The playoffs seem comical to me this season, not just from the Skins point of view but for the league in general. From a fans standpoint, NE has the league by its tail. Only an injury to Brady could keep NE from another SB title IMO. The NFC will send GB or Dallas to the SB to be handily defeated by NE or, on the outside chance, by Indy. Essentially, the AFC has two teams superior to anything in the NFC. I completely sick of watching the Pats dominate everybody and the AFC dominating the NFC. Sure, Belichick and the NE franchise deserves respect for putting together a dreamteam under the same set of opportunities and constraints all teams face. But I'm still sick of it.

Finally, for the Skins a playoff berth means we must have won a few more games, which just mean lower draft picks for what in all likelihood would be a first-round playoff loss in an away game. Not really worth it IMO but hey, that's just me. Nobody really expected this to be a rebuild year but that's just how things worked out. We need some tremendous talent in the draft to shore up a creaky o-line, an enervated WR corp, probably a DB (w/ Springs on his way out), and now (RIP ST) a safety. Sometimes I get pegged for being a pessimist for looking at the season this way but I can't help thinking further into the future and what it will take to make this team competitive again. The playoff berth in '07 doesn't do much good toward that goal.
