After what has transpired today with the Giants defeating the Eagles, winning tomorrow night becomes an even bigger priority for the Redskins if they want to take charge in the division. Personally, I don't care that it's still September.
The Eagles are sitting at 1-2, Giants at 2-1. A win for us tomorrow night puts the Cowboys at 1-2 as well. We'd be sitting very nicely with a game lead on the Giants, as well as a head-to-head win against them. The Eagles would be a full two games back and beating Dallas would put them a full two back, along with a head-to-head loss mixed in there. On top of that, we'd have a head start in the division with a 2-0 record, while the Cowboys, Eagles, and Giants would still have another 5 games to play amongst each other in which they would beat each other up - benefit to the Redskins. Regardless of what the perception might be of the Redskins, the bottom line is that if they win tomorrow, and avoid a complete collapse in October and November, December will mean something for this team this coming season. However, losing and going to 2-1opens up this division entirely. It's crucial that they gain separation in the East Monday night, especially considering our track record within the division over the years.
