[[ghost]] Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Assuming we're injury free, we should finish NO less than 9-7, no better than 21-4 IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mass_SkinsFan Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 I'm going with 6-10. I think we're going to be in a lot of games and they'll be close at the end thanks to our defense, but I just don't have a whole lot of faith in our offense to put the necessary points on the board to be more optimistic than six wins.

Santana_89 Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 My gut says 9-7 (11-6 barring any serious injury)and we're the divisionchamps and we get to the NFC championship game at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand your worries but why can't the skins be like the Ravens or the Bears, both similar in defense and offensive presumptions. I think the skins will make 10-14 points a game and have the defense do the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4skins23 Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 I'm torn between 10-6 and 11-5. I do think we can do the 11-5 but 10-6 sounds more safe. We may let a couple games slip away. so 10-6 sounds about right. Pretty much I see the only losses with the Pats,Bears and maybe 1 with the Eagles,otherwise I think we CAN win the rest... but will we? :point2sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the skins will make 10-14 points a game and have the defense do the rest.[/quote']The problem is that even with the exceptional defense that we have the potential for, keeping the opponent under 14 points every week is just not a realistic scenario. In the last five years, the #1 defense in points per game allowed has been under 14 ppg three times, and in none of those seasons has even a second team been below 14.0 ppg. Hell, in 2003 & 2004 the #1 team wasn't even below 14.0 ppg. The offense needs to be scoring a minimum of 17-21 points per game to give that defense a realistic shot at winning games for us, and I just don't see them being able to do that on a regular basis. Especially since we play the AFC East this year in addition to our own NFC East. There are not a lot of EASY games on this schedule so far as I'm concerned.

Wyvern Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 After the fact that the Redskins' FO wouldn't take steps to beef up our pass-rush -- I have to lower my expectation to a still-optimistic 10-6 season. If that's not good enough to make the playoffs -- then I predicat the failure to do so, will be capped by the post-season retirement of Greg Blache. Heck, we might get lucky and snag a 11-5 or 12-4, but that means Blache lingers on for another year. Sorry to carp about this about Blache. However, in my opinion Blache is in denial that his old Bears' Daniels can't mount a pass rush anymore. Since Blache didn't do enough to fix his anemic 2006 pass-rush in 2007 there could be a lot of sentiment for his removal. Okay, it's early, but I think that the regular season will show that Daniels, Evans and Wilson are not the answer in 2007. We needed a pass-rusher -- not a linebacker assigned to do spot duty. We signed a gimpy 5-11, 186 WR/ST who is immediately going on IR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loxley Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 I say 10-6 with the current D performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ERIC THE REDskinsfan Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 I'll go with a safe 10-6. I agree. I see it no worse than 8-8, but a ceiling of 11-5. I think 10-6 is a great mark for JC's first year at the helm. And by the time the playoffs roll 'round no one will want to play against our defense. :hail: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onnie007 Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 We are going to be a great team this year and I think the team will get better and better each week especially on the defensive side of the ball. I am predicting 1-2 shutouts this year by the defense. I voted 10-6 but I am predicting 11-5!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went 7-9, but the total opposite as you, I think our offense will suprise some people and rank in the top 15, our defense will struggle again against the run at times and rushing the passer was not addressed during the offseason.
