Are we ready to compete?

The offseason is over, we've made all our roster moves (just about all of them), we've finished training camp, we've played four preseason games. Now what do you think?

As long as our QB, whomever that may end up being.... preforms decent enough, and doesn't make stupid mistakes... I think we'll surprise alot of people this year... Portis is ready, our O-Line is Solid, are wideouts are going to be a nice addition from last season... and our defense will be dominate once again...

it all falls on the QB, and him not making stupid mistakes... just like Baltiomre did a few years ago with Difler, we need the QB not to lose games for us... My 2 cents

I say more prepared. Another year in the system, another year for the coaches to revamp their gameplan, and I think the attitude is way better this year.

We seem to have 2 QBs that can get the job done and hopefully not lose any games for us. Neither of these 2 seem to be very good but in all other aspects our team seems to be better and considering the coaching at all levels we seem to be better than last year.

I still think that 9-7 or 10-6 is not a stretch and even 11 wins with some help from the officials who feel like making up for last year!!! :roll:

I have to agree with the posts about the play at the QB position. We don't need a QB that will set the world on fire with his play, just one that won't lose us a game with poor decision making or poor passing. I think we have that in Ramsey and Brunell, although in a perfect world we'd have Ramsey's skills and Brunell's decision making and experience all wrapped up in the same QB.

I think the mere fact that our O-line is healthy has made us better prepared than last year.

Our defense is right where they left off, and if we can eliminate the moronic special teams penalties, we are good to go.

We're ready to make the "experts" look really foolish for their idiotic predictions. We're more than ready. And I think the fans are, as well.

I realize the pre-season means much of nothing, but I still don't think our offense has much fire power, I love to stand corrected.

We can either surpise the league with a 9-7 or 10-6 record or head toward the dumps finishing 6-10, very possible. I dont have any over expectations, been burned by my beloved skins one too many time, I am glad to see we all have a pro-redskins bias, 9-7, wild cards !!!

avg 19-21 points and we will be okay.

The offensive line is ready for the season - that wasn't the case last year.

The scheme has been adjusted to better fit Portis style, there was no plan or time to do this last year. This will make the team better.

No one took our defense serious last year now they all have to spend extra time preparing during the week just because it's our D. That will make opponents a little less prepared.

The Redskins are better prepared this year BECAUSE of the QB position. Ramsey is the starter but may not be as good as his backup. Ramsey is better than he was last year, when he was the backkup and Brunell is better than he was when he was the starter. In the end production will determine who will lead this team. They both have improved over the last year and that make the team more prepared. My 2 cents

I am not gonna jump the gun on that one. Yes I think we are more ready than this time last season but really I believe we have a long ways to go. I'm just being real. That QB situation is a biggie.

The O-Line is the biggest improvement. I'm concerned about the lack of pressure from our D-Line.

The picture will be crystal clear by game 2.

We are far more prepared. Our offensive line looks to be a dominant force like I thought they would be last year. I expect us to be near the league lead in rushing ypg. Our defense may actually be better than last year and that's saying a lot.

As long as the QB doesn't lose us games, we should definitely have 10 wins. With great QB play we could win 14 or 15. I expect us to be at 11 or 12.

Just about that time folks. I know I'm excited...
