Then there are a few games that could go either way, against St. Louis and Denver. I don't plan on beating Kansas City, Oakland and San Diego.

It just depends on how the matchups end up to me. I wouldn't be suprised with a 10-6 season, but I also wouldn't be suprised at 8-8 either. I think though that we have the potential to be the next Chargers with Cooley, Portis and the smurfs.

I am not saying you said this Kingerock,but how many people thought that we were going to be 10-6 last year?? As of right now, to say that we are going to be much better than 8-8 is nuts and I agree with you, I wouldn't be surprised if we ended up there. The reason is, this year is going to be a crap shoot, we have to many unproven components. The Skins biggest opponent this year is the Skins.

• Moss, Patten, Jacobs? They are unproven.
• I love Patrick, I really do, but he is unproven. Remeber he is our leader.
• Our Defense, as good as we were last year, and as underated as we are, we are unproven, reason being you can't call a defensive unit great after one year, take a look at dallas.
• Gibbs, who I worship, unfortuanately, so far, is unproven in this second tour of duty.
• Are fans are great BUT we have ZERO home field advantage
• We have the second best team in the NFL in our division.
• Nobody knows if the changes in run blocking schemes will work

Way to many questions to say we are going to be better than 8-8. I hate to say it, but our team as a whole is a giant question mark.
