oh, and another "correction":



this one pains me, but the redskins will not go 9-7; they'll be lucky to hit 8-8. while I like the way they've gone about rebuilding, it is still that-rebuilding. they have a solid running game, and some potential on D, but they are going to run into HUGE problems with the passing game, especially when jeff george starts slinging the ball downfield while schottenhiemer wants a short passing game. George is not a short passing game QB, but he's all we've got...the offense will likely struggle.



here's their schedule, and my guess at the outcomes:



SEP. 9 at San Diego 4:15 (win)

SEP. 16 ARIZONA 1:00 (win)

SEP. 24 at Green Bay 9:00 (lose)

SEP. 30 KANSAS CITY 1:00 (iffy)

OCT. 7 at New York Giants 1:00 (lose)

OCT. 15 at Dallas 9:00 (win)

OCT. 21 CAROLINA 1:00 (win)

OCT. 28 NEW YORK GIANTS 8:30 (lose)

NOV. 4 SEATTLE 4:15 (lose)

NOV. 11 Bye

NOV. 18 at Denver 4:15 (lose)

NOV. 25 at Philadelphia 1:00 (lose)

DEC. 2 DALLAS 4:15 (win)

DEC. 9 at Arizona 4:05 (win)

DEC. 16 PHILADELPHIA 1:00 (lose)

DEC. 23 CHICAGO 1:00 (win)

DEC. 30 at New Orleans 8:30 (lose)



I have them at 7-8, with the game against the chiefs as iffy b/c of schottenheimer. Also, notice that I'm allowing for 4 wins against arizona and dallas-realistically, those 4 probably wont happen, since the 'skins have a (recent) tendecy of letting those two teams act as spoilers.



Dont get me wrong-I'd love to see the skins go 9-7 or better, and I do think it will be interesting to see what marty can do with the team. but it will likely be 2 years before the team is seriously back in contention.
