3. The Reality Is, the Redskins have beaten three bad quarterbacks so far this year.

Let’s face it. Kyle Allen is bad. The combination of 75% Josh Rosen and 25% Ryan Fitzpatrick is bad. And Jeff Driskel is bad. When the Redskins have faced competent quarterback play this year, they have lost. When they have faced bad, but efficient, quarterback play this year, they have lost. They nearly lost to the Dolphins when Fitzpatrick put together one good quarter. Aaron Rodgers is not bad. A healthy Aaron Rodgers may not be capable of playing as bad as the quarterbacks the Redskins have beaten this year.

My Prediction: The Redskins have weirdly played well against Rodgers the last two seasons, and they will do so again on Sunday. The defense will hold up their end of the bargain against the Packers this week.
