Just as fan confidence is at its lowest, Washington will have to deal with a brutal schedule in the three weeks ahead: at Philadelphia, followed by home games with Green Bay and Indianapolis.

The Eagles didn't seem like an overly imposing opponent until recently, when Michael Vick got the keys and made the offense suddenly lethal. Green Bay is 2-0 going into its Monday night game with Chicago, and has looked awfully good on the way. Indianapolis rebounded from its Week 1 loss to Houston by throttling the Giants and Broncos.

Meanwhile, we don't have to tell you that Washington is struggling. With a different weakness each week, it's hard to know which team is going to show up each week.

So what will the Skins' record be after Week 6? Will they still be in the running for a playoff spot?
