Hail to the Redskins · 09-02-2018, 09:20 AM

I find it hard to find many wins at all after week 2... and honestly, can't see even 8 wins unless the 'Skins start 2-0.

This schedule is DAUNTING to put it lightly. After Week 2 it's...

Packers
Saints
Panthers
Cowboys
Giants
Falcons
Bucs
Texans
Cowboys
Eagles
Giants
Jaguars
Titans
Eagles

I mean, from that, best chances for wins are what,? Giants, Bucs, Titans, Cowboys? Sure, maybe we'll beat a Falcons or Panthers team... but I don't know if I'd say I'd put the odds in any of those other games at over 50% chance... especially after watching the preseason games. And yes, I know they were preseason games, but I didn't see some dominating D-Line (especially against the Broncos with everyone's starters in) that suddenly is going to shut down opponents' run games.

Also see Doctson as a MAJOR bust (great to be big, but a WR has to get SOME separation at some point) and accounting for the annual injuries and lack of depth on the O-Line... I mean, I hope it all clicks and I'd love to sip a little Kool-Aid... but...

This year will definitely be about being healthier, but even with health... this schedule of opponents is the biggest obstacle.
