Oh stop. Having a memorial or whatever at the stadium for him is a nice thing. 

When you do it literally every year it cheapens it

Urban is gone which is a major improvement for the Jags

 

True but the idiot who hired Urban is still there, running the show. No surprise btw that Snyder was also flirting with him. Luckily for us, Urban turned him down, most likely because he knew Haskins was a bust.

I still remember the rumors that after 2019 we were gonna have a major shake up with Alex Smith taking over as GM and Urban Meyer becoming the HC. How much of a disaster would that have been "lolol"

Some would say being “honored“ by Dan Snyder is more of an insult. How can you ‘change the culture’ anyway if you’re living in the past?

[clskinsfan]

You are never going to see an easier schedule in the NFL than the one we have. We should be expected to win 10 or 11 games with that schedule. And I dont remember the last time this team was ever expected to win that many games. 

[Redskins 2021]

We need 10 wins for this to be successful year. Nothing less.

9-8 would mean a winning season and could get you a playoff spot in the weak nfc.

At some point number of regular season wins has to be the standard. 9-8 is basically .500, even if you make the watered down playoffs. To me, you need 10 wins to be considered to have a "good" regular season.

 

That said, Vegas still has our over-under as 7.5, so I'm not sure where all the confidence is coming from. I know one of these seasons the team will greatly exceed expectations, but these past 30 years have really beaten me down.

[FootballZombie]

I've got us at 9 wins. Feels like a good spot. Take advantage of what almost has to be an easier schedule than the hardest roadmap in the NFL we took last year.

 

That makes us a fringe playoff team too. Depending on how the rest of the NFC performs, you can make it in w/ that record.

NFL.com aint much rosier.

 

Wins

7.8

Washington Commanders

 

• Win Total: over 7.5 (+105)
• Make Playoffs: +210
• Win Division: +500
• Win Conference: +3500
• Win Super Bowl: +7000

 

The Commanders enjoy one of the most favorable schedules by every metric. Their uncertainty lies in if/when Carson Wentz is able to execute at a level where their offense complements their defense. Washington and Minnesota square off in Week 9, in what could very well be a game with eventual playoff consequences.

[Est.1974]

Jax/Det is a sneaky pressured start. Nothing less than 2-0 is acceptable. None of this 1-1 is a wash type situation. Got to win both.

[goskins10]

The way too early prediction - I plan to come back to this jsut before the season - see if I still feel the same.

9 and 8 might get you in. 10 wins would be showing some real progress. Playoffs or not 10 wins is pretty good record in nfl.

@goskins10 what exactly is rogers getting revenge on against us…..? He beat us last season. How is that a “revenge” game?

We beat him pretty bad in that MNF game and the game after that. And we play them tough - They only scored 20 and 24 pts the last 2 seasons. Just having some fun with it. 

[Leonard Washington]

I see us starting slow and going 0-2 and getting more competitive towards the middle of season when opponents think we have given up. 6-11 is my prediction.  I think Wentz and the offense will be fine but the defense will be terrible. 

[BringMetheHeadofBruceAllen]

One thing I predict is that Rivera will have a short fuse this year when it comes to the QB. Remember, he's an old guy in his third year on the job and needs to make progress this year or he's gone...and may never get another head coaching job. No time to 'develop' young talent for the future. If Wentz struggles we will see a lot more of Heineke than we think.

 

Rivera may desperately start rotating QB s every week...or every series like the Colts did once when the owner called down to the sideline and told them to.

 

I also predict If the team struggles out of the gate again that he will get snippier with the press and will walk out of a few post game pressers.

Wentz is going to have mess up big time and early in order to get benched.  Heineke was already in the organization and could have been re-upped for pennies by NFL standards, yet they chose to go out and trade for a veteran QB, that right there is enough to show they don't want him starting games.  If Wentz washes out in DC, the next hope falls to Howell.

I have no problem celebrating one of my favorite Redskins every year. It's like when you lose a family member. The family doesn't just forget and move on.

Unless Wentz is hurt the McNugget man is not suiting up.

Are all the Thursday night games on Amazon Prime only?   or will they be on NFLN as well?

Only Amazon Prime I’m pretty sure 

[NewCliche21]

Just got back from vacation and am seeing the schedule.

We literally don't have two games on the road/at home in a row until Weeks 17 and 18?  And a super late bye?  Yeesh.

I think they are on some form of TV in the local markets.  

 

I could be wrong, but I think I read that somewhere.

We have to come up with a different nickname for him.  I used McNugget for McNabb.  It's taken. Like the retired numbers.

[SoCalSkins]

Has anyone gone to Dallas in recent years? Last time I went was the final year of Texas Stadium and we had a huge ES tailgate with Chief Z. 
 

I booked my flights and hotel for October but typically this is not the best time of year to buy game tickets as they tend to drop in August when more season ticket holders list. I was curious if anyone has sat in the lower level club seats behind the visiting bench and around how much they cost you. Right now the cheapest ones are $650 each with like a $175 dollar fee on top.  I am curious how much cheaper they might get.

I was there for the last game of the 2015 season, so not that recent.  Stayed at Fort Worth.  I did sit lower level near the bench.  I waited until near the date and ended getting them cheapish at the time because the Cowboys were out of contention by that point.  But that obviously won't work here.

 

The seats though were great.  Wide.   The road team (us) came out from there -- sort of from the middle section versus how it is at Fedex and many other stadiums where they come out from around the end zone.  Great food but expensive as heck.
