They are at the top of their game right now, and are getting BJ back.
On a side note, the Redskins will be having a one year anniversary ceremony of Sean Taylor's death before the game. This could be taken one of three ways.
Scenario 1: The Redskins will get emotional before gametime and come out playing in Taylor's memory and play extremely well.
Scenario 2: The Redskins will get emotional before gametime and come out not as intense as they should and the Giants will wipe the floor with them.
Scenario 3: The ceremony will have no effect on the team.
Scenario 3 is easily the least plausible, as remembering the death of a teammate and friend is sure to draw some emotions to the surface for everybody. If you look at last season, after the Sean Taylor memorial service shortly after his death, the Redskins were fired up and won out the rest of the season to sneak into the playoffs. Likewise, after Giants owner Wellington Mara passed away in 2006, the Giants dominated the Skins 36-0 in his memory. When games closely follow tragic events like this, it tends to bring the team together and they play well. However, a year removed from the tragedy, I do not think the same can be said. I believe Scenario 2 will prove to be the correct one and the Skins will get pummeled in this game.
