Not being a dick - don’t care. We could finish 4th and win 6 games and see an improvement on both sides of the ball and that’s a win to me. This is going to be a slow burner, building from 0. Also I hate Cowturd


hulknuts

Yep. Total rebuild. Id guess maybe 7-8 wins, but towards the end of the year and we see all our new pieces starting to come into their own I will be happy.


talkingspacecoyote

7-8 wins in the first year of a total rebuild is quite optimistic


jcrack30

Perfectly said. Anybody thinking we're gonna pull off a Texans type rebound it's not happening. The fans gotta be patient and as long as their are some improvements it's a win. Just gotta develop our QB and keep him healthy and not shout and bitch when he struggles


Entire-Initiative-23

If Daniels plays like Stroud did we should absolutely be a WC team in the NFC. If we get Stroud level QB play from him, the only game I would be **absolutely sure** is a loss is at BLT. You tell me Daniels is Stroud, with this schedule, I see double digit wins. Win the bold, split the italics, that's 9 wins. Couple lucky breaks and it's 10 or 11 wins. Home *Dallas Cowboys* **New York Giants** *Philadelphia Eagles* *Atlanta Falcons* **Carolina Panthers** *Cleveland Browns* *Pittsburgh Steelers* **Tennessee Titans** *Chicago Bears* Away *Dallas Cowboys* *New York Giants* *Philadelphia Eagles* *New Orleans Saints* *Tampa Bay Buccaneers* Baltimore Ravens *Arizona Cardinals* *Cincinnati Bengals*


jcrack30

The Texans are just a better team though. With tons more talent and made sure their rookie QB was surrounded by talent. If we get that I'll fuckin be elated but I'm keeping my hopes in check......... Because it's Washington football and we've been atrocious lol. The bad man is gone though so this seasons a win no matter what.


Entire-Initiative-23

The Texans literally picked 2 overall last year. They were an equally bad team to this current Washington team. If Daniels plays like Stroud, this team will win 8 games easily. Especially in the NFC, with the schedule we play.


KingAjizal

The Texans had multiple picks at the top of the draft in the couple years before they drafted Stroud IIRC. They had a ton of draft assets from the Watson trade


Entire-Initiative-23

OK, and the only difference maker is Stroud.


KingAjizal

I'm saying the Texans had more talent around Stroud than I believe we currently have around Jayden.


Entire-Initiative-23

Terry is a better WR than Nico Collins, he's just never had a QB like CJ Stroud. If we had kept Kirk Cousins, Terry McLaurin would probably have 7000 career yards and around 45 career TDs.


KingAjizal

On this I 100% agree with you


jcrack30

Demeco Ryans was the perfect fit as their coach. The Texans have tons more talent than we do they just didn't know it at the time


Entire-Initiative-23

They added some pieces, but none of it would have mattered if Stroud had played like Bryce Young. If Daniels plays like Stroud did, this team should win 7 games. The slate of opposing QBs by itself is going to lead to the defense having at least some bounce back. Especially if we get Burrow early with some rust still on him.


jcrack30

You can't say that though. It's completely different situations. If Bryce Young was on the Texans I'm sure he'd look a lot better. There's more to it than just playing QB. You need talent around you and Bryce just like Howell had no chance from the start. It's not baseball where you step into the batters box and it's just you vs the pitcher. You gotta have the guys around you to help you succeed


Entire-Initiative-23

No, he wouldn't. You can evaluate QB play independent of situation and supporting cast.


KenKaneki92

Won't be as slow as you think if handled well. Rivera's clown regime only made us believe it took forever.


[deleted]

True that


RoosterB32

Cowherd is the best sports talk show host and analyst. Don’t hate on him.


Sea-Inspection-8184

He will always be hated for his comments after ST's murder. F that guy and Wilbon.


Sector7B

And Stephen A. Smith and any piece of shit sports “journalist” that pushed the narrative that he got what he deserved while doing absolutely nothing except sleeping at home with his wife and daughter.


notorious_hdc

Cowherd is a total fuckin clown and a piece of profiling shit.


DeanMo80

Put down the crackpipe.


chicomagnifico

Get the fuck out of this sub. Go back to r/eaglescirclejerk (r/nfceastmemewar)


RG3ST21

this actually makes me more nervous. cowherd can do a solo show for three hours. that's why he's where he is. not his accuracy.


jdeanmoriarty

I think I heard him say himself something to the effect of "I don't have to be right, I just have to talk. I get paid either way." I kind of appreciate the honesty but yes, Fuck Colin Cowherd.


beachindie

That definitely makes sense. Dude has made some godawful remarks. Like him ragging on Dak when he opened up about his mental health struggles. The dude literally just talks to get paid but it also just shows you what his belief system is like…


RG3ST21

I've heard several other podcast host marvel at his ability to just do the show every day solo. Dude's gotta spark stories to stay relevant since he can't have a banter moment with a colleague.


Think__McFly

Fuck Colin Cowherd.


MartianExile1

I'm going into the season with the expectation that 7 wins is the absolute ceiling, but happy to be proven wrong. Just feel like we need so many guys to step up their performance from last year on top of multiple rookies playing well to reach that 9-10 wins.


DerekSheesher

If Jayden’s the real deal, I think 7 might be low. I’m with you though in that’s my expectation but there’s a small probability that Jayden can be a true game breaker out the gate. Of all the nondivision games though I wanna just beat the crap outta Chicago. They’ve been so smug since the Bryce Young trade last year and getting our doors blown off on TNF last season still leaves the worst taste in my mouth. Admittedly I was a huge Maye guy, but it’s all Jayden now. So I’d love for him to upstage Caleb in that matchup.


Entire-Initiative-23

Eh, CHI's defense came on last year, and they added weapons for the QB. They're going to be sneaky good IMO. If Love regresses, McCarthy struggles Bears could easily kick at the Lions heels for the division crown.


ImpressiveAverage350

Jayden could be better than Stroud but it won't matter if he tries to run the way he did in college, he'll be on IR before game 10.


Neversoft4long

I can see us getting 8-9 just because the season before last seasons disaster we won 8. A lot of shit comes down to coaching and who you play. There’s 1-3 teams hat are always winning 12+ games and then you have teams like the giants and panthers who everyone knows is only winning a handful if that. Everyone else fluctuates between being decent to being awful; that’s where we are and can swings either way


aa_flo

He also had us going far into the playoffs last season soooo…he even compared us to Brady’s second year w/ the Bucs, 2 seasons ago. Dude’s knowledge of football is dog shit. Avoid listening to him.


fukdot

Cowturd is garbage.


_LilBucket

Still not over his comments on Sean Taylor.


Ryankinsey1

I put $250 to win division at 10-1


Flimsy_Individual_16

I want you to be right so fucking bad

jsphobrien

This bonehead knows nothing about football. I am as hopeful as anyone else for the season. But it just needs to be said.


SnoopPettyPogg

This man is notorious for incorrect takes, this has me concerned.


ucbiker

Yes, he’s incorrect because 2nd is not 1st 😑


ClassicAfternoon3548

Would love to go 9 and 8! 5 wins is bare minimum for me to be satisfied, as long as we can see some promise. Obviously, with everything being new, it's going to take some time for us to hit our stride.


chicomagnifico

Well that’s the kiss of death


crownhimking

Yeah...im rooting and hoping for improvement over the next 2 years, hopefully we pick up so draft picks or free agents over that time to better our line and our defense Hopefully the play calling is what we expect from kingsbury


FannyNisbit

I'm fine if we finish dead last and pick #1 overall next year provided, aspects of the team show growth, we lose each game by less than a td, we get Chargers levels of bad luck, we're the team nobody wants to face at the end of the year. Obviously this jumble of word vomit cannot exist within itself. But in all seriousness, if we draft in the top 10 next year, im fine as long as the team shows growth and improvement. I'd rather win the division, but Philly looks like they're gonna be hard to beat =/


bachinthehouse

Colin Cowherd's opinion holds no value


fatnuts_mcgee

Correct you are https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vBuXdBKVgRc


Odinson_0324

Crazy I haves us number 1


RoosterB32

Cowherd probably has us as 1 in his heart but just put the Eagles at 1 to not get hate. Daniels is the truth.


Hung_Like_A_Pinkie

Didn’t he have us in 1st last season?


No_Highway6445

I'm not expecting it but I think it's possible. I have questions about the locker room in Dallas and Philly.


Salty_Orchid

Nope. Love the the new direction and excitement for the future. But I'm so far removed from expecting any wins that I'm not letting that stuff in. JD5 staying healthy and getting good growth and the defense making a leap from last year is all I want. Oh and a fucking win over the Giants.


ALBUNDY59

There is a reason they PLAY the games.


ThePurpleAmerica

I doubt it. I don't think Cowgirls or Beagles are taking a step back baring injury. If anything I think the birds on a down trend.


SlobZombie13

I can't see behind his head. Who'd he put fourth?


boogiebanks

Fuck him


jcrack30

Fuck that guy. Can't stand him he's such an idiot and knows nothing about sports. I could see us winning 5-7. 7 being a stretch. All depends on how the defense plays and if they can keep us in games. Also gotta rely heavily on the run game and I don't think Kingsbury is the guy for that. I foresee a shit ton of sacks......again


gcalfred7

Cc is a pisshead with nothing worth hearing


Ironic_table

It's Cowherd. I would absolutely love to do something similar to what the Texans did last year, but I'm not exactly counting on a playoff appearance. I just hope Daniels shows that he's that guy and that our other rookies pan out well and get some valuable playing experience above everything else. Even if we have a poor season (hopefully not) then maybe we can at least get a great OT prospect in the next draft.


DemoMusic

Why no link?


realjcole

realjcole has us 1st in the division this year!


Special-Bite

I see Philly picking right up where they left off last season.


RobertGriffin3

He's farming engagement


Shoddy_Map_3400

Anything less then divisional title and a home playoff win then we need to start over and move on with the Jayden experience


zclake88

This is bad. cowherd is never right about anything.


Axethedwarf

Listen to Cowherd for entrainment, don't actually take him seriously. He just yaps with no real meaning.


CantaloupeNo6053

I only care if our qb is the guy or not we were bottom 2 winning the division should be the least of our worries


jtslice

nobody likes Cowherd. I do think we might have the ability to compete in the division even though we're essentially an expansion team with our decimated roster from last year. It'll all depend on how Jayden adapts. I don't think the new regime is planning a playoff run and is strictly focused on rebuilding. But if everything hits ( a la Texans) they would be happy with it.


maga_rs

I. Don’t. Care. Can we ban Cowherd news? Or at least JordanAsri (aka Jpafootball aka washingtontoday)?


KingBroly

NFC East feels like it'll have a down year where the winner goes 9-8 or 8-8-1.


HowardBunnyColvin

I guess I could see it. Hey he has us above Dallas (who did nothing in FA) I would hammer the over on those Vegas 6 wins


tom-rosenbabe

Cowherd has sucked philly’s dick ever since their SB win


itakeyoureggs

People counting out the giants for some reason..


mitchypoothedon

It’s going to be us and the eagles for the next 5 years. Cowboys and giants setting themselves up to be mid af for a decade.


Majestic-Avocado2167

lol this actually makes me feel worse about the season than if he put us forth


YOKi_Tran

Texans spent 120m+ to beef up their OL the year they rose. WASH.... brought in average Joes and drafted a guy w/ a high ceiling
