Given what has happened, I am extremley pleased just to be in the playoffs. I can always look back at the 2007 season now and be happy. If we lost to Dallas last week, I wouldnt have been able too. Given all that occured I'm extremely proud of the team and to be a Skins fan.

Had the Taylor situation not occured, I'd probaboly view tihs a little differently.

I don't want to get bogged down in categories, so I'll just give you my take.

This team is playing much better than any other group in the NFC. If they don't beat themselves I don't believe they will lose. Then, by the time they get to the SB, lots of people will be rooting for them to upset whoever the AFC Champion is. If it's Belichik, then nearly everyone in the country will be on our side. I feel very good about the next month.

Well, since I AM Scud, I should probably move to the beat of my own drum here. But believe or not, I voted Sarnoist on this one. Truth be told, I'm sort of on the fence. Probably 40% Scud / 60% Sarno.

Here's my thinking- After all the adversity we've fought through this year, I'm so, so proud of the team. Regardless of what happens today, I will always look back on the '07 Skins with pride. On the other hand, despite injuries and Sean Taylor's death, we are a better football team than Seattle. We're playing better now, we played a much tougher schedule throughout the season, and should win today.

We want Dallas. For #21.

Although I would definitely enjoy a Superbowl Victory, I went with Sarnoism after all that our team has been through this year.

True, I thought about couching it by saying either since preseaon or since Taylor's death. But I figured I'd just let people decide on their own how they wanted to perceive it.

I'm curious to see how many people hold true to what they voted on here. I'm disappointed we didn't pull it off today. But overall proud of all that we gave it

Smooter · 01-05-2008, 07:45 PM

I agree. I longed for a bit more but i'm still happy with the position we're in considering the circumstances. I still love you skins with the exception of Suisham. lol. We'll come back!

FRPLG · 01-05-2008, 07:46 PM

I am disappointed. I felt we could have been a real factor in the playoffs. I think If I felt we had been playing over our heads I'd be happy but I think we under performed today and let a team beat us that we are better than.

Like I said, I'm always disappointed and pissed with a loss, and I probably will be for a few days.

Ask me again in a week when I'm rational and I'll probably be pretty pleased with the season.

I think we underestimated the Seahawks and overestimated some of our guys. I am disappointed because we missed opportunities earlier in the year to have homefield for this game or a bye. Still, all in all not bad

My bigger concern is will we carry our momentum (excluding this game) into next year. Difficult to say since Campbell wasn't part of this run

Yeah I think we know almost nothing going into next year. Our line was hurt all year and I think essentially we can atrribute most of our lack of success to that. It hurt us today for sure. As you noted Campbell didn't play but hopefully the coaches realize now they have the players to fully run this offense and give the whole playbook to JC next year.

BleedBurgundy · 01-05-2008, 08:12 PM

We overachieved when you consider the state of our line and having a backup qb. I'm happy...

jsarno · 01-05-2008, 09:46 PM

LOL, Sarnoism!!!
I am very disappointed with the results...I did not envision us losing to the seahawks. I'm still in shock.
Well, definitely have to vote Sarnoism. Not just for the name sake, but we all need to be extremely pleased with what this team done with they had.
