Prediction time! the Pre PreSeason Prediction thread

It's Football time. HOF game is this weekend. I am fairly bullish again this year. I think last year was a fluke based on Griffin's injury early, then Shanahan just lost the team somehow. I am extremely excited to see Gruden as a head coach, I just think he "gets" it. So here is my prediction:

W Week 1 Sun. Sep. 7 @ Houston Texans
W Week 2 Sun. Sep. 14 vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
L Week 3 Sun. Sep. 21 @ Philadelphia Eagles
W Week 4 Thu. Sep. 25 vs. New York Giants 8:25 PM
W Week 5 Mon Oct. 6 vs. Seattle Seahawks 8:30 PM
L Week 6 Sun. Oct. 12 @ Arizona Cardinals
W Week 7 Sun. Oct. 19 vs. Tennessee Titans
L Week 8 Mon Oct. 27 @ Dallas Cowboys 8:30 PM
W Week 9 Sun. Nov. 2 @ Minnesota Vikings
Week 10Bye Week
W Week 11 Sun Nov. 16 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
L Week 12 Sun Nov. 23 @ San Francisco 49ers
W Week 13 Sun Nov. 30 @ Indianapolis Colts
L Week 14 Sun Dec. 7 vs. St. Louis Rams
L Week 15 Sun Dec. 14 @ New York Giants
W Week 16 Sat. Dec. 20 vs. Philadelphia Eagles
W Week 17 Sun. Dec. 28 vs. Dallas Cowboys

Put me on record at 10-6 and clinching the 3rd seed with a week 16 victory over the Iggles.

Re: Prediction time! the Pre PreSeason Prediction thread

Redskins seem to be one of the most unpredictable teams in the NFL. People see us either going 3-13 again or some predictions have us going 11-5 or even 12-4.

I think they finish around 8-8 or anything around that like 7-9 or 9-7. Giants and Eagles will probably be better than us this year but it will be close.

Re: Prediction time! the Pre PreSeason Prediction thread

I'm not the most optimistic, but we could be really good quite easily. I think we'll show a little this season, but in the end, fall a little short of a playoff berth. Of course, right now pretty much every fan around the world thinks their team has done enough in the offseason to either "show a little" or make the playoffs, so predictions are a little useless, but yet... fun.

WIN at Houston
WIN vs Jacksonville
LOSS at Philadelphia
WIN vs New York Giants
LOSS vs Seattle
LOSS at Arizona
WIN vs Tennessee
LOSS at Dallas
LOSS at Minnesota
WIN vs Tampa Bay
LOSS at San Francisco
LOSS at Indianopolis
LOSS vs St. Louis
LOSS at New York Giants
WIN vs Philadelphia
WIN vs Dallas

So... 7-9, 3rd in the division.

Re: Prediction time! the Pre PreSeason Prediction thread

I too am a big believer in Gruden. As FRLPG said, the guy wins.

WIN at Houston
WIN vs Jacksonville
WIN at Philadelphia
WIN vs New York Giants
WIN vs Seattle
LOSS at Arizona
LOSS vs Tennessee
LOSS at Dallas
LOSS at Minnesota
WIN vs Tampa Bay
LOSS at San Francisco
LOSS at Indianopolis
WIN vs St. Louis
WIN at New York Giants
WIN vs Philadelphia
WIN vs Dallas

We come out like gangbusters. Big win against Seattle and the post-big game let down turns into midseason slump but recover in time to sweep our last three division games. 10-6; 5-1 in the division - NFC East Champs. Win the WC game; loss in Divisional Round.

Pass the Kool-Aid, I am running low.

Hard to argue with this. Even when Washington has had a winning record in recent years, there's been no rhyme or reason to how they got there. Losing to teams worse than them. Beating teams that you wouldn't expect them to beat.

That being said, I'd be pretty happy with anything over 7-9. If they manage 10-6, I'll be ecstatic.

Re: Prediction time! the Pre PreSeason Prediction thread

Here's how I see it:

WIN at Houston
WIN vs Jacksonville
LOSS at Philadelphia
WIN vs New York Giants
LOSS vs Seattle
LOSS at Arizona
WIN vs Tennessee
WIN at Dallas
WIN at Minnesota
WIN vs Tampa Bay
LOSS at San Francisco
LOSS at Indianopolis
WIN vs St. Louis
WIN at New York Giants
LOSS vs Philadelphia
WIN vs Dallas

So 10-6. Spilt with Philly and sweep Dallas (who I expect to be bad -- 5-11 bad) and the Giants (they will be 7-9 again).

Of course, I predicted 11-5 last year, so....

I posted the same outcome in the Training Camp thread. Here's mine:
LOSS at Houston
WIN vs Jacksonville
LOSS at Philadelphia
WIN vs New York Giants
LOSS vs Seattle
LOSS at Arizona
WIN vs Tennessee
LOSS at Dallas
WIN at Minnesota
WIN vs Tampa Bay 7
LOSS at San Francisco
LOSS at Indianopolis
LOSS vs St. Louis
LOSS at New York Giants
WIN vs Philadelphia
WIN vs Dallas

7 - 9, hopefully good performance by the O, solid Specials, and we clearly set our fixes for the D (including DC) in the 2015 offseason.

I happen to agree with Sammy's predictions pretty much to a T. Well done good sir. I do think if things go extremely right though, it could turn out 9-7.

The Skins bring folks together like nobody else.

You were pretty spot on with the prediction.

Well, I predicted a 7-9 record (mirroring Sammy's prediction), but I didn't expect us to be this bad.


At least I was realistic about this team for the most part. It's fun to look back at these types of things and see who was being realistic and who were drinking the kool-aid.
