Normally ID say this is a Trap game, but its not. Usually they have a pretty decent defence, and when we play them they play the best game of the year. When we were an elite team.
Because the WAS francise has fallen into disarray they kill themselves against great teams. They get focused, and that damn good D of the past that keeps them in games, is a headache.
But, and I have a place in Washington DC, brothers a fan, their DL is totally shot. Maybe ranked 2-3 spots above ours at #24. I doubt they will pressure Brady to much, and thats a huge problem. They are around #22 vs the pass and #23 vs the run.
I think we are #32 vs pass and #22 vs run so we know a bad defense when we see one, Poor Brees, and Redskin D is not good anymore.
Add a Rook Cousins, not even in top 15, and you have a real problem with him dealing with the Pats defensive schemes. They have no deep threat, and DJ comming back means nothing because he has not worked with cousins much to be on the same page. That means over throws and miscues or worse Ints.
They are a short distance pound team having problems running the ball, and average passing the ball.
I think Cousins is a good kid could be good in time with the right coaching. A smith type QB who loves to play and studies, puts in the time.
Id say play all your pats players in FFL because this looks like a blood bath to me, and I try to be objective. I dont see you losing this even if the football gods conspire against the Pats.
and Im not knocking Gruden either took guts to kick RG3 to the curb and pick a QB he knew loved FB and is trying.
