Vote: What do you expect from the Redskins?

Hog1 · 07-23-2007, 10:18 AM

After reviewing the results, it's obvious a bunch of homers like myself jumped on that!

I agree with the results the poll is showing thus far... But, I guess I am alwasy optimistic this time of year.

Without many major injuries... (you can always count on a 1 if not a couple big injuries/year in the NFL these days) I see us winning 9 games this year. Division games will be so crucial - We have to be above .500 there if we want to take the NFC East once again. It has been awhile... and I'm personally sick of the E-girls... They aren't as good as we've made them look the past few years... They just play consistent, fight to the end and don't make many mistakes... Time to end their run on the division.

sounds like homer city. but i do like the skins chances this season

MTK · 07-23-2007, 12:25 PM

Actually, if you look at some other teams poll results I don't think this is a homer poll at all. 9-10 wins is not that outrageous to expect. And once you count in a margin of error it's pretty split as to the playoff expectations.

All depends on JC and the WRs improving immensly. If they pretty much repeat last years performance 7-8 wins will probably be it.

I gotta agree. The difference between a 6-10 and 10-6 team is so insiginificant nowadyas. Health and a little luck and we are 10-6 maybe 11-5. Injuries could quickly turn that into 5-11 or 6-10. The middle of the road in the NFL is gigantically wide and contains probably 15-18 teams.

MTK · 07-23-2007, 01:55 PM

Every year some team will come out of nowhere and surprise people. That's mostly due to the fact there's not a huge difference between most 6-10 and 10-6 teams.

Bushead · 07-23-2007, 03:03 PM

Did you notice that they said that T.J. Duckett was a huge loss? Along with Kenny Wright?

Monksdown · 07-23-2007, 03:07 PM

We havent loss much outside of Dockery. Everyone else was either a last minute filler(Wright), or an insurance policy we didnt need(duckett).

Maybe with Duckett, they're referring to the loss of a third round pick for absolutely nothing in return. That's a loss.

heels2skins · 07-23-2007, 04:49 PM

Redskins are set for a great season if there are no major injuries to key players like last season.

NM Redskin · 07-23-2007, 07:26 PM

I disagree with the poll on question 2, Clinton has to have a good year. We are a run first team, no?

We ran the ball pretty well last year and it didn't get us very far.

Campbell needs to be able to take the pressure off the running game and keep teams from loading the box. Plus he needs to be able to hit the big play.

Its a domino affect. If the running game is moving then that should open up the playaction and the passing game. The reason why the answer is JC is because just look at the end of last season Betts had great games but the wins didnt show it. (of course the Defense sucked but still) Clinton could only do sooo much. When its 2minutes left the ball will be in Jason's hands and that is really when most games are decided. Not too many blowouts on our schedule. In the last game of the season against the Giants JC had a chance but couldn't finish the deal. Hopefully this season he takes that jump.
