Just one playing in a bad conference. Granted that's changing but we're still a work in progress.

Completely wrong to call the Redskins a bad team. If we were bad we'd be picking in the top 10. If we were mediocre we'd be picking 11-21. And if we were good we'd be picking 22-32.

As Bill Parcells famously put it, you are what your record says you are.

We have holes, but we also have strengths. When teams line up against us we negate a lot of pass rushers with the strength of our tackles. We have a deep threat in Jackson that can win often. And Reed took a step forward towards being downright uncoverable last year.

I would use the term 'decent'. The Redskins are decent. Whether we go up or down from here depends mostly on the right arm of Kirk Cousins.
