5. The Reality Is, Haskins, Guice, McLaurin and….Tress Way are pretty much the only things worth watching the rest of the season.

Guice and Haskins will have to arm-wrestle over the football from their mutual first career touchdown from last week. And McLaurin put on a show in the final possessions with several big catches, none bigger than the incredible “Mossing” he produced along the sidelines on a ball that looked like an interception.

If these three reach their ceilings, the Redskins offense will have real potential in the years to come.

At the same time, Tress Way’s consistent excellence the last season-and-a-half deserves to result in a Pro-Bowl berth. It would be a shame if beaten-down Redskins fans failed to do their part to vote him in. It’s really refreshing to watch someone do their job so well week in and week out, and I’m pulling for him to get his due with a Pro Bowl nod.

The Redskins’ opponent isn’t exactly a juggernaut this week, so anything could happen, but any fan predicting a win has to be banking on the law of averages as opposed to anything they’re seeing or hearing from this team that would indicate they’re close to putting together a complete game competently enough to secure victory.

Next. The Redskins are now officially irrelevant. dark

My Prediction: Lions 24, Redskins 17. But #HTTR anyway!
