Redskins a Win Away from NFC East Title
Up and down is the best way to describe this year’s Eagles. Meanwhile, the Bills still don’t have a franchise quarterback.
The Redskins lead the NFC East with a 7-7 record. The Eagles take the title if they win their last two games. The last three meetings have each been decided by three points, including the Redskins’ 23-20 win in Week 4.TV: 8:25 p.m. ET, NFL Network.
Time will tell, but it seems that Kirk Cousins is growing into a legit starting quarterback, though he is definitely a work in progress. He completed 69.7% of his passes so far this year for 3625 yards, 22 touchdowns and most importantly, only 11 interceptions, eight of them coming in the first six weeks.
He has grown more comfortable with head coach Chip Kelly’s offense and he has grown more comfortable with his receivers. Which means Robert Griffin III is likely to be cut and available.
The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback is known to be a very good golfer. “I think that is where a lot of people’s focuses are”. “I think he would be able to move around; not necessarily run away, but maybe slide in the pocket or push up in the pocket better than he did at that time”. We’re grown men. This is our job.
Like Washington, the Eagles aren’t the same, either. Those are some wide point differentials.
“No. We’re preparing for their best and we don’t say ‘Hey they’re not going to play like that because they’re not at home.’ It’s a really good football team that’s going to give us everything they’ve got and we’re preparing for their best”.
Bradford will utilize the play-action passing game that created the downfield opportunities for him in Week 4. As long as they can win their next two games, they are a lock to make the playoffs. With depth challenges in the back seven, Washington could be stressed by the tempo.
Hall is a 12-year veteran with 43 interceptions and 10 forced fumbles in his career. You’ve got to go out there each week and play for the guy next to you.
Jackson is averaging 18.8 yards per catch with four touchdowns. That, in my opinion, hasn’t happened any other time this season – including the past eight games. DeSean Jackson tuned up for his former teammates by hauling in six catches for 153 yards and a TD against the Bills; he has torched the Eagles with nine receptions for 243 yards and a score in the past two matchups.
That was also back when the NFL.com preseason power rankings had the Redskins as low as No. 30 and described the organization as being “in disarray” because of what Fox Sports called the team’s “quarterback misery matrix”. It’s going to be up to cornerbacks Eric Rowe and probably E.J. “Hopefully they will pull the W. Go Redskins”.
If Cousins were to make $17 million per year, he’d be just the 17th-highest paid QB in the league – not at all outlandish.
Last time out, the Birds held Washington’s run game in check more or less, but the team’s run defense is something else different about this team.
They surrendered 230 yards on the ground to Arizona. “I had to look at some of the fans and read their lips”, defensive lineman Terrance “Pot Roast” Knighton said.
