SweetAlfred Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 After this win, I guess Ryan Clark's prediction of 16-0 might finally be coming true!! So Kkhappy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogofWar1 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Looking at it; at Vikings, vs. Buccaneers, at Niners, at Colts, vs. Rams, at Giants, vs. Eagles, vs. Cowboys; I see sort of three groups of games. Group 1: @Vikings, Bucs, and Rams. They are struggling like us (maybe a little more, depending on how you look at it). These are very winnable, but we cannot underestimate these teams. If we're shooting for 8-8 or better, we need at least 2 of these, and ideally all 3. Group 2: @49ers, @Colts Two tough away games against good teams. These definitely present an uphill battle, and if we went 1-1 here I'd be pretty happy. 2 weeks ago, no way I'd have expected anything other than 0-2, but now, we might sneak a win against one (or both, however unlikely) if Griffin is playing well and the team plays with heart. Group 3: @Giants, Eagles, Cowboys The division games. Three straight to close the year. Anything could happen. I'd like to think we'll go 3-0, but we're similarly likely to go 0-3. If we're striving for anything better than 6-10, we really ought to go 2-0 over the next two games. Even with a 4 game winning streak going into SF, it's entirely possible and maybe probable we leave Indy 5-7. We need the next two or else that could easily become 4-8... Similarly, we need the Rams. If we come into that game 5-7, we're in a decent position for 7-9 if we win, but if we lose, again, uphill battle. If we go into the last 3 division games 6-7, then I'd say we're in striking distance of 8-8, but any worse, and we've got a real tough road to hoe. If we somehow win 4 of the next 5 though, and are 7-6 going into the stretch, we need to smell blood in the water and go for it. 9-7 probably won't make the playoffs, but if probably won't be the NFC East basement either, and as an opening to Gruden's HC career, when he started 1-5? Not bad at all. But a TON hinges upon the next two games. We lose even one of those two, and suddenly we're 3-6 (4-6), with only one game against non-division opponents with losing records left (barring SF or Indy's positive W-L changing in the meantime), and that is not a good position to be in if we're shooting for .500 or better.

Gizmo 3squire Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I have faith in my team. Yes I'm cautiously optimistic, but this is when we're the most dangerous, especially with a returning HEALTHY (hopefully braceless) RG3 with wait for it....offensive weapons, a defense that's finally stepping up to the plate, and everyone getting healthy at the right time in the season. I can realistically say we can win out if RG3 plays well. 11-5. Shooting for the stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacoah Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I'd say 8-8 is a reasonable assumption. I don't see us at 9-7 or higher. But .500 would be tremendous after the awful start to the season. My sights are on next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rskins06 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 a 7-3 finish gets us to 8-8? when we are already 3-5? you sure about that? He was taking into consideration the 2 games already won. Going 7-3 after 1-5 would put us at 8-8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewCliche21 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Wouldn't that be a 13-game or 14-game run? From 1-5 to 11-5 (10 in a row), then either 3 or 4 wins to the Lombardi, depending on if we were to get a #1 or #2 seed with an 11-5 record (who knows this year!). Unless you think the Skins will be seen as so awesome by then that they'll just let our team represent one side in the Pro Bowl against a group of all-stars picked by Deion and Jerry Rice (or whoever is doing that nonsense this season). Only way the Skins would lose that game is if they had to play Ditka! Yeah that's pretty much what I was thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonez3 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Yea- a realistic shot at being 5-5 after next 2 games. I mean, if 5-5 than you're in the hunt, period. Lets see how RG3 looks. I'm excited, I think I've seen some open receivers running around last few weeks . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinfan2k Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Aaawwwweeee. How cute. A skins fan blinded by his love for rg3. umm not really. You gotta be a fool if you think Cousins and or Colt has a chance to be the franchise Qb. You guys really don't remember 2012 do you? RG3 was a top 5 nfl player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooleyfan1993 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 6-10 I think we don't win another division game Just enough to ruin our draft position and 3 wins already hasnt ruined our draft position? right now we're probably 6th in the draft order.

You guys really don't remember 2012 do you? RG3 was a top 5 nfl playerRg was great that year. What made him so great was he was a threat to run. Now, not so much. This coaching staff is trying to make him a pocket passer. He is not. The back up qb's are, but not quite as athletic as rg. That's my opinion anyways.

You are kidding yourself if they are making him a pocket passer. That would be idiotic. We didn't draft him to be just a pocket passer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishop Hammer Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Someone has to say it. 11-5. There. It has been said. Shoot for the moon. HTTR. Don't think that going to happen but I agree with the sentiment. Its better to shoot for the moon and miss than aim for the gutter and succeed.

GOGOheadray Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 First we aren't going to the playoffs; best case scernio is we go 8-8 which won't cut it. We should beat the Vikings and bucs as we are the better team. I honestly think people are underestimating the rams who imo can beat us even with the injuries. I'm hoping for the best but expext the worst; 2 more wins this season. Draft position is so overrated in the NFL. the best team find gems anywhere in the draft. Losing does nothing in the NFL to help your franchise. Tell that to the Colts..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradboyd80 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 What made him so great was he was a threat to run. Now, not so much. This coaching staff is trying to make him a pocket passer. Not sure I agree. Did you not watch the Jax game before he got hurt? It sure looked like he was still a threat, and his speed was back. It's obvious that the read option is still in the playbook. And it looked like it was going to be a big part of the Jax game considering he had two carries for 22 yards in the limited time he was in. I'm sure they absolutely want to improve his pocket presence and ability to read the defense; but I would bet money they also want him to be able to run. I'd lose faith in the staff if they didn't. He's too gifted to not use his running ability to our advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s0crates Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 a 7-3 finish gets us to 8-8? when we are already 3-5? you sure about that? If we finish 8-8, then we will be 7-3 in our last ten games, since we started 1-5. 6-10 I think we don't win another division game Just enough to ruin our draft position I have a theory you are saying things like this for the same reason I'm picking against the 'skins in my football pool for the third straight week . . .

Cooleyfan1993 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 If we finish 8-8, then we will be 7-3 in our last ten games, since we started 1-5. ok, but Hail2Skins said "a 5-3 finish in the second half", meaning the final 8 games of the season, and we were 3-5 in the first half of the season. so from 3-5 to 8-8 would be a 5-3 record. if he said at the time that we were 1-5 that we would get to 8-8 to finish the season then that would mean going 7-3. but either one would still get us to 8-8 so yeah i guess its the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
