We haven't played well the last 2 weeks but we are still 5-2. A very unfamiliar position for the Redskins. We are getting to the point where we will be watching what other teams do also. I'm sure the coaches and players will realize what at's stake now. We are in good position to make run for the playoffs but our weaknesses need improve or else we could have a letdown. The NFC is very competive this year. I expect the wild card teams will be one from the NFC EAST and one from the NFC SOUTH.

So how do see us finishing, after 7 weeks.

[Hitman#21]

i hope 12-4 ill take 11-5.

[NewCliche21]

Been a fan way too long to even predict that the league won't find a reason to overturn the win.

[skinfan2k]

6-2 after next week

8-4 after seattle

11-5 season ending

[c4man5282]

i hope 12-4 ill take 11-5.

I feel the same way.

[1972FAN]

Very feasible to end 11-5 and make the playoffs.

[WSHRedskins3ATLBraves3]

I'm taking it one game at a time. I don't want to look ahead.

I'm just concentrating on 6-2.

[skinsince72]

well, I know we won't be 4-12!

Being conservative, 10-6 is very feasible.

11-5 or better if the passing game gets on track.

[Rdskn4Lyf21]

12-4....I've been saying it for about 4 months and I'm sticking to it :D

[dcoles11]

the last time I looked ahead I thought we'd be 7-1 and we gave one away to the Rams.

I just want to be 6-2, the NFL is too crazy to predict, so i'm going to stay out of that business.

[Pskins]

11-5 is just about right. We play some nasty defenses later on!
11-5 will get us in the playoffs.

[HogNose]

I say
11-5

[Rdskns2000]

10/26 @ Lions 1:00 PM ET FOX- Given our offense last 2 weeks, this game scares me a little. Still, I think Clinton can have a big day and we win: 6-2.

11/3 Steelers 8:30 PM ET ESPN- This will be as ugly as today and I figure Steelers win: 6-3

11/9- BYE WEEK

11/16 Cowboys 8:15 PM ET NBC- Both teams will be coming off a bye. Boys will probably be desperate. If we fix our offense, I say we win. If not, the boys will win rematch. I'll think positive and say we sweep them: 7-3.

11/23 @ Seahawks 4:15 PM ET FOX- We finally beat them after 2 playoff losses: 8-3.

11/30 Giants 1:00 PM ET FOX- I think we eek a last minute field goal win: 9-3.

12/7 @ Ravens 1:00 PM ET FOX- Ravens win this one: 9-4

12/14 @ Bengals 1:00 PM ET FOX- We beat what still be the winless Bengals: 10-4

12/21 Eagles 1:00 PM ET FOX- They win the rematch: 10-5

12/28 @ 49ers 4:15 PM ET FOX- We win this game and make a return trip to playoffs: 11-5.


If our passing offense woes aren't corrected; then we lose one or two more games. I am still thinking positive and my gut tells me, we will face the Giants again in the playoffs.

[cubanl81]

Yeah lets focus on the Lions first. I'm not ready to proclaim anything yet. I know paloffs are in our future thats about it. But it would be sweet to have home field. We haven't had a home game in DC for a long time.

So 11-5.

Nahhhhh. We have a grudge to resolve at Seattle.. and they seriously suck. We also won't lose to the Cowboys or the Eagles.. we *may* come up short against the Giants.. but that game is going to mean sooooo much.

The most likely loss is against the Steelers.

[HailGreen28]

3 and 4. Honestly, I figured our D would've stayed pretty good, but our offense would've sputtered so badly, our D would consistently wear out in the 2nd half. That Zorn would've needed a season or two to get going.

5-2 is great! Hail!

edit: OK I fail at reading comprehension. From here on in, I'm thinking 11-5. Teams figure out Zorn's offense, but we get in the playoffs as a wildcard, and have a good shot at winning the first round, maybe go all the way.

[NoCalMike]

Well lets just keep this in mind, Under Joe Gibbs this team played it's best football in December. Twice, we had to run the table to make the playoffs and WE DID.

It would be hard to expect that kind of roll under Jim Zorn, but thankfully at 5-2, if we maintain this type of record, running the table won't be a necessity.

I am hoping for 11-5.

[skinsfan07]

12-4....I've been saying it for about 4 months and I'm sticking to it :D

agreed. Let's do it baby!

[armada58]

10-6.

This team is still growing. We're bound to have some pains along the way. BUT, I love what I see so far.

Think about that for a second............ We're 5-2 and we're STILL GROWING.

Go Skins

[Burgold]

The question is why the sudden drop in offensive production. Is it just normal growing pains or are D coordinators beginning to figure Zorn out a little bit. I won't make a prediction, but I want to see our O start clicking again. Zorn clearly decided that this game was going to be won on the ground and he was incredibly vanilla and predictable, but for two weeks we've been pretty offensively ineffectual. We need to reverse that.

[walker77]

If we play like we have the past 2 weeks I say 8-8 AT BEST!!!!

[Fan035]

I honestly don't know. Our defense is outstanding. The offense controls time of possession and makes more yards but doesn't always score - we shouldn't have lost last week and we were lucky to hold on today.

[Idaho fan]

11-5 on the optimistic side... No reason to think this team can not at least be a 10-6 team and earn a wild card spot.

I will also say that besides special teams it seems like our passing game is the only area that is lagging behind. Our running game is outstanding as is our Defense.

[Aluadan]

5-11 clearly. :silly:

[Soup]

This forum is looking like the way it was before the rams beat the redskins. I hope people have learned that ANY team can win and beat the skins. So lets take it one game at a time.

[GaryGreenMonk]

you all are way too afraid of the Steelers.

Their offensive line is hosed... we'll blitz them and sack the crap out of them.

Eagles healthy late scare me.... and the Giants game will be rough.

[Hitman#21]

Idk why but the seahwaks game scares me.

[SkipJackSkin]

I'll say 11-5 but hope for 12-4.

[MD.C RedskinsFan]

Is it too late for 19-0?

[Gymratfwp]

5-2 is all that matters. let's focus on detroit and that's it.

[BillyKilmer]

I know we will only be as good as our turnover ratio. We are not good enough to survive turning the ball over.

My preseason prediction was 7-9 to 9-7

I would hope we will make it to 11-5

[FedExFielder]

14-2........

You know what is really awful about this schedule? I don't think anyone has mentioned it...at least I haven't heard it....but, the last game is in San Francisco.

We will more than likely be a wildcard team (not to get ahead, but it would be the best bet right now), so the last week of the season we will travel to the west coast, fly home, and then have to travel to one of the division winners....not a gigantic deal...but, kinda sucks.

On a good note....if we: lose a game> win four in a row> lose game> win four in a row> lose game> win four in a row> lose game> win four in a row

....well if we do that, we would be 12-4. We would lose the last game of the season....but go on to win the NEXT four....:)

[[[ghost]]]

No reason why we should end up less than 11-5.

Better would be the difference between a team with a solid regular season heading into the playoffs, and a great team trying to go deep into the post season.

[RF4L]

12-4 w/ 1st round bye.:)

[NOVA2Tampa]

Right now, I'd have to go with 11-5.

[4thandGoal]

Without putting much thought into this at all, I think the skins have at least a 50/50 chance of winning every game left on their schedule. Knowing this team, its talents, its tendancies, I'd say they go 6-3 over the last 9 to finish at 11-5.

[ACW]

WORST CASE SCENARIO:
Win 1 of every 3, final record of 8-8 :cheers:

BEST CASE REALISTIC: Win 2 of every 3, end up 11-5 :party::jump:

REALISTIC: Win 2 of the next 3, win 3 (at worst) of the last 6, 10-6 (at worst) :cool:

I think 10-6 realistically, 8-8 AT WORST. Not bad. :)
We WILL need to cheer for Dallas vs. NY in 2 weeks though.

[red dot in a sea of blue]

I say worst we do is 11-5...

We are a good team that has the potential to be great... We can win them all, we could also lose half of them...

Too many people are scared of the steelers... we can win that game at home...

we can...

[SK1NS4L1FE]

Play hard. Run the ball and get the offense producing a bit more. I'm glad we pulled away with a W, but it was not pretty until the 4th quarter.

[ciresolstice]

They focus on the Lions next. that's it. I guess fans can speculate, but the players and coaches need be focused on the Lions only.

[southskinsfan]

11-5. Book it Dano

[Tacoma Redskin]

I suggest we stick to the one game at a time mantra.

I suggest the team and coaches stick to one game at a time. Fans on a message board can look ahead all we want without having any effect.

The NFC is very competive this year. I expect the wild card teams will be one from the NFC EAST and one from the NFC SOUTH.

So how do see us finishing, after 7 weeks.

10-6, We are capable of beating the Steelers, but we usually don't win the games we should. Even though we have the Giants at home, I just feel like it is 1986 again and they will be our nemesis. I feel like we will lose to the Ravens just because I think their D will be too much for us. The Eagles we will lose to because it is hard to beat a division rival twice in one season. But, we will beat the Cowgirls because they seem to be falling apart.

[NinjaGaiden]

I predict that we will be 12-4 ... if not ... 11-5

12-4....I've been saying it for about 4 months and I'm sticking to it :D


You're off by one number, we'll be 13-3 mark my words! We'll take Homefield advantage and bring respect and pride back to Washington after 16 years of dismal rejections! This is the year of "Me so Horny for Zorny!!!!!!!!!!!!"

HTTMFR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ned Flanders]

13-3, I KNOW WE ARE capable of beating the Steelers, but we usually don't win the games we should. Even though we have the Giants at home, I just feel like it is 1986 again and they will be our nemesis but we will prevail. I feel like we will WIN against the Ravens just because I think their D will be too pussyish for us. The Eagles we will EFF UP also because WE ARE THE TEAM to beat a division rival twice in one season.


I fixed a few grammatical errors on your behalf, please adhere to my corrections!

[Tacoma Redskin]

I'm thinking 12-4 or 11-5. We wont lose to the Lions, Pukes or Bengals. We will probably lose 2 of the other games.

[Skins24]

You know what is really awful about this schedule? I don't think anyone has mentioned it...at least I haven't heard it....but, the last game is in San Francisco.
I don't know....
Remember '99?

5-2 then
5-2 now

Last road game at SF then
Last road game at SF now

Win there and we won the division then

But, we will beat the Cowgirls because they seem to be falling apart.

I see it exactly as you do:

Lions - Win
Steelers - Loss
Cowboys - Win
Seahawks - Win
Giants - Loss
Ravens - Loss
Bengals - Win
Eagles - Loss
Niners - Win

10-6

[Chachie]

All I see is Lions. Moving on.

[Rooblakas]

One game at a time for this Redskins fan. After the win over the Browns, I am definitely concentrating only on the Detroit Lions this week.

[bulldog]

1. Is Campbell going to get back on track to where he was after the Dallas and Philly games?

2. Is Portis going to stay healthy?

3. Is Stephon Heyer going to return and allow Chris Cooley to be more effective as a receiver in the passing game?

4. Are Shawn Springs and Jason Taylor going to finally get over nagging injuries and be consistent forces on defense over the last 9 games?

5. Can ONE of the rookies - Thomas, Kelly or Davis - get on the field and give the offense that one additional threat that can really help the Redskins down the stretch?

Give me the answers to these questions and I can handicap these remaining games :)

[rsc]

17-2 Nuff said

[Stadium-Armory]

One game at a time for this Redskins fan. After the win over the Browns, I am definitely concentrating only on the Detroit Lions this week.


All I see is Lions. Moving on.

Bah, that's no fun. Fans are allowed to look ahead - that's what we do. Lets not loose sight of the fact that we aren't actually part of the team :)

[capt1an chaos]

If we keep playing to the level of our opponent then 10-6. If from here on out we play every game like we played the eagles and the boys then I say 12-4.

[AllBusiness]

As of right now, I am only concerned about the Steelers and Ravens. But not so much the Steelers as Ravens. Home game and all.

[iMeast]

I picked the Redskins to be 6-10 the day they hired Jim Zorn as the head coach, and I will stick by that. I hope it is a lot better though ;-) . :lionsuck:

HTTR

[rsc]

As of right now, I am only concerned about the Steelers and Ravens. But not so much the Steelers as Ravens. Home game and all.

Don't forget about our division games coming up. Yes I know they're at home but the Rams beat us at home. I never take these games lightly no matter how bad they (brokebackboys) look at the moment.

[Capt Rich Fla]

Am I a complete homer if I say 14-2? I see it happening. Yes we have Dallas and NY and Philly. pffft. You know we kill NY at home. Philly and Dallas will be after thaughts by then. NOTHING! 14-2. Mark it down.

[SteelNeil]

12-4 No doubt

Cowgirls finish 9-7 miss the playoffs

[Wyndorf25]

6-2 after next week

8-4 after seattle

11-5 season ending

I agree with this. Realistically, the Skins ought to be 11-5 given the rest of the schedule.

[ballin86]

12-4....i could see 13-3 but we would have to play our best every game, i dont see that happening so 11-5 or 12-4

[Shilsu]

Anything can happen, but I'd be comfortable saying 10-6.

[REDSKINS3000]

14-2

HAIL...:point2sky

[808AIEASKINSFAN]

12-4... No lower than 11-5... This is our year..!!!

[ArsheimSkins]

Every game we've got in winnable, but they for sure won't all be wins. I'm hoping to do just as well the second half as the first: 6-2, 6 -2 = 12 -4 :)

[gutlead74]

14-2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! always aim high if you miss it isnt that bad!!!

[benskins26]

We WILL need to cheer for Dallas vs. NY in 2 weeks though.

Wow, that will be really hard to do.

[PosseLover]

6-2 after next week

8-4 after seattle

11-5 season ending

WTH...you have us losing 2 of our next 4. I think 1 and I think it may be Piittsburgh. They're play very well on Monday nights. I think we handle D at our home and we go to Qwest and beat their arsses...game ball Coach Zorn. My :2cents:

[ke27on]

10/26 @ Lions 1:00 PM ET FOX- Given our offense last 2 weeks, this game scares me a little. Still, I think Clinton can have a big day and we win: 6-2.

11/3 Steelers 8:30 PM ET ESPN- This will be as ugly as today and I figure Steelers win: 6-3

11/9- BYE WEEK

11/16 Cowboys 8:15 PM ET NBC- Both teams will be coming off a bye. Boys will probably be desperate. If we fix our offense, I say we win. If not, the boys will win rematch. I'll think positive and say we sweep them: 7-3.

11/23 @ Seahawks 4:15 PM ET FOX- We finally beat them after 2 playoff losses: 8-3.

11/30 Giants 1:00 PM ET FOX- I think we eek a last minute field goal win: 9-3.

12/7 @ Ravens 1:00 PM ET FOX- Ravens win this one: 9-4

12/14 @ Bengals 1:00 PM ET FOX- We beat what still be the winless Bengals: 10-4

12/21 Eagles 1:00 PM ET FOX- They win the rematch: 10-5

12/28 @ 49ers 4:15 PM ET FOX- We win this game and make a return trip to playoffs: 11-5.


If our passing offense woes aren't corrected; then we lose one or two more games. I am still thinking positive and my gut tells me, we will face the Giants again in the playoffs.

wow this is EXACTLY what I think will happen. Also for the posters saying lets take it one game at a time. WE arent playing in the games, the redskins PLAYERS are playing the games. As a fan, im allowed to look as far ahead as i want to hahaha. I definitely think the players need to be not overlooking detroit who barely won today, but i can already dream of whether or not we'll finally have a home playoff game here for the first time in a long time.

[Glory of the Game]

14-2 until proven otherwise. I expect us to win every game. Looking ahead is irrelevant because the games come one at a time.

I'm a fan.

[imaneaglesfan]

11-5.. possibly 10-6. either way i think u make playoffs as wildcard.

edit: only tough games left on schedule are giants, eagles, ravens. steelgirls are a joke we ran thru them minus alot of players including westy. i figure you'd drop two of the three "tough" games then i figured in one more "hiccup" like the rams game. the key 2your and everyones season 4that matter is health..

[Mackdaddydean]

6-2 after next week

8-4 after seattle



Sorry dude, but there's no way we lose BOTH home games against the Steelers and Cowboys.

[skinsfan328]

I've got 11-5, with a 4-2 record in the NFC East. Finishing 2nd to the Giants in the Division.

[LetsRock]

I say worst we do is 11-5...

We are a good team that has the potential to be great... We can win them all, we could also lose half of them...

Too many people are scared of the steelers... we can win that game at home...

we can...
The Steelers DO NOT LOSE on MNF!!! They are like 102-1-1 on MNF if they have a 11 point lead at halftime.

[emor09]

14-2 no doubt!!!

[Timmy Smith]

The Steelers, Ravens, Giants, Cowboys, Eagles, and even the Seahawks games all scare me. Not to take all the fun out of this thread, but one game at a time. 6-2 would be a real treat at the halfway point.

[Rskins91]

I'm taking it one game at a time. I don't want to look ahead.

I'm just concentrating on 6-2.

Agreed. For us fans, I think that looking ahead is harmless and fun, but I don't feel it's practical. Any given Sunday is really the mantra of this league.

Gotta beat the Lions. Have to get to 6-2.

[JohnnyUtah]

Hopefully we'll end it all with a ring

[NewCliche21]

The Steelers DO NOT LOSE on MNF!!! They are like 102-1-1 on MNF if they have a 11 point lead at halftime.

[santana_4_prez]

For sure wins:
10/26 @ Lions
11/23 @ Seahawks
12/14 @ Bengals
12/28 @ 49ers
I'll say 4 "W"s here

should win
12/7 @ Ravens
11/16 Cowboys
1 "W" out of this group

Either way
11/3 Steelers
11/30 Giants
12/21 Eagles
1 "W" out of this group

So I'll say 6 "W"s. That will make us 11-5. Very realistic.

[Monkfan63]

10-6 ....

[Bacon]

If we continue to play the way we currently are for the rest of the season...

Optimistic: 11-5
Realistic: 10-6

If we fall apart like we usually do mid-season, only to have a good run at the end, 9-7.

[NewCliche21]

So two games separate optimistic from falling apart?

[alleycat]

So two games separate optimistic from falling apart?

Yeah cuz ya know....10 wins is simple these days.

Ya know...10-11 wins is nothing to us skin fans...We have had it so easy for a decade or so...


I think we have 11 wins in us....I will think we had fallen apart if we don't win another this year.

I picked the Redskins to be 6-10 the day they hired Jim Zorn as the head coach, and I will stick by that. I hope it is a lot better though ;-) . :lionsuck:

HTTR

So...we go 1-8 the rest of the year ??

[CounterTrey]

The way I see it, we should beat the Lions, Seahawks, Bungals and 49ers..That should put us at 9-2 based on our current standings.

The tough games are Steelers, Cowboys, Eagles, Giants and Ravens. We normally split our division foes so lets say we end up 1-2 from that based our our history against Division foes. Thats 10-4 right there. If we split Eagles and Steelers we end up 11-5...Basically we can go 2-3 against our 5 toughest games and still amkes the playoffs..


Now taht means we go 4-0 against our weakest 4 games but in the league guys anything can happen so lets just take it 1 game at a time.

I believe we can an 11-5 record and a playoff chance. I'm not going to give out predictions on the playoffs but I will say hands down .. Jim Zorn is the NFL coach of the year.

Being an ass doesn't help your point.

I'm just thinking that optimistic would be around 13-3, 12-4 while realistic would be that 10-6 you talked about.

A collapse, to me, would be 7-9.

I guess we have different definitions of "optimistic."

[Bacon]

So two games separate optimistic from falling apart?

Falling apart...only to have a late-season surge, like always.

I was being a little sarcastic with that. Playing on how 2 out of the last 3 seasons have shown us starting out great, but digging ourselves into an absurdly huge hole, only to dig ourselves out in time for the playoffs. I don't really think that's going to happen again this season, especially when you consider that we haven't started off 5-2 since 1999. Realistically, we're on track for a 10-6 season, perhaps better if we avoid injuries.

[Timmy Smith]

Is it fair to just say that 90% of Skins fans would agree that making the playoffs means the year is a success, while missing out will make it a disappointment (given that we started 5-2)?

Totally agree re: Zorn for coach of the year. Although if the Rams keep this up...

[Aghar]

I just want to be 6-2. :D

To bad you didn't GET IT...I was agreeing with you.

Too bad you were agreeing with me!

Wait, what?

I really truly see this year as different from any in the last decade or so.

I buy into JZ and we have very real talent.

Sarcasm noted...

Alot of teams have a hard time keeping up the emotion for 16 games...

I see this team winning 2 Playoff games...now...Which 2 will it be !!!

[Ned Flanders]

I fixed a few grammatical errors on your behalf, please adhere to my corrections!

What a difference 2 months makes......

I will be the first to eat crow

[Ned Flanders]

So...we go 1-8 the rest of the year ??

Smartest post of this Season!

[Ned Flanders]

Sorry dude, but there's no way we lose BOTH home games against the Steelers and Cowboys.

Wha Wha What?????? WTF Happened!???? WTF
