“The fun will be in February when you guys are interviewing us up in Indy [at the Superbowl]. That’ll be fun. Very bold prediction. But I'm gonna stand by it.”
-Tim Hightower, Washington Redskins running back
Bold indeed from a guy who's a) hurt, b) averaging 3.5 yards per carry, and c) rapidly losing his job to Ryan Torain and/or Roy Helu. But hey, can you blame him? Four games in and 3-1, this is probably the closest the Redskins will be to the Superbowl all year. Despite the fact that this team started off the year well, they're not exactly lighting the world on fire with the strength of their wins. They've beaten the Cardinals by 1 at home, the Giants at home, and the Rams (possibly the worst team in the NFL) on the road. They lost to Dallas, probably the best team they've played. Nothing about that screams "impressive" -- they beat a bunch of asshat teams mostly at home.
Mark my words, Lunatics, the 'Skins will come crashing back to earth when they have to go on the road and/or play tougher teams. They may win 8 games this year because of a relatively easy schedule, but this team isn't going to the playoffs -- much less Indy.
