Can The Redskins go undefeated in the NFC East?
 

Yes or no? Like a lot of people in Redskins Nation, I'm feeling hopeful about our chances of being a very good team this year. I know what the elder Shanahan said about not getting carried away. But with play makers we have on offense to go along with the suffocating 3-4 defense, the Redskins could very well have a top 10 offense and defense this year that will greatly assist in having a winning record at the end of the season. But can the Redskins go 6-0 versus the NFC East this year. We played Dallas close last year in two games. We beat the NYG twice last year and we played the Eagles tough with average players last year. Now we have the players we need to succeed on both sides of the ball. How do we match up against the rest of the NFC East and are we cable of beating each opponent two times? I know it's a tall order, but I firmly believe that this Redskins team is capable.

Let's wait till they meet their first NFC foe before asking the question.

Let's worry about st louis tomorrow bro. One game at a time.

Re: Can The Redskins go undefeated in the NFC East?
 

Lotta people jinx this St Louis game...I hope we can just escape it with a win.

Re: Can The Redskins go undefeated in the NFC East?
 

Wow...win one game and get pretty starry eyes.....
Who wants to put up a super bowl three peat thread?
:oink:

Re: Can The Redskins go undefeated in the NFC East?
 

We should focus on going undefeated in our first two games first. Long ways to go before we even play an NFC East opponent.

Re: Can The Redskins go undefeated in the NFC East?
 

Omg. Close this mofo now!

Re: Can The Redskins go undefeated in the NFC East?
 

I think we are way jumping the gun on this question. Of course the true fan in me wants us to sweep the division every year, but you are asking a lot of a rookie to sweep this division. Would love to see it, but I highly doubt that even if we do win the division we sweep these three teams.

Re: Can The Redskins go undefeated in the NFC East?
 

Can we win the World Series in 4 games?

Re: Can The Redskins go undefeated in the NFC East?
 

Can you start three threads in a row that don't suck?

I kid, I kid

Seriously though, let's win one division game first

Re: Can The Redskins go undefeated in the NFC East?
 

Way too really to be thinking that. Come on St. Loius!!! Come get some!

Re: Can The Redskins go undefeated in the NFC East?
 

Redskin fans crack me up. Can we just win 2 games or even 7 this year before talking about undefeated lol. People who talk like this are the ones that always get me laughed at when i say im a fan, because people talk about us for a week on sportscenter and some fans start talking dynasty.

Re: Can The Redskins go undefeated in the NFC East?
 

(FACEPALM) We win won game and then a thread like this comes up....If we lose to St. Louis tomorrow the next thread will be "Who could we get with the first pick in the second round"

Yeah and fans come out of nowhere. I have new neighbors that just moved in that are from va, well the dude said he'll start rooting again since RG3 is there. Smh

Yeah. If RGIII takes off like we hope, get ready for bandwagoners galore.

In a couple years, being able to explain the relevance of "The Swinging Gate" , "The Ol' Ball Coach" and "Sherriff Gonna Getcha" will be a mandatory litmus test for true Redskin Long Marchers.

As for the Warpath, we will always have Question 3 and Pie.

This.




Listen, I'm excited just as much as the next guy, but it's one game. ONE GAME. I'll say this one more time. ONE GAME. Let's put the brakes on all this NFC East (superbowl, nfc championship, etc) perfection talk right now. Let's allow 12 games to go by before we can start talking about something of this nature.

Re: Can The Redskins go undefeated in the NFC East?
 

But we ARE undefeated in the NFCE. Enjoy.

All bets are off week 7.

Can we add the question, "What play did Zorn run on the Redskins own 1 yard line that will go down and possibly the dumbest play call in Redskins history?" (Besides the swinging gate)

I'm seeing a couple redskins hats pop up in Vegas. On one hand glad to see the team getting support, on the other hand I've been here for years and have never seen one.


As far as undefeated, the answer is no we will not. Even in the best of years it's rare for a NFC east team to go undefeated in division.

Re: Can The Redskins go undefeated in the NFC East?
 

I know I know, we need to stay humble. That said, 19-0. I'm just going to put this out there, I think it's realistic. If we extrapolate our current season record to the rest of the season, we will stay undefeated. What do you guys think? Attainable? Or am I hitting the meth pipe too hard?

Attainable ,sure,why not?

Re: Can The Redskins go undefeated in the NFC East?
 

I agree with others here, but I'll play the game. The aredskins looked like the only team that played well. The Dallas/Giants game was so ho-hum until after the half that I was ready to turn away. To me neither team played well on either side of the ball.

The Eagles looked really bad against the Browns.

Now the only other option is that those two games were played by teams that are so good and possible contenders that they couldn't do anything worth while against each other. And the Saints are not really good this year.

I think we can split the division.

Re: Can The Redskins go undefeated in the NFC East?
 

[COLOR="Red"][B]NO![/B][/COLOR] No team will go undefeated in the NFC East.

I would be happy if we split the division games while finishing 9-7.

Re: Can The Redskins go undefeated in the NFC East?
 

We've won one game. One. Right now my thoughts are on winning two.

Everyone knows that only the first game counts. The other 15 are just for show. :)

Re: Can The Redskins go undefeated in the NFC East?
 

Agreed. Last year after one game we beat the Giants and looked pretty impressive doing it. Now we have what we all hope and pray and seems to be a franchise qb so people get excited. I am excited but still skeptical. This is a young team who still has learning to do, and I doubt all of our games will be played as well as we plate the Saints.

We will see, but like others have said lets bet St. Louis. Have fun up there skinsfaninok!

Kinda vague on that since there were many stupid plays ran in the red zone under Zorn. My favorite one was when he tried to run a stretch play with Clinton Portis that got stuffed. I think that was when he went to the sideline and told Zorn to bench Mike Sellers. :doh:

Can't believe this is even a topic for discussion.

Re: Can The Redskins go undefeated in the NFC East?
 

Not as bad as the offseason threads, but still.

Re: Can The Redskins go undefeated in the NFC East?
 

Let's take a long look at the other teams;

1) The Giants: can they really believe how lucky they were last year winning the Super Bowl when they expended so little effort in the regular season with the added humiliation of losing to the Redskins twice? Is it really possible that they are not sitting around this year saying to themselves "Hey, we don't really have to crank it up before the playoffs"? No matter what Coughlin preaches, there has to be that slight smirk on the players faces that promises to win it all in the end in spite of marginal play early on.

2) The Eagles: With the personal off-the-field problems that Reid has dealt with and added to that an old, slow, confused quarterback who talks a lot and says nothing that anybody comprehends I would not be surprised if Lurie sacks Andy before he can quit. Then the whole place gets a new broom and new faces. A long road that.

3) Cowboys: Jerry keeps dusting the cabinet for a clean place to put his next Lombardi. He has invested lots of cash into a stadium to put the cabinet in and staked his personal player selection reputation on what Dez does and it is not a pretty scenario. Jones is building a monument to himself without spending enough time to assure fans of a wining team before the "Romo Window closes". Was it ever open except in Jerry's mind?

4) Redskins: Supremely competent General Manager, messianic dedicated and driven coaching staff, decision making oriented towards team improvement, excellent risk/reward management and wildly supportive fans. Plan is in place now execute consistently and victory will be ours.

Ponder this.

I think you need to listen to the elder Shanahan cause you're getting carried away.
