More than any other game this season, tomorrow's game against the Giants will determine whether the Redskins get universal respect from football "experts."

I've read columns saying how the Redskins are mere "pretenders" and are the worst team in the NFC East. These naysayers claim that we won two games against teams that beat themselves (the Cowboys and Seahawks), two games against awful opponents (the Bears and 49ers), and lost two games against quality opponents (the Chiefs and Broncos). If we lose to the Giants by more than a touchdown, there are going to be an awful lot of experts saying that our record of 4-2 is simply a mirage.

Conversely, if we beat the Giants by more than a touchdown, we will become the team to beat in the NFC East. We will have gone into a tough stadium, against a tough and respected team, and beat them when they are "hyped up."

Trust me, tomorrow's game will determine how "experts" view us for quite some time.
