It's the NFL and all 3 of those teams have something to play for. It's called pride and it's jobs and it's called being a professional. Do you think that SF is just going to lie down with Singletary coaching them? DId you see them beat the crap out of STL, the team we lost to at home?? Plus they should've beat Ariz. SF is going to be a very tough team to beat. As is Cinn and Seattle. Cinn is playing much better now.

I'm the most pessimistic person on this site but I think the redskins will win out.

12/7 @ Baltimore: A close game but at this point, their players will be looking for a way to get out of town in the offseason.
12/14 @ Cincinnati: Fitzpatrick...
12/21 vs Philadelphia: Kolb will be starting...
12/28 @ San Francisco: They will have checked out by then.

I think we will be lucky to go 3-3. I think we lose to NY and the Ravens and will lose to at least one of the other 4 teams. I think teams now know to just blitz the crap out of us and I don't think there are any adjustments we can make at this point to shore this up.

Re: 4-2 the rest of the way?

Lol well lets get ready for another tail end of the season charge!!! =] ha, the only game im worried about or two actually is Giants and Baltimore, like most people said we struggle against good D's and these two teams have two of the top 10 Deffense. I hope we can pull them out of our bag as victories, but that could be stretch

Re: 4-2 the rest of the way?

I think we beat SEA, CIN, SF.....lose either NYG or BAL...perhaps both....and the Philly game is a toss up.

Every time I count the Redskins out they come out and prove me wrong, im done doubting this team after the '05 and '07 runs.

I predict a 4-2 finish but will it be good enough for the playoffs...that im not so sure about.

That Rams game is the one that I think will haunt us the most at the end of the year...a gimmee game that we flat out blew.

I keep hearing we are going to lose to Seattle. Outside of the 2 playoff games we have only lost there once before and that was 10 years ago. The Skins have the head to head match up 9-4. This is not the team we lost to in the playoffs and there is no reason to think we can't win there.

Re: 4-2 the rest of the way?

Call me crazy but I really think we are going to beat the Giants. To be honest, I am really worried about this week's game. We are playing a scrappy team with nothing to lose in a venue we have gotten crushed in. Seattle, while I believe 2-8, has been playing better. This is the kind of game we have found a way to lose in the past (think Oakland in 05, Buffalo last year) putting ourselves in these must win-out situations at the end of seasons. I hope against hope that we take care of business this year.

Re: 4-2 the rest of the way?

My head tells me we go 2-4 but I want to be wrong:

L: Seattle, NY, Baltimore, Philly. I think we lose to Seattle this weekend because Zorn is losing the tactical battle game after game and Holmgren will be in Zorn's head all game long. Actually think this game is going to be very ugly for us & raise a lot of eyebrows. NY and Baltimore are just better football teams. Philly plays very tough @ end of season regardless of record and I think by then we'll be long out of the playoff mix.

W: Cinci, SanFran. Cinci should be in the bag. SanFran is actually playing some tough football now and I highly doubt the game will mean dick to us... could go either way but I am loath to predict 1-5.

Either way it's time to start thinking seriously about next year. Like ya'll have said we wouldn't be competitive in the playoffs anyway because our offense is so inferior. My biggest concern is the work the FO has cut out for itself to infuse the o and d lines w/ young talent and to find/develop at least one more serious threat on offense. I just don't have faith Vinny or Danny or whoever the hell is really pulling the trigger during free agency and the draft.

Re: 4-2 the rest of the way?

I don't know if it's my will not to give up or what, but even on paper I can't predict the Skins not to go to the playoffs. Maybe it's a character defect I have, but I know in my heart we can win these games. There is nobody on our schedule that we cannot beat with the right play calling and execution. I cannot count the times the Skins have broke my heart but they have surprised me beyond belief also. I'm not going to pick specific games but I say we win at least 4 out of 6 and go to the playoffs.

Alright, here we go. Seattle-W NY-W Baltimore-L Cincinatti-W Philly-W San Francisco-W ...The only advantage I see for Seattle is crowd noise. Other teams have won there and we owe them one...We need it more than the Giants and will have some surprises for them... Our defense is better than the Ravens offense but their defense could give us problems and win the game for them at their place... Donovan finds out who the best team really is... San Francisco... have we locked up a playoff spot yet? That should'nt, but could make a difference. I would'nt bet on these picks but this is what I'm going with. By the way, another Deep Creek grad plays on the Seahawks. #55 Darryl Tapp DE.
