MattFancy Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 So Mike and Mike do their 2-a-days where they cover 2 teams a day and predict their record for the season. They both picked the Redskins to go 10-6! I believe they did the Eagles last week and said they would go 8-8 and 7-9. So looks like they are going against the grain of the media and saying we will be greatly improved and be a playoff team! Also, if you missed it the first time around, it should be on again later in the show towards the end I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What else did they say besides predicting the record? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattFancy Posted August 9, 2010 Author Share Posted August 9, 2010 Awesome! I wanted to hear it, but they didn't discuss it in my drive to work. What else did they say besides predicting the record? I caught the tail end of it and only heard them predict the record. Chances are they mentioned something about McNabb, Haynesworth, the RBs, and probably Shanahan. But I'm sure they'll play it again towards the end of the show. They usually do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pennyizer Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 They basically loved all the moves the Skins made in the off season. Loved the attitude that Shanny has brought to the skins. They are putting a lot of faith into McNabb remaining healthy, and Shanny bringing his running game from Denver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman21ST Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Next question: Is 10-6 good enough for a wild card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnLockesGhost Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 10-6 is a bit optimistic for me. I've been optimistic too often with this team. I'll predict 8-8 and hope for better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattFancy Posted August 9, 2010 Author Share Posted August 9, 2010 Next question: Is 10-6 good enough for a wild card? I think it could be. I feel like the teams battling for a wild card spot will be Skins, Eagles, Giants, Falcons, Packers/Vikings. So if we go 10-6, that most likely will be better than the Eagles and Giants. So it comes down to the Falcons and Packers/Vikings. Seeing as we play the Packers and Vikings, wins against them will be nice to have for tie breaker purposes.

Dead Money Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Yeah yeah yeah. Proof is in the puddin. Predictions predicitions, predictions, yall get too hung up on what everyone else thinks. What do you think? I think we'll be a more disciplined team that will need to grow into both its new schemes on offense and defense this year. 10-6? Not without a lot of luck. Instant gratification is not a term to be used in the NFL with as many variables as there are especially with all the change as of late.... haven't any of you learned this yet? I predict the recent changes being simple steps in the right direction for long term change in how the organization is run. That's about as far as I'll stick my neck out for this team....

TD_washingtonredskins Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I'm surprised...they kept commenting on how much of a "disaster" the Haynesworth situation was. Oh well, though I don't mind their show one bit, I don't put much stock in their analysis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Ten and six could encompass winning the division, no need for a wild card. I believe thatwe will sweep Philly and split with Dallas and NY. I think we can win our division, and thats all thatreally matters. 6 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBass1724 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 It's nice to hear optimism about the Redskins from people other than us fans. I mean it doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things, but it's just a pleasure to hear since it doesn't happen often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we can win our division, and thats all thatreally matters. 6 games. i agree sweeping philly would be very pivotal to getting intot he palyoffs and i would love to see the skins swep the gmen as well just cause they have owned the skins for to damn long i still get pissed at that monday night game from last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bliz Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I was certainly surprised, but let's get real for a second. This is a time-filler. They know a medium amount about a lot of teams. I'm sure they know more about the Bills, for example, than most people on this board. But master of none (except the Jets). I would venture to say 95% of the regular visitors here know a lot more about the Redskins than M&M do. All this talk about "Mike Shanahan's offense" and they didn't even bother to mention Kyle Shanahan, who a lot of knowledgeable football folk think was the best move we made all offseason...

MattFancy Posted August 9, 2010 Author Share Posted August 9, 2010 I was certainly surprised, but let's get real for a second.This is a time-filler. They aren't all that knowledgeable about our team (though they did talk about Torain in the post-2 a day discussion). All this talk about "Mike Shanahan's offense" and they didn't even bother to mention Kyle Shanahan, who a lot of knowledgeable football folk think was the best move we made all offseason. Yeah it doesn't mean much, but it is nice to hear someone in the media and on ESPN talking good about the Skins. Will we be 10-6? I have no idea and I don't think anyone knows right now. But I do believe we'll be improved and wouldn't be shocked to see us battling for a wild card spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsCrushCowboys Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Love the optimism and 10-6 would be HUGE...with a tough schedule that would be quite an accomplishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus71 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 9-7 is more realistic at this point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty#30 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 you guys rock. Here I am looking for the podcast, cause I just missed their prediction and you guys are all over it! 10-6 or 11-5 is what I would guess but I'm a homer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEREALTOR1 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Love the optimism and 10-6 would be HUGE...with a tough schedule that would be quite an accomplishment. That would make for a good year.

SkinSabbath Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Chances are they mentioned something about McNabb, Haynesworth, the RBs, and probably Shanahan. Yes, Yes, and Yes. They also talked about Orakpo having a huge season this year and making a lot of waves. Later, they had Stink Schlereth on and he said he thinks Torrain or another runningback (besides the trio of Portis, Johnson, and Parker) will emerge as the biggest threat. Herm Edwards also likes the skins, talked about McNabb finally having a run game and finally throwing from a variety of dirrefent drops and rolls. After Golic said "I have them with a huge turn around at 10-6" then Greeney said "I can't believe we have the same pick again" I preactically yelled and pumped my fist in the middle of traffic. It was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinsNation Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 It was nice to hear....those 2 have been Skins bashers over the years, so to be honest I was shocked. They raved about Shanahan and how he will help out McNabb. They seemed to like what we have done since last season. They were VERY complementative of our Skins. One of their quotes was "Portis will have a huge year"....I havent heard that in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Probos Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Wow, that's surprising. I don't necessarily disagree with them -- I think the team will be capable of 10-6, but things would have to go very well on all fronts, little to no injuries, great offensive line play, great team defense, guys stepping up at key positions and having big years, etc. I still think it's gonna be a 8-8'ish record,....plus or minus 1 win.

Chachie Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 10-6 is a bit optimistic for me. I've been optimistic too often with this team. I'll predict 8-8 and hope for better. I'm with you. I just think it's an awful lot to expect a team with so many changes to establish continuity right away. I think we'll stumble out of the gate, have really good mid-season success and then fizzle out late due to our lack of youth at RB/d-line, not to mention our lack of depth overall. I'm looking at 7-9 to 9-7 which will be a marked improvement over last season and will at least serve notice that we are on the right track.

MustangSteve Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 If everything falls into place, this team can hit 10-6 or 11-5. Many are wondering if we can get a wild card, I must be a homer because I think we will be fighting for the NFC East Title. I feel this is going to be a very good and professional team with our new coaches, and a very dangerous team with the new leaders and competition on the field. Anything under 10-6 will be a disappointment for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue collar Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 You guys still care what these guys think? I don't. Like someone mentioned, they didn't bring up Kyle Shanahan once. Stink said we'd be 8-8. So who's right? No one knows. Maybe they're both wrong and we go 11-5, 9-7 or 7-9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
