4th Quarter Season predictions

[Paintrain]

Really simple, all you doom and gloom folks (and us stubborn realists) put it out there for everyone to see. What's your prediction for the last 4 games?

4-0
3-1
2-2
1-3
0-4

(Mods, poll please)

I'm on record for 3-1.

2-2. I think we lose to Baltimore and Philly.

I'm typically ultra-optimistic but I just don't see it now.

I'll go 2-2 as well, heres hoping its better.... I just dont think this team has a run in them like they did in 05' and 07....but I was pretty pesamistic those years two, so who knows...I thinks we beat Cinci/SF, lose to Bal/Philly and miss the playoffs. Huge dissapointement...I'm praying I'm wrong. If we can find a way to beat Baltimore, I'll really start to turn the corner and be optomistic, but I just dont know how....I guess the only thing I'll hang my hat on is...we haven't lost on the road since opening Thursday night, and although I think we played poorly against Detroit & Seattle, we still have looked better than at home.....

I guess I really wouldnt be shocked with any of those four records. I could see us beating Baltimore this weekend, but I also could have seen us beating NYG last weekend, and that argument of a "feeling" only holds water for so long.

Overall, 2-2, 9-7 is my prediction. Hoping I'm wrong, assuming I'll be right.

It seems like teams have figured out how to bring pressure and we just can't figure it out.

And that's the big question. Can we figure it out? That will make the difference between 1-3 and 3-1. It just seems that, at some point, Zorn & Co. will find a way to make teams pay for stacking the box.

All this being said, finishing 2-2 will leave us at 9-7, which is a terrible dissapointment after the 6-2 start. But optimistically, 9-7 will mean the Skins will have back to back winning seasons for the first time since 1997, and the first time they've won at least 9 games in back to back years since 1992.

So at least there's that.

I predict 2-2.

Our O-line can figure it out, the problem is we do not have the personnel on our o-line that has the physical ability to stop it. Same on the defensive line.

1-3, only win against Cincy and it is a close game. At the start of the season most of us predict 9-7 or 8-8 looks like that is how we will fall. Another hum drum season comes to an end. So sad.

[Redskin Warrior]

The last two years we squeezed out 4 in a row hell why not now!!! 4-0

I believe if your prediction here is correct, we will get the sixth seed. Maybe Atlanta will get to 11-5, but if so, I feel it will be at the expense of one of the other NFC South teams.

Dallas controls their own destiny, but I don't think they are as good as any of the teams they play in the final four games. I think even if they can beat the Steelers this week, they will be lucky to go 2-2 in December. I think we could finish 2nd in the East if we can beat Philly.

2-2. I think we lose to Baltimore and Philly, a close win over CIN, but we blow SF out of the water on the road, giving us optimism for the future.

I agree with this, I think teams that can effectively blitz are going to make this team look bad until the o line figures out how to protect Jason Campbell. It's amazing to me that no replacements have been made, but I have confidence in Jim Zorn and trust his judgment (even if I disagree).

Anyway, I think the Ravens have a good chance of absolutely destroying the Skins and Philly may win by a margin of 10 or more, but I think a 10 point win over the 9ers and a 20 point win over the Bengals will lead to a 9-7 record.

If you had told me Zorn would lead this team to 9-7 at the beginning of the year, I would have been pleased. Nothing will change once I get over the fact that the strong start was wasted.

I thought we would go 3-3 the last 6 games and sticking to that. Think we lose to Balt and Philly still.

Just the other day there was a thread with people ragging on the Eagles falling apart and today people have then winning our game against them.

yeah, that's because Philly can be truly a great team that posts 48 points or a really shitty team that scores like the Redskins and plays flat depending on what headcase-trainwreck Dono does on any given Sunday. he seems to have gotten his head back so... w/ good Dono Philly is a better team than we are. Bad Dono, Philly is one of the worst teams in foosball...

it's science.
