No matter who we bring in, we still suck. And I mean we suck bad. Right now, this team is no better than they were under Zorn. The shit's 'fn' embarrassing. You guys that live in Redskins country think you have it bad, try being a displaced Redskins fan.
I'm starting to believe we're an NFC WEST team playing in the NFC EAST. IMO, we don't deserve to he in the NFC EAST. This team is disgracefully bad. And yeah, they're gonna get smoked by the Cowboys.

DM72, a while back I posted a similar thread, in which I compared the Redskins' winning divisional winning record in the last ten years against the Cowboys, Giants, and Eagles. As you can imagine, the Skins were very much at the bottom; no big surprise there. What was surprising, however, was the Redskins non-divisional record vs. the other NFC East teams. In that case, the Skins' winning percentage was much closer to the other teams, and in fact, very comparable to the Giants and Eagles. Whether the statistics mean anything or not (and I'd like to re-research them, but I just don't feel like putting in the effort), the fact is that for 10 years the Redskins have, on average, sucked against their divisional rivals. While the other teams step up, the Redskins seem to step down. At least the statistics support that conclusion; whether or not you want to read into them like that is up to you.
The most frustrating thing of course is that the East is the most intense division in football. In no other division do the teams and their fans have as much animosity for all of the other teams in the division as the teams in the NFC East do. And when you're the doorstop of the division for ten years, it just becomes un-f***ing-bearable.
