Be Bold 4/15/07
 

So this is my new annual thread that I will create weekly or monthly(depending on my laziness). It is called "Be Bold". It is a quick and easy thread that will hopefully have a poll in the near future.

The object of the thread is to make a rational but bold prediction between two options. The first annual thread will be the projected record in 2007 barring injury to starters. It is always sexy and easy to pick 8-8 and around there. We will not pick that, but instead we will BE BOLD.

The Washington Redskins will go either:

A)6-10 and lower
OR
B)10-6 and higher

Answer below. Be Bold.

Re: Be Bold 4/15/07
 

im going 11-5 i just got this gut feeling

Re: Be Bold 4/15/07
 

For the first time in Cap history we did not win the offseason free agent Superbowl. Our pieces must be in place. 12-4

Re: Be Bold 4/15/07
 

I'm gonna say 9-7 to 10-6. Not gonna win the division, but the Wild Card is a definite possibility.

You aren't being bold. I also predict 9-7 as the realistic one, but the whole point of this exercise is to pick an extreme that is rational.

By the way my pick is 6-10 and below. I just feel there is a better chance that we will lose big than win big.

Re: Be Bold 4/15/07
 

11-5. We are golden im telling you! I don't know about the superbowl, but I think we will be back in the playoffs this year.

Re: Be Bold 4/15/07
 

Seeing that this is offseason this is suppose to be more of a game/exercise, so don't think you are making a specific record prediction. It is about thinking about the two choosing and picking one, even if you it might not be your answer if you were not constrained.

Okay. You want bold? I'm saying the schedule is a little soft. I'm gonna go with 12 wins. Losses to everyone in the division once and the Pats. They get everybody else.

Re: Be Bold 4/15/07
 

10-6 Is that better?

Re: Be Bold 4/15/07
 

6-10 lol. If we don't fix our defensive line problem it won't matter if we had All-Pro's at every position in the secondary, we'd still suck on defense. That and we still don't know if Jason Campbell will go back or forward this season.

Haha yes, there is my main man. Be Bold my friend. I like it lol.

Re: Be Bold 4/15/07
 

[quote=angryssg;297999]10-6 Is that better?[/quote]

lol you dont get it, you were fine....I said 10-6 or higher, and 12-4 fits that category.

If you look at my choices it is either A or B. Basically all records from 7-9 to 9-7 are excluded from your options.

And I am working on your cookie bud, I owe you.

Technically, his Sophmore slump would have been last season. Let's just hope I'm right.

What about 2005? Bodes well doesn't it?

Re: Be Bold 4/15/07
 

16-0

Re: Be Bold 4/15/07
 

With out a doubt 11-5, win the division and lose a heartbreaker in the championship, now that is [B]bold![/B]

I say we end up 10-6. I would say 11-5, but it's gonna tough to vastly improve a D that was 31st overall and 27th in scoring. I think it will improve, but how much depends on that damn D-line.

That's novel.

6-10

Re: Be Bold 4/15/07
 

11-5 is the number, I like!

Re: Be Bold 4/15/07
 

This is so tough to predict because you are kept wondering who we are. Are we the team that reeled off five wins in a row to make the playoffs and build momentum, or are we the team who couldn't even beat the Vikings and Titans at HOME last year? Being the fact that we have the majority of the pieces from our 2005 campaign BACK from free agency plus Smoot, I'm going with 10-6 or above barring no major injuries.

If Campbell, Cooley, Fletcher or Springs get hurt, then my prediction goes down to below 6-10. They are VITAL cogs.

Re: Be Bold 4/15/07
 

15 - 1

We'll lose at home to the 0 - 15 Cowboys for our only loss and their only win of the season. Naturally, we wouldn't play any of our starter's.

Re: Be Bold 4/15/07
 

[B]9-7[/B]

I was bold, wasn't I?

Sorry, but I'm going to nitpick. I'm pretty sure that if something is annual, it's not created on a weekly or monthly basis, it's created once a year. If hooskins can have his "Be Bold" thread, I think my movie quote thread should be reinstated and removed from Thread Hell!!!!

Re: Be Bold 4/15/07
 

12-4, I really feel that we are going to get our 4th sb this year

Re: Be Bold 4/15/07
 

Hoo, were you drunk when you created this thread? It's basically telling us to forget being realistic unless we think the Skins are going to be either really bad or really good.

I'm not sure why saying we're going to be mediocre is frowned upon?

Re: Be Bold 4/15/07
 

I'm really not a fan of being bold, I'd rather be sassy!

Re: Be Bold 4/15/07
 

My gut feeling (subject to change, depending on my mood) is that we will have a much more potent offense, though still plagued by mistakes and inexperience due to Campbell's development. I don't see the defense getting all that better especially with only one draft pick, and with the uncertainty that the front office will use it where they should -- at the D-line. So I'm thinking they'll be marginally better, say 7-9 or 8-8.

But for the purposes of this thread, 6-10 or worse.

Re: Be Bold 4/15/07
 

i say 11-5 maybe one or 2 more wins i like the off season moves we've made and if we land okoye well be even better than expected

Re: Be Bold 4/15/07
 

I got us at 12-4. When I went through the schedule I have us losing to the PAts, Jets, Eagles, and Giants. Of course we sweep the Cowboys and beat the Bears. I'd say thats pretty bold.

I would personally prefer them go 1-15 then 8-8. I'm so sick of them being mediocre, either suck really bad and draft another Sean Taylor, or be good enough to make the playoffs. Everything in between just leads to frustration cause then they lose games they "should" win or vice versa.

Re: Be Bold 4/15/07
 

Id say above 10-6 but I always seem to overestimate. Every game we play I honestly think that the Skins will win. I dont pick them to win unrealisticly but I think they usually have a decent chance. After last year and the losses they incurred Im not to sure which team they will become this season. As I looked through the schedule I picked them to go exactly 11-5, but there are always teams out there like the entire AFC East that you just can't assume they will beat. Im so ready for some football!

Re: Be Bold 4/15/07
 

I am sure to be attacked for this.... but they have not been making the right moves and I see 5-11 on the horizon.

Re: Be Bold 4/15/07
 

11-5 or 10-6 (Jets game could be a loss due to injuries).

Re: Be Bold 4/15/07
 

11-5 or 10-6 (Jets game could be a loss due to injuries). We'll find a way to hold on to a lead in the 4th Qtr this year.

Re: Be Bold 4/15/07

Wow, that is bold, just in the opposite direction. Yikes.

[quote=Mattyk72;298167]What moves would you prefer to be seeing?[/quote]
I am not sold on JC.... I don't think we have had a QB we could be confident in since Brad Johnson. I also want a 6'4" speed demon WR that will scare DB's in the league. In other words, someone built like Westbrook only with the heart to go along with the talent.
