While there's no denying that the Lions are consistently in the bottom third of the league, Washington doesn't do any better than hang around the middle.

I'd say they're closer than many of us want to believe.

How so? I just laid out the numbers that show just how piss poor they are in comparison to the Skins. The Skins are a middle of the pack team, I don't understand the desire by some here to lump them in with the bottom feeders of the NFL. The numbers clearly don't support that argument.
