Get ready folks. This team is on the verge of exploding. Having won the last 4 games by a relatively close margin of victory, the Redskins are ready to pour it on. Enter the St. Louis Rams. Sure all of these games could have gone the other way in the 4th qtr. But there is no denying what they have done each week...dominate on the offensive line. Ball control, running the football from behind, in-game adjustments. This group is finally playing solid, smart football.
The biggest role not being talked about as much has to be that of Shaun Suisham. The guy has gone 7-7 the last two weeks when the Skins needed every single one of them. 41, 48, 50. At Philly. Those are just enormous kicks to make. If this team continues on what they have built, they'll only need him from 23. It's only a matter of time before 2 touchdowns a game turns into 3 or 4.
Yes, the zero turnovers have to bounce back and hurt us at some point. However, going 4-1 (with 3 of them being NFC east road games) to start the season is a complete surprise. We need to treat these next 3 games just as we did the last 4. Going 7-1 may not be so impressive if the Giants and Cowboys are 7-1 too.
