Re: Washington Redskins 2009 Schedule

ESPN and NFLN sure took schedule hype to all time levels tonight huh? Both ran 2 hour specials. Even I was bored to death with schedule analysis, good thing Deadliest Catch is back on.

And NFLN barely talked about us. They treated us like the weak sisters of the NFC Beast.

Re: Washington Redskins 2009 Schedule

A few thoughts about the schedule:
The best possible record we can get on this schedule is 13-3

The worst record we can have not including major injuries is 5-11
So the probable record will probably be 9-7
I really don't see anyway we beat San diego in San diego unless they've already secured a playoff spot and rest their guys, and wherever merriman is rushing, portis better be on that side

Too many prime time games

There really isn't a team that we can say right now is gonna be a diffienite win (last year we beat the lions by 8 and they of course went winless, plus they can be good next year with them reloading they're whole team
We play the three teams that have the first three picks overall in the draft
Are last three games are the hardest
Why do we open the season up again at the giants?? And we'll find out how food our first rounder will be when they go up against the OL or DL of the giants, or the RBs (if we get an LB)

Well, until we can consistently finish higher than last in the division...they are right.

I watched the first 20 minutes or so of ESPN's special before I had to look away. I can only take so much of Trey Wingo. Dilfer is great, but Wingo more than cancels him out. If I had a dollar for every time he said "there's no question..."

I mean seriously, I know the NFL is popular, but concurrent 2 hour specials on 2 networks just for the schedule??? How long does it take to explain that the NFL (and ESPN) slurps the hell out of the Cowboys and that divisional games are important?

They were bored at the NFL. They just looked at us and said whatever. Here's last year's schedule, just pencil in the divisions the NFC East plays this year. Bad-a-Bing, Bod-a-Bow, here's your schedule now.

Same opener, another mid season bye, same back to back road games with Filthy and Dall ass, just a little tweak here and there.

Bring it on! I can't wait. I don't know about y'all but I want to see Oak, Tampa, and Kansas go down, payback!

I'll be back after the draft.

Peace!

Re: Washington Redskins 2009 Schedule

BTW We play in Carolina the week after their bye week. Might be a tough one.

I know it's always tough to play our road division games, but @Carolina right after their bye and then @SD for the last game of the year are going to be really difficult games. What if we need a win to get in going into week 17? That's a realistic scenario. I think SD will be every bit a Super Bowl contender this year.

Carolina doesn't scare me as much as N.O at home or ATL, I think Carolina will be an average team this season. The ONLY games that we should be guaranteed to win is DET, and maybe STL... But we did lose to the Rams AT home last year.

Re: Washington Redskins 2009 Schedule

The schedule has a boom or bust feel to me. If we don't do something moronic in the draft (Sanchez) then I think our fate will be clear by October. We should be able to be no worse than 5-2 at the bye but how we get there is more key than our record.

If we're scuffling to get by, barely winning games like last year then we're maybe looking at going 1-8 down the stretch and ending up at 6-10. However, if we are clicking and playing at a high level in the 1st half, I can see this team rounding into shape and getting on a roll behind Campbell, Thomas, Hall and (projection) Maualuga and challenging for the division.

There are so many key people with so much on the line (Zorn, Cerrato, Campbell, Rogers, Fletcher) that the team could really have a us against the world mentality and it all comes together or at the first crack of adversity the whole thing could implode.

Re: Washington Redskins 2009 Schedule

I agree with MR pain on this. First glance I was thinking no playoffs this season and Zorn and JC both deserve to get the boot, then upon a second and third look it might not be such a nice ride. Detroit, St. Louis, Oakland and KC to me should be the "gimmes" of the schedule. Denver is a toss up. OKie might be right about Carolina, but they still are going to be a tough team to beat. Thing with me is the NFC South. I am not all sold on how everyone says how tough it is going to be this season. Every team in the division is beatable, even Atlanta IMHO, but then again what do I know. That night game against the Eagles is going to be HUGE!!!!!! I hope we can actually post a winning divisional record this year!!!! Why couldn't we have started out with SD? Now, if we are on the bubble for the last wildcard spot a late loss to the Chargers will cost us heavily.

Re: Washington Redskins 2009 Schedule

I think this is a very tough schedule. If any young talent excels against our preseason opponents, they must be solid. If anything is to come out of this year, I hope it is some sort of consistency from the offense. Hopefully the second year in the same offense will allow for confidence to be a strength for Jason, not a weakness.
It's interesting that 6 of the teams we face this year have new head coaches (if you don't include last years temporary assignments). Even though many of those teams had down years, I just don't like facing opponents with new blood at the top. It's just so difficult to know what to expect from them, nevermind us!

Re: Washington Redskins 2009 Schedule

If the season started today, we're a 9, maybe a 10 win team. Keep in mind though that, outside of Philly, we have the best chance to land an impact player out of any teams in the division, via the draft. The way I see it, we're already ahead of the Giants and the Cowboys right now on paper, but still trail the Eagles pending the offseason. If we get an impact player in the draft (and if they don't), that could change overnight.

If we trade up for Mark Sanchez instead, then we probably fall to third or fourth. That simply doesn't seem like a realistic option at this point though.
