Though they have a losing record at 3-4, Washington’s football team is a strong playoff contender in the NFC East. Surprisingly the Giants have salvaged their season at 4-4 and the Eagles and Cowboys have failed to meet the hype associated with their organizations.

In Bill Callahan, the former offensive line coach and offensive coordinator of the Dallas Cowboys, the Redskins have shown great improvement in terms of their offensive line. Additionally, the addition of Joe Barry as defensive coordinator has helped the Redskins defense improve as well.

While the organization has dysfunctional leadership and often makes odd choices that sabotage their chances at success, it does appear the team has made several key moves that have given the team a chance at making the playoffs.

A weak link for the team continues to be at quarterback. Controversial choices and injuries with Robert Griffin III have left the team without a reliable leader. Kirk Cousins has done a decent job at the helm, but he is not the face of the franchise’s future.

Despite a poor track record with veteran talent, if the positive changes within the organization persist, Matt Stafford could find a home with Washington’s football team and help them reverse their losing, self-sabotaging ways.
