To me at least the game this sunday isn't a big indication of how the league views us, but rather of how the redskins players will view themselves...

I think a win, or a strong performance, as a team and by individuals, could really be encouraging for the players (and coaches) and be a real confidence booster. On the other hand, an embarassing loss could really deflate the team and cause a snowballing panic effect. That to me is why this is a big game, not because we could be 3-2 or 4-1.

I would like to see, regardless of the outcome, JC really step it up and show that he can pick apart a solid defense while committing few mistakes. I would also like to see our offense line come together as a unit and really stifle a daunting pass rush. Along with that I want them to really dominate the line of scrimmage so we can see positive gains on 80-90% of the running plays. It goes without saying but I want our D to continue to play together as a team and limit time of possession (turnovers would be nice too). If we can do these things, I am pretty confident that we will win the game and I will personally be assured that we are a legit team that will challenge for a playoff berth.
