Fantastic idea for a thread!!! I really enjoyed reading what everybody had to say too.

Other than '91 this is the best I've felt about the Skins and the NFL in general. Sure, when Joe came back for a 2nd tenure I was excited, but the organization seemed like such a mess back then I figured it would take a long time to turn around. The whole Gibbs II era was a massive disappointment for me. '06 was a nightmare. Even when the team rallied last year after the tragedy I didn't think we could compete w/ the top 4 or 5 AFC teams so the playoffs were like a cruel prank.

Things are so different now - not just in DC but around the league. We're actually maximizing the talent on the field, which in all fairness Joe helped accumulate, and the results are evident. Also the AFC has leveled out a bit. For years the Colts and Pats have been fucking ridiculous in talent and on-field performance. Good for their fans but seriously annoying for the rest of us IMHO.
