I'm trying to think who came back from such adversity and a losing record this late to make it in, but I can't think of any team like that. Well, nobody has lost a Pro Bowl caliber player to a brutal murder that's for sure. Rebounding from a tragedy of that magnitude hasn't been done.

As far as QBs go, Hostetler did a fine job replacing Phil Simms late in the season and won the Super Bowl, but that was a much better team than the '07 Redskins.

In short, yes, we would be the Cinderella Story of the ages.
