Skins Wins - predictions go here

[CRedskinsRule]

Matty if you can make this a poll I would appreciate it.

Buffalo Bob wanted the reasons for some people predicting playoffs so I figured I would give my game by game as well general thoughts in this thread.

First and foremost our Defense was dominant against the run early in the season, remember Ionnaidis picking Elliot up and dropping him like a fly? That was GREAT! But we also held Barkely to 38 yards rushing in our first meeting. And a couple other great RBs to. Then Dunbar got injured, and a few others and suddenly all the parts fell off on D, and our offense was down to MSanchez. yes MSanchez.

Second, we as Skins fans have had a great LT for 30+ years so we are very spoiled on that, BUT Case Keenum took the Vikings with a terrible OL to the NFC Championship. He made his living on off script plays. Yes he had terrific receiving weapons, no doubt, but we don't know what we've got. A couple guys look poised to step up, and if even one does become a weapon, then Keenum might find an outlet receiver he can lean on.

Third, our running game should be top 10 or even top 5 if preseason gives any hint (and yes I know preseason doesn't mean really anything). Guice and AP both look powerful with good vision, and good hands for catching out of the backfield.

With all that said and without further ado, I present MY 2019 W/L Predictions, send donations to Matty on my behalf.

Anyone remember the Ace guy on here? He vehemently kept saying the Redskins would go 14-2, even after we had lost four games already that season. He was a character.

6-10, another losing season. Hip hip hooray! =(

Ace in the da house...poor guy. Usually after a skins loss he would do a thread explaining the losses other teams had to endure in order for us to make the playoffs.

[CRedskinsRule]

I really don't see 10 losses. Even given that JGruden is our coach, he has shown he is typically an 8-8 coach, and the talent on defense alone ought to get us to his average 7, if schemed right and a little luck (now that Luck's gone we are due for some) we get to 9 or 10 wins.

Total 10-6

Post your win total predictions

Well said , nice write up . I will say , if our Defense plays as well as it has in some of the games that you mentioned for an entire season , we could win 10 games . The run game is a must IMO , then , maybe the QB play is good enough …. just BEAT dallas , philly and the Gnats , badly !

[skinsfaninok]

9-7 max, offense is still shaky at best. Defense should win us some games

[CRedskinsRule]

I have to ask, who thinks we are going to win 5 or less???? Gruden has shown he's a middle of the pack coach, and we have upper middle defensive talent. I can't imagine this team actually losing 11 or more games.

It's possible cause we are unstable at QB and o-line. Imagine when Penn goes down cause he ain't lasting 16 games. There is no margin for error on the o-line. One or two injuries and it can be catastrophic for an average offense and a below average Keenum.

[Buffalo Bob]

I have to go with 6-10. I think the team will start slow and then steadily improve.

Penn is not a starting lineman on this team. He's depth.

With a season of injuries from hell last year, Gruden still pulled out 7 wins. Maybe it's possible we get 5 or less wins, but to predict that you basically have to believe that our defense is going to give up the ghost right away and that we will lose half our line in the first 8 games.

I agree with SF69.
1st and 2nd year players will be inconsistent.
Penn has finished the last 2 seasons on the IR. He's going to make it 3 years in a row. Flowers is a project at this point.

Defense will be good, probably top 10 but they aren't elite.

Special teams will be the worst in the NFL.
They get nothing in returns and coverage teams look like they will put the defense in bad spots with long returns.

This is probably a 7 win team.
9 wins if the ball bounces their way, 5 wins if things go like they have the last 2 seasons.

[NC_Skins]

I'm going with 7-9 at BEST. The offense is still going to be a hot mess, and I'm certainly not sold on the linebacker nor backs on our defense. Our DL should be something else to watch though. If we win, it's going to come on their backs.


I won't be surprised if we end up with 5-6 wins though, and most likely will if we have any significant injuries.

Jay has had a decent QB too. Not so much anymore.

[Warthog]

People keep talking about our running game. Yes, I love Guice and AP. But every team we play is going to stack 8 guys in the box until we prove two things:

1. Keemun can throw to our WR group who the NFL thinks is the worst in the league. Without a lot of INT

2. The OL can protect Case while he passes.

AP and Guice are going to run into a wall of players until Case opens it up.

7-9

Dont know the game to game, but based on the team under Grudens entire tenure....8-8.
