Wash is playing tough.
When was the last time you saw a team play well , gain momentum, win games and end up in the playoffs, after Nobody on planet earth, gave them more then 5 wins before the season started..... When was the last time that happened?
Well, they looked ok against the Rams but I have a sneaky suspicion that St. Louis kind of took them for granted a little after winning what was a really big game for them in week 1. I think they fell into a trap game in Washington.
Plus, IMO St. Louis isn't as good as people thought either. They beat Seattle but the Seahawks aren't playing well right now and they still almost beat St. Louis at home.
Going back to Washington's week 1 game against Miami... it doesn't look like Miami is that great either. I know their defense isn't playing very good right now.
So, I wouldn't say that Washington is anything just yet. Maybe they'll be ok but they could just as well do what they did last year and start messing up all over the place. Last year they lost a close one to the Texans to open the season and then they looked all world (41-10) against Jacksonville. Then, by the second game that Cousins played (game 3 against Philly), they went down to the wire in a very close game against the Eagles . Washington looked pretty good through the first 3 games.
Then, once teams kind of figured out Cousins a little bit and the new Washington offense, the wheels fell off.
Maybe they do better this year but they'll have to show it to me before I believe it.
