6 games to go... predict the stretch run

BrunellMVP? · 11-19-2007, 12:39 PM

I said 4-2.

Wins against: Tampa, Buffalo, Chicago and Minnesota

Losses against: NYG and Dallas

Could be 3-3 if we lose next week. I'm also not sure how much Dallas will play their starters in the last week of he season- pure speculation now but...

scowan · 11-19-2007, 12:42 PM

Does anyone really know when we get Randy Thomas back? That really could make a difference. If anything, maybe down the streach it will make Joe Gibbs go for it on 4th and 1 more often. (I am still frustrated by the decision to attempt a 50 yard FG.)

irish · 11-19-2007, 12:45 PM

I think 3-3. Gibbs 2.0 has a pretty lame record after Nov 1 and I just dont this year being any different.

Win: Buf, Chi, Min
Lose: TB, NYG, Dal

naschultzmd · 11-19-2007, 01:29 PM

I say 3-3 at best, but it doesn't really matter.

If we lose to TB this week we are done. There is no way we'll get a wild card spot with a 3-4 record against NFC teams and 1-3 against NFC east so far, all the tiebreakers will go against us even if we end up 9-7.

skinsfan_nn · 11-19-2007, 01:57 PM

I see us getting on a roll down the stretch, cut a few mistakes out per game and we are right we should have been all season. I said IMO from the start I thought we would go 10-6 and I'm sticking to it.

5-1 down the stretch. Every game from here on out is a playoff game, we'll start with a BIG win in tampa.

Nice game by the Skins yesterday.
You have a QB that is second best in the division - if not now then very soon.

I was particularly impressed at how JC kept coming at the end of the game, he picked the cowboys stupid prevent defense with relative ease and looked good doing it.

Whether or not the Skins can make a playoff run will depend on how fast and how well ST can come back ...

WillH · 11-19-2007, 02:30 PM

Games I think we SHOULD win:
Bucs
Bills
Vikes
Bears
Cowboys

I actually think there is a good possibility to go 6-0, but I just dont think it is very probable. I voted 4-2.

We will probably lose to the Giants in NY, and then to one other team we should beat, most likely Tampa because we will still be without ST, but I think this is a very good team likely to make the playoffs, I think they believe that too, and that is more important than anything else.

dall-assblows · 11-19-2007, 02:53 PM

0-6. the way things are going we will never win another game. ever

Damn you are more negative than I am. Its odd but I feel better after the cowpukes loss than I did after the jets win. S Taylor was the missing difference IMO. JC played his ass off. Course there was the killer Int. but the offense sure looked a lot better.

RMSkins · 11-19-2007, 04:25 PM

I am going to stick with my original preseason prediction of 9-7, so that means 4-2.
Buccaneers L
Bills W
Bears W
Giants L (They have our number)
Vikings W
Cowboys W

Well they need to go 5-1 or 6-0 to abide my prediction of 11-5/10-6. I think 5-1 is a good possibility. I keep thinking that one loss would be one that we didn't plan to lose. I've thought the Bills, but there not nearly as effective with Lynch out.

I just want us to win this weekend. We've played really well the past two week but nothing to show for it. I don't see it happening, but still I don't want the team falling into a mental funk because they're playing so hard with no results.

I think we really, really need a W this weekend. If we lose that's three in a row and four outta five. Can't go there. If we go 5-1 down the stretch, the only loss IMO would be @ the Giants. If 4-2, then sadly I would say the other loss will be this weekend.

I really think we're going to go 5-1. The O-line and passing game have really taken big steps. Taylor and Thomas will both be back in a few games, and I think the offense is only going to get better.

We've got to establish more pressure on the QB somehow. It hasn't been awful, but it's not enough either.

henry12portis26 · 11-19-2007, 10:13 PM

I say if we end up BLITZING teams and not play Cover 2 and show the world how bad we are at it then we'll beat the GMen and Dallas and we could possibly win out 6-0 but realistically 4-2 MAYBE... 5-1

DieHardSkinsFan777 · 11-19-2007, 10:34 PM

I think it's very doable for us to go on a 5-1 roll to finish out. Wildcard birth coming up.

whummel · 11-20-2007, 06:56 AM

hey come on guys the g-men and the boys will both loose to us and we will end up 6-0 the last 6 games with us making the playoffs at 11-5 hail to the skins
