Hate to go that route this early in the season, but definitely could be. Watched part of the Cowboy/Charger game, it was strange. Cowboys are not good.

Yeah, it seems to me that every team in the NFC East is below average compared to other teams.
NY Giants are a dumpster fire, the Eagles stink, the 'Skins are horrible especially defensively and the Cowboys are not as good as their 2-2 record. This division is awful!
Giants are surprising this year! I thought the 'skins might start out slow as RGIII gained his footing/confidence but not the way they have looked. Cowboys to me are always over hyped and over rated.

The strange thing to me is that all the pundits on ESPN and such have been talking about Griffin and his knee being the issue but in my opinion, the defense is what's been the problem so far... The defense has been horrid.. much worse than Griffin and the offense. This has been one of the worst defenses I've ever seen, not counting today.
Ugly win... but hey, it's a win! With everyone else losing in the NFC East today, the 'Skins are right back in it.
This division may be the worst division in the NFL this year, anyone disagree?
yea, its bad.. probably the worst in the league right now but we still got 12 games to play so who knows. 7-9 is looking better every week. I say the team that fares the best within the division probably takes it.. and each team has only played 1 division game so far..

a win is a win....ill take it. but damn man, our struggles continue. offensive line is horrible, Redskins are 2nd in the league in drops, Griffin still making poor decisions at times.
and even.though we faced a Raiders team without Pryor and Mcfadden, our defense looked good for the first time this season.
oh....and please get Chris Thomson outta there on returns. hes AWFUL.
The defense still has not figured out how to tackle. They're making third string running backs look like pro bowlers. I'm mostly looking at the linebackers - what has happened with London Fletcher? He used to be automatic on tackling, now he just plain sucks.
However, there are some bright sides to the defense. Orakpo and Kerrigan are looking like a pretty scary duo. Kerrigan has been THE best player on defense, hands down. Orkapo seems to get injured every single game, but at least he's coming back in and playing through it. While David Amerson will continue to go through his rookie growing pains, he's definitely turned it up a notch or two in the past couple of games. That pick six was pretty sweet, and the dude has the speed. He just needs to learn to limit those rookie mistakes, and I think we'll be OK with him. So far, I can't really complain about Hall. He's been pretty solid this year - it's really been the linebackers, and Rambo in the secondary, that's put a hurting on the defense. Rambo is benched and we're getting Jackson and Jenkins back after the bye. Hopefully the defense will figure it out by the Dallas game.
Robert Griffin III looks very ordinary out there. It was almost as if his second year and his rookie year switched places. He's made a lot of mistakes this year, bad throws, doesn't know how to slide, etc...but he seems to be more comfortable in the hurry up, so I'm glad Kyle implemented the hurry up in their regular offense. I hope they keep doing that. I'm also hoping Alfred Morris' rib injury is not serious, but at least he'll have a week off to heal - the 'skins offense needs Alf!
Not really a win that makes me excited about this team. If anything, it just let's me breathe a bit easier knowing this team won't be 0-16, lol. But, if this 'skins team is better than their record states, then they should have pounded the Raiders. But, I'll take a possible chance at being in first place at 2-3 in a few weeks.
It's Cowboy week!! So, who's got the worse defense? Man, what a toss up!
Jenkins and Jackson are supposed to be back for the 'skins, so hopefully that will help plug some holes in our swiss cheese defense. I just don't see the Cowboys having as great of a day offensively as they did on Sunday. I think it's one of those deals where your football team tends to "get up" for a game that you know is going to be a very tough game to play, but I think they relax somewhat against the 'skins. I really don't know what to expect though.
