Vegas over/under for Skins wins in "05"

[56FAN]

i think we could realistically go 7-9 to 10-6 , if we learn how to close out games and we can more than 17 points a game.as far as the bears go, i am not scared of them.especially offensivley. defense their secondary doesn't even register.but i like their coach.

Teams I think we will beat:

Bears
Cowboys once
Seahawks
Broncos
49ers
Giants twice
Eagles once
Buccaneers
Raiders
Cardinals

So I'd say we have a real shot at going 11-5 if we beat the teams we SHOULD beat.

This is optomistic to say the least. After the last few years I would do cartwheels for splits with the birds and boys. As for the topic of this thread...I would think the Skins will go at least 8-8 this year.

[TheMalcolmConnection]

Me too, but I just have a feeling about it. It's been WAAAAAAAAAY too long.

We're due.

[PSUSkinsFan21]

We're splitting with the Birds..........I guarantee it.

Broncos, Raiders and Seahawks will be tough. If we can get 2 of those 3, I'd be really happy. Overall I'm pretty much with you though MC. I'm thinking 9-7 isn't a stretch, and I'll hope for 10-6.

Its so hard to say. This is a team I could see do really bad or be supringly awsome. I really dont know how much of a factor the continuity and same system is going to be. I'm actually glad were not supposed to be a Super Bowl championship team because of a crazy offseason, I think we can suprise some people. Of course I'll take the over on that bet, because I'm a skins fan. Really hard to tell. We WILL beat the Bears though.

Believe it or not. I expect us to be around 8-8. Could be 7-9. could be up to 10-6.

WOW Dasael you sound surprisingly optimistic That's an encouragement right there....

I think this will be the year we finally get ONE win against Dallas......
there are some aging players on Dallas's O line, and a free agent coming off back surgery. Bledsoe panics when pressured, Parcells will have a lot of rookies playing defense, and it will be an adjustment if they go to a 3-4.
A win against Dallas would be the eqiuvalent of a successful season


As for the rest ..........I think 8-8, at my most optimistic a 9-7, I don't see us splitting with the Eagles..........of course, I am really anxious to see what our offense does this season, see how our line improves with Jansen and the addition of Rabach, how the smurf receivers perform, if Jacobs steps it up, if we can get Portis going in the running game, how Ramsey performs.......if we can get a healthy Daniels, and Lavar, and Williams can find an adequate replacement for Pierce, Rogers is the real deal.....awwwwwww......dreams at this point.....really early....but what else do we got to do this time of the year..

If our Offense is half way good and can score on aveerage 18-23 points we should not worry much. We know our D will be top 5 with out any problem. Hopefully Coach Gibbs will learn better clock management and learn from his mistakes last year.

[RedskinsJunkie]

We are going to be great or crappy... Just depends on the way Ramsey plays this year. Our D will be huge and I think that incorporating the shot gun and stretch running plays will help. We will beat the Cowgirls twice this year. We should have split with the Eagles last year so I think that is a definite posibility. We certainly should be in a good position this year to win a few games. I am thinking 10-6 with a good possibility of better. Obviously depends on the health of our O line and Ramsey not making the really bad decisions down the stretch of a close game.
