Next week, the Redskins are at Fedex Field to play the 1-1 Lions.While this will be a slightly easier matchup than the Packers, it will still be a tough game. The Lions so far this season have beaten the Vikings in week 1, but lost to the Cardinals in week 2. The Lions are definitely a beatable team, and if the Redskins can put together a coherent game, they present a good opportunity for the Redskins to get their first win of the year.
If we can't beat Detroit, we will have a shot in the following two weeks, when we play the Raiders, then the Cowboys. Winning this week would be key, as it will allow us to jump to 3-2 with a win in the next few easier games. If the Redskins could do that, there is a great chance they will be able to get their season back on track.
This past weekend, the Skins didn't prove they could do much. Despite a solid rushing performance by Morris, and 300 plus passing yards for RGIII, they just couldn't reach the end zone. Defensively, the Redskins were unable to stop Rodgers and his Green Bay offense. Rodgers finished the game with 480 passing yards, and Starks had 132 yards on the ground. It was, according to the Packers, the first time a team had a 400 yard passer and a 125 yard rusher in the same game.
There is comfort in the game from last weekend in that the Rodgers is capable of putting up excellent numbers against most defenses in the league. Also, towards the end of the game, it was nice to see that the Redskins do know how to get to the other side of the field, even if they don't do it that often.
The key to getting our season back on track is capitalizing on the next three games, and gaining momentum for some of the tougher games to come.
