Momma There Goes That Man Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 9-7 probably best case scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I think the roughest part is there are 5 brutal weeks of travel schedule in there. Starting with the Vikings game we essentially criss cross the country in a short period of time. We go to Saints next, then have to travel all the way back to DC in 4 days, while the Giants will have been in the area for 2 weeks. Then we have to go all the way out to Dallas, then we have to go all the way out to California. I wont be surprised if we falter in that stage, when people are picking us to win games there.

readonly Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Wish folk would stop acting cowardly toward primetime games. The Redskins can never be great again without handling primetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilco_holland Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Yeah this is the worst schedule in years for us European fans. Monday night games and thursday night games are unwatchable when you have a job. This really sucks this year. Watching live football gives a different feeling then watching it back half a day or more later. ? For the curious people. Six hour time difference...so 1pm games are the best (they start 19.00 local time and finish around 22.00/22.30). 4:25pm games are okay but you wont feel amazing monday morning (22.25 until 01.30/02.00). 8:30pm games are hell. Most of the time you need to go to bed early. Sleep a couple of hours before the game and hope there is some time left after the game to sleep. (2:30 until 5:30/6:00).

beachboy757 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 For the early W/L schedule predictors just remember that last season it was mentioned over and over how we had one of the hardest schedules in the league and we were predicted to be 5-11 and 6-10 by many "analysts". The final results were an 8-7-1 season that many of us feel could have been 10-6 or better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregpeck99 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Think about how close Skins came to beating Bungles and Detroit. And these narrow losses cannot be fairly blamed on Kirk. Skins are a lot better than you think looking at last year's sorry result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hail2skins Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Eh, as Bill Parcells once said, "you are what your record says." People always say "we almost beat such and such" but the Skins also had tight wins on the road against the Giants, Eagles, and Ravens that could've easily gone the other way.......heck, the 11-point win over the friggin Browns was a lot closer than the final score indicates. I think Kirk is a top 10 QB and should be paid, but until this team as a whole proves itself more over a given stretch, tough to pick much better than 9-7 again.

50yrSKINSfan Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Hi all. What I don't understand is that the NFL channel stated the Giants have the 8th hardest schedule while we have the 7th hardest. Why is the Giant schedule easier than ours? I thought we all had a balanced schedule? Who gets a easier schedule, only the last place team in a division?

FrFan Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 This schedule is brutal, on the other hand playing the top teams is the best way to learn and improve. 14 minutes ago, 50yrSKINSfan said: Hi all.

PortisBetts Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 This schedule is BY FAR better than last season in terms of rest. Yeah, its a lot of time flying, but I would rather do that than have to continually play on quick turnarounds. I think lower rest time is more detrimental than flight time. Only the thanksgiving game is a 4 day turnaround. Last year, it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zazzaro703 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Other than the early bye week which I cannot stand when that happens to us, I like the schedule. Dallas and Minny last year had the back to back Thursday games coming off Thanksgiving so I don't really see that as a problem seeing how Dallas is doing the same thing. Going with 10-6 record.

Audible_Red40 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 16-0 best case scenario 0-16 worst case scenario If we win a couple games we'll probably go 2-14 But if we lose half of them 8-8 is probably our record There's my lame Pittman4two take on the schedule.

actorguy1 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Still 10-6 or bust! But, if the Redskins get in the playoffs at 9-7, there won't be a tear in my beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HouseBowlrz Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I still feel like we got the raw end of the scheduling deal ... Two holiday home games. I'm not sure how it is for other STHs but the passing of my mom's husband four-plus months ago means she is by herself in southern Virginia. And, because she won't drive distance, I will be damned if she is going to spend Thanksgiving and Christmas alone. Because we have an interconference opponent for Christmas Eve, the only way you might get your money back is selling to the opposing fan base. Placement of divisional games. We have both games with Philly before we face the remaining divisional foes and our second to last divisional game is with five weeks left in the season. At that point, the Giants have four remaining. Where's the balance? Division home-and-home. We finish all three divisional series on the road while the Giants get all theirs at home. Back to back Thursday games. We're on the road (at New Orleans) before Thanksgiving, then go back on the road afterward. Meanwhile, Dallas plays at home prior to its two Thursday games. I was expecting us to be at home the Sunday before Thanksgiving. Nothing that resembles a home stand. We got saddled with three straight on the road last year so you'd think we could get some relief in the form of a pair of two-game home stands. Nope. As it stands now, I will have to sell the two holiday games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He came down in 2009 for it, had a blast especially tailgating and said "let's do it again". (Not sure if he will want to do that with the scheduled date.) I will get back to you on that, though ... thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time hosting a Turkey Day game; we win this one. 6-5 w13: @Boys - Back to primetime losing. 6-6 w14: @Chargers - Win. 7-6 w15: Cards - Win - 8-6 w16: Broncos - Loss, think their defense, still good enough to shut us down. 8-7 w17: @ Giants- Loss. We don't have the hunger. 8-8. The schedule screams another mediocre season to me. I'll go with 8-8 and our third straight non-losing season. We could do a little worse and finish with 6 or 7 wins or maybe a little better with 9 or even 10 wins. I just have the feeling; this season will be unsatisfying.

TheGreatBuzz Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 All I asked for was for the NO game to be early in the year so I can go to a game before I deploy. And they couldn't even do that for me. Jerks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
