Reading Peter King's Monday Morning QB. In his "Things I liked" portion of the column:

- "Carolina’s defense, through two weeks: 26 points allowed, and six of those quarters were played without Luke Kuechly." Yes - and four of them were against the Blake Bortles led Jacksonville, and four of them were against the Brian Hoer / Ryan Mallet led (and Arian Foster-less) Texans. How is that more impressive than the 20 pts. allowed by Skins against Miami and Rams?

- "Aaron Donald. He has multiple “wow” plays every week, notably Sunday for throwing two linemen aside and sacking Kirk Cousins five minutes into their game." Great. How about the wow plays where he shot the gap looking for KC and M. Jones ran through his gap for 30+ yards and a TD? Or the fact that he and his linemates got run around, over and through by the Skins.

- "Nick Foles to Kenny Britt, perfectly thrown into end zone traffic. Touchdown." Did I miss the part where the Rams actually lost the game?? B/c nothing positive the Skins did made the list.

I am used to no respect as a Skins fan but, come on, a little credit would be nice.

It's one of the reasons I hope the Skins come out hard and relentless on Thursday - just to have these talking heads stop thinking of the team as a joke.
