OK, I admit it.. I was WRONG, but don't tell my wife PLEASE
 

OK, in all of the prediction threads, I insisted the team this year would be lucky to see 8-8... and even half way through the season, I looked to be right....well....

They kicked the crap out of the team that everyone has been saying will rep the NFC in the Super Bowl & they did it against the starters.

Go ahead, let me have it:

:spank:

It takes a big man to admit when he's wrong

Re: OK, I admit it.. I was WRONG, but don't tell my wife PLEASE
 

agreed. I read a lot of posts at the mid point. we're doomed, we're done, there goes the season. Fire Joe. All of those folks are now posting in the Joe must stay thread. I hope they will weigh in on this "I was wrong" thread as well

Re: OK, I admit it.. I was WRONG, but don't tell my wife PLEASE
 

I don't give crap to anyone who owns up and eats crow. Way to man up!

Re: OK, I admit it.. I was WRONG, but don't tell my wife PLEASE
 

Can I join the bandwagon and admit I predicted 7-9?
Heck, we were 5-11 last year and had a young QB...

I also started to doubt Gibbs before Sean Taylor died...

Boy was I wrong.
This coaching staff is really showing their experience now.
Gibbs 2 is solid folks!

Re: OK, I admit it.. I was WRONG, but don't tell my wife PLEASE
 

I think I predicted an 8-8 season too, although I said they'd go to the playoffs with a 9-7 record about a month ago.

Re: OK, I admit it.. I was WRONG, but don't tell my wife PLEASE
 

Me too. I mailed it in at 5-7; thought we were done, and I said so. In the post about next year's draft, I was among those who said the season was over. I love being wrong, I ****ing love it!

Re: OK, I admit it.. I was WRONG, but don't tell my wife PLEASE
 

I predicted 10-6.

Should I be disappointed? ;)

Re: OK, I admit it.. I was WRONG, but don't tell my wife PLEASE
 

I was very wrong as well..i said no way we'd make the playoffs. glad i was wrong.

Re: OK, I admit it.. I was WRONG, but don't tell my wife PLEASE
 

I was wrong too...glad no one took that bet I laid out when we were 5-7. Hail and cheers! Got to give a shoutout to Saunders, his play calling has been money the past 4 games.

Re: OK, I admit it.. I was WRONG, but don't tell my wife PLEASE
 

8-8 +/- 2... safest bet ever :P

[quote=Sheriff Gonna Getcha;399307]I think I predicted an 8-8 season too, although I said they'd go to the playoffs with a 9-7 record about a month ago.[/quote]I predicted 9-7 after our 5-5 start, and said that our tiebreaker advantage would put us in the playoffs. Probably my best prediction was saying that Detroit would finish no better than 9-7 way back when they were 6-2. They were perhaps the biggest frauds in the NFL after that fast start.

Yea thats what i was thinking.... I predicted 11-5.

Re: OK, I admit it.. I was WRONG, but don't tell my wife PLEASE
 

Not to toot my own horn, but I was also one of the ones who predicted 9-7 for this team, though it sure seemed like that was a pipe dream after that heartbreaker in Buffalo.

I recall a stat I saw after we started 2-0 that showed the percentage chance of making the playoffs for teams that finished 9-7 and it was quite high, something like 60-70%? Knowing that 9-7 was "just" playing .500 ball after a 2-0 start, I felt like it was something we could accomplish with this team, I just thought a couple of the wins would have come against different opponents: I figured we'd lose to Minny and beat Buffalo, for example.

All things considered, I'm much happier peaking now with everything that's happened. We owe Seattle some payback from two years ago (I still haven't forgotten that assclown kicker of theirs talking smack about us), and I think we have a real chance to make some noise in the NFC playoffs. The entire NFC may be just an appetizer for the Patriots at this point, but I don't think there is any team in the NFC playoffs that I'm really truly afraid of if we continue to stay healthy and roll the way we our right now...

Re: OK, I admit it.. I was WRONG, but don't tell my wife PLEASE
 

ok i admit i was wrong about al saunders i said i'd like to send him and his 700 page playbook back to kansas city. sometimes the only reason i open my mouth is to change feet. once collins started taking the snaps the whole playbook opened up. sorry al my bad...

Re: OK, I admit it.. I was WRONG, but don't tell my wife PLEASE
 

Joe Gibbs is Mr December. Of course, he's also Li'l Miss November - the month where we get owned every year. Either way, couldn't be happier for Ole Joe and skins fans! Happily eating crow at the moment.

Re: OK, I admit it.. I was WRONG, but don't tell my wife PLEASE
 

I too, like many of you, had serious doubts not long ago. Who wouldn't have after tragedy, blundered calls, injury after injury, etc., struck our team. But, I'm extremely pleased that my doubts have been proven wrong. I predicted a 9-7 season, long before the injuries, and more importantly, before tragedy. Yet it amazes me that the Redskins have risen from such adversity. Maybe God has determined that we have all suffered long enough and that it is time for some healing. On to the playoffs! Who'd have thought this possible a month ago?

Re: OK, I admit it.. I was WRONG, but don't tell my wife PLEASE
 

On the one hand, I would like to go back and complie a list of all the Warpathers who have demonstrated a lack of faith in varying degrees, but I am in a forgiving, magnanimous mood. Kill the fatted calf and all that stuff. Everyone is welcome back as far as I'm concerned. Well, almost everyone. Some men you just can't reach, but we won't worry about them today.

HEY!!!!!!!!!!! You presume ALOT... never left being a Redskin fan.... just didn't believe the team was there yet. I still don't think they are a Super Bowl contender (but anything can happen in the playoffs)... I do think they have shown me something and I think we are on the right track.
:boxing:

Re: OK, I admit it.. I was WRONG, but don't tell my wife PLEASE
 

Dude, don't sweat it. I was with you during the season. I love the Skins, but doubts creeped into my head after they dropped several close games. These last four games, they look dominating. Where was that all year? The real question is: If Collins takes them deep into the playoffs and possibly the Super Bowl, who is the starting QB next year?

I'll man up and say I was wrong for calling for Gibbs head after the Bills game. This run was an indication of what some people said right after Taylor's murder, that this may be the reason he came back. Imagine if we had Billick or Parcells or some other self involved blowhard as a coach. Other than maybe Jeff Fisher or Tony Dungy, I can't think of anyone else who has the class and character to guide us thru this past month.
