Redskins Scoring in 2005
 

Opinions may change as the preseason progresses but for now how many points a game do you think the Skins will average during the regular season?

Re: Redskins Scoring in 2005
 

i wanted to vote for 21-25 but i accidentally clicked on 16-20. my mistake.

Re: Redskins Scoring in 2005
 

I am going with 21-25 not because of the so-called improved offense, but because of an improved special teams. I think our field position will be much more improved this year enabling us to get the ball, if not in the endzone, then through the uprights....
I also think we'll see a few more kickoffs and punts returned this year...Just seven more points a game will do fine provided that our defense produce the same stats as last year...and i think they will under GW.

I went 16-20. Despite the apparent change to a more explosive offense, I think the "run-first" mentality will, and should, remain. The faster receivers will allow for wider running lanes, and the defense will keep us in most games. Look for about 19 ppg.

Re: Redskins Scoring in 2005
 

I think 21-25 is a pretty realistic expectation.

If the offense does average between 21 and 25 and the defense holds their own, this should be a 10 win team.

I think if you add luck to that equation it is a definite 10 win team. It seemed like we had more luck going for us last year thatn in previus seasons but we couldn't captialize on it. Here's to hoping we have more of the same but better capitalization.

Re: Redskins Scoring in 2005
 

if we can't score 21, we're out of the playoffs...

Re: Redskins Scoring in 2005
 

Defense and Special Teams will either score us or get us in position to score at least 14 points per game. I think the offense can handle another 11 per game. I voted for 25+.

Re: Redskins Scoring in 2005
 

I'm going with 21-25. I wouldnt be suprised if its a tad lower than that, though. I'm expecting some improvements this year for sure, but I dont think they will be absoultley over the top improvments. I think we can be a touchdown better, at least. We averaged like 15 pts a game last year, so I think 22 is a reasonable goal.

Well we'll cancel each other out because i voted 21-25 and now that I think about it I think we're gonna average 18 pts a game, which isn't bad... just if we have a rough start its gonna drop the average.

Re: Redskins Scoring in 2005
 

16-20 but could slip down a braket. I think by week two we'll have a much better idea what this offense is WILLING to do.

It seems like the only luck we had last year was bad luck. Remember the Green Bay game? Remember NUMEROUS bad calls/HUGE bad plays.

Re: Redskins Scoring in 2005
 

With a much more efficient offense and a killer D we'll be up in the TD per QTR category, I think we are about ready to go point scoring crazy.

Re: Redskins Scoring in 2005
 

21-25, based on the improved blocking schemes for Portis...and we drafted 2 wrecking balls for goal line situations.

Re: Redskins Scoring in 2005
 

I voted 21-25 cuz of not only the adjustments and additions(some by subtraction) to the offense, but also the explosiveness of the return game and the fact that the defense is entering its second year of Williams' leadership and should be able to have a better idea of how and when to exploit the weaknesses of an opposing offense.

Re: Redskins Scoring in 2005
 

skinsfanthru&thru: That's one thing many fans, including myself, forget very often. Field position alone can really help you put points up quick. I'm still skeptical until I see it. At least the day I was at camp the ball was bouncing off the receivers hands and falling. The only players consistantly catching it were Cooley, Royal and McCants. Moss looked exceptionally bad. I think our running game will be strong but question if we can get 8 out of the box.

Living up to your signature, eh Daseal? ;)

Did you go to that practice right after the Ravens scrimmage? I heard the D dominated that and Ramsey looked shakey. But the last open practice, things seemed much better--Ramsey was on, BLitzes were picked up, etc. And Portis was looking great. I think we'll be over 20 this year--but maybe it's just my unrelenting optimism talking!

Re: Redskins Scoring in 2005
 

nothing as of now to show tell me we are gonna be better than last year at passing. I will hold my judgement till a later time. hindsight is 20/20 you know

i just need to see tommorrow because i am still down about the scrimmage as sad as that might sound. I just won't be happy till i see protection because that is the most important thing next year.

Our return game is making me happy though and Brown is a Hall type player in my eyes, i just hope he proves me right. Nice field position means lots of points and lots of games won. IT might even be possible to say that we would not have won the minni game w/o our return game with brown and thrash. Can't wait, first 30 minutes will tell us so much about our team

Re: Redskins Scoring in 2005
 

I said 21-25. The offense will be better in Gibbs' second year, plus I think the D will step up in year two of Williams' system and cause more turnovers, and even score a few more times themselves....even if they aren't "rated" quite as high.

Re: Redskins Scoring in 2005
 

16-20 points and that's stretching it a bit. Still no deep passing threat if the QB cannot connect with the WR, which makes the running game that more difficult to achieve.
