Last time I checked, making the playoffs and winning a road game is better than collapsing over the second half of the season while getting blown out by an arch rival. 14-13 and 35-7 were sweet! There's no time like the present!
Last week on this board, 90% of the fair weather freaks here were calling for the fat fish to leave, and now that he flipped a coin and decided to stay all of you are so hopeful about next season. Really, what do you have to be optimistic about? Losing 4 of 6? Having a jerk coach who barely has any desire left? Or a bunch of old slugs on offense? You will finish 3rd or 4th in the division with the Gints, and you know it!
The Skins haved turned a corner and are really starting something. They have become a real team after two seasons with Gibbs and will only get better over the next five years. All the key players on the team are young, unlike Dallas. Their coaching staff is strong and will be together for a while, unlike Dallas. All of the real football fans here are worried about the Skins with good reason. Dallas has too many question marks and are at least 2 years away from having a legitimate contender. Depending on Shaun Alexander's destination next year, I bet 75% of the experts will have either Carolina or Washington as their NFC favorite.
And if I read another comment about how the Skins will be in cap hell next year, I think I'm gonna puke. NONE of you know what you are talking about. The Skins are going to free up at least 10-12M by cutting and trading players (Lavar, Ramsey, J Hall, C Raymer, W Harris probably, Antonio Brown, W Holdman...). So shut up about cap numbers because 99% of you are talking out of your ***.
Also, the Skins do have a first round pick this year. His name is Jason Campbell; we just got him a year early to groom by a genius stroke of Gibbs. How many young, talented QB's are on your roster? That's what I thought! He will be the best QB in this division in 3 years. Eli is a just a little overated. Donovan will suffer without TO and a RB as the Eagles decline. Well, you know the QB situation of America's Team!
Basically, please stop talking trash about the Commanders. I know it's all in fun because none of you could actually believe that your Boys are any match. See you next year. The division should be fun.
Skins rule!
