This might deserve its own thread but while we're talking about statistics etc...
Who's really better than the Skins in the NFC right now?
The Cowboys? Yes. 5-0, we're 3-1
The Packers? Maybe...4-1, right. We'll find out this weekend.
Who else? The Giants...A case can be made either way, but they are playing better and beat us head to head.
Am I leaving out someone? Carolina...Noooo. Arizona...no defense.
So right now we might be the 3rd best team in the NFC. It will be a real test this weekend and for the next couple weeks.
I'm not going to jump in and say we're going the SB now, but we're much improved no doubt. We're not as bad as the 2nd half of the Giants game and probably not as good as last week. Big game and big test this weekend. Should be fun.

I actually think we can really improve in our run game--our average per carry isn't what it could be. If that goes up, the play action and everything else will really roll.
The only stat that matters is wins, and we have 3. Just keep winning, and the stats will take care of themselves.

But if you look at this from NE's perspective, they can't be looking forward to their matchup with us. I mean they have a lot of games they are going to breeze right through, but our D is going to give Brady fits.
Still a game we may not be able to win, but New England isn't always going to come out playing their best game.

That's right. Only one stat matters and that is wins.

I would not count out the Bears or Eagles. Lot of football to be played.

#3 Defense
#12 Offense.
That's not bad at all.
I can't wait until we play New England. :)
Be careful what you wish for!

You left out Seattle who is always difficult, especially at their home.. I still don't buy the Giants, Panthers or Cardinals.. The Bears are really banged up and their offense is '04Redskins-bad.. I don't know what to think of the Eagles but they've look old, slow and disorganzied except against the Lions.
I think we may be 3rd best in the NFC right now with potential to be 2nd best with a win on Sunday. This is a huge game as it could play into a homefield playoff tie breaker down the road, but let's not get that far ahead of ourselves.

I'm still not sold on a consistent S. Moss. Mccardell was a goood pick up. And the skins need to hand the ball off to Portis atleast 22 times. Portis is our playmaker.. get him the frickin balll.
