Washington was lights out. They definitely are the team playing with the hot hand going into the championship games.
The Sunday games both looked impacted by weather to me. Allen’s statistics in the cold are actually much worse than his reputation would suggest. The Rams/Eagles snow game was fun but the weather was as much of a component as the gameplay itself.
Our game is tough to get a read on. If this exact game was won in 95 we’d be praising our defense and saying our offense did enough to win. But, all of us have been conditioned to expect more from our offense and our O moved the ball and finished drives with a lot more ease against this same exact team a month prior. Eventually, whether it be against the Bills (or perhaps Washington), there’s an expectation that our offense is going to have to operate at a level it has seldom reached this season.
Either that, or we’ll need Spags to get his defense to such an elite level that we can survive without scoring a TD in five quarters of game time like we did in last year’s playoffs.
