cakmoney61 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 The thing is that now other teams are looking at their schedules and saying..... "Damn we have to play Washington on the road?" "That's rough" We are becoming one of those teams now. Feels so good. It's very probable that no team will be quickly checking off the Redskins as a sure-fire win for at least the next decade whether the game is at home or on the road. This year's team has barely scratched the surface on how good it can/will be! It will take some luck with injuries, continued success in free agency and the draft, and the continued growth and development of its young stars. The Redskins have a chance to be one of the teams of the decade if not "the" team of the decade. Honestly, as of today, the sky is the limit.

Koolblue13 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 This is a good thing. We will win our division hands down, we know that and then we won't have any difference in level of competition when we start the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticVillain Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 AFC West will be 3-1 for us. Not so fast. The Chargers and Cheifs have talent on their teams. If they find the right coach, they will be instant contenders to the Broncos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BnG4ever326 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Considering that we're going to add more talent defensively (i.e. Merriweather and Jackson returning and more draft picks) and offensively, I say BRING "EM ON!!! I'm going into my golf season in a couple of months with a BIG smile on my face waiting for training camp, pre-season and regular season. HTTR!!

A pass rush makes ANY secondary look good.... Unless I missed some news about Orakpo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTskins Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Out of 5 non-division away games, 3 of them are division champs: Green Bay, Denver, and Atlanta, while a fourth is against another playoff team in Minnesota. The fifth remaining game is a west coast game at Oakland.Ouch Price paid for winning the division. With another draft we should be okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Everyone thought opening at New Orleans would be brutal and we'd win easily against Carolina at home too. It's extremely silly to look at the schedule this much in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clskinsfan Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 It's a hard schedule. But we are not the same Redskins. We are no longer the team that the opponent says "OK thats a win". No one is looking forward to playing our offense for the next decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Kev Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 If our IR players can get healthy, especially the DBs, then we will be a lot stronger next year. Other teams should be worried about playing us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogofWar1 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Our schedule is rough, but I think we're going to develop into one of those teams that other teams fear, as much as we now fear teams like Green Bay. Hopefully we can wreck our division next year like we did this year. If we can go 4-2, 5-1 or maybe even 6-0, that'll go a long way in helping us to a winning season. The rest of our home games will be interesting. Bears, Lions, Chiefs, and Chargers are teams that have some talent and can be dangerous, but at the same time, there are weeks where they just don't show up. Having them at home though should help. Green Bay, Minnesota, Atlanta, and Denver away is brutal. We certainly *can* win those games, especially Minn, Ponder has been good but not great, he's been leaning on Peterson a lot, but all four of those are very rough games. Oakland meanwhile, if they're like this year, should be a win, though of course we can never sleep on anyone. I think we can keep pace with these teams, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a split of non-division games, so if we can do well in the division, we have a good chance of another 10 win season. We'll have to see, though if is greatly to our benefit that the Eagles are in full rebuilding mode, the Cowboys are seemingly on the decline, and the Giants are their standard confusing selves.

AzSkinsFan63 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 And the whole NFC east is saying 2 game against RGIII and the Redskins..Come on man! lets see.... 3 -3 in the division minimum, we went 5-1 this season Wins against Raiders, Chiefs, Vikings, Bears, Lions and Chargers... That's 9 wins...with 4 tough games to get to 10...I say Atlanta or 49ers... Whala....10-6 next year..Ha.Ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fifth remaining game is a west coast game at Oakland.Ouch Well, that's what happens when you win your division. You paly all 4 teams from one division in your conference (NFC North), and all 4 teams from one division not in your conference AFC West), so you will always play 2 division champs from last year. You play 6 games vs teams in your own division, and 2 teams that ranked in the same spot you where from the two remaining divisions in your conference (NFC South & NFC West). I can see the skins not being able to match the 10-6 season they had this year, and with this schedule I don't think anyone would complain much if the team drops to 9-7 next year.

Mr. Sinister Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I think people have underestimated the impact that Roy Helu can bring to this offense (if he stays healthy). He will even further electrify this running game with Griff and Morris with his speed and receiving ability. If he can stay on the field, and we can improve the o-line, and fix the defense to where it is at least middle of the pack, this will be a very dangerous team, especially once the cap sanctions are over and we can go after guys in free agency in 2014.

Farbod21 Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 I wasnt pointing out our opponents as much as I was pointing out that we play 3 champs on the road and 1 at home. I was pointing out the discrepancy between our road and home schedule. Not who we play. I know finishing first we will be playing 4 division champs. Thats just the way it works.
