I completely understand the wide range of pessimism with regard to this upcoming game with STL, and for that matter the entire season. After all, and I think someone on here said this to some degree, until they start actually winning it’s hard to get on board with a positive outlook. However, I am cautiously optimistic about this game and the season, just based on the small sample size of one game vs a very good Miami team – a team that some have picked to overtake the Patriots in that division. Whether you buy into that scenario or not, they are still a very good team, and the Redskins played right with them, even dominated early – ultimately to lose due to (in my opinion) excessive and untimely penalties, special teams, and perhaps some overly conservative tendencies.

I think if they can get the same O-line play, not give up the big play on ST (maybe even make one of their own), and take some shots down the field – they simply win, by more than a TD.

If not, then they have little chance.

I for one hope Ross or Crowder has a big game.
