why not starting out 2-0 is failure

[skinsdad62]

i have said this many times with some push back so here is why i say its failure

first off 11 wins is what the most optimistic win prediction is . well lets break down the schedule

jags , lions bears texans falcons giants , giants are games we can expect to be favored in 7 wins are possible and obtainable

next we have 4 toss up games , games we could or could not be favored in vikings (or pack ) colts 49ers browns we would need to pick at least a split for 9 wins 2-2

then we have eagles , eagles boys boys , titans packers (or vikes ) are games we wont be favored in . last year we were broomed by the boys and have like 1 win vs dak and we were broomed by the eagles who are better . if we gain a split with them we hit 11 wins . if not we have to beat the packers and titans to get there 2-4

hard to see a path to 11 wins without beating the lions and jags

add to it a history of slow starts and its imperative to go 2-0 heading to philly and giving ourselves a shot at 3-0 which could be huge

Still okay with 1-1 .... would love 2-0 and hate 0-2.

I stand by my point that there are a lot of new players on offense and we will have to see how fast they gel.

i agree with you on the gelling . we need to start 2-0

 

[Sportster 72]

Then they can go 8-7 the rest of the year for a 10-7 record.

i agree with you on the gelling . we need to start 2-0

what if we upset a team that we were not supposed to beat like GB or Tenn? I agree we should start 2-0 but if we go 1-1 its not the end of the world.

The Jags spent 245M+ in FA dollars this off season, new HC/staff etc. They should have the same gel problem if not more so than WASH.

Why is TENN a world beater? Yes they have Henry, we have a stout DL. They also have RT at QB. I believe Wentz is better than RT.

I think its a winnable game but in my 11-6 prediction I put a L on that one. My six losses are 3 divisional games and Packers, Titans, and Browns. Besides the Packers all our non-divisional games are winnable. The line just went down to -2.5 for Sunday. WOW!

2.5 makes betting this game easier.

I know. Probably going to put some money on it. Its week 1 anything could happen.

It’s failure , stop subsidizing failure

you dont know how the season will turn out,. WHo had the Bengals in the Super Bowl?

 

[Rowdy]

Hell, Dan hanzus has this team ranked 31st in the league

 

[countryroads316]

If Washington doesn't start out 2-0 they are still a joke of a team and it will be a long season

So basically if this game were in Jacksonville we would be dogs. Skins are gonna have to earn their respect this year.

I agree. They think Lawrence is a better QB than Wentz right now. It could be throughout the year but right now I disagree.

I know losing to teams you should beat ain’t good

Starting less then 2-0 is failure period

Can they overcome that failure ? Sure

 

[Sportster 72]

There is a lot we don't know about this team. Hell there is a lot the coaches don't know about this team. Every weekend will be a referendum on this team. Mostly a 7 to 8 win team the past few years lets hope there are a couple of more wins out therre.

 

[Breed]

Or maybe the Lions r better than people giving them credit for.

 

[skinsdad62]

It’s failure because of today
