To beat the Rams at home by a value of 9-7 is not exactly impressive, but they accept it but they can get it. At least the defense seemed to be effective. Then again, it all happened against the Rams, a team struggling to score in the entire year 2008 and appears to have the same problem in 2009.
The Washington Redskins are in arguably the toughest division in football. The Cowboys, Giants, Eagles, and playing football competition almost every year, and try to win thatDepartment is a very tall order for a team like Washington. For this reason, every game and every week matters to the fullest.
The Redskins have an interesting team in the sense that it is as well rounded. On the other hand, they have the weakest quarterback Jason Campbell in the department (while he is a good quarterback, he is not comparable to the likes of Donovan McNabb, Eli Manning or Tony Romo it), and the defense in New York Philadelphia and Dallas are allstronger than in Washington.
Your receiver (Santana Moss, Chris Cooley, etc.) are good but not great, and while Clinton Portis is without doubt one of the best running backs of the decade, he ages a little and seems to have lost a step back.
Where the skins are from here, one can only guess, but they remain a long record to win the division. This is a tough division, and barring any major damage to the other teams, I do not see the Redskins vying for a playoff berth.
