Houston doesn't have the same receiving threats that the Bucs do. The Redskins D played it safe and kept the Bucs receivers in front of them all game. Hence why I think they allowed Fitz to scramble so much. After DeAndre Hopkins (who is an elite threat at receiver), I don't think any of their receivers scare anyone (we got lucky with Fuller being out).

Hopefully the Redskins D can contain Watson the same way they contained Cam. It'd be nice to have Dunbar back, last thing I want is to see Danny Johnson or Stroman covering Hopkins.

Let me see in the last 5 seasons we have 3 wins, 4 wins, 9 wins, 8 wins, and 7 wins, yet we have guys complaining about 6-3. As Vince Lombardi used to say "What the hell is going on here?" Do note I have only been a hardcore Redskin fan since moving from Cali in 2011, but I didn't think it was always Super Bowl or bust here, this is finally a step in the right direction, stop complaining and look forward to further improvement.

I have been a hardcore fan for probably 40 years or so. It is certainly not super bowl or bust. Nobody in their right mind thinks we are or should be going to the super bowl. We all want to, but nobody really thinks or believes that. Anyway, we have had moments, 1999, 2005,2007,2012, 2015 where we “thought” we were heading in the right direction also. Last time I checked you get no recognition in the history books for starting a season 6-3. The Carolina win was our only win against a team 500 or better. In the last two weeks we got absolutely man handled by a team with a losing record and we beat another team with a losing record because they gave us the game on a silver platter. I am simply reserving judgment until I see consistently good play because no team ever has made a living out of winning like we did yesterday.
It is ok to be skeptical about this team. Given their history. Given their injuries. Given their lackluster offense. It really is.

Deandre Hopkins is 4th in the NFL in receiving yards. He has 5 TDs in the last 4 games and is on pace for 110+ receptions and 1500+ yards.

This guy is a matchup nightmare.

I'm thrilled to be 6-3, but I'm not impressed with this team. The defense is very good. They went up against the best offense in football and only gave up 3 points. They forced 4 turnovers which is impressive. Yet they gave up 500 yards of total offense and a lot of that was a result of poor tackling and being out of position. We beat them by double digits. But keep in mind we played the worst defense in the league and we could only put up 16 points? In my opinion, we need a qb change right now. Alex Smith is horrible. I don't see us continuing to win with this below average passing game.
