Another losing season

At the beginning of the season, I picked the Redskins to finish 7-9.  After the first few games, it looked like I might have been overly pessimistic.  But now, after losses to Philadelphia and Carolina, they're only at .500 and they haven't played any good teams yet; 7-9 doesn't look at all too pessimistic.  To do better, they'll have to beat four other bad teams (Dolphins, Seahawks, Giants, and Vikings); given the 'Skins history of playing down to the level of their opponents, those victories are far from assured.  In addition, they'll have to find a way to steal a game from one of the following:  Buffalo, San Francisco, Dallas, New England, Philadelphia, and the Jets.  Good luck with that.
