I always try to be cautiously optimistic, especially since the Skins have had limited success since the glory years of Gibbs 1.0. However, in watching the game yesterday, after Jackson returned the punt for a TD, I wasn't worried. In years' past, I would have thrown the remote across the room, cursed in several languages, and just been in a bad mood the rest of the game. But I took it in stride. And they started to chip away...and then they hit the Eagles in the mouth with a Portis-right and a Cooley-left.

I think the two biggest things to take away from this start is the halftime adjustments Zorn and the staff are making, and the late aggressiveness Zorn has in his play-calling. He's proving that he's not afraid to make the gamble, believing that his team will back him up win or lose. And I honestly think the players are buying into it hook, line and sinker.

The next 3 games are the catalyst for this team. Three extremely winnable games, but also three games that they can squander just as easily. The Rams, Lions and Browns have nothing to lose, and because of that, can be very dangerous. I'm optimistic about the Skins winning all 3, but I'm cautious that the Skins need to continue to play smash-mouth football like they have been playing. Let up, and you could see a turn for the worse...
