Could the Skins go worst to first?

The two wins against the Redskins last season could have been losses. They are not scaring anybody. The Washington Redskins will be an improved bunch this season. I think they are good enough to build on their 5-11 record and perhaps win four or five more games than they did last season. A 9-7 or 10-6 record would make them worthy of being a contender in the NFC. But even if they have a winning record at the end of a 16 game schedule, I don't expect them to be NFC East champions.

When my girlfriend was 11, she was in the owner's box in Philly. She met Andy and the owner there. Andy asked her if she had enjoyed the game. Her response was: 'Yes, but why do you look grumpy even when you win?' He grunted and told her they could have done better. I love that story. She barely remembers it, but her grandpa was there and told me the details.
