10/19 Tennessee LOSS
10/27 at Dallas WIN
11/2 at Minnesota LOSS
11/9 Bye
11/16 Tampa Bay LOSS
11/23 at San Francisco WIN
11/30 at Indianapolis LOSS
12/7 St. Louis WIN
12/14 at NY Giants LOSS
12/20 Philadelphia LOSS
12/28 Dallas LOSS

So there you go, the coin has spoken and the coin doesn't like our chances this year.

That coin was pretty damn close.

I think this year hinges on defense and special teams not being as terrible as last year. I like that Gruden is sticking with our run game and I don't see our offense being as bad as they were last year. But if our defense and special teams are terrible again, I only see a 5-7 win season. If defense is solid I think we'll be somewhere around .500, and if defense is great we could have a 10-6 season.

Awful lot of people picking us to to beat the reigning world champions who made Peyton Manning and the most dominant offense of all time look like they didn't belong on the same field as the Seahawks. I'm going 8-8

Totally different scenarios between the SB and a midseason MNF game. I picked us to win. My rationale, they are coming east, the Skins will use the playoff memory to motivate, and my bold prediction Griffin will shock and awe that game.

9-7 nfc east champs.

Dallas 7-9
Eagles 8-8
NY 8-8

If all goes well health wise. 10-6 for me...

That's some straight garbage rankings.

Well is it a surprise? Yahoo has a couple decent guys, but 80% of it is straight garbage, bleacher report-style garbage

That's basically a report card from last year, not a prognosis for this year.

Take last years finish, move around a couple of teams and bingo, preseason rankings. #snore

I think that Yahoo prediction was a bit off but not much. I think the Skins are definitely in the bottom third of teams in the league.

Its been interesting to read some of the reports from Richmond about the joint WAS/NE practices. It sounds like the Skins are pretty far off from what an elite team is doing.
