As most of us know, the Washington Redskins have not exactly taken advantage of a very cushy schedule.
They have two narrow wins against two awful teams, and three losses to previously winless teams.
(Sonny, you said you felt terrible about Dallas' win over the Chiefs. Compared to what happened yesterday, that was not too bad in retrospect).
What makes it really perplexing is the performance of other NFC East teams against these same teams.
Consider:
Yesterday, they were beaten by the Chiefs 14-6. What made it really perplexing is how the other three NFC East teams did against them- Washington had 265 total yards of offense in that game. To put that in perspective, Miles Austin had 250 recieving yards by himself against K.C..
Washington had only 147 passing yards against them, with no touchdowns. Consider that Kevin Kolb, Tony Romo, and Eli Manning threw for 327, 351, and 292 yards, respectively, while combining for 7 touchdown passes against the Chiefs.
Against Carolina, a team that Philly thumped and Dallas held to only 7 points, they blew a 17-2 lead.
Against Tampa:
Philly won 33-14, McNabb had a monster throwing day
Dallas had 34 points, Romo had a career high 353 yards and 3 TD's of 40 yards or more
New York shut them out 24-0 and held them to 86 total yards of offense in an absolute wipeout.
Washington? scored only 16 points and had 152 passing yards.
