"we suck, we'll be lucky to win 5 games this year..." blah, blah, blah. Fact is, we should be very disappointed by how the Skins performed today, but we have to realize some factors here:
1- The weather really messed with us.
2- Our injuries are piling up so much we are having difficulty recovering.
3- Our normally great players are not coming through for us, in particular, Moss.
4- It's VERY hard to win at Lambeau.
5- We're still 3-2, and only the Cowboys, Packers, Panthers and Bucs have a better record than we do in the NFC right now.
We'll be fine everyone...9-7 teams can and will make the playoffs (possibly 8-8 teams) so all we need to do is win 6 out of the next 11 games. (I'm already counting an Arizona win, so really we only need to win 5 out of our next 10 after the Arizona win) Even with our injuries, we can play .500 ball. By season's end, our injuries won't be as bad, and should have Thomas back.

I think you hit the nail on the head with the weather comment. It looked nasty as hell there. The way Moss, Portis, and the Beast ST played says a lot about how the weather effected this team. Moss doesn't drop passes (Many of them) that hit his hands, Portis's fumble was legit, he had the ball secured, and ST dropping those INT's simply doesn't happen. We will bounce back.
And I, am very glad I calmed down before posting on here.
