Dude, if you didn't see a lot of heart out there from the Skins today, then you weren't watching the game. Say what you want about the D losing the game, but they came up with a HUGE 3 and out to give us a chance to win. This is a game that gives me hope as a Skins fan, even with the loss.

I know we're supposed to attack the post and not the poster, but you sir, are on crack.

No heart? We were in this til the end. I didn't see anyone rolling over. We took our shots down the field and had several nice drives. I think we moved the ball pretty well and I can only see us improving from this point on.

Wrong, wrong, and completely wrong.

Admire the spirit of this thread, but no playoffs this year. We are 3-4 against the NFC and will lose up in NYC. We will of course be mathematically alive until week 14, and then someone will put us out of our misery.

The progress of JC is exciting though, and I hope Saunders is around next year for offensive continuity. Gibbs and Greg Williams aren't inspiring a whole lot of confidence.

Twilbert07 · 11-18-2007, 09:27 PM

We're not going anywhere unless we reverse the recent trend of losing. We've lost three of four games. We need to win a game before we think of what could be.

Campbell17 · 11-18-2007, 09:10 PM

JC was terriffic, CP was getting us some yards, and even Moss showed some life, However you do have to notice that we are 1-3 in our division, where tiebreakers could make or break our season. I can only hope that we do pull it off.

GusFrerotte · 11-18-2007, 09:43 PM

Have to take this one game at a time folks. I think they can and will do it also, but we do play a tough TB team next weekend. We played great today, but we did have a typical 2nd half collapse with the D til the last drive. TB, the Giants, and another crack at Dallas isn't going to be easy. I hope we can get ST back for TB next weekend. Buffalo and Chicago are gimmes now in my book. Minnesota is a big question mark since Taylor did pretty good today for them. That should be a gimme also though.

With the skins, no game is a gimmie. We play good teams close, but we don't blow away bad teams.

Wow! The kool-aid is flowing like... kool-aid i guess. Playoffs? Playoffs? Seriously. We're dropping games left and right at this pt. I thought JC was great today, especially his poise on the big stage, but there are a lot of serious issues to work out.

rypper11 · 11-18-2007, 10:27 PM

The Lions will lose at least three more games (look at their schedule, brutal), the Eagles still face NE, Dallas, NYG and Seatle so count 2 losses. The Cards will probably only lose to the Browns (rest of the schedule is soft though they do play Sea so either they are the div winners or lose out in a tie breaker to Skins). Seattle can't put together two games in a row so count on at least a loss or two. Even if the Giants don't have their typical end of season implosion and find a way to win out, Skins can lose two more and get 6th seed. Not the best way to get to the playoffs, but it puts us on the right track.
9-7 is nothing to brag about, but it's a winning record so...

How can you guys start talking about the playoffs?? It's almost comical to me.

In the last two weeks something very important has happened. The offense is really starting to show signs that they just don't care what the defense does. That's what the elite teams do. It's a really big step. I know it's very early for all of us to think like this, but this is something so huge to build on. IMO.

I doesn't matter. We aren't here for moral victories. We've lost the last two weeks.
