The entire operation barberossa was a complet bodged pile of shit, with soldiers sent into nowhere on zig zag without supplies. (not that I reget hitler losing)
Napoleon could at least keep his shit together and reached moscow - he would have won if it wasnt torched.
No, he wouldn't. With hind sight knowledge of how the winter would turn out, Napoleon probably lost his last sliver of a chance to achieve a draw in the campaign when he failed to annihilate Kutusov at battle of Borodino.
Once he lost his chance to destroy Kutusov's army, the best Napoleon can do would be to immediately retreat to winter quarters in Poland to save his army, and effectively throwing the campaign in the proces.
