Wow, How accurate is this?

Im thinking 10-6 and that is being optimistic.I love Gibbs as much as the next guy but it may take a while to get into the swing of things.

Skins will go 10-6 and make the playoffs as a wild card. The schedule sets up nicely for them.

:eek:

This is a rare moment in WP.net history folks!

SC doesn't dish out much optimism, so sit back and enjoy this one! :cool-smil

;)

I'm right there with ya, 10-6 and a wildcard is what I'm counting on.

i think you guys mean 19-0 ;)

People saying they can't live w/ 8-8 could be the bandwagoners!?!?

I'm just happy to be able to trust our head coach. You haven't heard anything about Danny Boy this season. Gibbs is in control and I think most of us old diehards are quite content with that fact alone. Whatever they finish the season w/ we will all love our Redskins. With Gibbs as the coach you will see a team even in todays NFL. We won't finish 5-11 and I'll guarantee ya that. Nor will any Sunday outing be a disgrace and a laughable 'fuggit' kinda attitude Spurrier brought and tolerated here. Anyone remember the Tampa game last year? I was at the game and it was the first time I've EVER stopped watching a Redskins game. We gave up and didn't care. It was sad. Went into the Club Lounge and watced the Cowboys.
Times have changed.
Gibbs is back. That in itself is clearly darn close to a miracle.
I hope the Redskins make the playoffs as I have season tickets, however I know win or lose this season we will not look like fools, but warriors.
Hail to the Redskins!

WASHINGTON (5-11)

OPTIMISTIC: Coach Joe Gibbs returns after a decade of mediocrity. Gibbs hired many of his old assistants, implemented his old work ethic and acquired some big-name talent, including QB Mark Brunell, RB Clinton Portis and CB Shawn Springs. Assistant coach Gregg Williams is promising to create mayhem with his defense.

PESSIMISTIC: Twelve years is long time to be away, and Gibbs' demanding style could wear thin with today's younger players if team starts slowly. Overhauled offensive and defensive systems will take a while to master. DL is a concern.

ON THE RISE: No. 5 overall pick Sean Taylor has looked impressive at free safety. Free agent signing Portis ($50.5 million contract) needs to prove he's real deal _ and not just an ordinary running back made to look good by Denver's offensive line. OLB LaVar Arrington finally will be turned loose as pass rusher.

ON THE DECLINE: At 33, Brunell can only have so much left, but will start. OTs Chris Samuels and Jon Jansen were once cornerstones of franchise, but Samuels was disappointing last year and Jansen is out for season with Achilles' tendon injury.

EXPECT: Gibbs' mere presence should account for at least two or three wins. But the same was said - inaccurately - of departed coaches Marty Schottenheimer and Steve Spurrier. Redskins should able to flirt with .500 again.

How true is this?


True!
8-8 at worst! Hope it is more like 9, 10, 11, or more wins.
I predicted 8-8 last year! I figure to make that up this year.
HOF Coach Gibbs was 8-8 his first year, during his first stint. At least that, again with Gibbs II!

I feel 9-7 'cause I think we need another draft of young talent to improve our D line/safeties.....we have a few holes on defense.......the loss of Jansen was huge........
