In a different thread, I said I hoped the Skins would beat the 49ers and the Cowboys and then lose to the Vikings. The reason was that I did not want anyone in the FO to think that this team was just one player away from greatness - because it isn't. I do not want the Skins to go on another free agent shopping spree - they will anyway - and make massive roster changes yet again - they will anyway.

Now that they are mathematically out of the playoffs and have lost to the Cowboys in about as ignominious fashion imaginable, the FO will probably realize that they are not one player away from the Lombardi Trophy and MAYBE they'll make offseason decisions based on building a long term winner instead of based on how splashy a press conference they can hold.

So, now I want them to beat the Vikings. I don't care how they do it; I just want to see them do it.
