Your expectations/predictions for the 2006 Redskins

[724Skinsfan]

Last year was the first year in a long time in which I actually predicted them worse than .500 (predicted 6-10). With that in mind, I'm picking 2-14 but I can't say why because my conscious mind will catch on and force me to type my actual prediction of 14 an .... oops almost let it out. Trust me my prediction is going to be right on.

You asked AS OF RIGHT NOW. So here's my assessment:

The passing game improves, Portis and Cooley are good again, the defensive line is upgraded, the linebacking is about the same, the safeties are upgraded. But the CBs and offensive line depth are weaker right now. There is no depth. At some point, some of those players will get injured and we'd be starting the Ade or Jim Molinaro at some point. Not good.

It's also unrealistic to expect the transition to Saunders to be completely seamless. It's not a major adjustment, but it is a bit of a change.

Given that, I think we go 10-6 the way we're currently comprised.

But, ask me how we look once we add a nickel CB, some o-line depth, and a linebacker. I'm liable to tell you we look like NFC Championship game material, at the bare minimum.

Too early to tell. We should revisit this after free agency, the draft, and training camp. Then, after cuts, injuries, and a talent preview, we can give some educated guesses.

Let's put a lid on this super bowl talk. It's March.

With the improvement to 10-6, going to playoffs, offense going from 30th to 11th, Portis and Moss both breaking Franchise records last year, Brunell having argubely his best season in 06, the hiring of Al Saunders, the hiring of GW's old defensive coordinator, the last wave of FA signings . . .

this lid you speak of just got thrown out the window . . .so be happy that we can even entertain the idea of the super bowl, unlike Houston, Tennessee, Cleveland, 49er's, Cardinals, etc.

two words . . .THINK BIG

[Hail2theskins]

Im gonna go ahead and say
1) Im think 11-12 wins next season
2) if we're in the playoffs again next year and get out of the first round, im happy.
3)skins mvp will be portis with a 1500 yds rushing season
4) Although i do have tremendous hopes for us next year im a little worried about the offensive line holding up, brunell's gettin too old for bein under pressure every play

[PWNED]

yeah its kind of hard to stifle that talk when we made HUGE improvements on both sides of the ball.

paper improvements... we can't be sure how it works out until we see it on TV.

I just think of all the teams that have gone from first to worst in recent years and vice-versa. There are NO GUARANTEES that 10-6 last season can be duplicated, let alone improved upon. I'm excited like everyone else, but remember, The Warpath is known as much for its educated fans as for its enthusiasm. Let's watch the rest of the offseason unfold before we start acting like NY Yankee fans.

I want to see who we draft, if we lose anyone in camp or the preseason, what our opponents' rosters look like, who our opponents lose to injury before the start of the regular season, etc. before I make any firm predictions.

But, if I had to guess right now, I'd guess that 11-5 or 12-4 is very reasonable.

[RedskinRat]

12-4, but I'd like to see a perfect 19-0

[dmek25]

ill keep it short and sweet ,at least one more win than last year,and at least the nfc championship....at least
