Personally, I like all the negative press, sportswriters underestimating us, writing us off etc. That's the way it was in 1981 (some of you may remember). We had just fired Jack Pardee and hired Gibbs. He went 8-8 in his 1st year but had a good core in place...kinda like...now. The following year, '82, The Skins were'nt even mentioned in pre-season polls and were dismissed as having no legitiamate star power, a coach in over his head, etc etc blah blah blah. I think the result turned out ok..(4th &1 - Riggins down up the gut, breaks tackle, streaks down left sideline...). Bitch, moan, gripe, dismiss, count out, let us fall under the radar. I like it. By midseason we'll find out who starts to sing a different tune.
