Redskins look unstoppable!

With the combination of Hall of Famer HC Gibbs, and DC Williams and OC Saunders, both of which should be future Head Coaches real soon, the loaded talent on both sides of the field, and a no holds bar owner who wants badly many Super Bowl rings on his fingers, I don't see how this team won't do well in 2006 and beyond.

It will be interesting to compare Chiefs and the Hogs this season given that AS is now with Skin's and Solari has taken over where AS left off and Edwards is now our HC! Although I would have preferred to have had AS as Vermeil's successor, I am cautiously optimistic that Solari can pull off a strong showing as our OC, and Edwards can use his skills as HC to balance our team and improve our odds in making the playoffs and enduring all the way to the SB.

They will go as far as Brunell can take them... he's a good hit or two away from sitting on the bench, then it's over to Cambell most likely (2nd year guy). Anything can happen, but I wouldn't bank on him succeeding this season should he be forced into the lineup.

just about any qb is a good hit or 2 away from sitting on the bench.Brunellh as a pretty good damn year last year. He's finally healthy. I think with the weapons they do have,they will be a top 5 team on offense. 11-5 is my prediction for the Skins, But they do play in a tough division.

Saunders will never be a head coach.

I think you'll find that the difference he makes, both for us losing him and the Skins gaining him, isn't as much as you thought it would be.

Not really. I'd take Carolina and Seattle by a touchdown each over the Redskins.

I do like what they've done but, still - it starts in the trenches and the Redskins don't excell there. Their QB is very borderline (in terms of health and performance) and if he goes down they're done. Their WRs are nice but not nearly as good as hyped; just look at Lloyd's and Randle El's production.

I like them to win the NFC East and win a playoff game (or two), but the highest I see them peaking is the #3 seed in the NFC.

In a power rankings, i'd have them below the aforementioned NFC teams along with Pittsburgh, Indy and Denver.

Yea! I agree......Look how many playoff games we won with Saunders as our OC!! Oops.......

Look how many Super Bowl rings The Redskins have had since they have had that "no holds barred" owner you spoke of!!! Ooops....

It's like the old cartoons where when they combine their forces they can make some sort of super-human machine...

I'm sorry to say, but this is an idiotic argument. Saunders coached the top offense in the league while he was here. His team scored over 30 points in the one playoff game he had a chance to coach in. It is not his fault that the defense sucked. He did his part, IMO.

Oh i completely agree....i was just trying to make the point that having a top OC doesnt necessarliy gurauntee a damn thing. It takes a complete team effort to win a championship. We Chiefs fans should know that better than anyone.

Yep.

This is a joke, right? Seriously, who is this?

And Dan Snyder will never win a Super Bowl ring as an owner. He may have the money but he just can't seem to get it done, can he. Money doesn't ALWAYS equate to the ring, does it

No it's not a joke. It's par for the course with him. You just haven't been here long enough.
