Your expectations/predictions for the 2006 Redskins

[Huddle]

Brunell doesn't fit Al Saunders' offense and Campbell is green.

Who's gonna drive?

The offense never gets in gear.

Lots of finger pointing.

We finish 8 - 8 and Dan Snyder is once again the punchline for some really bad jokes.

All together now! Boooooooooooooooooo

if saunders can't make it work with the pieces we got, then we can go back to last year's plan. The offensive will be better not worse and the defense will be fine and get mroe sacks.

I was counting on that. Otherwise I would have predicted 6 - 10.

so with everyone returning and 3 offensive upgrades, 2 defensive upgrades, an OC upgrade, and a couple ST upgrades, and a MASSIVELY easier schedule, we're somehow going to suddenly get much much much worse for no apparent reason?

1. There's no such thing as a MASSIVELY easy or difficult schedule anymore. You've heard of Parity? It's working.

2. I gave you two very good reasons that our record might not get better despite the improvment. Brunell doesn't fit and Campbell is green.

3. Never said the team was much much much worse. Those were your words. The overall talent on the team is certainly better.

1. we had the #2 hardest schedule in the NFL last year. this year it might be closer to 15-20. that would be massively easier.

2. brunell does fit. If they're going to completely change the offense with total disregard to the guy on the field, then the coaches are idiots and we have no reason to pay them millions a year.

3. i never said you did, but thought i'd throw it out there since it wasn't mentioned. Figured it might offset whatever deficiencies you might see.

If you looked at the 2005 schedule before the season, you would have judged it an easy one. Four or five teams on our schedule made dramatic turnarounds from the previous year. The same thing could happen this year. That's because teams in the NFL are evenly matched.

Joe Gibbs told us that they went after Al Saunders because they were impressed by what he did at Kansas City. Have you read about his offense? There are major changes coming, not in formations, but in strategy.

He wants to spread and stretch the field. You do that with a pocket passer like T. Green not with a 36 year-old scrambler. Campbell has the ability but not the experience.

1. I see 13-3, possibly 14-2
2. Make your reservations for Miami
3. Portis should get MVP this year
4. I agree with everybody else, there is a good chance Brunnell won't play the whole season
