No way the skins or anybody in the NFC East is going 1-15 in 2005. Worst NFC East record in 2005: 6-10 or 7-9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Joe Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 I say 4-12. You really can't anticipate the defense to return at half the level they played at last year. We have no quarterback, we have no receivers, and we have no person intelligent enough to run an offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeSkin Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Funny thing is, this thread could be from any of the past five years. 10-6 has been the prevailing prediction for as long as I've been a member here. But whatever, I think we'll pull it off this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Joe Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Actually, I think picking the Redskins to go 10-6 year after year when they finish 5-11 year after year would qualify as idioticy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsChick36 Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Not real sure what are record will be i'm hoping for a 10-6 but if there is another freakish NFC season where a 6-10 team nearly makes the playoffs...i think we will deffinately make it into the playoffs...especially since the offense is going to get better!!!

illone Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 prediction threads are always fun because you get to bump them halfway through the year and laugh at how things change. Everyone predicted SD to be 4-12 last season, and look where they ended up. While some may think we have gotten "worse" on paper, I will disagree and here is why: Ramsey is the starter. I am sure there will be competition at TC but it's his job to lose. Right now I think his confidence is improved and he'll keep the job. This is actually a big deal because rather than start a QB who hasn't had reps with the rest of the offense, we've got continuity there. A huge plus. The line is improved. Yes, Rabach is new and we don't know what to expect of him. However, he can't be any worse than Corey and we have Jansen back. In case you didn't notice, the line DID improve as the year progressed. Anyways, just having Jansen back is an automatic improvment over last season. Another huge plus. Greg Williams. Yes, we lost Smoot and Pierce, arguably two of our best defenders from last season. However, Greg Williams system is proven to work. Lavar will be back and Taylor will be better than he already is(scary, I know) Judging by the Minny game we won't miss Smoot by week 5, just the same way we forgot about Champ early in the year last year. Our defense will remain focused and teams are already scared of us. Once again, a huge plus going into next season. Joe Gibbs. I shouldn't have to bring his name up because I know some posters here still have respect for him as the legend he is and will always cherish the winning seasons he brought us, but I've noticed more dissention in the ranks as of late. You guys need to remember what happened to this team in 2003. EVERYONE QUIT ON SPURRIER!!!! Did that happen with Gibbs? Well? Did we not play our GUTS out against a playoff bound team and completely drum them in week 17? Didn't we? After having known that the only thing we were playing for was dignity and self respect, not the playoffs or prime time or anything. Just football. I am not trying to make you a believer in Gibbs because it's plainly obvious to anyone who pays attention to what is going on here that he has a plan bigger than what you or I may care to comprehend. It's there. Certainly not evident if you go to NFL.com and look at the record, but if you read between the lines and take a look at history then you will see that the Skins are in for better days.

The Sisko Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 It's too early for me to make a concrete prediction yet but at the moment I'd have to say 9-7. Last season's loss to the Browns was a real eye opener. After that I came to the realization that Gibbs 2.0 is going to be a bit more of a challenge than I expected. Therefore I vowed then and there to let go of the expectations. Therefore no matter what happens next season I'll be cool with the process we're going through (hopefully) to get better down the road.

skinsfan12 Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 7-9 worst case 10-6 best case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W. Unseld Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Originally posted by skinsfan12 7-9 worst case 10-6 best case I'm thinking somewhere along these lines as well. I count 5 losses in our own freakin' division every year. We split with the Giants, we lose twice to Dallas (God that pains me but they have had our number for a while and I think they will be much improved on defense) and we probably lose twice to Philly, the class of the division (God, using "class" and "Philly" in the same sentence hurt almost as much as the Dallas sentence). Everyone expects that players will improve and that everyone will improve given more time in the system but it just doesn't always work out that way and while we are improving, other teams are as well. Pro's: -Put me in the exteme minority who thinks are reciever corps will either be about the same as last year or improved. -The O-line will be better which should help the passing game, but I'm not convinced it will help the running game as much as it should b/c of Portis' style which usually has him not running in between the tackles. I thought a much less athletic Betts did a better job of following his blockers. -Coaching. I can't wait for the media to eat crow on this one. I'm amazed how quickly they forget his pass successes or how easily they are willing to dismiss them. Cons: -I thought Smoot had a very good season last year and w/our front four not getting much of a push cb coverage becomes that much more important. -Losing Pierce hurts not b/c of his athletecism, but b/c unlike Arrington, he knows where everyone on the defense is supposed to be. -I'm wondering how much of the play book was actually used last year and how much it will change this year. If we are screen pass happy and uber-conservative again this year, I don't see the offense improving. On the other hand, if the playbook gets really opened up than it will basically be new to our guys ie not much benefit from a year in the system.

Hooper Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 8-8. We could do a lot better this year and still not make it to 500. The Giants and especially the Cowboys have improved greatly in the offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagles_Legendz Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 I'd say 7-9 or 8-8 right now. Still a lot to happen before the season starts though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mania Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 I don't feel we've done as bad as many people feel. I feel both are starting receivers will do a better job, not necessarily because they are better, but they will both have their hearts in the game.
