1) The Redskins are currently 4-4. Do you feel this is a better team than their record shows?

“That’s a hard question to answer. The Redskins are both lucky and unlucky to be a 4-4 team. At times, they have performed as one of the best teams in the NFC and at other times, they look like a rebuilding squad. But one thing is certain. Injuries have taken a toll on the Redskins.

Throughout the year, Washington has dealt with numerous injuries across their team. Just a week ago, they had a whopping 23 players listed on their initial Wednesday practice report. It was insane bad luck for the team, but they appear to be getting healthy now. Particularly notable is the fact that their offensive line, which was missing as many as four starters in the past couple of weeks, is getting back to full strength.

To fully answer the question, the Redskins are a 4-4 team and that is probably the right mark for them at this point in the season. However, when fully healthy, they have the potential to be one of the top teams in the NFC. They will continue to fight for a playoff spot provided that they can keep their stars on the field down the stretch of the season.” – Jacob Camenker
