My conclusion from this is that our Skins have essentially become the St. Louis Cardinals from the old days, an easy mark for our divisional rivals.

As for the root cause, I agree with Matty, and have been screaming for YEARS about Snyder ignoring the offensive and defensive lines in the draft. Our 3 divisional rivals were built from the inside out, while Snyder has insisted on building the Skins from the outside in, focusing on perimeter, "skill" players. The most glaring example was selecting Rod Gardner over Steve Hutchinson in 2001. Hutchinson, along with a young Samuels and Jansen would have been the second coming of The Hogs. We are all flash and little smash. That is why we are the weak sisters of the NFC East.
