They didn't really gel as a team until the final 4 regular season games/playoffs last year.
This year, aside from the Cleveland speed bump, they are a machine. And they've scored 30+ in 4 straight games, and only less than 21 twice all year.
Yeah, we're better than we were last year, but we're still just as injury plagued.
This is such an important game. I hope we can overcome the odds. Hey, at least it's not a night game!

We are a better team than last year, but the injuries and to some extent the new system is hampering us greatly. The Gmen seem to be possessed and on a mission to prove that last season was no fluke and that they are indeed the best around. I agree, and that is why the odds are indeed long on the Skins eeking out a win. Also forget the emotions running high thing. Emotion can play a good part in a football game, but can't overcome a team that is solidly superior, and that is what we have here. Also we are road warriors this season. Playing at Fedex isn't like playing at RFK. The crowd might be big, but not really that intimidating.
