One of the interesting tidbits:
—According to Football Outsiders, the Redskins have had the second toughest schedule in the league in terms of the combined DVOA of their opponents. If you prefer raw win totals, Washington’s four opponents have combined to win 12 games, the most of any opposing slate in the NFL. But the FO folks say it gets easier from here; the Redskins’ opponents have a combined DVOA that ranks 26th. Of course, nothing is easy in the NFL but if the Redskins are as good as fans hope they are (and FO says they are the fourth-best in overall DVOA) they may be able to make a run after their bye. |
This is all true, of course, but it's perhaps a bit inflated by the fact that there are two 0-4 teams -- the Giants (who we play twice) and 49ers -- on our schedule. But we should assume that both teams will play the Redskins hard -- the Giants because NFC East games are that way, and the 49ers because you KNOW that Kyle is going to want to stick it to Snyder in the worst way. And the 49ers have no offense, but their defense has improved a lot. I don't care what the record is of any team we're playing anymore -- good or bad. We just need to go out and execute like we're capable of doing. If the Redskins can do that, they will win often and convincingly.
