Skins Wins - predictions go here

[Buffalo Bob]

After seeing that Mitch Trubisky completed 80% of his passes last night my prediction of 6 wins seems overly optimistic to the point of being delusional. The Dallas and Chicago games were worse than the score indicated and we probably got up 17-0 on Philadelphia because they aren't that good right now and came out rusty.

Who can this team beat? Maybe the Jets, Miami and the home game against the Giants? Maybe they pick up a surprise win somewhere if they get all the breaks.
This looks like a 2-4 win team right now.

This team couldn't beat the Giants at home last year, don't see why it would happen this year.

Realistically this team is destined for a 4-5 win season when it comes down to it. Here I'll do the rest of the schedule:


Giants - tossup
Patriots- LOL. Def a loss.
Dolphins- Our first win. 2nd if we get lucky with Giants.
49ers- Loss
Vikings - Loss
Bills - Loss
Jets- Win
Panthers - Loss
Packers - Loss
Eagles - Loss
Giants- Win
Cowboys- Loss
Browns - Loss
Bengals - Win
Falcons - Loss
Ravens - Loss


So that figures 4 or 5 wins.

Haskins will probably start coming Miami week so I think he'll win that game and Bills, jets as well.

4-12 bound tho

Everything that says win should say possible in front of it. Losses should say definite. I will be absolutely shocked if they win 5. Going to see the Jets game so hope its a win.
Hope its Haskins debut. At least i can say i was there.

4-12 and please do not play Haskins for one second until we have a better o line or we will go 4-12 for a while.

Run the damn ball...Mix up the playcalling on 1st down....look too get the RB more involved in passing game (Guice,CT)....scheme out the tells on offense based on personnel groupings....run more playaction....

I don't see why the offense cant be better. Plus the Schreff and Moses both healthy.

Because we have no Left side of the line, no quarterback, Reed is hurt again, and we have nothing but question marks at wr. Oh n Gruden sucks and will not do anything you mentioned....
This is going to be thee most putrid offense we have seen since Brunell

Kevin O'Connell needs to step up and show his worth

If TW comes around, Reed plays, One or two of our wr’s is better than average, Guice is a stud and AP has another solid year than with our D we can shock some people. Our ST’s scares the hell out of me. The STC is going to turn out to be one of the worst hires in our history and that is saying alot.
Our DC and HC scare the hell out of me too, and of course the Case Keenum factor.

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

Zeke is basically the team, he is 24 has lead the league in rushing 2 years and probably would have been 3 if not for the suspension. He is the offense for the Cowboys regardless what Skip Bayless wants to say. I'd rather "overpay" for Zeke than overpay for an overrated QB any day. We all know chances are he wont get to that 6th year anyway. 50 million guaranteed especially off what Gurley got. It is what it is, I wish he would have waited until week 3 to get the deal done.

I'm all ways very optimistic person so I said 10 wins. Why even watch if you think we will only win 6.

You must be disappointed a lot. For the Redskins be a 10 win team they will have to get big immediate contributions from new players. Whether they came from trades, the draft, or last year's class of injured rookies. It will take time for them to gel together as a team. Rookies usually struggle out of the gate, and the second year players like Guice are basically rookies cause they missed last season.

Combine the above with the early schedule this team starts 1-4. Then with the QB position Keenum isn't on his 6th team and traded for a 6th rounder because he is a solid NFL starter, he is a back up. Haskins is far from ready, a raw talent that needs work in the footwork department and learning to protect himself among other things.

I predicted 6-10. I will watch because I want to see this rookie class improve game to game giving hope for the future.

People hammering Penn/Flowers need to wait and see how the line holds up.
I am not saying he will be TW, he won't but he also isn't a slouch when healthy.
I imagine in preseason he was knocking some of the rust off so yes we will have to actually see it to believe it, but his past 2 years hold hope that he will hold his own early on.
