bubba9497 Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 I don't think Clayton has any hatred or hidden agenda's in his reporting unlike several other known colleagues. He may not always have a clue, but it is an honest mistake, not some spin, or attack against a player or team. and of all the expert predictions of the second half of the season... his is the only one I've read that actually has a logical explanation... not wishful thinking behind it.

Yes, for the most part... but I think he tries to be too nice sometimes, and gets duped easily (Like The Spurrier to Miami story) But he doesn't sway his reports on purpose.

skinsgoingtosuperbowl Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/story?columnist=clayton_john&id=2217806 NFC East: Based on the schedule, the Redskins might have the best chance to pull out the division. This four-way race, though, should go down to the last two weeks. The Redskins' remaining foes have a combined 34-31 record, and the biggest challenges should come within the division. The two games against winning teams outside of the NFC East are vs. the Bucs and Chargers. They have winnable games against the Raiders and Cardinals. That's a far cry from what the Cowboys face. The Cowboys have the toughest closing schedule in the division, against teams with a combined 39-25 record. Six of their next seven games are against winning teams, and they close with a tough one against the Rams. The other problem is location. They have three division games remaining, all on the road. They were 2-1 in the division home games. To make up that loss to the Redskins earlier this season, they have to win one or two divisional road games. The Eagles' season could be determined in the next two weeks. They face the Cowboys Monday night and the Giants the following Sunday. If they lose both games, the season is pretty much over. They're already in last place, and they would lose their chance to catch up to the other winning teams in the division. They are already 0-2 in the NFC East and will start losing the tiebreakers if they can't make up ground over the next two weeks. The Giants have a great chance to win the division or get a wild-card berth. They get the benefit of playing the Chiefs at home in December, but their other three December games are all on the road, and that could be tricky. All the teams in this division will have a tough time getting to 11 or 12 wins because they have to play too many good teams. Each team could end up playing a dozen games this year against teams with records of 8-8 or better. Plus, they will be beating up each other so much, the losses from those games will affect their seedings. Prediction: Redskins win division, Giants grab wild card.

I tend to completely agree. I like Mort and I think he's honest. When Parcells was working as an analyst and the news was breaking about him going to coach the Cowboys, Mort was a little obnoxious, but other than that, I have no gripes with him. As for John Clayton--I like the guy--he loves the game and like you say, he's always, or almost always, providing fair commentary. His First and 10 column is (or was?) almost always a good read.

Peregrine Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Yeah if you look at it, Skins had the toughest schedule in the NFC east through the first half of the season, so sitting at 5-3 is good. The second half they get the easiest of the NFC east(still not easy), and as earlier pointed out, the tough games, oakland, sd, giants, and dallas are all at home. If we take 3 out of those 4 games, we go 10-6 to 11-5. The key is to win at home. As for the rams... they will not make the playoffs, not a chance. The wild card teams are looking to be one NFC east team and atlanta and another NFC east team battling for it. No NFC north team is gonna finish above 8-8, and the rams arent either, so that leaves only Atlanta, TB, and the NFC east(TB is going downhill fast).

TODD Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Why is the Cowboys/Rams game in Dallas tough for the Cowboys but the Skins/Rams at St. Louis not mentioned when talking about our schedule? Seems like he was trying to spin it a little too hard. I like his thinking, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ofDaFatBoys Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 I think we'll pull it out. Gnats game is a lock, and as long as we can pull out Cowgirls or Philly, we can win the East. 4-2.I think we'll sweep Dallas:). GREAT SIG :laugh: I Love IT!!!! I think that Giants are not as good as advertised. The emotion is getting out of them and we will see a decline in their performance the next couple of weeks. My Prediction is the Skins take the division. The Cowgirls could very well take it, but their too busy losing games they have already won. (eg. skins game, up 13-0 with 5 mins left. how the hell do u lose that, unless, err uhh :dallasuck us suck?!!!!!) I hope we win the division because ive said this and i will continue to say this. THIS IS THE YEAR, I CAN FEEL IT!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig19406 Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 I pulled this excerpt from John Clayton's article on ESPN. Check out his prediction for the NFC East. It's so easy for the media to turn. At the start of the season, did you ever think they would predict the Redskins to win? They switch their predictions so easily and make their switch sound so "matter of factly".

Titaw Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Just thought I would pass the link on so everyone could enjoy. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/story?columnist=clayton_john&id=2217806 Here's the portion on the NFC East: The NFC has improved at quarterback and has made great strides in catching up to the AFC in 2005 after going 20-44 against the AFC last year. The NFC East is the league's most improved division, with three winning teams whose successes are directly tied to quarterback improvements. Eli Manning is developing into a top quarterback with the Giants. Drew Bledsoe is putting up Pro Bowl numbers with Bill Parcells and the Cowboys. Mark Brunell, behind by a great offensive line and maximum protection, has brought the Redskins back into playoff contention.
