The preseason isn’t looking like a favorable start to things is it?

11-5, including a sweep of the fucking Eagles.

I hope you’re right. I’d love to sweep the eagles and get their obnoxious fans to come down several pegs.

If Peterson can rush for 1200+ and our run defense can even be league average, I think we can win 10+ games. But as discussed, can Gruden commit enough carries to him and the run game in general? And can the d-line stay healthy?

I just really want to see a physical team on both sides. Put some asses on the grass. Look forward to some victory formations this year.

I can't complain that Gruden has held out so many key players during the preseason. The team suffered so many injuries last season that I felt it completely derailed our playoff run.

I think this team, if key players can stay healthy, could win 10 games despite our tough schedule. Unfortunately, I just can't convince myself that we can stay healthy enough to do that. That's why I went with 8 wins.

The preseason is way too long and needs to be changed. Its ridiculous that teams seem to already be scrambling because of injuries and the season hasn't started yet.

This is an 8-8 team. They start slow and spend most of the season trying to dig out of the hole they dug early.

Anybody other than me old enough to remember when preseason was 6 games long? I think that was a little over 40 years ago.

I don't remember that. I do know back then the players actually used camp and the preseason to get in shape because there weren't all the off season programs like now. Today players come to camp in shape and ready to play, training camp and the preseason are redundant now. My issue is all the preseason injuries, its ruining the product.

It's inevitable we're moving towards a 2 game preseason, 18 game regular season, with expanded rosters too

HOPE - 10-6
realistic - 8-8
disaster - 6-10

That's about me too, 9-7 or 10-6 at best, still too many holes.

8-8 ... Slow start, strong middle season and then, after fighting back to 7-6 with a shot at the playoffs, two late season out-of-conference losses let them slip away and we close out the season with a meaningless win against the Eagles.

Just curious, what holes do you see in the roster - given that no roster has superstars at every position.

There weren't any off season programs because unless you were a marque player you had to have an off season job to support your family. Most people had 6 TV channels 40 years ago and cable was in it's infancy and only had deals with the local NBA and MLB teams.

LG, C . #1WR , Injured #1 TE, ? in the secondary. I do have high hopes for Dunbar and Montae but DJ scares me and Norman isn't getting any younger.

Wrong Wrong Wrong Wrong


Skins finally win a season opener under Gruden, and ASmith doesn't fade like Cousins. His drive to get further in the playoffs leads this team on a winning streak deep into the playoffs, NFC Championship is in our grasp till Gruden goes for 5 FG's at the 3 yard line and we lose the divisional playoff 21 - 15
