I'm sure it could, but this team isn't going to close out the season at 8-1. Call me a bad fan, or whatever. Apparently we're not watching to same football team...

Some are just holding out more hope than others, that's all.

The thing is that we are going to see a completely different team post bye week. It could be better, or I guess it could be worse. But I think different can only be good at this point.

Don't forget who we were supposed to be preseason. We definately have the talent to be that team, we are just that team plus a bunch of problems right now.

We play 4 of our final 6 games at home. The road games are quite winnable ones at St Louis and New Orleans, who probably can't be expected to play at a high level the whole season. So I guess the key to the season is to get to 5-6. Sound Familiar?

like we saw a completely different team after preseason? brunell's not changing, so all that's really available for change is the scheme (which needs change, since it's so fscked right now).

bring back shotgun and audibles, don't completely give up on the run after 6 carries. stop being predictable. give the OL TE help when they need it. these are things that should have been done in preseason though, not week 8. oh yeah, i forgot, we don't use preseason.

The 2-5 team from this season is nothing like the 5-6 team from last season. Last year, Washington lost several games by a touchdown or less. The only game they got stomped last season was the first Giants game. This year, three of the five losses have been by double digits. A bye week isn't going to magically fix anything.

The margin of loss is true, but I'm betting it's just about as improbable as last years comeback.

All I'm saying is that this division is very competitive, and although the Skins lost 2 games they should have won, you'd be foolish to count them out. They are a win away from getting the thing turned around. If the Giants are to be contested, it might as well be the Redskins that do it, since Dallas is horribly unsettled on O, and Phili has a brutal schedule down the stretch.
