Im gonna say between 14 and 21. Thats being a little non homerish, but im tired of all the douches pointing out that im a homer, i get it, i like my team almost as much a God himself, let me be a homer. My homer prediction that our defense intercepts every pass that every other QB throws next year. :)

Yeah, I hate those homers! How dare they say the Redskins are halfway decent on their own message board! Sean Taylor positively sucks at safety and will be sentenced to three life terms anyway, so he's a non-factor. Owens will torch us even when we run a half dollar formation with every DB covering him, so we will lose to the Cowboys 74-0 each time. All those great plays made by Marcus Washington were actually made by LaVar wearing Marcus' uniform, so now that LaVar's gone, we're hopeless at LB, too. As for the DL, every time they got a sack, it was because the QB slipped in the mud. I've watched the games, don't argue with me. We actually went 0-16 last season. It's just that some idiot scrambled it up and put the "1" first to make it 10-6. We didn't actually go to the playoffs. The Tampa Bay and Seattle games were just pre-season games being played really early. Therefore, I predict the defense will give up 123 points per game.

j/k :silly:

I'm tired of all those douches too. HTTR! :helmet:

Just for the sake of reference, the lowest number of points/game ever allowed is 10.3, so it's pretty safe to say we won't be below that.

Additionally, only one team last year allowed less than 15 points/game (the Bears at 12.6, and they got to play GB twice, Minn twice, Detroit twice, us in the beginning of the season, etc.), so it doesn't seem to likely that we will be in that neighborhood either.

I'm thinking we are a top 5-10 defense, and, based on last season, that means somewhere between 16 and 18 points. If we can do that, we should be in great shape.

Well the best last year was Chicago @ 12.4 ppg and they had an easy schedule and an offense that just sucked up clock. 2nd place was Indy at 15.4 ppg. The best in 2004 was Pittsburgh at 15.7 ppg. The best in 2003 was New England @ 14.9. So I'm thinking this defense should be right around 15-16. Anyone predictiing something outside the 14-18 range isn't being very realistic.

well assuming our offence is as explosive as all the message board hype, then our time of possestion might go down due to scoring faster, leaving our defence on the field longer.

they might wear out a little and give up some 4th quarter points, but we will be sitting high on 50+ points by then :)

i say about 14-21 points per game. 2 turn overs per game.

16-20

If our offense really is as good as it could be and we run the score up on some teams we might give up closer to 20 a game. I still think we will primarily run and burn clock so I'd say that 16 per game is realistic.

Anybody claiming 10 is just nuts. They aren't the 85 Bears defense just yet and our division is the toughest in the league with some powerful offenses.

Lots of homerism in this thread...:laugh:

In 2004, the defense gave up 265 points. In 2005, in a much improved division and teams having a year to study Williams and our personnel, we gave up 293. Last year there were a lot of key injuries as well; Taylor, Griffin, Salave'a, Springs, Rogers, Clark and Arrington all missed games.

Third year in the system, I will say that if the injuries are kept to a minimum, the defense will allow 275 points all season, or about 17.2ppg. If we again are hit by the injury bug, I think a season similar to last year will be seen, around 300 points given up, or 18.75ppg.

**cue homerism**

However this is all a moot point, because I honestly believe our offense will score 400+ points, or 25+ a game. Its not all that homeristic, because we scored 359 last season with only two legitimate receiving threats. This year we've got 4-5 legitimate weapons for Brunell, Portis finally running Gibbs-style, Saunders calling the plays and most importantly, the swagger and momentum of a winning team. They know they can do it because they did it last year. I don't think the 500 point plateau is out of reach, but 450-470 is much more likely, or 28-30ppg.

Its going to be a FUN year!! :)

Yes this is right after the how many points our offense will score thread..

So how many points will our defense give up on average?

I'll say 15..

I think that's a fair number. Especially since we'll be facing some pretty good offenses this year.

My hopes is that with our recently aquired offensive players, we can win games on offense. It's absolutely crucial we do this in order to make a SB run with the tough schedule we have.

I know on paper that our schedule is a bit easier than last year. Still... we gotta get our offense to be more productive so that the defense doesn't have to carry the game so much.
