Actually 1 win and 3 losses, but that 1 win being against an '07 playoff team, in their house, where they were 9-1 last year.

Romper Room must have let out early today...there is no reason to state this because you have no idea what would happen if these 2 teams met.

The Seahawks got beat because they let up and couldn't get the job done. Putting up 30 points at home in this league usually means a W. Two Seattle turnovers in the 2nd half led to 14 49ers points...

Let's see. Raiders 2007 D: 22nd in the league total yards, 27th in league total points allowed. Raiders 2006 D: 3rd in league total yards, 18th in league total points allowed. Not exactly a great defense.
Go back and reread what I said. I never said offense didn't matter. I said the Giants D carried them into the Super Bowl and that Manning got hot at the right time.

We have to deal with their passing offense, thats it, thats all we have to worry about.. So when we shut down their passing game, what are they gonna do?

That's all fair and good, but 2 games into the season, the Skins have played solid ball for 2+ quarters. The simple fact that all they could muster in the 1st half against the Saints was 5 measly FG attempts has me concerned about punching the ball in for 6. And it took a weary Saints defense for the Skins to come alive and win.
Oh, and if the Skins to shut down the Passing game, Edge and Hightower may not be AP and LT, but they can do some damage.
