How many of us thought this team would be ranked in the top 1/3 of the league in December, by anyone?

Not me!

And to think if we had WRs and a slightly better IOL where could we be?

Makes me excited for the future.

Many of these rankings list the Commanders ahead of the Giants after that tie game. Although I think the Giants are the better team, it may have to do with their recent success and a slight fall while the Giants have had rolling failures and a slight rise to the tie.

That and the tie for a Giants home game...Perhaps presumption is that Washington wins that game at home.  Personally, I think home field advantage in division games is overrated.

Good point. I didn't think of that.

In terms of the Commanders being ranked ahead of the Giants, I have no issue with that. We're late in the season now, and teams will often look different in December than they did back in say early October. The Giants and Commanders are both good examples of this. In the Commanders case, they have literally lost only one of their last eight games. They have been on a great roll and have won a lot of games recently, including beating the Eagles fairly comfortable in Philly on national television.

The Giants on the other hand have been reeling, going 1-3-1 in our last five.

If my goal is to be 100% objective, I would put the Commanders above us too right now, personally.
