About time someone at the Post said something in the negative direction about the skins! Man, I thought they'd drunk the koolaid or something.

Not that I completely disagree with Wise here, but I don't think the players have been overconfident. When asked, they said, yes, our goal is to win the superbowl, and anything else is a disapointment. But as Brunnell correctly pointed out, that should be the attitude of EVERY NFL player right now. Imagine if they said, No, we'd be satisfied with a repeat of last year?

He's right about the depth issues, especially on the o-line, and everyone is aware of the risk at QB. But whatever.

BTW, did anyone see the press conference where Gibbs got quite pissed about this issue, and totally rejected the claim that anyone had made guarantees or predictions? He said, Look at the quotes. No player said that. We don't make predictions here. He was not happy about it! Bet it was Wise who asked the question, trying to get dirt for this column...
