    Not doubt they will be attempting to redeem themselves, it has been embarassing so far. The Redskins are coming to Houston in a foul mood, and if they stomp the Texans, the boo birds will be out in force. If I am a player, I would give it all on Sunday because, I agree, it is one of the few winnable games.

    What exactly have the Skins shown? Not much. Brunell does not evoke memories of a real playoff team. Portis is their weapon. Double team Moss shut off their only REAL deep threat.

    I did not say we would beat the Cowboys. We will have our work cut out for us, I said that Mario has a great opportunity to feast on flat-footed dropback Bledsoe. If Gado provides the missing element for our offense, though its possible. Pokes have a very good defense.

    Bills? Again, they beat the Fins 16-6. JP Losman 83 yds passing. Their only threat is Willie McGahee.

    So, 2 out of those 3 wins here is not out of the question. Next.

    I say we can beat the following teams:

    Either Washington or Dallas
    Miami
    Tenessee (twice)
    Oakland
    Cleveland

    So I'm sticking to my original prediction of 6-10.

    I agree except I think Cleveland will destroy our spirit at the end of a season again... 5-11.

    Honestly, I see the Texans getting beat by the Bills. The Bills are my surprise team of the year. I've seen a lot of them so far since I live near Buffalo, and let me tell you, McGahee is running like a top 3 back right now. Their defense is tough, TOUGH, and Losman is playing better than people thought. They might even make the playoffs this year.

    They should have beaten the Patriots. They should be 2 and 0 right now.

    I say 6 wins are very possible. We played 2 superbowl teams. We should improve as the season goes along, if all the players can stay healthy. :mad:

    I am sure every team listed is thinking- now what are our absolute winnable games?

    Oh yeah, Houston Texans. :D

    In my opinion we have not shown anything that says we should be able to compete with anyone. I mean where is the competive spirit? A sack on the first play then a fumble, wtf? man please.

    with that said "GO TEXANS" lol

    With the 1st pick, the Texans will consider drafting the best couple players, but than decide on... a DT from Lafayette State.

    I don't think it's impossible to think we won't beat a team twice in a season...The problem is, it won't be this season or until we get rid of Carr...;)

    I think they will be much better at the end of the year than at the beginning.

    And, I think they will win about 4 games.....probably one upset and they will lose to a couple of the sorry teams too.

    This is a teaching year for Kubiak......they need to hit FAgency hard for lineman.

    uhm.... not really. we lost by an average score of 33-14 in our first four visits to indy.

    actually, 19-10 is our only memory. and that was four years ago. which is why we're starting over.

    Winning AT Pittsburg on that INT return for a TD was pretty memorable. Although, ironically enough, I can't remember if that was Year 1 or Year 2. I'm thinking Year 1.

    Twas. But that's not how we won...didn't we beat them pretty bad? With less than 100 yards total offense?
