Redskins vs Chiefs Pregame Thread

Side note: How effing great is DJ Swearinger?? Dude is turning into the heart and soul of the D (I could watch the play where he knocks the skittles out of Lynch all day and not tire of it).

With that said, I am seriously worried about a let down b/c of how much emotion went into last week's win. I have no doubt they CAN beat KC but worry that they won't be able to sustain the emotional physicality needed to do so.

Yup, that article chico posted had a gif of it and it played on loop, i watched/heard it about 10 times today.

I think, maybe more hope than think, that our D can match up w the Chiefs. Swearinger keeping guys lined up right, calling out plays. Brown and Mason plugging run gaps. Norman/bree winning 1 on 1 so we can focus on run and Kelce.

Cravens would be nice to have, i thought he would play the "shadow TE" role when we went up against a Kelce.

Kelce is a bama. Acts like a bama, looks like a bama.

Is Hill a great WR or is he just living on speed and creative ways of getting him in space? I have never been super impressed with his "receiving" abilities. Just a freak athlete who the coach is putting in the right spots. I think if we coach this just right, we can shut him down. Damn, our edge-to-edge run defense has me drinking some stroooong Kool-Aid.


He’s still learning the ropes at WR but his crazy athleticism and Reid’s system makes him very dangerous.

If the D keeps showing up similar to last week it will be a very interesting season.

Was it just a perfect storm of the D playing way above it’s head and the Raiders’ offense laying an egg, or is the D a legit force to be reckoned with? We shall see.

I thought our D looked solid the first 2 weeks. Against the Eagles they killed it with blown coverage and missed tackles/sacks that turned punts into 1st downs or TDs.
Against the Rams they also did some of the above.

To me last week was the first time they played up to their potential, I really don't think that was a fluke.

This is what they could have looked like the first 2 weeks had they just finished plays they created.

TMC, I wanna, but I can't drink the Kool-Aid just yet. We checked the box for "play 1 consistent game where everything came together for the most part." The next box of "play 2+ consecutive consistent games against elite teams" is a lot harder to check. It's a great test though, and I hope they again use the "nobody is giving us a chance" chip to their advantage again. But I won't be entirely shocked if there's a letdown, it's in our nature until they prove me wrong. I'd be happy to be proven wrong again though.

Good stat from Keim about our improvement on the defense

"The Redskins' new defensive line has helped. Washington ranks third allowing 1.41 rushing yards before contact, according to ESPN Stats & Information. The last two years: 2.68 and 2.98, respectively"

All about stopping the run folks.

Haha. Maybe I'm just trying to convince myself. MNF always scares the shit out of me.

Lets be honest, the Chiefs suck. Theyve played a weak schedule. Alex Smith just doesnt know he is Alex Smith yet. Once Smith is off his timing, he gets nervous, throws off his back foot and makes blind throws. Ive never seen a QB more afraid of contact.

Tyreek Hill, hes a one trick bum. Run those go routes all game. Thanks for clearing out that side of the field so we can focus on kelce and the underneath stuff.

Kelce - embarrassing. Id be embarrassed if he was a redskin. I hope Brown tosses his fake Gronk ass like Von miller did. How does an NFL player allow another man to pick you up and throw you through the air?
