Perennial losers, Redskins tied for 1st in NFC East at 2-2

But that is exactly what he did.

Pierre Garcon says the Redskins’ game-winning drive against the Philadelphia Eagles, which gave them a decisive 23-20 edge on Sunday, was the stuff dreams are made of. It wanted to finish the season’s first quarter with a 2-2 record, not 1-3.

Is that a sign Bradford has taken strides toward being that franchise quarterback, or merely a sign that Washington has a poor pass defense?

“Us as players, we are here for a reason”. We got over the top with our offense finally in game four. He did that against Philadelphia.

Bradford entered the game with three TD tosses all season. There weren’t a lot of holes in the running game, but the Eagles over-committed to stop it and are good against the run anyway.

When he took the stage this Wednesday, a reporter joked that Bradford wouldn’t have to answer any more questions about the deep ball or lack thereof. That’s been a recipe for disaster in the past.

He went 31 for 46 for 290 yards overall, and was 6 for 10 for 44 yards on the last drive. Any time you get in those experiences and have success, it enables you to go back and feel like you can get it done in the future.

“Theres a lot of things we can improve on. Watch as Kirk Cousins dials up the pass in a crowd.

The first half here Sunday was a comedy of errors, many by the Eagles. Most important, Cousins didn’t throw an interception.

An argument could be made that there is mental fatigue with being on the field significantly longer, but it’s not as if Davis’ defense hasn’t held under similar circumstances.

That’s true on the field, but it’s just as true off of it. There are very few individuals on this squad who are playing their part and Kelly is not one of them. Cousins was cooler than Prince, Morris Day and The Time on that drive. Matt Jones struggled mightily only rushing for 11 yards on 7 carries.

Safety Trenton Robinson had three tackles for Washington. And on Sundays, it’s the head coach’s job to bring a team prepared to win. Terrance Knighton in the middle is a force at nose.

Jason Kelce called out himself and his teammates on the offensive line for performing poorly through the first four weeks of the offensive season, in which the Eagles have gone 1-3. Washington ranks second in the National Football League in rushing yards allowed per game (78). That’s not good. You don’t want opposing special teams coaches thinking that he’s blockable. Punter Tress Way averaged 44.2 yards per punt and had a long of 63. But coverage continues to bedevil the Redskins, who lost their opener against Miami when Jarvis Landry returned a punt 69 yards for a score in the fourth quarter to break a tie game. He said he sprained it in the second half Sunday.

“He is one of the greatest competitors on this football team”, coach Jay Gruden said about Garcon, “and people feed off of that”.

“This thing is a powder keg ready to blow up, because as you guys know, you talk to the players, I’ve done their games, even when they’re 10-6 the last two years, the players aren’t real fond of the way they do business and the way they practice”. And hopefully it pays off and he’ll get better every game. Would not be surprised if defensive coordinator Joe Barry picks the mind of current offensive coordinator, and then tight ends coach under Shanahan, Sean McVay throughout the week. So he unleashed the pass rush.
