Redskins 2012 Standings - Predictions
 

knowing our opponents, before the schedule is released, make a prediction and shed your light upon it.

Re: Redskins 2012 Standings - Predictions
 

6-10 where we stand right now
that is without fletcher. i think griffin will have a slow start. i think our secondary needs work. i like our chances against these 5 teams, and i expect to at least split divisional games
Carolina Panthers
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Cleveland Browns
Minnesota Vikings
St. Louis Rams

*edit
i think we will finish last in the division

Re: Redskins 2012 Standings - Predictions
 

Well seeing as though the offense will be much improved, then the average of 18 points a game from a year ago will be improved to. With the addition of RG3 or Andrew Luck, I can see this team putting up points. Roy Helu and Evan Royster can grind out yardage to compliment the offense. The defense will only get better. With or without London Fletcher, the Redskins defense will be capable of being not only a top ten defense, but in the third year of Haslett's 3-4 defense, they may be capable of limiting opponents to anywhere from 13-15 points per game.

I'm going to make a very bold prediction. I like our entire team, including special teams. This team has the potential to be just as good if not slightly worse than the 1983 and 1991 Washington Redskins. Graham Gano will make the pro bowl also.

At the end of the regular season, the Washington Redskins will have a win/loss record of 13-3.

Re: Redskins 2012 Standings - Predictions
 

I'll wait until after the draft when we have a set idea of what our roster will look like before I make predictions. I do think we should bring back the bold predictions thread this year though, even though half the predictions in there weren't bold lol.

Re: Redskins 2012 Standings - Predictions
 

If Griffin even HALFWAY works out, I think that's good for another 2-4 wins. I'm still thinking maybe 7-9 or 8-8. This year if we actually have some luck on our side (where another rookie doesn't go off or we have a fluke fumble bounce into the opponent's hands) I think we even have a shot at 10-6.

Remember, a lot of the games we lost were by truly stupid dumb luck. A stat I've quoted a couple of times is the amount of fumbles we actually recovered... we were history the worst of all time (since it started being recorded). Most teams hover around 50%, we were something like 20%. That's just terrible luck.

Terrible luck, or just old slow mediocre backups trying to recover the fumbles? I think maybe a combination of both.

Personally, I think it's still a bit too early for predictions. But whatever.

Still...how is this different from this thread?

:lol::Smoker::yeahright

Re: Redskins 2012 Standings - Predictions
 

I think this is a 6-8 win team. We still need to acquire depth and let a [B]rookie[/B] QB get assimilated into the system along with his new targets. The following year, we can be much improved. I see our defense actually gettings worse while our offense gets a bit better.

I hope I'm wrong, and if things fall into place (Garcon [or Hank] is a real #1,RG3 comes along quicker than anticipated, defense gets better at hitting the QB, etc, then I could see us being very difficult to beat, but we're not there yet.

Re: Redskins 2012 Standings - Predictions
 

This is fun 8-8 this is my pre-draft prediction. I wonder what I'll put after the DRAFT.

Re: Redskins 2012 Standings - Predictions
 

draft hasnt happened yet and we are predicting the record and judging how the skins did in the offseason when we are in the middle of it?

Re: Redskins 2012 Standings - Predictions
 

Rookie QB, new wr's, questionable o-line, weak secondary, tough division....this is still a 5-6 win team. I don't expect to see improvement until 2013.

Re: Redskins 2012 Standings - Predictions
 

14-2... Steamrollin' right to the SB

Hey why not, it's only April. Think big.

Re: Redskins 2012 Standings - Predictions
 

24-0. We're sweeping the pre season too. And then our whole team is going to represent the NFC in the Pro Bowl and win that too

I loved that in Madden. I used to send like 23-25 players to the Pro Bowl every year. When all the starters came out, every player had a Redskin helmet on. This was before they switched to a generic NFC/AFC helmet for the PB in Madden. It was a beautiful thing lol.

Re: Redskins 2012 Standings - Predictions
 

God, you all are such a pessimistic bunch!

It's now or never for Shanahan/Shanahan/Haslett. I think 8-8 would be the expectation, but I wouldn't be stunned if they went 11-5. If the issues in the coaching staff are fixed, anything is possible. The schedule doesn't make it easy to get to the playoffs, but I think that this team is really live in the NFC East because as tough as it is going to be for the Redskins to win 9+ games against a tough schedule, it's going to be even harder for the rest of the division to get to 10+.

The future is now.

Re: Redskins 2012 Standings - Predictions
 

Way too soon to make any sort of predictions. Still have a ton of FA to go with the June 1st cuts coming and then we have the NFL draft at the end of this month. Lot's can change and probably will.

Re: Redskins 2012 Standings - Predictions
 

I have had no real expecations ever since the disastrous 2006 season. But truly I have not even half thought about it since about 2007 when Todd Collins took us to the playoffs. Last year I believed Rex Grossman could win 9 or 10 games.

I believe with a rookie QB, we are probably a 5 or 6 win team. BEST CASE SCENARIO would be 8 wins and maybe sneaking into the playoffs. We are still a little ways away from having a year in year out competitive team, but they are heading in the right direction with RGIII and let's see how things shake out after the draft. We aren't going to do jack diddly without a good O-Line...

Re: Redskins 2012 Standings - Predictions
 

8-8

Unless RGIII can take to the offense, REAL fast, I think it's gonna take another year to work out the kinks.

9-7 with a wildcard. I truly believe Griff has a impact like vick did early

10-6. We will be pleasantly surprised.

Re: Redskins 2012 Standings - Predictions
 

I dream of the year the Redskins win a Super Bowl. Hopefully it'll be before I die. :/ Are we getting close to being a playoff contender yet?

Re: Redskins 2012 Standings - Predictions
 

5-5-6. Call it McNabb's revenge. The new overtime rules will be too confusing and we will refuse to kick any overtime field goals but our defense will be good enough to keep our opponents away from field goal range. We miss the playoffs, of course, by virtue of a tiebreaker.

That's what happens when you ask for predictions in April.

Damn your my age or around it so I hope it's before we die! Shit I want one in this decade

This team was a playoff contender last year. We simply didn't have enough depth to weather the injury storm though. It showed.

Well we played a soft 4 games but we did sweep the giants!

Re: Redskins 2012 Standings - Predictions
 

I think we should almost ban these predicition threads. I mean they are fun as hell, but we really haven't a team formed yet, well the 2012 version anyway. I mean the Skins FO could pull a fast one on everyone and use the #2 on an OL or a WR and freak people out. I don't think that will be the case, but who knows. We also don't know if London is coming back at a lower pay rate, etc or do we draft a new MLB in the mid rounds to try and replace him? Just too many variables at this point, and not just with the Skins. What FA moves are to come for our intradivisional rivals? Who will they draft? Who will they lose to FA? Etc. Some of these questions have been answered with FA, but not all, and the draft is coming up, so more answers will be forthcoming soon, but right now trying to predict anything is pointless.

Re: Redskins 2012 Standings - Predictions
 

We still have depth issues and will for the next two years at least. We can be a contender if RGIII really pans out and any new O linemen pan out as well. We really need to draft some real winners at O line in the next two drafts. Our current batch of starters minus Trent, are not the greatest bunch.

The Redskins were a legitimate quarterback away from a winning season last year. The inconsistency at QB was the biggest reason why the team finished 5-11 last year. With an upgrade at quarterback to go along with the weapons on offense, and solid play from the defense, there's no reason to doubt the Redskins having a spectacular season.

You right but RG3 is still a rookie. We dont know for sure how he will pan out. Rookies always have their struggles. But who knows maybe he'll jump on the scene and have a hell of a rookie season. I wouldnt mind havin a 13-3 year tho haha

Ben Rothesburger was a rookie in 2004 and the Steelers went 15-1 that year. They had a great defense and a powerful running game in Big Ben's rookie campaign. As a Redskins fan, I'm expecting a ton from RG3. If he plays his game the way he's capable of playing I doubt if the Redskins will have a losing season. Maybe 8-8 at worst, but at best 13-3. Cam Newton went to the pro bowl last year and Carolina was in the top ten in offense in the NFL. But their defense was bad and finished finished 28th in the NFL and that contributed mostly to their losing season.

RG3 will have a lot of weight on his shoulders. They'll be a lot of high expectations of him in Washington. But the Redskins can be a winner if the quarterback play is above average to go along with an already very good defense.

Re: Redskins 2012 Standings - Predictions
 

I say 7-9 with a lot of ups and downs.

I wonder if Rex or RG3/Luck is day one starter?
