Kyle Shanahan predicted an NFC East title a year ago Jan 2nd 2013, 14:46 In the past few days, lots of people have reveled in pointing out all the prognosticators who buried the Redskins before this season. That's a fine and worthy pursuit, but this item is devoted to the reverse: people who went out on a limb made of limp spaghetti to predict a 2012 playoff berth for the Redskins, and who were thus roundly mocked, including by me.
