I'm going with 9-7, but will expect 6-10. Anything below that, and there'd better be some good individual performances to counter it. I think it would also indicate problems in the coordinators positions.
5-11. But, I think we will be encouraged by the end of the year, as the youth movement starts to take shape.
Actually, I'm going to change my prediction to 4-12.
I see us beating Arizona, splitting with Dallas, and beating the 49ers. However, they could easily take Carolina, Buffalo or Seattle, so I think they'll win at least one of those games.
After sitting through those years with Jason Campbell where the offense averaged fewer than 20 points per game, I'm going to say this offense will score. Well, at least more on average than those teams did.
Last year with Rex at the helm the Redskins scored 30, 20 and 17, not that great, but an average of 22 ppg (better than the Jason Campbell era). If they improve even marginally, the extra points should help to win games if the defense improves as well (and really, how can the defense get worse?).
based on what I have seen so far (both us and the opposition) I'm bumping up to 10-6! we have the talent to compete in just about every game.
Oh. My. God.
I'm going to lie down for a little while-I feel dizzy all of a sudden.
Fansince, don't do this kind of thing to me, man, my constitution isn't up to it.
expectations brotha Serv...expectations. when I was leading large roups of young sailors in the Navy...the mindset was to set the bar high...organize and maximize for success....not look for rationalizations why the unit will be better in a year or two. this team has the raw material to compete. a combination of teamwork, crafty coaching, espirit de corps, talent, scheme, youth is on hand. I see no reason why this team can't exceed expectations.
Noted for future reference.expectations brotha Serv...expectations. when I was leading large roups of young sailors in the Navy...the mindset was to set the bar high...organize and maximize for success....not look for rationalizations why the unit will be better in a year or two. this team has the raw material to compete. a combination of teamwork, crafty coaching, espirit de corps, talent, scheme, youth is on hand.

notice I didn't mention QB play!!!!
but..yea....to me it looks like there are no real dominant teams so far..except for..perhaps...the Peckers. from that perspective....anyone can compete except for the terminally bad.....and we don't fit that descriptor! folks are not paying attention to what I have been arguiing. I haven't been in the "we got lucky" crowd. my wank has been that we haven't used the talent on hand to take advantage of the giftwrapped mistakes other teams are making. I have two perspectives on this:
- I believe we have the talent to take advantage of these mistakes
- if we don't...sooner or later it'll catch up to us

Sure did, you can see my original post here: http://gamebattles.majorleaguegaming.com/forums/showpost.php?p=37773555&postcount=89
I'm starting to look like a genius. One of the only people here that didn't buy the hype and change my prediction.5-11
Absolute best case scenario, we might go 6-10. I'm not optimistic, I'm a realist
we will probably end up somewhere around 6-11. I hope I am wrong.
5-11. But it will be a "good" 5-11. The foundation is being laid and it will be a builder's masterpiece in the years to come.
