That ol' Skins hater Dr. Z had a little bit of pride swallowing to do in his preseason predictions...
"Just about topsy turvy. The consensus agreed with my own order of finish -- Eagles at 10-6, Cowboys at 10-6, with a wild-card berth, Giants at 5-11, Redskins at 4-12. It could wind up exactly the reverse. If you're gonna be wrong, I say, be good and wrong. I couldn't understand why Joe Gibbs was sticking with an obviously washed up Mark Brunell. That stubbornness, I believed, was going to land the Skins right in the division cellar, kerplop! It didn't occur to yours truly that perhaps Gibbs was right when he said that Brunell's problems last year were strictly physical, and he'd be just fine when he got healthy. What did he know, right?"
