I think the Redskins play terribly on TV for some reason and that the Eagles are the best team in the division now. There's just not much the Redskins can do because they have the worst QB in the division. It's going to be a solid year where we may go to the playoffs followed by another early exit, but we're not contenders for anything.

- I don't like the bookends of the season.
- We have 3 primetime games which we currently sit at 1-7 with...
- The team never really strings a bunch of wins together, never more than 2 or maybe 3 at a time.

That's 7 potential losses right there IMO.

My prediction lies heavily on the offense. If it's pedestrian, we'll be lucky to be at .500. If they improve and score 21 points a game, possibly 10-6.

Until they address is, Losing Buckhalter's relly a bigger deal than most people realize. Westbrook can't play full time all year; his knees won't be able to hold up. McNub isn't getting any younger, either. The loss of Dawkins is something to consider.

I'm not discounting the Eagles, but they've incurred losses.

They'll probably draft an RB in the first round. Moreno would be a great fit for them.

I'm not worried about what they can't do, I'm worried about we can do. They're prolly in their rats nest saying that despite their losses what have we done to improve on our 14 point a game scoring average?

Nope... because they won't have a 1st round pick this year, they're going to trade both of their 1st rounders for Anquan Boldin. :wink:

But I agree with Vet, they've lost quite a few players this offseason and Buckhalter will be missed. The also lost both safeties and their starting TE. They are in serious need of a RB, TE, OT, S and a WR. They have more holes than we do at this point. One of my best friends is a huge Philly fan and he agrees they have many holes and was pissed they let Buckhalter and Dawkins go.

Probably true. I say let them keep thinking that, because I think most of us recognize that with Kelly, Thomas, Davis getting more involved this year, along with a hopefully improved o-line, our offense should be able to put up more points. I also believe Zorn and JC know this and will make the changes necessary to score more points and be more aggressive offensively.
