  4. Commanders are good and will improve but let’s be real, fully or almost healthy, they are not better than Detroit, Ravens, Bills, Chiefs, Rams. I would put them top 10 but not 5.

  7. Care less about eagles. I care about us period. Detroit has a very good team too. Rams only one play away if center forgot to block

  9. Upgrades to oline (better protection, easier decision making on running), WR (Samuels better than Dyami at what they do, Noah B healthy and Gallup competing), Daniels and others second season with same offense, and I expect drafting a RB and WR/TE in draft will all translate to Daniels being better. As far as schedule, others have minimized the teams we beat last year (Bengals, Cards, etc) when they were good when we beat them. With the exception of the Eagles who made pretty much everyone look bad by the playoffs, we played competitively in almost every game, and hung with most of them. Injuries hurt us as well as turnovers, and the run game not named Daniels was horrible last half of the season, I look for us to draft a starting RB to supplant BRob. The oline upgrades should also help here. In the end, this is just season 2; and while I expect AP to keep improving the team and replacing aging vets with youngsters by year 3, I also expect KK to be gone next offseason.
    On defense we have upgraded at several positions; CBs replacing Forbes, BSJ, and Michael Davis, Harris replacing Chinn, Kinlaw replacing Allen, Magee, Lattimore, and Owens healthy; I also expect us to draft a starting DE unless we add a true starting DE via FA, as well as a starting (maybe not at start of season) CB or S, and should see improvement against the run that was seriously lacking last season.
    I therefore don't see Daniels or the team with a "sophomore slump", Daniels will be competing for MVP, and competing for a playoff run, but expecting to get back to a Conference game or SB might be asking a bit much. That doesn't mean the season will be disappointing or a step back. Only 2 teams out of 16 get to the conference game. The long-winded point being I don't believe the second place schedule makes much of a difference against the improvements made and expected. All teams in a division play the same teams of the other divisions scheduled (NFC North, AFC West), plus NFC East opponents won't be easy, and on paper are harder than last year, but we played the division winners of several divisions; Lions, TB twice, Eagles 3 times, and Ravens. Split with TB and 1-3 against Eagles while beating Lions and staying competitive with Ravens. We also played and beat other good teams while under a new system and experimenting almost the entire season at CB, returners, and K along with injuries that depleted the oline and dline, RB and WR, and…JD playing hurt for a significant time that effected his play; especially his ability to run at will.

  13. Tougher schedule. But don't expect if they do actually improve their defense and offense they may not have to win so many last minute games. They will not be in those situations this year.

  16. I don’t know why everybody tripping, but WASHINGTON always play Philadelphia strong ,and the only REASON why the playoff game was LOPSIDED cause turning the ball over. Miss me with all this shit.
