This Year's Sleeper

[Big Red]

Who is it? I am thinking the Redskins. I am impressed with the collection of talent they have amassed. Their GM, Scot Mccloughan, once held the same title with the 49ers and was largely responsible (Mike Nolan, too) for the roster during the last playoff/super bowl run.

I think they win the NFC East and challenge for the NFC title. Perhaps a super bowl bid.

And what a fucking blood bath it would be to see two teams that play similar styles of ball go up against one another; Carolina at Washington MNF December 19th.

Red,

I don't want to commit to these as sleepers in the sense that they potentially challenge deep into the playoffs, but considering division schedules and rosters, Buffalo and maybe the Raiders and Dolphins in the AFC? If the Chiefs do well, I don't see them as sleepers. Again, pure speculation and opinion.

Solid arguments can be made for all of those teams. Washington has a super talented roster. That, coupled with last years success, might thrust them into serious contenders. I've gots my hunch. Ciao.
