No doubt the Bucs will blitz especially when the Cowboys have shown the success against JD last Sunday. Also, Bowles is well known for calling a lot of blitz plays.

JD and KK will have blitz beaters ready. This team will be focused, and with Ekeler healthy our offense will have a run option spread out of the backfield.

I have a real good feeling about this team right now.. 5 straight wins heading into the playoffs. JD5 should be rested and good to go.

WSH 29
TB 26

We were 29th in the run defense. Just terrible. That said, our defense overachieved based on the talent we have on that side of the ball. That's a good sign of coaching right there. It does matter.

Can this team win out and take the Super Bowl? Absolutely. Will they though? I wouldn't bet any money on it.

I think we can be spoiler though

Agreed. I think this team could very well play a spoiler. One thing they've shown over the course of this season is they don't stop fighting no matter how bleak the outcome looks.

And Tampa was 28th in pass defense. No team is perfect across the board, and our defense found ways to shut down teams in crunch time. Who knows how it will play out, but if Marshon and Sanristil are covering the back, that gives us a lot more strength to shut down runners.

I've been watching 1991 Redskins highlights all night. What Dan Snyder did to this franchise is beyond comprehension. Evil fucking troll.

But watching those highlights was awesome and Harris/Peters/Daniels are bringing us back. Life is short, I hope we're all here for it.

They are a very dangerous offense and I expect they will blitz our lights out on D. This game scares me. #7 is going to shred.

When I look back at that season and you compare the game now, it's like night and day. The game is so different today. But the same things still matter. In order to have a chance to win it all you need elite QB play, you need a strong o-line and you need a defense that can rush the passer, stop the run and create some turnovers.

We just aren't a complete enough team right now to make a SB run. I don't think Tampa is that kind of team either. We can win this one, I wouldn't be surprised either way if we won or lost.

We definitely aren't a complete team. But even with all the holes we have, still went 12-5. We have 3 very important pieces in place, Owner, GM, & QB. You could make a valid argument for 4, if you add Quinn.

We would have to go on an EPIC run to even make the Super Bowl this year. But starting next year, playing to make the Super Bowl is the expectation imo.

I prefer to take each game as it comes now. I mean, it's tight in the NFC and even the teams that essentially squeaked into the playoffs (TB & LA) are going to be tough opponents, so you can't even know who will be there in rd2 aside from the Lions. Too soon to talk SB.

But we are a different team to when we first faced the Buccs. With our trajectory we should be favourites, however slight. If the OL holds up I expect a win, 27-21.

[Giantone]

IMO I think Washington wins, your season has not been what was expected and you hit gold with Daniels. You go into that stadium with a nothing to lose attitude and I think you win.

I keep going back to the opener, we didn't look like we even belonged on the same field. Now we are not the same team we were in Game 1. But we are also not the same team we were in October. This offense is not nearly as productive, nobody wants to discuss the infamous KK drop off but it appears to have happened again in Washington. Baker is inconsistant but if he's on he is pretty tough to beat. I don't see how this defense stops the Bucs for 4 quarters and I'm not sure our offense can keep up.


Sorry that's just the way I see it. But at 12-5 and still playing they could lose 100-2 and I'd have no complaints.

This is not the same team as week 1. TB's blitz was effective and caused JD to miss opportunities that were there in week 1. Since then though, JD is a top 5 QB in the league against the blitz. If he's healthy, and we have some sort of running game outside of the QB position, we have a good shot.
