You may want to reconsider that line of thinking. Skins are 19-42 against the division since 2002. In fact, the Skins are significantly better against non-divisional foes (49-59 in that time). I've made the point before that this is an indication of apathy among the players, as the difference between those numbers shows that the Skins don't step it up against rivals (to which I was accused of looking too much into statistics...)

That being said, because this is a divisional game, the Redskins are far more likely to lose.

Interesting piece of information from SmootSmack's arch nemesis Adam Schefter:

"Redskins have lost 8 straight games vs. rookie starting QBs, the longest streak since merger in 1970, via Elias Sports Bureau."

There are so many painful stats against us.

Well, we broke the home losing streak at 8 this season...lets kill this one too.

Let's just hope that the painful stats this week are Philly's -- like 3 INTs (1 pick 6), held to less than 50 yrds rushing, and we light them up like a f_ing Christmas tree and send them into an early offseason.

There's so much to hate in the NFC East, right? The Eagles and their fans are insufferable, the Giants fans are nearly as bad (beyond just the gloating, although there's a ton of that), and Dallas is clearly the root of all evil (led by Emperor Palpatin -- seriously, has anyone taken a picture of Jerry Jones and the Emperor together? Put a hood on JJ and you'd never tell the difference.) I really don't get the sense that any other division involves these kinds of rivalries, with the exception of the AFC North -- the Steelers/Ravens/Bengals hatred is pretty real).

Foles will throw several picks and be sacked countless times. I'm not worried about a thing. This 8 game streak doesn't mean squat. If a defense can topple a veteran then it can topple a rookie.

Realistically if we win Sunday and Thursday we could easily win the division! However we have to win games!!! Giants have a bye, the ravens, and then us! We could be playing the giants for the division lead in Monday night!!! Please Redskins!!!

Robert Griffin III of Washington Redskins voted a team captain - ESPN

Hopefully this sparks the team. God damn sure could use a spark.

We are still on pace to set a record for the most yards ever given up by a defense....

I think Philly will win. Even with Foles at QB, i just don't think our defense can pressure him enough, even though he is a rookie.

This team just isn't playing well right now. I love this team, and I love RG3, but i look at our upcoming schedule and the way we've been playing, i see us winning only one more game, and that's the Cleveland game, and that's even debatable.

I still think if Shanahan loses out he will be fired. Dan Snyder is going to go back to his old ways sooner or later, he thinks in his mind that "doing things the right way" have not panned out (3 seasons worth), so he will go back to big spending, firing, hiring, etc...
