I would love to think the Redskins are one of the best teams in the NFC, but I think those honors go to Minnesota and Dallas right now. I don't think the Redskins are too far behind those teams, though. It's been kind of a blessing in disguise that they dropped their first two games. It's forced them to play with their backs against the wall, and that has created a very dangerous team out of the Washington Redskins.

Not only they have won 4 in a row but they have outscored their opponents 124- 53.

They very well could be sitting at 4-7 after that brutal stretch.

Pederson needs to open things up and let Jordan Matthews and Darren Sproles loose.
I say 4-6 or 5-7. I think they beat Minnesota and the giants

Yep. they are now the #1 team in the NFL in point differential at +59. One point ahead of the Pats. They've given up 20 points or more only once on the year in the Thursday Night Jets debacle.

They could have a chance at beating Green Bay.

I'll take them 3-3 through those 6. Beat the Falcons, get 1 of: Dallas/Giants and than 1 of: Vikings/Packers

Falcons will be hard to beat, as well as the Vikings. They can beat the Giants. Don't know about Seattle. Right now, Green bay is ripe for the picking. And I hate to say it, but the Cowboys are legit. However, the Cowboys are prime to get a loss soon. I still think winning three out of that six game stretch is going to be very impressive.

That is Philly problem right there. They aren't running the ball. They have had no 100 yard rusher yet this season. It's easy to defend Wentz if you remain one dimensional and it's easier to beat the oline as well. Until they learn to run, expect games like last Sunday. The fact that the Eagles either couldn't try or didn't want to is amazing to me. The Skins run defense is dead last in yards per carry in the NFL. They are 28th in yards per game. Their run defense sucks.

Even with a sucky run defense they have still won 4 straight.

I get that. What I'm saying is that Philly didn't take advantage of it. Either they didn't want to establish a ground game or they couldn't because their running backs is rivaling the Giants as the worst in the division at this point. Philly honestly isn't running on anyone. It was just a matter of time before teams caught wind to this.
