As a Dallas Cowboys fan I never thought that I would say this, think this, or even tell the internet this, but the Washington Redskins might be a threat now. The Washington Redskins might rise from the pit of despair, disappointment, and three win seasons! It's funny because two years ago RGIII took over and delivered the Skins to the playoffs then he delivered three wins the following season. As much as it pains me, I'm predicting a Redskins comeback.
The Redskins are loaded with talent right now. Although if you don't believe me allow me to paint this picture for you. Imagine Pierre Garcon lining up on one side of the field. And on the other side of the field you have Desean Jackson. Now in the backfield you have RGIII who is always a threat to run or throw and Alfred Morris who is almost impossible to tackle alone. Add in the fact that they have new coaching and that sounds like a playoff contender.

Not only can the Redskins get in the playoffs, they can actually win the division. The NFC East couldn't be more wide open. The Cowboys have huge holes in the roster. The Giants have a interception throwing machine for a QB. And this is Nick Foles first full season. The Redskins have the most battle tested roster despite the new coach.
Although I bleed Cowboys blue I think realistically. For the first time in a while, the Redskins might not be an underdog. The Redskins won't be considered an easy win by majority of the league. The Redskins have an opportunity to go from laughing stock to powerhouse, if they play their cards right and everyone stays healthy.
The Washington Redskins haven't won a Super Bowl since 1992. Yet their loyal fans will talk to you like they are reigning Super Bowl champions. It pains me to say this everyone, but the Skins will do well. I'm predicting an 9-7 season and a NFC East division title. I'm also predicting a quick exit out of the playoffs. What do you think the Skins season is going to look like?
