DC Pro Sports Report & Warpath NFC East Picks (Week One)

http://dcprosportsreport.com/2009/09/dc-pro-sports-report-nfc-east-picks-week-one.html

Each Friday, given we have the time, we plan to predict the Redskins game and the other NFC East team games, right here at DCPSR. Probably be eating a ton of crow come Mondays, but hey, that's what were here for. Included here are prediction from myself owner of DCPSR, Spence, my partner owner, Matt Kyer, the Admin at our forum partner, theWarpath.net, and SmootSmack, a moderator at theWarpath.net

Matt was a bit late, but that is cool, he will jump right in next week.

Every one of you guys picked the Panthers? Interesting. I hope that you are correct.

Let's go Tampa and pull a surprise!

what amazes me is the national media just gives us near zero chance.

Tonight on NFL Network Tom Waddle said he could not understand why we would spend so much money on someone like AH "just to finish in last place." Then he was completely dismissive of our chances to beat the Giants.

Constructive criticism is fine but he came off as a true hater.

Ehhhhh, Ive learned to just ignore most of the national media, as noone gives the skins any credit anyways.

The answer to the "no respect" thing...WIN. And not these games against the cheifs, raiders, rams(which we couldn't do last year) but meaningful games when it counts. Make playoffs every year, win a game or two, make some conference championship games, then we will get the respect you all think we deserve. Just because our owner is the master of hype and offseason expectations, doesn't automatically put us in the league of the Patriots, Eagles, Colts..ect.

This crap of the media hating on the Skins is getting old folks. Stand back, look at it from a "knowledgeable" football fan, not the die hard Redskins fan we all are.

I still don't understand why people think this. Dockery is younger than what we would have had with Kendall. That's about it. He represents a slight upgrade at best. And Stephon Heyer? How exactly is he "better" ?? What do you base that on? He was a nice find as an undrafted free agent, and he's a serviceable guy. But I've seen nothing to indicate these two guys make the offensive line significantly better than it was last year. It is by far our biggest question mark, and it has been ignored in the top rounds of the draft for years.

Not a homer pick, but a "gut check pick" ?? Uh-huh.

About 85% of nationally syndicated columnists think the Giants will win.

Contrast that with vegas: no one is going to give you 6:1 odds on the Redskins to win this game straight up. But if public opinion is any measuring stick, that's what the game odds would be.

on NFL playbook Theismann picked us, and was roundly laughed at as a homer - which he is, but the other 2 said not close the NYG.

did you read this link, across the mediots, the only maybe 2-3 of the "experts" picked us. Not saying everyone should have, but the teams are closer than that.

"It's time to move the offense into Jason Campbells hands."

Yes it is!
