Vegas over/under for Skins wins in "05"

I thought that was kind of weird too. Jones did great and since he's my boy from UVA, it was even more upsetting the Bears took Jones. I guess they want two different kinds of backs.


I think the reason for drafting Cedric Benson was because of his duralbility and the fact that he's an every down back.

But I do agree, I like Jones and he did play well.

When I say Jones, I mean Benson, but you guys already know that.

i hate half wins

The Bears will have a pretty solid defense, especially along that line. I don't think they got any help on the offense (besides a rookie RB), or did they get some good pickups? Which I thought was kind of silly seeing how well Thomas Jones did last year.


We did run all over that line last year....portis for 171!! They did pick up Muhammed from Carolina and now have Rex Grossman back, which is a huge step up from last year carousel they played under center! (and Benson of course) And some offensive lineman too!! That defense they have is vulnerable......I hear they are getting rid of R.W. McQuarters because of salary cap constraints........I would agree with you though.......Thomas Jones is a SOLID RB! But we should be able to move the ball on that Defense like we did last year! We better beat the Bears to start the season!

Also forgot to mention the Redskins were posted at 40 to 1 to win the Superbowl.

that horse in the kentucky derby's odds were 50 to 1 and look, he won it.

i think we could realistically go 7-9 to 10-6 , if we learn how to close out games and we can more than 17 points a game.as far as the bears go, i am not scared of them.especially offensivley. defense their secondary doesn't even register.but i like their coach.

Teams I think we will beat:

Bears
Cowboys once
Seahawks
Broncos
49ers
Giants twice
Eagles once
Buccaneers
Raiders
Cardinals

So I'd say we have a real shot at going 11-5 if we beat the teams we SHOULD beat.

This is optomistic to say the least. After the last few years I would do cartwheels for splits with the birds and boys. As for the topic of this thread...I would think the Skins will go at least 8-8 this year.

Me too, but I just have a feeling about it. It's been WAAAAAAAAAY too long.

We're due.

We're splitting with the Birds..........I guarantee it.

Broncos, Raiders and Seahawks will be tough. If we can get 2 of those 3, I'd be really happy. Overall I'm pretty much with you though MC. I'm thinking 9-7 isn't a stretch, and I'll hope for 10-6.
