Hail to the Redskins · 07-27-2005, 10:51 AM

I've got 3 words for everyone... even "Riggo" ..... SAN DIEGO CHARGERS!

Hello.... do all of the reasons the Redskins 2005 are going to finish last sound eerily similar to the reasons EVERYONE picked the Chargers of 2004 to be in last ... or is it just me??

A) Rookie QB supposedly coming in for a 3 year vet who has been "under-acheiving" and causing a "QB Controversey" (Rivers-Brees; Campbell-Ramsey)

B) Top 5 Running Back in the backfield (Tomlinson; Portis)

C) A bunch of small, no-name (or old) receivers (Keenan McCardell? Reche Caldwell?; David Patten? James Thrash?)

D) A top 10 ranked defense

E) Ok so Antonio Gates came out of nowhere, but Chris Cooley could very well have a somewhat similar season himself here in DC! (or even Darnarien McCants if they'd bulk him up and make him a TE! He was a basketball player in college! lol)

Think about it... Did anyone at all picke the Chargers to win even 9 or 10 games? No. Did anyone at all pick the Panthers to challenge for the Super Bowl 2 years ago? No.

Hardly EVER are preseason predictions right... so I say ... that's a GOOD thing to be picked last...

Shottenheimer is a good coach... but is he better than Gibbs? I definitely think that if Marty can figure it out with the "SuperChargers" .... then Gibbs definitely can figure it out here...

HAIL TO THE REDSKINS!
