NOw im going to preface this by saying thanks Bucky for throwing out the Jinx mojo. Any while I love the enthusiasm you show for my Redskins, might need to at least tap the breaks a little in this piece. None the less a very interesting read.
How have the Redskins turned around their franchise?
Excerpt
The Washington Redskins are on the verge of clinching the NFC East, spurred by a red-hot offense that's beginning to find its rhythm behind a sizzling quarterback (Kirk Cousins) and a pair of dynamic pass catchers on the perimeter (DeSean Jackson and Jordan Reed). Skeptics wonder if the Redskins -- 1-5 in away games this season -- can finish strong despite playing their last two regular-season games on the road, starting with this Saturday's showdown with the Philadelphia Eagles on "Thursday Night Football" on NFL Network. But I'm convinced Washington will not only win the division -- which they can do by winning Saturday -- but pose a problem for opponents in the playoffs.
I dug into the All-22 Coaches Film to discover the reasons behind the Redskins' recent offensive surge, and I've come up with three reasons to believe Jay Gruden's squad is a threat to create chaos down the stretch:
1) Kirk Cousins is thriving as the Redskins' franchise quarterback.
