Will you be happy if we go 4-2 in the first 6 games?

hurrykaine · 10-16-2005, 04:38 PM

Obviously it blows that we lost an immensely winnable game, but we have a great shot of beating San Fran (unless their rookie QB lights us up) and going 4-2 to start the season.

I for one would be thrilled - I sure as hell did not think they would be 4-2 when the season began (esp with Ramsey stinking it up in pre-season, and the offensive performance in the first game against Chicago).

4-2 is a good point to make a run for the next part of the season. We will likely lose to the other AFC west teams, but will sweep the NFC west. We just have to focus on beating the Bucs and splitting with the G-men and Eagles. If we can beat the cowboys again, that's 10 games and likely a playoff birth.

If you told me that we'd be 4-2 before the season began I'd be happy. These two losses have REALLY hurt me. While I'll still be happy with the overall record we could be so much better (or for that case we could be 2-4 after that game.

san francisco has a bye this week... great... another team that has extra time to prepare for us...

we will lose to the niners 31-17.

LOL, that would be my lowest point as a redskins fan, if that happened at Fedex. San Fran has lit some teams up this season, btw, so they can certainly score. I think our D will get the job done.

skinsguy · 10-16-2005, 04:43 PM

At this point, I hope we can go 4-2 after next week. However, I had us being 5-1 after the San Fran game (not trying to look ahead, but just for predication sake.) Them felt if we're only able to muster 5 wins the rest of the year, we'd come out at 10-6. IF we go 4-2, we're going to have to have at least one upset!

Bozzy · 10-16-2005, 04:46 PM

we will underestimate the niners.

nope - that's the best part about this loss, after losing the way we did today, no way we underestimate them. The team will be prepared for a must win game.

Idk, this 49ers game reminds me of the Cleveland game last year. A game I was 100% positive we'd win, but this week we just need to be prepared. I still think we'll win.

I agree with what Daseal said too.

You can't have watched them play this season. No way we lose AT HOME to the Niners.

This game should see the D get all the turnovers they can eat.

hurrykaine · 10-16-2005, 04:47 PM

my previous low was when we lost to cleveland last year

skinsguy · 10-16-2005, 04:48 PM

I don't think we'll underestimate the 49ers, but if we don't beat them next week, we could be in trouble.

Sheriff Gonna Getcha · 10-16-2005, 04:49 PM

I will be very happy with a 4-2 record.

saskin · 10-16-2005, 07:55 PM

I'd be happy if we go 4-2, of course it could be better....it could also be far worse, I'm just grateful we have the record we have. First three games could've gone either way....thankfully went our way.

CrazyCanuck · 10-17-2005, 01:57 PM

I'm happy with 3-2, given the way the team has been playing, and 4-2 would be even better!

I figure we need 10 wins to really have a strong shot at the playoffs. Here's what I'm hoping for from our remaining games:

1. SF - MUST WIN if we want to be taken seriously as a playoff team. 1-0

2. SD and Oak at home - These are tough games but we are at home and must take one of them at least. 1-1

3. 5 division games - I think we gotta go at least 3-2 here. Split the Ebills and the Giants, and complete the Dallas sweep at home. 3-2

4. Other 3 games (Stl, Ari, TB) - 3 road games here. Need 2 of these 3. 2-1

According to this plan, the Skins would finish 10-6, 4-2 in the division. Should be good enough for a playoff spot.

What do u guys think? Is it feasible?

Bozzy · 10-16-2005, 04:49 PM

I'd be happier being 5-1 and not underneath the cowboys.
