Remainder of the season: Conservative Predictions

If we win the next two games, we'll finish no worse than 10-6. I predicted that if we beat Dallas in week 2, it would decide how our season would go. So far, I believe I'm right.

Since those TD passes to Moss against Dallas, it has been a whole new offense.

i think we're looking at 10-6, but could do better if our D stops giving up 80yard runs every game...

One thing is for sure, neither the Eagles nor the Giants can afford to play us close. I also don't believe neither are capable of putting us away early - which also proves not to work. They are going to have to hope we put the ball on the ground. Basically, they're going to have to rely on us beating ourselves like we did the last two weeks.

Nobody on the schedule really scares me, right now the Skins are capable of beating anybody.

If they just go 6-4 the rest of the way that gets them to 10 wins and in all likelihood a playoff spot.

We ought to study whatever Philly did today. They shut down LT.
thats because theyve got trotter playing like a monster for them against the run,(I didnt see the game,just a guess)

I think Oakland, STL, and Arizona all are TERRIBLE. I think those are wins. Of the 5 NFC East games remaining, I think it's very possible for us to go 3-2. That would give us 10 wins. And I think the Chargers and Bucs (sans Greise) are both beatable. Figure 1-1 for them.

By that count we'd go 11-5. But even if we go 2-3 against the NFC East, that's still 10-6.

The team can't look ahead though, they have to go one game at a time. They really need to beat the Giants next weekend.
Good point. The bucs have Rattay now. I don't like their chances anymore but let's see what Gruden does now. Greise was not great, but he knew the system and was efficient.

Here is the thing:
The NFC East has become the dominant NFC division again. Whoever wins our division should have the best chance at going to the SuperBowl. Right now, we control our own destiny after 6 games. I'm very happy with that.

There are some tough games on the schedule ahead of us. If we are a good team, and I think we are, then we win the most of the tough games and win all of the games against weaker teams. We have proved that we should expect to win every week. And, by the way, now we have Lavar back!

Just for Kicks here's my thoughts:

Oct. 30 v. Giants: Win
Nov. 6 vs. Eagles: Win
Nov. 13 @ Buccaneers: Loss
Nov. 20 vs. Raiders: Win
Nov. 27 vs. Chargers: Loss
Dec. 4 @ Rams: Win
Dec. 11 @ Cardinals: Win
Dec. 18 vs. Cowboys: Win
Dec. 24 vs. Giants: Win
Jan. 1 @ Eagles; Loss


But I think we can pretty much beat anybody on the schedule - Week to week, it's just a matter of how focused we are and how the ball bounces.

I am already planning for the Skins first home playoff game in 6 (?) years.

The great thing going for the Redskins right now, is that their 2 loses are against the AFC, which in the tiebreaker situations is way down the list. As long as they keep winning NFC games, that will help tremendously in the tiebreaker department.
