The D to step up...

I expect:

-I'll get to 6000 posts.
-TMC, in a durken stupor, will ban hessy for no good reason and lose his mod status ala another former mod.
-At least 7 more threads specifically about Brunellavaramsey will infect the board
-Schneed will yell at some people.
-SmootSmack will go crazy and shoot up ESPN HQ.

Oh and the Skins will be right aroun 8-8. Could be up to 3 games better or worse depending on the health of the team. We will go back to painfully losing to Dallas twice though. I think we had a nice karmic hex on the Tuna and now that he is gone the hex goes with him unfortunately.

My expectations for the upcomming season are to pass 3 kidney stones, be rushed to the hospital 6 times (NFC East Games) for alcohol poisioning, and polish off at least a case every game. That is the only way I will make it through another losing season.

I'm expecting 0-16, that way I won't be disappointed.

I really don't know yet. There are things I'm excited about and things I'm concerned about.

I think the offense has a serious chance to dominate, because Saunders' offenses always kick ass in their second year. Portis and Betts as a tandem is a serious threat. I think the team knows that they need to stick to a running type of identity rather than getting all cute like at the beginning of last year. And I'm excited to see Campbell get more comfortable in the offense.

But I'm concerned about left guard. How will that affect the line's continuity? And really, for the offense, it's all going to ride on Campbell. If he makes the leap, then our offense will be great. If he doesn't we'll be middle of the road. So on the offense, I can't predict anything till I see Campbell in some preseason games.

On the defense, man I have no idea. I am concerned about Marcus' health, that bears watching. I am excited to see the line getting aggressive on the QB, I think Carter's sack numbers will go up. But if they're rushing more, will we have a problem against the run? I worry how GW will scheme to stop the run if he's sending the ends up the field. I'm excited to see if Fletcher can make an impact as the QB of the D. He could be like Pierce, getting the line in the right position all the time. Or the line may just physically fold, I'm still concerned about Golston's size. I just have NO idea on the defense.

In the end, I guess I'm saying right now I have no idea whether to say 5-11, 11-5, or something in between. Ask me after the 3rd preseason game.

Matty, I always figure 8-8.... we seem to be in that ballpark and really haven't done anything to break out from the back of the NFC

[Longtimefan]

This time last year we were talking SB, Don't let last year's results deminish your bold optimism. NFC east champs, 12-4 record, home field advantage, and no less than two playoff wins.........Now you see why I hate making predictions.

expectation - everyone that was great last year will suck this year and everyone that sucked last year will be great this year..
