NFL: Marshal Faulk picks Skins to win NFC East

[TheShredder]

Sorry if it there was a previous thread to this....

On NFL Network Marshal Faulk picks Redskins to win NFC East.

Warren Sapp picks Redskins to finish 2nd behind the Cowgirls.

and of coarse Jay Johnston picks the Redskins to finish Third (behind which two wasn't stated).

Of coarse it's not ESPN, as the Redskins don't get any props from them, ever!

However, it's was nice to hear a Hall of Famer pick the Redskins on NFL Network!

HAIL!!!

[GritzRgreat]

And so do i, but i pick the Skins every year.

Might get a bit more optimistic when I see us beat Dallas Week 1

It's not the typical hate anyways. I would definitely say that Marshal called it when he said that coach was punishing AH and wasn't going to pass the test...he also went on to say that it would be a matter of time before AH would pull up with a hammy or strain if it continued. He's been around...

Two quick points on this:

1. Marshall Faulk is not (yet) a Hall of Famer.

2. He is, however, apparently a drug addict, and/or doesn't actually watch NFL games. Picking the team that didn't win a single division game last year to actually win the division . . . clueless!

Dude who pissed you off?? I think its OK to get a lil luv once in awhile from the analyst. When someone finally says something positive you piss on them and call them drug addicts?? I don't get it, if your a true fan just enjoy the positives sheez...

I'd love to see a source about him being a drug addict and never watching any NFL games. Because without one you're coming off as a total dickwad.

Anyway, it's nice to hear some positives about the Skins no matter what analyst is saying it.

I agree with you. Faulk might not be a Hall of Famer right now but he does know his football unlike some of the other guys that just go with the flow. I am not saying that the Redskins will win the NFC East but look at the Saints emergence to SB Champs. Anything can happen.

Analyst's opinions, power rankings, etc., are stupid, and I could not care less about them - it's just the sports media machine making noise. How many extra wins does it get the team when an NFL analyst picks them to win the division - that's right, zero! So I don't care what they say.

And picking the Redskins to win the division? That's just silly. I'd love to be wrong, but this team hasn't won the division in over 10 years, is coming off a 4-12 season, and didn't win a single division game last year. Rome wasn't built in a day, and division winners aren't usually built overnight either.

I'm a true fan, but not a blind one.

I can't help but get excited! Sapp even picked us second... We are moving on up!

To the haters... This is extremeskins.com, get the fudge out!

[Tastes Like Chicken]

I always liked Faulk, now I know why. The mans a genius!

I hear ya and understand what your saying but keep in mind (and hopefully since your a true fan you've been keeping up) this is a totally revamped team from top to bottom. On paper I feel that we have a very strong team and now we have the coaches to put it all together. I know analyst are just that "analyst" but when we've been getting pissed on (well deserved) for the last 5yrs it feels good for them to talk positive about our Skins. I don't drink the kool-aid but I do feel that we have a VERY strong chance of winning the division as well, I'm not convinced that the Cowboys are as strong as everyone says because of the following:

Soft DB's
Soft LB's
Romo interested in being a professional golfer
Soft coach
Soft O-line
Austin will prove he was a one hit wonder

Now they do have a strong running game
A decent TE
A strong D-line

Philly to young and have an unproven QB
Giants, I've never been really impressed..

Say what you want as everyone is entitled to their opinion but I truly think this year will be totally different than what we've seen in the past!

Hey as long as it's not Sports Illustrated picking us to finish 1st, I can live with the love Marshall threw to us.

I completely hope you're right, but we aren't really going to know until the (real) games start. The season opener vs. Dallas will answer a lot of questions. Until then, it's like Bill Parcells always said - you are who your record says you are.

I always liked it better when the analysts picked the 'skins to do poorly - kept the team from getting a big head, and maybe gave them a chip on their shoulder. I'd rather our team get trashed in the media and actually respond by winning some games, rather than get hyped up by the media and respond by always falling short (like the Cowgirls and Chargers always seem to do).
