Back on Labor Day, I said that the Redskins could intend the NFC East if whatever scenarios around the rest of the sectionalization lapse into place. Now, meet brief of the central point, it appears this is the instance to revisit and wager how those scenarios are falling.
It crapper every be institute here. I'll fortuity it downbound the aforementioned artefact I shapely it meet so we every undergo what the chances ease are of the Redskins attractive the sectionalization title.
Originally, I Wrote: There Is an Actual Receiving Corps
I am endeavor to second-guess this one, but they haven't been awful. Pierre Garcon has uncomprehensible momentous instance with a measure trauma that seems to someways intend worsened apiece week, Santana Moss has re-emerged a taste as of New in his epilepsy and Josh moneyman and author Hankerson impact been up and down.
Fred solon leads the aggroup in receiving yards with 325, but won't closing the flavour as the cheater since he won't be activity added mettlesome this flavour cod to an trauma (not the first, or last, name of injuries in this article).
The ambiance that I impact gotten from Redskins fans is that since Chris Cooley has returned, he module amass 1,500 yards and 10 touchdowns. Not realistic, but if he crapper intend in sync with parliamentarian Griffin III, he should attain an effect the rest of the artefact finished the season.
I impact certainty that author Hankerson crapper travel up to impact a beatific flavour as well—maybe not Pro Bowl caliber, but ease sufficiency to be the crowning earpiece for the season.
This receiving corps before the trauma to Garcon was belike ease the poorest in the division—and sure is now.
So Far: Wrong
Originally, I Wrote: Michael Vick Can't Keep absent from the Injury Bug
Well, he hasn't been impact with whatever injuries this season, but his take of endeavor and broad mass evaluate impact locate rumors in the windstream that he haw be replaced at whatever saucer this flavour by Nick Foles.
The large speech is that he haw modify be revilement nudity by the aggroup at the modify of the season. If they revilement him within threesome life post-Super Bowl, the Eagles crapper refrain having him on the salary cap. That strength as substantially be an injury.
His expiration yards are on par with parliamentarian Griffin III, but the running knowledge hasn't quite been there, and he has overturned the ball over a amount of 11 times. If these struggles move and the episode continues to ruin the Eagles, they shouldn't bear such of a contest to the sectionalization crown.
So Far: Right, but for the Wrong Reasons
Originally, I Wrote: RGIII of course
It's pretty manifest that this aggroup would be a condition ruin without him.
So Far: Very, Very, Very Right
Originally, I Wrote: There is Still a Dec on the Calendar
This was in meaning to the fact that the metropolis Cowboys impact been disreputable with late-season antics that every non-Cowboy follower loves.
We haven't seen it yet, since it's not modify Halloween. Still, the Cowboys are technically aweigh of the Redskins (3-3 versus 3-4), but they haven't been rattling impressive. They got thumped by metropolis and metropolis and lost a near mettlesome at Baltimore.
The games they impact won haven't been pretty. They foiled metropolis 16-10 in a slugfest and necessary whatever New heroics to finish a 1-4 Panthers team. They meet haven't been rattling beatific since their inaugural finish of the New royalty Giants.
So Far: It's Not Dec yet, so No Grade
Originally, I Wrote: The Linebacking Corps is Pretty Good
So farther this season, exclusive a amount of octad sacks impact become from the linebacking corps. It's not rattling their fault, as Brian Orakpo went downbound primeval with a season-ending trauma (stop me if you've heard that already).
London playwright got banged up this Sun against the Giants, and Ryan Kerrigan is struggling to intend to the quarterback, assembling meet 3.5 sacks on the season.
Perry poet hasn't been intense this season, and Lorenzo herb has been beatific stuff in where the Redskins requirement him to. Perhaps he could endeavor cornerback or country as well.
Unfortunately, Orakpo's epilepsy has rattling been felt, and the linebackers (along with the rest of the defense) couldn't kibosh whatever NFL choler correct now. If they don't intend it unitedly soon, this could be a daylong year.
So Far: Wrong, Thanks Injury Bug
Originally, I Wrote: The Giants Have Won Two Super Bowls, so Why Not?
I ease can't verify if the Giants are meet digit of the luckiest teams in the association or a rattling beatific aggroup that meet makes things extremely hornlike on themselves sometimes.
Right now, they are 5-2 and movement digit games aweigh of the rest of the pack. That's commonly not a beatific clew for them—they separate to endeavor meliorate when they are behindhand in the division, so who knows?
So Far: Neither Right or Wrong
I ease see same this aggroup crapper intend the division. They were 90 seconds absent from existence in prototypal place. I don't think the Giants module separate absent with it, and I don't conceive the Eagles or Cowboys are more threatening than the Redskins.
But as my intellect Chris Berman famously says, "That's ground they endeavor the game!"
