The Commanders should be the team we worry about. After playing the Giants week 1, I commented at how stunned I was to see that roster constructed so poorly. I mean Dan Connors starting? They have always been a team that was built around a 4 man pass rush. And that DL is not good. They are famous for good TE play. And there TE play is not good. There secondary is not good. I could go on and on...but they started the season 0-6 for a reason.
We get the Eagles in Dallas so I am not worried about them. The last time we played them they scored 3 points...and this defense has no business holding ANYONE to 3 points.
But the Commanders LOVE to play/beat/focus on Dallas. They are quite confident when it comes to Dallas....in spite of the overall W/L record against us. So they are chomping at the bit to walk us down. They don't even care if they win a playoff game. Just being able to say they won the division after spotting us a couple of games will give Mike Shannahan a contract extension and have Commander nation dacning in the streets. We have NO one but ourselves to blame for this. The situation with our DL, which in turn has led to dismal pressure on the opposing QB, which has led to historic passing yards given up by this defense....is only going to get worse. Should have tucked away 2 more wins when we had the chance.
