Why? Defense decimated with injuries and Sanchize back to his old tricks? I'm hopeful that they'll hang 40 points on that stellar Redskin D.

IF there's a game left on the schedule that they aren't going to win, it's not this week.

that shouldn't be a problem. used to be, at least wash had a D. those days are gone.
the issue isn't the qb...the coaching...

it's the owner!

It's all of the above. I don't know, maybe RG3 really is that insufferable, but Gruden comes off as a clown for undermining his only hope for a franchise QB at every turn.

In general it's fun to laugh at the Skins, but RG3 had one of the most impressive rookie seasons I've ever seen and it makes me sad as a football fan to see how far he's fallen since then.

If they have anything at all, it is a fairly adept run stopping defense - particularly at home - it is one of the best in the league, remarkably.

They held Tre Mason to 60 yds/0 TD's a couple weeks back and have only offered up a season high 72 yards (I believe that was to the NYG in week 4) to running backs @ FedEx Field.

LeSean is banged up and clearly doesn't want to get hit. This matchup falls square on the back of Sanchez, and with that being said I'd be sweating the sh1t out of this if I needed the Eagles to cover this week.

Don't need a cover. Just need a W for a large haul.

it was a good year.
i think some of the up and coming qb's, griffin, newton are two that come to mind, think that they have it all figured out because they did well one season...
good qb's constantly study and learn and watch tape, and continually try to improve.
as for gruden, i'd have been upset too. they'd won a couple in a row, and then the owner and gm force gruden to go back to their good buddy rg3, when he wanted to stick with what was working-and they haven't won since. so, then rg3 goes running his mouth, and i'd imagine by that point, gruden was po'd at everyone. he got overruled, griffin plays (badly) and then disses everyone else...
should gruden have gone off, probably not. but, i did see yesterday that griffin has quit social media for the rest of the season-which is what he absolutely needed to do. quit being a celeb, and get to work.

I must have missed this. I saw one fairly innocuous comment that suggested he can't win games by himself. Which is true. The entire squad -- especially the guys who are supposed to keep him clean -- has been awful. So I can understand why he might get a little defensive when he's being badgered by the media about why HE isn't winning games on a horrendous team.

Other than that, I really haven't seen RG3 say anything that could even be construed as negative about anybody. It's been Gruden bashing him pretty much all season long and the last thing you should do when you have a potential franchise QB suffering a crisis of confidence is nitpick every little thing he does in public. I just find it very juvenile and pompous the way Gruden has handled his relationship with his young quarterback. Like I said, I know RG3 rubs people the wrong way, but the head coach is supposed to take the high road and not go bitch out his players to the media.

They have the 7th best Rushing Defense in the NFL, and see above for their @WAS stats.

Best of luck.
