And folks thought that with RGIII being healthy, the Redskins might return to 2012 form, while the Seahawks lost a number of folks in FA, thus making for a competitive game. Could have been a good storyline, actually.

But instead, it will be -- which Redskins team will show up? The team that will play hard and lose a close one, or the one that will play hard but unravel and get the crap kicked out of them on national tv (again).

I hate to say it, but I just don't see how we win this game. Unless a bunch of folks get healthy fast, the Seahawks have a collective brain fart, and we get some good bounces our way, I just don't think we're good enough to win. (Man, it pains me to write that.) It's crappy that we have that game, and then the short week before WE travel West to play AZ. I cannot believe we're staring down 1-5. But that's what happens when you lose games that you can or should win; good teams beat lesser teams consistently, and equal or better teams at least occasionally.
