Only time will tell.

That's because they probably didn't care about where the ball was going with Spurrier here, d-coordinators knew all they needed to do was blitz the hell out of the Redskins and they couldn't do anything about it. LOL
The whole knowing the plays thing was blown way out of proportion if you ask me. If Portis didn't complain after the game out of frustration we probably wouldn't have heard much about it at all.
And like Gibbs said, the few plays where it seemed like they may have known where they were going, the Skins picked up positive yards on those plays.
Every team knows tendencies of other teams, I guarantee you that in every game on sunday, somebody knows where a play is going before it happens. That's a simple result of watching film and studying your opponent.
