Comment from the Rams forum.. Seems like they are more optimistic about the Redskins than a few of you guys..

The Skins have pro bowl level talent at LT, RB and WR - fortunately the last guy is out. Still, Pierre Garcon and Andre Robert are quality WRs, arguably better than we saw last week. The TE Reed is capable of having a big day too. The line and QB play are what have killed them lately. Seems like the line is coming along, and while Cousins is probably below average at this time of his career he's got a good arm, good pocket presence, and a decent grasp of their system. IMO he's an upgrade over the two QBs we saw last year, Colt McCoy and RGIII.

Regretfully, you will frequently find that to be the case.....

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.

They don't realize Andre Roberts has hands like Jason Pierre Paul.
