1. The Reality Is, this team should have beaten the Eagles in Week 1.

It may seem like light-years ago, but Terry McLaurin’s coming out party in Philadelphia in Week 1 should have set this entire Redskins season out on much better footing. If Case Keenum had been just a bit more accurate with the deep ball, Scary Terry would have had three touchdowns in a win that day, and who knows how this season would have turned out.

While entire football seasons don’t hinge on single missed plays, there certainly could have been some significantly different outcomes for this season had the Redskins held on to their 17-0 lead that day in Philadelphia.
