They sky isn't falling just yet, but it's hanging low. The Saints game is going to be a tough one. (Underestimating comment of the year!) I had figured we'd win one of these two games (Vikings, Saints) and go into the Thanksgiving game against the Giants at 5-5. But now, very likely heading into Thanksgiving at 4-6 the way the Saints are playing. Then again, none of us saw the Redskins beating the Seahawks in Seattle, with all of our guys hurt, so I'm sticking with the "Any Given Sunday" mantra.

Even if we're 4-6 after next weekend, we're staring down a very light schedule. The Cowboys will be without Elliot, and we saw what happens when they don't have Zeke in there. We have the Giants twice, the Broncos, the Cardinals, Chargers, and Falcons. Am I missing anybody? If any team that is 4-6 by the end of next week has a chance to end at 10-6, it's these Redskins. All, very winnable games. Sure, likely scenario is they go 8-8, which honestly, will probably wind up being a pretty good achievement considering the injuries to all of our key players and our brutal first half schedule.
