This team is on the verge of greatness... 12-4

Re: Predict Your 2013 Redskins Record (pre-training camp edition)
 

11-5. I think the Redskins will throw the ball more this year. RG3 will scramble less but will run with the football at times out of the read option. In the case of scrambling when the pass play breaks down, RG3 should have learned his lesson to protect himself better. The Redskins have Morris and one of the two rookie Jamison or Thompson will remind us of Ricky Ervins. In the passing game we have a lot of weapons: Garcon, Davis, Reed, Morgan, Robinson, Paulsen, Moss, and either Thompson or Jamison out of the backfield.

Defensively we have Orakpo back. Kerrigan should have a strong year. And of coursse there is Perry Riley and London Fletchers making tackles in the middle. We are stout and strong at defensive lineman. Then the secondary with Meriweather, Hall, Rambo, Thomas, Biggers, and Amerson.

If the Redskins can finish in the top 5 in both total offense and total defense the Redskins will win even more than 11 games in 2013.

I got us at 10-6 and that could honestly swing either way. We have for decades played up or down to our opponents level and we need to stop that in order to have a legit shot at winning anything other than the NFC East....Sure the Division title is nice and I was pumped about it but you only have a short window to do things in this league and we need to start trending upward. We cant have any losses to the likes of teams we should be beating.

Here Is my Season Break down:
Skins vs Eagles WIN
Skins vs Packers Loss
Skins vs Lions Loss
Skins vs Raiders WIN
Skins vs Cowboys WIN
Skins vs Bears WIN
Skins vs Broncos Loss
Skins vs Chargers WIN
Skins vs Vikes WIN
Skins vs Eagles WIN
Skins vs 49ers LOSS
Skins vs Giants LOSS
Skins vs Chiefs WIN
SKins vs Falcons LOSS
Skins vs Cowboys WIN
Skins vs Giants WIN

You can take one of those wins against the Cowboys and possibly add another loss, I just do not think we sweep this Division, I feel like we have a shot against the Packers, and the Broncos but we may not be at that level yet and Rodgers and Manning are tough to crack, and I feel they will both be playoff contenders again. Falcons and 49ers will be the favs in the NFC again and we have yet to prove we can be at that level yet.

I feel like we make the playoffs again, win our first round game, and get knocked out in the 2nd round....but we build toward 2014 when we are in the NFC Championship game and possibly a SuperBowl appearance.

Not to fret over future unknowns, but one thing I noticed in the football mags is that our coaching staff (minus Danny Smith) all have been together for either 2 to 3 years. If we do as well as I expect, I think this may be the year we lose some of our coaches. And part of what makes me have high hopes this year, aside from Griffin and Morris, is the cohesiveness of the staff and players. I think everyone is on the same page now, and in football that is huge. Next year we may very well have new somethin' or others (OC, DC, etc)

Re: Predict Your 2013 Redskins Record (pre-training camp edition)
 

11-5 if RG3 plays 14+

Re: Predict Your 2013 Redskins Record (pre-training camp edition)
 

I voted 10-6, though i feel like that's been my answer for the past couple years now...

Re: Predict Your 2013 Redskins Record (pre-training camp edition)
 

[quote=CRedskinsRule;1015011]Defend the bolded statement.

We went 5-1 in division last year, and I don't think any of the other teams improved markedly. I would say all 3 likely are the same or worse than last year.

In addition we play the AFC East, sorry two of those teams are wins, not saying which two, just that we will split. So if we go 3-3 in division, and 2-2 in AFC (both low in my mind), then we need 3 wins against the north, and Seattle, Atlanta to go 8-8. No way that probability of going 8-8 or worse is 40-45%.[/quote]I already defended it with the next paragraph of the previous post, but I can rephrase it easily.

If the Skins have a 40-45% chance of finishing with 8 or fewer wins, then they have a 55-60% chance of finishing with 9 or more wins. That part of the statement I think a lot of us would agree with: the Redskins are 3 to 2 favorites to win more often than they lose next year.

I'm not going to quibble over exact percentages, which is why I threw a 5% range in there. Those aren't the exact odds. But it's in the ballpark.

If there was any shock value to the downside risk, it just means you weren't looking at the complete picture. I don't think other teams are just going to hand the NFC East over to us. I think we have to go out and earn it with a season very similar to the one we had last year.

Re: Predict Your 2013 Redskins Record (pre-training camp edition)
 

Vegas thinks our over/under this year is 8 wins, [URL="http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/blog/eye-on-football/22322262/nfl-season-overunder-win-totals-nfc-picks"]third in the East[/URL].

Basically a .500 team in a division with three of them.

They basically did that because of griff, again nobody wants to put us in the playoffs right now. Only person that said so was skip. I saw mcscabb last night saying we would only win about 8 games

I believe Griffin stays healthy all season and with that I expect No less than a WC birth. He's that great and our team is getting there overall. I don't know about nfc champion good yet but we should be a contender every yr for a while now.

Re: Predict Your 2013 Redskins Record (pre-training camp edition)
 

I see us at 9-7. Harder schedule and a lot less free games

Its a bogus claim. The girl tweeted that it was to Httr24_7. Check his timeline.

I know the girl personally, she def has pics and tweets willmo who is RG3s BFF from college, check her twitter, rg3 tweets her regularly as well

Ok. Doesn't change that she said it was a joke to httr and others

Re: Predict Your 2013 Redskins Record (pre-training camp edition)
 

Trust me I want it to not be true either, all I know is she does talk to RG3 and snapchats him all the time, not to say they are having relations, but he is def crossing the line for a married man and that worries me

Re: Predict Your 2013 Redskins Record (pre-training camp edition)
 

10-6 at best. A first place schedule, and a new bullseye on your back, can do that to you.

We'll make the playoffs, so we'll have a shot at the Superbowl, if Griffin only misses a couple games.

Honestly what Griffin does off the field is No concern of mine, unless he's Aaron Hernandez. I don't believe that chicks story and I really doubt Griffin would do that because his wife is fine.

It's a non issue.

Re: Predict Your 2013 Redskins Record (pre-training camp edition)
 

I'll say 10-6. Was leaning strongly towards the 11-5, but hard to say without knowing the status of RGIII.

There is nothing to this. These and similar rumors have been going on for months.

Might be nothing to this, but I wouldn't rule it out either. I mean, it's not like this is some old friend from back in the days at Baylor. They obviously just met once he moved here. So why he's got her number and texting ab pics and giving her tickets is a bit sketchy. My guess the wife doesn't know and probably won't be too happy once she finds out. It just looks bad all the way around.


Also, I knew it would end up being a Hooters girl...lol

Re: Predict Your 2013 Redskins Record (pre-training camp edition)
 

Well, it's on the internet, so it's gotta be true

Re: Predict Your 2013 Redskins Record (pre-training camp edition)
 

All I'm saying is I've met Meredith and I have personally seen pics of rg3 at his home and snapchats of him eating pizza and such. He's prolly just flirting or now but either waiy its trouble.

How many smoking hot Hooters girls are you sending ab texts to that you met last year? :joecool: :laughing-

Re: Predict Your 2013 Redskins Record (pre-training camp edition)
 

Either way, what RGIII does is his business. As long as it's not criminal, it's really none of our concern.

Re: Predict Your 2013 Redskins Record (pre-training camp edition)
 

He can't get suspended for that? I
Figured the league wouldn't like him cheating on his wife since he's a role model and what not, but yeah if he can't get suspended I could care less lol

Re: Predict Your 2013 Redskins Record (pre-training camp edition)
 

Suspended for what?

Oh boy.

Re: Predict Your 2013 Redskins Record (pre-training camp edition)
 

The internet rumor now is that the girl has an in shape black friend who she has in her phone as RG3. He sent her the picture of his abs. It wasn't RG3. RG3 has sent her a tweet like he has for all the other redskin guy and girl fans out there.

It don't think its anything to worry about. Athletes cheating on their spouses isn't rare, as we all know. RG3 comes off to me as a smart guy with some common sense. He doesn't come off to me as a guy who is going to start cheating on his fiancee of a few years right before his wedding. Twitter isn't CSI.

Re: Predict Your 2013 Redskins Record (pre-training camp edition)
 

i thought the favre scandal was gonna get him suspended, but maybe thats bc she was a cheerleader, i like the redskins but its not exactly my job so forgive me if I dont know what these guys can and cant do without getting suspended. I mean you cant smoke pot in a pot legal state without getting suspended by the nfl so I assumed adultery wouldnt be any different since its in fact illegal in most states. Opposite points, but you get the idea.

Probably not his abs. Almost definitely not his tickets.

I just saw a picture of him (and groomsman) in Vegas and his abs most certainly didn't look like that. Kind of messed up with her pulling a prank like that though.... Unfortunately, people take these types of jokes and run with them.

Training camp can't start soon enough.

[QUOTE=Mattyk;1015518]Suspended for what?

Did Bret favre get suspended? Nope.

Favre was in some hot water for sending shots of his junk to a woman and leaving her inappropriate voicemails, there was a question of possible harassment which I believe went nowhere.

This RG3 thing isn't even in the same boat, it's not a legit story otherwise the mainstream media would be all over it.

[quote=over the mountain;1014958]i voted 8-8 or less [B]at this point[/B].

very very worried about RG3's knee ... still cannot believe they allowed him to go back in after the our first TD.

dr. andrews saying RG3 is like AP in that they are physical specimens and recover much quicker than your average athlete but ... alot of rg3's success depends on his knees and agility.

.... and our secondary is still suspect until proven otherwise.[/quote]

Does this make me an a-hole for immediately bumping this?

yes, yes it does.
