[QUOTE=BrudLee]It's a disappointment, but this isn't the same feeling as last year.

Last year, the questions (before Spurrier "retired"), were "Who do we fire from this staff to make things better?" Though I'm happy another offensive mind is joining the team, I feel pretty good about this staff, top to bottom.[/QUOTE]

Exactly. The season itself was a huge dissapointment to me, because I expected to be a playoff team. I was wrong. However, the direction of the team this year, is different than any team we've had in about 5 years. I've actually seen them progressing on the feild, and not just in the headlines. Now there is still alot of work to do, but if you watch the last game of the season last year, and the last game this year, you have reason to belive this team is going to be much better. Not because of the headlines, but because of their play.

BTW, does anyone know when guys should start resigning. I'm getting a little restless waiting...

I think the coaches are on a 2-week vacation right now, things should start picking up soon

A lot of people over at PFW think we were a disappointment this year. Whatever, I think it takes a year...[/QUOTE]

He also said "Cowher is fired in Pittsburgh after another losing season."

Time heals all wounds.

Damn, its kinda fun to go back and see peoples predictions. Some people were actually close on some stuff.

Boy I really nailed it with the Falcons and Steelers, LOL

Sorry Matty, but once I saw your post w/ Brunell throwing for 3500 yds I had to call you out.

No hard feelings....

fair enough, I think all that made predictions can be called out for something though

Mine will always be unapologetically optimistic

Just messing w/ ya. I couldn't help it when I saw the Brunell prediction.

LOL. Okay, I'll accept the ball busting. Of course I had high expectations that fizzled. But what do you want me to say? I hate the Skins and refuse to ever cheer for them again? Call Joe Gibbs a disappointment? Hell no! So now I am of the school of thought "Wait 'til next year!", hence I say "it takes a year"

Anyways, as far as my 12-4 record prediction, it should have happened. We should have swept the Cowboys, beat the Eagles on the Sunday nighter, beat Baltimore, Cleveland, and the Giants (the first time). None of those games were blow outs and the Skins were in a real postion to win them all. Just dumb mistakes prevented wins there. But with a year under Gibbs' belt, imagine next year!

As far as my Cowher prediction that Brud brought up, hey, I just don't like the guy. So I was hoping he'd fall flat on his face. No BFD, he and his rookie QB will get creamed this weekend and that's good enough for me.

You have to have someone to balance SC... you know, yin and yang?

You're not alone.
I don't know too many people who thought the Skins would go 6-10 this year... And I don't know too many people who think the Skins will go 6-10 next year.

only game they were'nt in was the 1st eagles game.a few good calls and breaks,they would have been 12-4.
