There are two big things that NFL teams cannot control that help form their destiny: 1) Injuries, and 2) Schedule.
For instance, did you know that the 2009 New England Patriots are the first NFL team to face undefeated opponents in 5 consecutive games? Impressive.
After losing to the Giants in the opener here is the Redskins schedule
Rams (0-4)
Lions (0-3)
Bucs (0-4)
Panthers (0-3)
Chiefs (0-4)
So, barring a Win by the Chiefs vs. Dallas this weekend, the Redskins will have played FIVE consecutive teams with ZERO Wins.
Six if you count the Giants in the opener, who at that point had not won a game.
