I'm not arguing that Denver is better than Seattle, but Seattle isn't exactly a slouch either. They have one of the top ranked offenses and their D was ranked 8th coming into our game.

It's funny how fickle the media is week to week. After week 1 the Bears were bums, after week 2 they were on the rise again. After week 1 Dallas was headed to the playoffs, now they're headed back to the basement.

All the Skins can do is go out and beat the next team on the schedule, which they've done so far. I'm just wondering what excuses will pop up when we go on the road and beat Denver. Should be interesting.
Seattle is something like 1-30 in the eastern time zone so while they are a tougher team than Chicago they are not exactly world beaters when they go east. The bottom line is the skins have beaten 3 weak team which is a good thing because in the past few years the skins found a way to lose games that went down like Sunday's did. I just dont see a way to argue that the skins are one of the stronger teams in the nfl because they have not had a tough test yet. That will happen this week.
