Skins On Track for 7-9
After the well-earned slaughter by Filthadelphia on national TV, the Skins' remaining games are Titans, Vikings, Pig Giants, Bucs, Cowgirls, Jags and Pig Giants.
Of these 7, there are 3 the Skins won't win: both Pig Giants games and the one with the Bucs. Those two teams have significantly better records than the Skins. Then there are 2 they should win: the Vikes and the Cowgirls, who have worse records than the Skins. Finally there are 2 the Skins might win: the Titans and Jags, whose records are roughly comparable to the Skins.
To finish 7-9 as the consensus preseason prediction was for the Skins, they need to win 3 of the 4 remaining games that they both should and could win.
So if they go 3 for 7 for the rest of the year, that is a winning percentage of 43%. Oddly enough, going 7 for 16 over a whole season also gives you 43%. And how are you doing at 4 for 9, as they are today? They're at 44%.
Pretty hard not to detect a pattern here….

The pattern I am detecting is that the dreadskins continue to suck mightily under the Snyder ownership - regardless of coach, players, GM, cheerleaders, ball boys, office personnel, or grounds crew.
Quite so.
"If Dan Snyder really loved the Redskins, wouldn't it have made more sense for him to have bought the Cowboys and run that franchise into the ground?" -- Jeff Brown, quoted in Norman Chad's "Couch Slouch" column in the Washington Post
Lisa Jones acutely observed, "Jerry Jones already had that covered."
Maybe Jones and Snyder could trade franchises, like Irsay and Rosenbloom did so long ago. Which of the modern pair would you bet on to get drowned by the Mafia?
