You've been cranky lately, what did they feed you at that conference?

Yea, i dont really like making predictions either, i really had high hopes last season, and look how that went, so i am hoping for JC to have a good season, and hopefully the D can be a hell of a lot better than last year. Really disappointed me last year.

With a new QB that teams have already observed for a few games, I would expect the Skins to win 8 plus or minus 2 games.

As always I'll watch and cheer for the Skins ... but there are no real expectations for a super season. I hope they can prove me an unrealistic pessimist.

I think Sean Taylor is going to break the record for most penalties in a season.

Great Things!

Realistically, I think were a 8-8 type team who if we catch fire and mesh well can be very, very good. I just need to wait and see them actually put together that type of a team consistantly before I get on the Super Bowl bandwagon I was on last year.

I've said it before and I think the offseason additions have only added to my opinion that we have a team that is capable of winning the super bowl, but health and JC's development are huge question marks.

That being said, I think the Pats win the super bowl.

I expect the playoffs, I mean come on, with this roster.

Rajmahal33 · 05-11-2007, 03:34 PM

My expectations are for somewhere between a 2nd Round of the playoffs exit to a 6-10 season. It will all depend on injuries. If we stay healthy i think we can put together a playoff team. If there are any major injuries or a combination of minor injuries we will lose close games again and have a season similar to the last one. We aren't exactly built for success, but complete failure is also a slim possibility

Expectations are premeditated disappointments. I was so hyped for last year, and it broke my heart to watch us stink it up the way we did. So I predict we'll play in 16 regular season games, and the team that scores more points will win.

8-8 you got to be kidding me you must be from the espn thinking we are going to be in last place. Joe gibbs wont let it get away this season he learned his leson! It's going to be a 11-5 season!

Pats win the SB just because they got randy moss? Now I know your from ESPN!

skinsWill · 05-11-2007, 04:36 PM

My "expectation" for this is season is simple BETTER PLAYCALLING on BOTH sides of the ball. I remember the Jags game last year and how on point our playcalling was, allbeit a lil on the fancy side it was efftective. And i dont even need to go into detail about the defensive playcalling, ill just say it REALLY needs to improve!

Interesting. I'm from ESPN (well I'm from DC, but I work for ESPN) and I don't think we'll be in last place
