The only possibly negative things I can think of are:
1. A tougher schedule, but I don't think that will be a problem. It will just make us a better team for the playoffs.
2. Teams now have a full season of tape on our offense. Again, not much of a problem. Shanahan has said the playbook will evolve.
3. RG3's knee. He'll know how to protect himself better now, and even if he does get hurt, Cousins proved last season he can lead the team.

Yes those would be major reasons why. Just because we've been hearing great things about RG3s knee, doesn't mean know there won't be any setbacks or it'll affect his playing style. Also the NFC East is still a tough division so anything can happen. NFC East teams just don't repeat that easily. Also a lot of people are stuck with the old redskin teams in mind (2000's) that would do good or go to the playoffs then the next year they'd be in the bottom of the league again. Also our secondary sucked last year. We got some good (potentially) rookies, but at the end of the day, they are rookies.
