After a tough loss last week in which we had the game won but found ways to lose, we head to St. Louis to face a much improved Rams team.
I fully expect to win this game and win by at least 10 points. The Rams are improved but we are still better. Here are the keys to the game:
1. Pressure Bradford. He has been impressive so far as a rookie but he is still a rookie. We need to attack him and force him to make mistakes. I expect to get at least 2 INTs.
2. Running game has got to get going. After releasing LJ, CP is the undisputed starter and needs to perform like it. The O line also needs to help by giving holes for him to run through. I believe this will happen this week as CP runs for 100 yards.
3. McNabb needs to continue his great play. There is no reason to think otherwise but he has quickly become a leader of this team and I love that we take the shots downfield.
In the end, the Rams will hold on tough for a little while but the Skins will win 27 to 13.
HAIL SKINS!!!

I think the Redskins will win, but this is a perfect trap game. The Rams have played tough this year, but have come up short.
The Deadskins have played close in their two home games and they may feel a bit overconfident.
This is their first road test and it should be interesting to see.
Shanahan called this a trap game on the John Thompson show today. He's aware of the situation and I'm sure he has the team understanding that any game can be lost without proper preparation.
The team lost a bunch of games to teams that were supposed to be worse than the 'Skins last year. They'll be ready.
I see the running game improving this week. We'll have a more balanced attack and we'll pull out a 10 to 13 point win. I think we'll pull away in the middle of the 2nd and into the 3rd quarter and then hold off the comeback attempt.
24-13 'Skins. 2-1 baby!
