Redskins in the Playoffs

Tomorrow starts the playoffs for football and one major surprise is that the Redskins are in the playoffs and have the home field advantage over the Packers, definitely not what anyone expected going into the season.  First off no one expected the Redskins to be contenders in the NFC East especially with Kirk Cousins at the helm and the way the season started.  Yet the second half of the season Kirk Cousins exploded and since Week 7, Cousins lead the NFL in completion percentage (72.4), yards per attempt (8.7) and touchdown-to-interception ratio (23 TDs, three INTs).  This guy is peaking at the right time and the Redskins do have a chance of winning this game and advancing to the second round of playoffs and maybe even to the NFC Championship game.  Honestly I wouldn't rule out the Redskins right now even though they are an 9-7 team.  They have the fire right now and they are peaking at the right time.

Now the Redskins are playing the Packers who are a historically good team and they do have Aaron Rodgers who is phenomenal and one of the best quarterbacks in the league right now. Unfortunately the Packers are on a two game losing streak and have been falling apart slightly the past few weeks. Now this game is up to anyone and I honestly can't predict how the game will go tomorrow.  It can go either way though I have to give the slight edge to the Redskins right now but the Packers will bring it and I expect this to be a great game tomorrow.

I hope you enjoy this post and will keep following my love affair with sports.
