I think the Skins are going to win out and here's why. The media market and the ravenous fans in DC put an unfair amount of pressure on them every year. While teams like the Colts and Pats can deal with a similar amount of pressure, they are truly superior teams (and to be fair, the Colts had to enter the playoffs as underdogs with a historically awful defense before they got over the hump). The Skins are an above average team that enters every season with championship expectations, and often underachieves resultantly.

Well that's gone now. No one is expecting anything from them. They are going to finally be able to relax and just focus on honoring their teammate the best way they can. Over the rest of the season, when people talk about the Skins talent they aren't going to be adding the obligatory "on paper."

I think some teams are really going to get blown out in the near future, and I hope Sean will be smiling about that somewhere.
