Hopefully this will be the year that the Skins defense will be so dominating that it creates easy scoring opportunities for the offense and the Skins can be back into the Superbowl with a defensive oriented team, aka like the Ravens.

Forget the beginning of the season, how many people would have given the Cardinals or even the 07 Giants a chance at the beginning of the playoffs? Yet, both those teams led in the super bowl late in the fourth quarter. Only real difference is that the Patriots scored too quickly, and the Steelers ate all the time on the clock. Could have had two crazy super bowl champs in back to back seasons.
I'm thinking that the rep from the NFC is coming out of the West, probably Seattle. But back here in the east, I think way too many people are forgetting us. Can't blame them for losing us in the shuffle of our division, but boy, when you are talking about teams who can beat the NFC East teams in the playoffs, you have to like the people who are putting the Panthers and Vikings ahead of the Redskins. Doesn't take more than a 5 minute glance at the rosters to see how ridiculous that is, but it's understandably hard to find the time when you're busy shouting opinions at a camera.
