Call me a blind optimist but...

Does anyone realize that right now at 3-5 the Redskins are just 2 games back in the wildcard? The Giants are the only non division leader with a winning record at 5-3. The rest of the NFC is just as pathetic as we've been. The following teams are at 4-4, St. Louis, Detroit, Green Bay. The Cowboys, Saints, Bucs, Bears and Cardinals are also 3-5. We were a bad call away from beating the Packers & Cowboys and a Rod Gardner catch away from beating the Giants who lost to the Bears today. Our offense is still a long way from good, but if the D keeps it up and the special teams keep playing well then at least we can maybe steal a couple games and make a late push.
