The Skins will be a better team this year but all the years of losing have taken their toll and even an improved Skins team just isnt in the top tier of of NFL teams. When its all said and done this year the Skins will be somewhere between 20th-25th out of 32 teams.

Mainly, as has been said ad nauseaum, last year was it's own creation, built on specifically shallow grounds, of MS and Griffin distrust, and team implosion. Using last year as any reference is simply folly, as would be using 2012 in a vacuum. Assuming a healthy Griffin, and talented offensive weapons, all proven except Reed, the offense should be able to be a top 10 offense. The question is absolutely on D and ST. Using the fact that a Brady led offense was able to shred what probably will be a 17-22 ranked Defense, in an non-gameplanned scrimmage, just seems overly pessimistic to me.
