4 weeks ago I doubted. I said the Redskins weren't good enough to replicate their 2005 run to the playoffs. I thought the Giants would beat the Redskins and the BTEIAS (Best Team Ever In Any Sport, i.e. New England Patriots) would easily get to 16-0. Well I was partially right, as the Patriots made it to 16-0 but the Redskins made it into the playoffs with a 4 game winning streak.
I'll discuss the BTEIAS later... for now it's all about the Redskins.
Frankly, I wasn't all that surprised that the Redskins beat the Giants and Vikings, but I was a bit worried about the Cowboys. It seemed too easy. The Cowboys had nothing to play for and that just meant the Redskins could have relaxed, enough to lose it in a close one at the end.
I'm willing to believe all of the "Joe Gibbs does his best amid adversity" talk, but I do so for the same reasons as I believe the "Penguins will somehow, someway always best the Caps" idea. It makes no sense to me, but I believe it because I see it.
