Expectations for the rest of the season...

[SirLK26]

Welp, here we are at the bye with a record of 3-6. There've been plenty of disappointments so far: Griffin's injury, the usual Redskins BS drama, being blown out by the Giants on TNF, Orakpo, etc. But there have been some positives as well: beating the Cowboys on MNF with our 3rd string QB, the emergence of Breeland, Robinson, and to a lesser degree Amerson, DJax's beast of a season, and the special teams' improvement(yeah, well, I wanted to list as many highs as lows, so I had to reach a little, don't judge me).

But aside from all that, the facts are the facts, and we have 3 wins through 9 games. I predicted a 7-9 record before the season started, and unfortunately that may have been a bit optimistic. Remaining games are vs. Tampa Bay, at San Francisco, at Indianapolis, vs. St. Louis, at the NY Giants, vs. Philadelphia, and vs. Dallas. If recent history can tell us anything, it's that there is a good chance we'll close out the season with only two more wins. That's what I see realistically, but maybe we can squeak another one in there somewhere and finish 6-10. That would still be a solid improvement over last year.

But who knows... maybe the RG3 that made Redskins fans everywhere believe comes out after the bye and we win 7 straight. Or maybe we crash and burn, losing every game from here on out, leading Snyder and Allen to fire Gruden, promote Haslett to HC, sign Carson Palmer to a 5 year deal worth 110 million, and... give Redskins fans everywhere hope again?

What sayeth the mob?
