Top 10 reasons why the Skins will win 10 games this year

[mooby]

i wasn't particularly happy about the way the offseason went, although i was happy we didn't go on a spending spree. i just hope that everything works out eventually, and after a huge pro bowl season earning defensive mvp lavar realizes he loves washington and wants to stay here forever.

Great list Matty! The win total might be somewhere between 8-10, however!

What WOULD you have liked to see happen this offseason? I'm just curious because besides the Coles situation, I think our offseason went great.

Dammit. I wish NOW we WOULD have signed has-been players this off-season. Joe Gibbs, you BASTARD.

Here are a few reasons. Our schedule consists of the following teams:

Chicago
San Fransisco
Tampa Bay
Denver
Arizona

If we can beat these teams, which in my opinion we should, that's 5 wins there. I think we have the ability to split games with Dallas and Philly and should sweep the Giants. (4 wins) Then we need to play well against one of the following:

San Diego
Oakland
Seattle
St. Louis
Kansas City

If we can pull out atleast one against these teams (probably seattle is our best bet), beat the 5 teams we should, and play well in our division we could win 10 and be in the playoffs. I think 10-6 in the NFC this season is golden and at minimum a Wild Card playoff berth.

ok,
i thikn you will lose twice to the Cowboys (when you sweep us, or at least win one game, i might give you guys a win) and eagles. you lose to the chargers, chiefs, cards, giants (once, i actually think if eli can make some strides they could go 7-8 or 8-8), rams, and the raiders.

i think you beat the 49ers, bears, seahawks, giants, bucs, and broncos. i think even if ramsey struggles at first you should stick with him for a while because he has the talent to be a good starter.

i see you guys like us after all.

you know, believe it or not , i actually do like the cowroids a bit better than the eagles. i've always pulled for the tuna and bledsoe to do well (before going to dallas) i think julius jones is gonna be one hell of a good rb.
the eagles on the other hand, there's not one person that i can think of on their team that i have ever been a fan of.

only thing i kno julius has NOTHING on us 2.5 yards a carry against us, season low.

i can't say i hate the eagles better then you guys (no offense, just one of the biggest rivalries in Football), but i hate them second to you guys. your right though, there isn't a single guy i like, especially McChoke.

Well, if the Cowboys do beat us twice this year, I wonder which other team the Cowboys will beat? I have them going 3-13 this year.

In his hey day Gibbs was one of the best at making adjustments. It had been 11 years since he had been coaching, so I think he was just feeling out the league and seeing how his old schemes would work. The last couple of games he started to open things up, and he is showing the adaptability with the changes we hear that are being made to the offense. This man has won championships in the football and he went to Nascar and was again successful in a brand new sport. Joe is building a foundation of the right system, right players etc. He just needs time to undo years and years of poor and ineffective free agents and personnel moves the Redskins made after he left. I also think Jacobs will be a key in our WR corp. I also have a feeling Barrows is going to play a key role in the defense since he finally appears to be healthy.
