I think we should all have some cautious optimism here. We are a team w/ a new coach and a new system. We've won a few games in a row and played very well thru the majority of those games. We are not in a position to think we are that much better than many teams out there. A couple more decisive wins, then maybe. But I'm not ready to believe we are going to win the NFC East yet. The skins still have some work to do. It was a big road win but it's just one road win.
But, yes the schedule is favorable for the skins, but I still realize we are a work in progress. Hopefully we can take another step this week in Philly.

I think this is the right perspective.
You never want to go down the path of counting wins. It will just end up making you pissed off as a fan when they drop a game they are supposed to win.
Now, I feel optimistic because we have a veteran squad that has been under Gibbs for several years and Gibbs was pretty good at preaching humility and winning winnable games. I think Zorn has continued that approach so we should be in good shape.
However the claims of going '7-1' or even '6-2' are just far-fetched at this point.
How about, "I think we have a great chance of winning this Sunday at Philly!"
