Redskins fans, sign up HERE to join FanPulse.This week, the Tampa Bay fans, whose team is averaging 28.6 points per game and playing at home, and who just watched the Redskins get stomped on at home by the Falcons... those Tampa Bay fans are predicting a 1-point loss to the Redskins.Redskins fans agree about the outcome, as they have predicted a 3-point win on the road against the struggling NFC South team.With two straight losses, and the only win since Week 2 coming against the Browns, Bucs fans have understandably had their confidence shaken after starting the season hot with wins against the Saints and Eagles.That seems a lifetime ago.In the past six games, Tampa Bay has undergone two quarterback changes on the way to a 1-5 record, yet they boast the leagues top passing offense and 2nd ranked offense overall, coming in 8th in points per game.Ryan Fitzpatrick is driving a scoring machine, while Alex Smith is mostly handing the ball off to Adrian Peterson.Photo by Patrick Smith/Getty ImagesIn the Redskins’ 5 wins this season, Peterson is averaging 112 yards on the ground Authentic Mason Foster Jersey , while Alex Smith is averaging 199 yards through the air. The Redskins are ranked 25th in the league, scoring just 20 points per game.On the face of it, Tampa Bay looks to be 8 or 9 points better than the Redskins, and two other high-powered passing attacks from the NFC South — the Saints and Falcons — combined to hand the Redskins 2 losses by a combined score of 81-33.Neither game was pretty for Redskins fans.It would appear that the only hope for the Redskins in this contest is to figure out what they couldn’t against New Orleans and Atlanta — how to stop a highly productive passing attack.The Redskins hold a one-game lead in the NFC East, having won 5 close contests while losing in two blowouts.The result is that the first-place Redskins have scored 160 points on the season, while their opponents have tallied 172.The Buccaneers have posted a total of 229 points this season, but their 3-5 record and last-place standing in the division owes to the 275 points the team has surrendered to its opponents.This game will come to a battle of strength-on-strength and weakness-on-weakness.The Tampa Bay high-powered passing game and high scoring offense will come up against the stingy Washington defense.The winner of that battle will have a huge impact on the eventual winner of this game.However, the anemic Bucs defense will be pitted against the largely ineffectual, and certainly low-scoring, Redskins offense.Can the ‘Skins put up enough points to get out of Florida with a win?This is, in many ways, a bizarre matchup that is difficult to predict. The Redskins are reeling from a bad home loss and multiple injuries that leave them with a makeshift offensive line with at least one starter this week having been signed in the past 5 days (where have I heard that before)?The Tampa Bay team is reeling from 5 losses in the past six games, after getting out to a fantastic start against the preseason favorites to win the NFC South and East divisions.Jonathan Dyer-USA TODAY SportsIf Fitztragic shows up and throwsinterceptions while AD carries the ball 26 times for over a hundred yards, it could be a Redskins victory.But if the Buccaneers have early success with some big plays (Desean Jackson would love to put up a TD or two against the Redskins Youth Jamison Crowder Jersey , I’m sure), and Alex Smith is forced to try to come from behind by passing for over 300 yards, it could be another ugly blowout loss to yet another NFC South team.With the Eagles and the Cowboys playing the Sunday night game, the Redskins really need to put this game in the win-column, which means they probably need to get on the scoreboard early and find a way to disrupt Ryan Fitzpatrick and force him to make mistakes.Brad Mills-USA TODAY SportsTwo fan bases looking for a reason to believe Jordan Reed has two fewer bones and a whole lot of peace of mind.Toe soreness in offseason workouts more than a year ago became lingering pain that threw off everything for the Washington Redskins tight end. Overcompensation led to a hamstring injury that kept Reed off the field, and he never felt like himself even when he was able to play.So Reed went under the knife twice to have a sesamoid bone in each big toe removed. Reed now feels "100 times better" and hopes his toe injuries are a thing of the past so he can get back to his form of 2015, when he had 87 catches for 952 yards and 11 touchdowns."It's definitely a relief," Reed said Friday. "Just having that nagging pain for two years was awful and now it's gone, so it's just a lot better."Reed said toe fractures gave him little choice but to have the surgeries, one on his left foot in December and the other on the right in February. They've so far worked out far better than his decision to get a stem-cell injection in the summer of 2017 that aggravated his toe problem so much he couldn't walk.That self-described "poor decision" completely derailed Reed's season, limiting him to 27 catches in six games. He tried orthotics in his shoes to ease the pain, but nothing worked, leading to an operation that's more common for dancers and exceedingly rare for the general public."That's usually kind of like the last stop on the train," said Mark Drakos Josh Norman Jersey , a foot and ankle surgeon at Hospital for Special Surgery in New York. "They're very little bones. They're about the size of like a Peanut M&M, so they're very, very small. Most bones, if they break or they don't heal, we'll go in and fix them with plates and screws of if you break your ankle, we put it back together. These are so small that a lot of times we just take it out because it's quicker. It's a quicker recovery."Reed is well past the usual eight-to-12-week recovery period and has looked sharp in individual and team drills early in camp. Just having him on the field again is a plus for the Redskins, who need the 28-year-old to create matchup problems for opposing defenses."He is a unique guy at the tight end position that can do so many things: route-running with the ball in his hands after the catch," new quarterback Alex Smith said. "He is oftentimes the guy that it doesn't really matter who's lined up against him — linebacker, safety, corner. He is a guy that I think has the skill set to win against all these positions."Coach Jay Gruden, who early in camp a year ago didn't think Reed's toe injury would be a long-term concern, is hopeful now because, as he put it, "I have to be.""I think he's one of the top tight ends in the National Football League when healthy Youth Chase Roullier Jersey ," Gruden said. "Last year, he tried to fight through a couple of those injuries in the offseason. He got them fixed, so hopefully we'll put an end to all those foot and toe injury things and ankle. Jordan, he feels great right now, very optimistic about the way his body feels and now it's our job to make sure we just progress him along at a good rate."Gruden hopes to get Reed into a preseason game or two and have him 100 percent for the season opener against Arizona. On a team with a handful of players working back from injuries, Reed is taking a conservative approach as he balances restraint with the excitement of what he could do when finally healthy again."Still working through that with the coaches and taking it slow," he said. "I'm just getting my body built back up. ... I'm confident moving forward."NOTES: Second-year LB Ryan Anderson left practice with back spasms and he's considered day-to-day. A team spokesman said RB Rob Kelley's departure was heat-related. ... LB Zach Brown was a limited participant in team drills a day after straining the quadriceps muscle in his left thigh. ... The team's afternoon walkthrough was cut short by lightning. Unlike their regular practice facility in Ashburn, Virginia, outside Washington, the Redskins do not have an indoor bubble at their Richmond site. Custom Chicago Bears Jerseys
