I also read somewhere that if we lose and finish last in the division, we get to play the Lions on the road and the Seahawks at home next year. If we win, we have to play two much tougher opponents - cant remember who they were, but it was something like Colts at Home, Steelers on the road...
it made me kinda hope we lose, so we have an easier schedule next year.
shouldn't be the Steelers. We'll probably play the COlts next year, but you only play one division cross-conference each year.

All this talk about us losing and getting to play "Easy" teams?? I do not get it.. I seem to remember we lost to the Rams this year and we also lost to the Bengals who only had three wins. So do we really want to play the easy teams, as we seem to have a habit of playing down to their level?
Whatever happens happens, but I will never cheer for the Skins to lose.
Also if we had beaten those two bad teams,, guess who would be going to the playoffs this year...

Could'nt of said it better myself! Win and let the pieces fall where they may. I'm not trying to back into anything. HAIL REDSKINS!!!
Screw that( cheering the Skins to lose)!!!!!!!! 9-7 isn't to hot, but it is a marked improvement to last season and will show the folks that keeping Zorn around was warranted. He still needs to do some massive tinkering with his WCO setup though to have a successful '09.

No there's not. There's no material difference when it comes to cap impact of drafting 13th compared to 18th. It's not something you'd worry about.
Schneedy is right. First rounder is going to cost you some $$$$$$$$$$$$$$, no matter if he is 1st or 32nd. THere will be a difference of course, but you are still going to shell out a big wad of dough for a guy with that first rounder tag on him. You know those agents are going in for the kill then.

Football 101 people. Each team plays 4 games from the opposite conference per year, all in the same division. We play the AFC West next year. We played the AFC South in 2006. We play that division again in 2010.

Not to mention the parity in the NFL... See teams like the Dolphins and Falcons. You just never know who is going to drastically improve from one season to the next. This business of rooting for the Skins to lose so we can speculate on possibly having a stronger schedule is flat out stupid IMO.
