Thoughts from Australia

[fevola]

i have been a skins fan for 20 years and am absolutely rapt with the way the skins have played this year(although Sunday gave me the s..ts) It has been a difficult few years as my best mate is a mad Eagles fan and he has been giving me a truckload of abuse over the years...Oh how the wheel has turned.

It has been difficult to catch up with the highlights because other than 3 live games a week and Sportscentre we get zero coverage here. Thanks to theWarpath you have kept me in the loop with all the goings on in the NFL and especially at the skins...

A couple of questions - How far can we go this year? Can we go all the way??

I think with a bit of luck we can. Here me out, nobody thought Greece would win the Euro 2004 soccer championships and they were rated 80-1 at the start of the tournament. If we can eliminate turnovers (and create some ourselves) we can certainly cause a few headaches to some teams. Bar the Giants game, which was an abberation, we have played hard in each game. A 5-4 record might not sound flash, but besides the 49ers & Eagles , every team we have played has a winning record. Sounds like good form to me.

What is going on with Sean Taylors case? Is he likely to play this week?

HAve we evr thought about an Aussie punter? We have guys who can consistently kick the ball 60 METRES, which is equivalent to roughly 70 yards. Heck that last punt on Sunday, i could kick that on my left foot. Ben Graham seems to be doing ok at the Jets and he wouldnt be in the top 10 "punters" in the local football comp, the AFL.

I am genuinely excited about this year and would be devastated if we missed the playoffs this year. We are better than both Cowboys (what the f**k is the fascination with them), and the Giants, although we owe them big time..
