How Many Games Will The Skins Win This Year?

[Thoth]

Use your brain, not your heart, and try and include some reasoning, rather than wild guesses.

I have no idea, having looked at the schedule, so I thought I'd invite some commentary.

Thanks!

[SlinginSammy HOF '63]

ask me again in January ;)

[SlinginSammy HOF '63]

OK, after looking over the schedule the optimistic side of me says 9-7.

If we can take Minny in their dome and break that curse of losing in Giants stadium maye 11-5

But:
W 9/9 vs. Dolphins 1pm ET CBS
L 9/17 @ Eagles 8:30pm ET ESPN
W 9/23 vs. Giants 4:15pm ET FOX
W 10/7 vs. Lions 1pm ET FOX

If I use my brain, I'll know that a specific guess at a record is a waste of time. I think a more reasoned approach involves the use of a range. Using my brain, I think its fair to say that a range from 5-11 to 12-4 is possible.

For 12-4 to happen, we have to have no major injuries on either side of the line, a second WR to step up, a top 10 backfield and LB core, a solid, accurate decision maker in Campbell, and a monster year by Portis and the special teams.

For 5-11 to happen, we need, um, something like last year...

[SkinsFTW]

Merge with the 50 other threads asking the same question, lol.

[kevin11]

16-0!!! Im using my brain.

Seriously, I think 11-5 and thats what i tell everbody. Hell, we had at least 3 games last year that we could have won if Betts didnt fumble.

[wpenn1]

i say 10-6

[terpfan]

I'll go with 9-7 for now... but to be honest I still don't have much of a concrete idea of how we are going to play on offense or defense this year. Maybe I will have a better feel by week 1.

[mel25]

i don't care what the directions are, we will never lose another game again.... EVER.

[McD5]

Fantastic Thread!


I haven't seen one like this in at least an hour.

[BigDFan5]

6-10 / 7-9


Maybe 8-8 is Campbell does great

Cowboys will go 2-14.

4-12 if Romo repeats last year.

[Toast20622]

W Dolphins
W Eagles
W Giants
W Lions
L Packers too much going, lose
W Cardinals (pissed off from losing to Packers)
L Patriots (home field for Pats, not enough momentel "yet")
L Jets (close, but still "up north" )
W Eagles (it's butt kicking time)
W Cowboys (we embarass the crap out of them 45-10)
W Tampa (close game)
W Bills (12th team comes alive!!!!) Bills can't handle it!!)
W Bears (on a roll!!!)

W Vikings Cream them!! 35-0)
W Cowboys (already have NFC East Locked Up, Home field Adavntage...but we put it to it the cowgirls!!! bury them!!!! 45-17 ( but meet then in NFC Championship Playoff!!!)

[BigDFan5]

Cowboys will go 2-14.

4-12 if Romo repeats last year.


:laugh: wake up man cause you are dreamin

[Taylor 21]

I say 8-8, 7-9 at worst, and 10-6 at best.

[Jofizz]

9-7 is realistic.

[LoudMouth12thMan]

I just want a winning season so I guess that's 9-7, but I still think we'll end up at 10-6


HAIL!

[zskins]

Have we run out of orginal ideas for a thread. I am sick and tired of this questions already. :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh:


I really don't care how many games we win or loose. As long we get to the Superbowl!

[RedskinsFanInTX]

14-6 counting playoffs. As long we win the Superbowl!

You gotta love the Irony.

[RIDETHEWALRUS]

14-2, using my brain and predicting our win-losses results in a massive meltdown that leaves me at the unreasonable.

[SkinsFTW]

Fantastic Thread!


I haven't seen one like this in at least an hour.

At least 100 threads since March have asked the same exact question.

I think my standard answer is Who the **** knows?

"Who is going to be the next President?"

"When can I upgrade my computer to a 30Ghz processor?"

"Will Campbell be our next Rypien or our next Heath Shuler?"

"Who would win ST or Riggins?" LOL

All similar questions. :laugh: :laugh:

Really? You got any tangilble evidence to the contrary?

[mcarey032]

7 at a min. 11 at the most. I was hoping that the redskins would sneak up and make the playoffs, but they are going to have to play better than they did last weekend to make the playoffs. I know that it is a preseason game and only one at that, but the line did not look good at all and if you don't have a good offensive line we are going to be in trouble.

[argentina_redskins]

Anywhere from 7-9 to 10-6, most likely 9-7 which should get us in the playoffs at #6.

[Tyron Biggums]

Complete season with Healthy Core Players 10 -12 wins.

Repeat of last seasons injuries to Core Players 7 - 9 wins.

:dallasuck

[Chief skin]

8 wins 8 losses would be a good year, of course I hope they prove me wrong and kickass

[edgun88]

2-14 AT BEST















jk. 9-7 or 8-8

[Slacky McSlackAss]

using my brain i will tell you that we will have somewhere in between 0 and 16 wins.

Honestly I see 9-7 or 10-6, we have the potential to be a division contender, living up to that potential, well thats another story.

[Soup]

8-8 or 9-7

you think we will lose to the packers? lambeau doesnt hold the mystique that it used to.
loss to the vikings too? i honestly believe that by the end of the season jackson is going to be a bust at QB and peterson will be hurt.
jets and giants too. i just dont think we should lose to them.

i only singled you out since you broke it down. you have good stats though and i appreciate you putting it out there like that. and i can admit that i am being a little homerish too.:2cents:

[arkowi]

I think 10 or 11.

I also think we make the "paloffs".

[Wyvern]

Here's the predictions from Kool-Aid Korner:
:koolaid:

Win Sept. 9 Home -- Dolphins (We're ready, they're not)
Loss Sept. 17 Away -- Eagles (McNabb/Westbrook still healthy, Refs save Philly)
Win Sept. 23 Home -- Giants (Eli self-destructs, JC's ontrack)
Win Oct. 7 Home -- Lions (Lion's offense not balanced, and no D)
Win Oct. 14 Away -- Packers (A tight game, but a W)
Win Oct. 21 Home -- Cardinals (50/50 Skins D-line heroics be pivotal for our victory.)
Loss Oct. 28 Away -- Patriots (JC gets his first look at all Belichek's Defensive tricks)
Win Nov. 4 Away -- Jets (50/50 here. Depends on Pennington's health.)
Win Nov. 11 Home -- Eagles (Eagles are dinged up now, we get revenge!)
Win Nov. 18 Away -- Cowboys (50/50. Depends on Dallas O-line, Romo, and Refs.)
Win Nov. 25 Away -- Buccaneers (50/50 unless Garcia's hurting. Post-Dallas hangover?)
Win Dec. 2 Home -- Bills (They would have prefered to be at home in December.)
Win Dec. 6 Home -- Bears (Skins D get Grossman to turn it over, and over ..and over!)
Loss Dec. 16 Away -- Giants (Shouldn't lose, but ...dubious calls, & Springs hurting.)
Win Dec. 23 Away -- Vikings (The dome won't save them)
Win Dec. 30 Home -- Cowboys (50/50. Rivalry vs. Playoff concerns, resting players.)

Bottom Line: An optimistic prediction of 13-3 but this assumes we win all five of the "50/50"' I've identified. If we win at least three of those "50/50" then we'd have a respectable 11-5 and an NFC-East Title. I'd be very surprised if we lose all five, dip below 9-7 and miss the playoffs.
