These are professional athletes, not Pop Warner kids. There's no such thing as a moral victory. They're 3-9. They handed the Lions their first win in like 23 years. The Redskins are a terrible team. Stop propping them up just because they're in the same division as your own inconsistent (lost to Oakland! Ha!) team.
They lost to an oakland team that just went into pittsburgh and won and also beat the bengals a couple weeks ago so again I'll ask follow the NFL much? If you look at their overall schedule it's not a cake walk and again while they aren't a good team they certainly are not a crap team and slightly better then their record indicates.

As for the Eagles, they certainly are not elite, but at 8-4 tied for first in the first or second toughest division in the NFL certainly makes them a very good team despite what you may see in your uninformed view. They've lost this year to the hands down best team in the NFC the saints, under-performed and lost to a decent dallas team, oakland, and at san diego. If they were to end up losing 5 games this season considering their division the oakland game won't mean that much. Most teams end up losing to one subpar side throughout the year.
