Of their first 5 games, 4 are real tough. ANd Tenn might be harder then many think, then they have Indy. So that looks pretty hard to me. Then 6 tough ones in a row after the bye. So I think they have somewhat of a tougher schedule then we do.

I have them around 11-5, 10-6. However, that game, Dallas @ Washington, seems a bit interesting to me. It's early in the year, so not too many injuries will happen, and the Commanders have a bye. Although a bye will rest the players, they often come out rusty the next week. Mark my words, if the Commanders come out rusty for the first few minutes of Dallas @ Washington, they're toast. So, they should get 9 to 11 wins.

Im thinking 10-6 or 11-5....its looking good for us this year, and the bye isnt late, but its not early, so cant really complain there.

Go through and pick your 11 wins.

Also we dont have an early bye like you guys, so it might burn you all out towards the end of the season, again. But atleast you all have 2 homes to finish it off, might be some important games.

WHAT! 8-8...!?

I don't think so! The RedStinks are going undefeated this season...they will win so handedly, that Tags will give them not 1, but 2, SuperBowl trophys when they win it all this season!

The midget just spent $876,463,900,234,876,888 and change on some mediocre bum players...now don't you know that puts them way above any team the NFL has ever trotted out since the beginning of time!

Get with it, my man! Ask any Redstink fan...they will tell you! Or, go to ES and ask little Art...he will confirm this also!

Oh, yes...the mighty RedStinks and their little Marching Band will be overjoyed this season...GO ASK THEM...IT'S TRUE (in their tiny little heads)!! :rolleyes:

I stopped reading after Week 1. You won't lose to Minnesota.

edit// decided to be a good citizen and read your post.

You'll lose @ NYG, vs. JAX, @ PHI, and you'll win vs. Minnesota.

I have you at 9-7. No Playoff run this time...

That's just wishful thinking.

I think you've got this backwards. Invert one home loss and the road win. Your hatred of the Bucs has you homered out.

I really think we might lose to the G-men at their home, but I just have a feeling we have the Jags. I dont think they can handle our options offensively, and we have them on lock with our D.

bye week is so overated. We had our bye-week in mid last year and we struggled to beat lions.

I like the schedule because we have five of last seven at home. Remember skins were 5-6 before they hit the home-strech last year.

I also think the Colts game is a winnable one, bc they dnt have a solid run attack anymore, but I still think Manning could tear us up via air. But I feel we have a good chance in that game.

its def not, teams that have a bye within the last five games get to rest for the playoffs, if they are going, but early season byes, can really hurt a team towards the end of the season. We are hoping that the Skins win more games to start off w, so they can lose one or two towards the end, and not wear out.

I have heard this from so many people It makes me laugh. NOBODY game planned for Edgerrin James, NOBODY. He did not make that offense run whatsoever. That was all Peyton.

Watch Indy get a power running back, like a Lendale White, and they would be Unfriggenstoppable. Hell, give them any running back, which they WILL get in the first round this year and they won't skip a beat. That is a guarantee.

Edgerrin James has been overrated for years because of what Peyton and the other boys brought to the table. You'll see that early on in Arizona.
