Im guessing 7-10

Wins against Jags, Lions, Bears, Colts, Texans, Falcons and Giants

1-5 in division

[U]Hot takes[/U]

Heinike plays more snaps then Wentz by seasons end

Slye gets cut

Pass pro is an issue

3rd down D is an issue

Re: 2022 Commanders Season Prediction Thread
 

9-8

Wentz has a solid season (28 Tds 13 INTS)

Defense will keep us down, JDR sucks

4-13.
Howell will finish the year as QB1.
Scott Turner will be fired by Snyder on Halloween, a day after the Colts humiliate the team and rub the Wentz trade in our faces.

Rivera is just here to cash checks.

Re: 2022 Commanders Season Prediction Thread
 

I refuse to believe that this team won't improve on last year's record. I think the overall shade being thrown towards Wentz, and the team in general, is way over the top. You can argue that it's warranted, but I'm not buying into it. I think the defense will surprise...not top 10 surprise, but top 15. I think the offense takes a big step forward - averaging 25+ points per game. I have them winning half of the "Wentz revenge" games, losing two close games to PHI. They will sweep the NYG, and split with DAL.

11- 6, which will be good enough for a Wild Card spot.

6-11 or 7-10. No way does this team have a winning record. I just don't see it. Way too many holes starting w/ the QB.

Did you know Norv is living in Del Mar? Maybe Scott can join him out there when Dan gives him the ax mid season.

1-1 or 0-2 after the first 2 weeks.

I'll admit it's fairly optimistic, but like I said, I'm not buying into all the hate. I just don't think there's any way they don't have a better record than last year.

The offense should be better than last year with Wentz, a true #2 in Dotson, a healthy Samuel, and basically the same running game - which will only get stronger should B Rob come back at some point.

The defense should be better as well. With the exception of the second Dallas game, they were [I]pretty decent[/I] down the stretch last year despite all the injuries and COVID issues.

Yup, simply the quality of QB we will be facing vs last year too should help a lot with the defense.

Re: 2022 Commanders Season Prediction Thread
 

I think it will be on the coaches one way or the other and it will be noticeable. I'm hoping to compete for the division but I don't know. We get a lot of bullshit officiating too, as do quite a few teams, and I don't care if it's "crying" or not.. there's plenty of bad calls that build up and cost games at key points. They've done it to us for years... that and some REALLY BLATANT piss poor "reviews".

Coaches need to scheme well enough to give our guys a chance. I am NOT that confident in this.

Refs suck ass and it's an uphill battle every year.

The talent is here for the most part and the defense can be coached up, work hard but still will need to be put in the right spots.

I hope for 9 or 10 wins.. I feel like 7 or 8..

I don't know hard to tell.

Re: 2022 Commanders Season Prediction Thread
 

I agree with Meks… nuff said

Re: 2022 Commanders Season Prediction Thread
 

Just beat the fucking Jaguars. If we don't win that one, the season is already over. In 4 days we will know if the season already sucks or if we can pump the sunshine.

Re: 2022 Commanders Season Prediction Thread
 

I'm not as brave as Chief, but I think 10-7 is very much possible. I don't see the need to fear anyone in the division and 4 of 6 wins are possible there. Aside from that 3 game stretch starting with GB, all the other games are winnable.

Re: 2022 Commanders Season Prediction Thread
 

8-9. Last in the division and Ron is given his walking papers.

Re: 2022 Commanders Season Prediction Thread
 

If we get the Wentz from the last 2 years 6-11
If we get the Wentz from the 3 previous years 11-6

Sadly I think the former is the most likely.

I would respectfully disagree. Without rehashing the discussion about what happened to Wentz the last two years , I think that having a fresh start in an offense with far more talent at the skill positions and not being relied upon to carry the team on his back , you are more likely to see the "good" Wentz, whether that lasts past this year is another question.

My biggest concern is whether they once again start slow against what should be the easiest part of the schedule forcing them to have go on an unbeaten run mid season just to get into the playoff discussion

I agree about the offense. The defense? I disagree. They will still be atrocious on 3rd down.

He didn't have a great year his rookie season (2016), but it's fair to say that most rookie QBs struggle in their first year.

2020 was an off year for him, but he basically had no O-line. Their Center was the only O-lineman that didn't end up on IR that year, and I read somewhere that they went through like 14-15 different O-line combinations that year. I get the argument that a franchise QB should be able to overcome the shortcomings around him - elevate the team despite... but that was just a bad team. He doesn't necessarily get a pass, but you can't put that season all on him. Not even close. Let's not forget, Philly fired the Head Coach two months before they traded Wentz to Indy (for a 1st and 3rd).

It's hard to find a bad year beyond his rookie year and 2020, yet if you listen to the national media, he is a complete scrub. It's somewhat laughable.

In order for them to be a really good d they need serious production from Young. He was the #2 pick in the draft and right now he is out for a while. But when he was healthy last year not much. You just can't miss on that pick. That would hurt any team but especially this one. They need him to be dominate.

Re: 2022 Commanders Season Prediction Thread
 

After losing a game they should have won against the Broncos, this team won four in a row against the Buccaneers, Panthers, Seahawks, and Raiders. In that five game stretch against Teddy Bridgewater, Tom Brady, Cam Newton, Russell Wilson, and Derek Carr, the defense only gave up 17 points per game. Then they were blasted by injuries and COVID issues going into five games in a row against Division opponents. According to Mark Gaughan of the Buffalo News, they lost a total of 111 games by starters in 2021. Only the Lions, Ravens, Giants and Jets had worse injury luck last season.

I am on the side of the fence that saw the defense improving last year, only to be snake-bitten for the most important stretch of the season. I see no reason why that improvement can't carry over this year, especially if the offense improves.

Re: 2022 Commanders Season Prediction Thread
 

7 wins a disaster..
11 wins a miracle…
So Somewhere in the middle .. my gut says 9 wins

The first 2 games are the most important in recent history .. we win those then playing .500 ball the rest of season will get it done , lose the first 2 and it will be a long season ..

Re: 2022 Commanders Season Prediction Thread
 

I think 7-10. I think they start off slow (like always)...maybe barely beat the Jags but lose to Lions, Eagles, and boys...get better towards the end of the season but too little too late. Defense is bad again and JDR is let go. I really think their only chance at a winning season is Wentz and the passing game are on point because Turner finally has a QB with an arm and they just put up points every week to outscore their bad defense.

Re: 2022 Commanders Season Prediction Thread
 

Never won more than 10 under Snyder and that won't change this year. 10 wins is the ceiling if things break right. I think more than likely it's 8-9 wins.

Looks like you have the road teams back to front, not sure that it affects your prediction

I would hope we could take at least one game from Dallas or Eagles, and fancy our chances at home to the Titans. I think in year 3 it should not be a big deal to expect a winning season. If we are still only winning 7 games against this schedule then they are in serious "blow it up" territory. Like last year they showed the guts win a couple of games they weren't favoured in and we have , in theory, a better QB and offense in general this year

I am going for an optimistic 10-7, anything less than 9-8 will be cause for concern.... if all goes well , which it hardly ever does for us, then 11 or 12 wins is feasible

Re: 2022 Commanders Season Prediction Thread
 

NFC East is still a weak division .. 10 wins gets a division title ..

Oh yep I did... Honestly no it doesn't affect my prediction. In an optimistic view I do see us splitting with both Dallas and Philly, and goind 10 and 7. But I think both are better teams on paper.

Re: 2022 Commanders Season Prediction Thread
 

I don’t know how many wins we will get but I don’t see us making the playoffs, think we will be fighting the Giants for the cellar.I think Philly is going to be much improved and who knows with Dallas,but Dallas will definitely be better than us.
I think Sam Howell will be getting his chance before the season is up either because of our record,Wentz sucks or injured.
Whenever I have dire predictions for the skins,I truly hope I eat my words,but this team has just been a train wreck for so long…….
