With the Redskins on an early bye, this week offers an empty space in the otherwise weekly routine of the 17-week season akin to a missing tooth that draws you to explore the gap with your tongue again and again despite the fact that there’s nothing there.
Redskins fans this weekend are reduced to two pastimes — looking for intriguing matchups in the Week 3 schedule, and rooting against our divisional foes. Unfortunately, none of our divisional foes look like definite underdogs in their Week 3 matchups, allowing Redskin fans the opportunity to see our team advance in the divisional standings even as the players themselves relax on the beach in Cabo.
