Burns is a significant downgrade from Danny Smith. I've been watching Redskins football for 40+ years, and these are THE WORST special teams that the Redskins have fielded during that span, by a wide margin.

Foles is Kolb 2.0. He'll have a couple of decent games, then the Eagles can get 2 first round picks until he goes on to bomb and be out of the league in 2 years.

The key to every win for the rest of the season is our Defense's ability to get turnovers. They can't stop anyone so unless they get a turnover, the other team will score on every possession. NOW, can Griffin and company keep up and score 30 per game? That's the next issue. I remember a time not so long ago when 21 points scored by our offense would win just about every game because the defense was so good and the offense was inept. Now its the reverse.

If you are betting, take the over from here on out.

Glad your watching the same thing I am. Coverage teams are the biggest problem imo

Could not disagree more. Kolb is a soft China Doll that isn't willing to stand in the pocket cause he's scared of getting hit. Haven't seen any of that with Foles. He's standing in there and throwing guys open. Plus he throws a GREAT deep ball.

I don't know how you call a guy that has had several concussions soft. Kolb still sucks as a QB, but I wouldn't call him soft. Foles is just a better QB.

Which means they'll pull it out somehow.

We can only hope.

Skins seek redemption after the embarrassment of the first game.

A Redskins win wouldn't surprise, cuz it would just add to the mystery lol.

Kolb was basically the same guy on the Eagles as Foles is. Kolb now? Agreed, but that's what Foles will be as soon as the Eagles get their first rounders for him.
