be us?

I expect us to win that game against a team who's missing their best coaches and half their defense, a new guard, and different wideouts. Especially if sproles is hurt still.

Exactly.. only thing is keeping them off them field

Thought the win over Indy showed some real good things. RGIII has elite talent. We have a great competition going at WR. Morgan has already flashed some awesomeness and Hankerson seems to have great hands. The last two WRs to make the final cut should have great potential.

Morris...deserves his own paragraph. Ran against the first teamers behind a pretty underwhelming line and consistently gained ground. Hopefully next year between a fully recovered Hightower, Morris and healed up Helu as our change-of-pace threat we'll be a dominant rushing offense.

And the defense is already solid as long as Fletcher is on the field. If the secondary can tighten things up it could be a special defense.

...definitely looking forward to the opener

Lot's of optimism around here. Indy is a bad football team people. They won 2 games last year. Anyone remember the Bears game? Their 1st team against ours?

Bad teams we played last season:

Cardinals, W 22-21
Rams, W 17-10
Bills, L 23-0
Dolphins, L 20-9
Seahawks, W 23-17
Vikings, L 33-26

See the reason for excitement now? Even our wins against the worst teams in the league, we couldn't take them by more than 7 points. I just re-watched that Cardinals win last week and it was a nail-biter.

I think we're better on paper but paper doesn't win games. Not getting my hopes up after a convincing win over a bad team in pre season. If we lose to New Orleans, which I think we will, I want to see a close game in which the offense scores points. Then I'll have some optimism. We've been down the pre season hype road before. See Osaka.
