The-Hogs.net - Washington Football Discussion, Redskins to Commanders Era

i see it the way europes team see's it. i don't see us making the playoffs. 8-8 is about right, and that certainly won't get us a wild card in the nfc.

I agree completely with JSPB22 that the Pies will win 5 to 6 games this year.

It pains me to say that they will win even one game, but even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in awhile.

Philly 12-4
Washington 8-8
Dallas 6-10
New York 4-12

thats pretty much how i have it ...but the giants will be really lucky if they win 7 games.cowboys might hit he 10-6 mark also. REDSKINZ4EVER !!!!

After watching them in the preseason, I think the Cowboys are going to be better than I originally believed. It was a good move to get rid of Quincy Carter. Julius Jones is going to be a stud. And if Vinny doesn't implode, they're going to win some games.

My prediction is that the Eagles are finally going to slip this season. And the Giants are rebuilding. The division:

Cowboys/Redskins (toss up)
Eagles
Giants

What the heck do I know though?

Let's be more realistic!!!!
Skin's 10-6 (win tiebreaker)
eaglettes 10-6
cowgirls 8-8 at best
g-men 6-10

Eagles 11-5

Skins 10-6

Cowboys 7-9

Giants 5-11


Cowboys played over their heads last year and will come down to earth this year. If Parcells could turn the Pukes around in 1 year, I don't see why Gibbs can't as well with the Skins. Eagles are still the team to beat.

eaglettes are over-rated this year, watch them take a BIG step backwards!!!
As for the team from dallas 7-9 or 8-8 is good for them, especially with a suspect offense.

I've got the Eagles in the playoffs -division champs

Skins and Boys - tied - The boys will have a harder time this season. Lots of flux and Keyshawn is due to disrupt any minute. The Skins D can't do it all. It's yet to be seen if they can hold their own... too early to declare ourselves CHAMPS - but I love the optomism... at least with Gibbs, this team is gonna compete.

G-men - too many injuries, too many me-first attitudes. House cleaning underway

I don't understand all this respect for the birdy's. First they lost their best running back to Pitt, their starting running back this year can't stay healthy for a season and no real back-up to him. Second they lost their best O-guard to KC and replaced him with a fat unproven rookie. Third they replaced one of their best reciever's with a cancer distraction from SF. And last but not least they have a inconsistent QB who under throws receiver's constantly and would rather run with the ball than throw it. 10-6 at best!!!!!

It's not everyone else's fault that they've taken a closer look at how things are than how they'd like to think they are.

I guess we will see when they end up taking a step backward's, being the choke artists they are. As for thinking how things are, I hit the nail on the head with everything I said. It's not my fault that they will regress this year. Time for the eaglets to go back to mediocrity. BYE BYE birdy!!!!!

Feel free to back this opinion up. I'm quite interested in exactly how you see this playing out.

Not to mention that they lost both starting CBs and their D-line is all banged up. It remains to be seen if Kearse can last the season.

Respect for the Birds? Why? Because nobody has stepped up to the plate and challenged them in recent years....that's why.

Until someone does, they're the team to beat...plain and simple.

Douglas and Trotter are going to revise their careers in Philly and with the Douglas/Kearse tandem, their D-line is not lookin' too shabby.

Yes, I think we'll be able to play with them better this year...but they ****STILL**** are the team to beat in the NFC East.

As much as I hate to say it, you gotta beat the champ to be the champ. Until someone else (hopefully the Redskins) is listed as the NFC champs, they are the team to beat.

I do however think that could happen sooner than I would have thought last year.

I didn't want to start in on their defense since there is more problems with them than the offense. But...they have WEAK linebackers, their draft picks on the D-line the last couple of years are Busts (except Simon which he won't even be there next year). They have resorted to signing former players they didn't want to keep in the first place HOPING they will make an impact. I hope it doesn't sound like I am bashing the eaglets, but they will not be the good team they were two years ago.

1. Eagles (10-6)
2. Redskins (9-7)
3. Cowboys (8-8)
4. Giants (6-10)

Redskins eke it into playoffs. Eagles don't get to Superbowl. Parcells gets the most out of a mediocre team. Giants have no OL.
Redskins go to Superbowl in 2005/6.

So three guys who were injured last year are busts?

Well, what does it say when they go and sign the weak( i mean the freak) and once and done Douglas?

It tells me they want more depth for a defensive line that was supposed to rotate heavily last season.

I see... so its depth huh? Or maybe its that they are not so good after all. I guess we'll see how the "depth" does when they get manhandled by every running offense this year? Depth ha ha!!!!

If you had paid any attention to something other than SportsCenter highlights last season you would know exactly how many defensive linement were injured, where the Eagles run defense was ranked before those injuries, and which MLB was named player of the month.

I hope your not talking about that bum Mark S. The best Linebacker they had last year is gone and is with the giants.

Eaglets D-line suspect.
