This has been an issue for the Redskins since 2000. We under achieved the year we essentially bought a championship. untimely drops, penalties, sacks, which ever the case may be have always been a thorn is this teams side. Playing down to opponents has hurt this team for years. Good teams/franchises just dont lose games to winless teams, or 1 or 2 loss teams. Sure it happens in the NFL, but it happens to us every year. We play really well one week, then revert to the same stuff the next week. Instead of building on a nice win, we take two steps backwards. Hopefully Shanny can turn the mentality of this team around and we will start winning these games. We have played more 3-7 point games in the last 5 or so years than any team in the league. So its obvious that this team shoots itself in the foot repeatedly every year.
