So, in retrospective, we should all be quite pleased that we're still alive for the playoffs at this point.

There's no doubt we gave away 3 games or so & didn't show up for another 2-3.

Also, remember that the NFCE was horrid last year, but had an unparalleled revival this year- Dallas & NYG are tough outs and Philly has sparked more than anyone gave them credit for.

But, even after all of that, here we are...still with a fighter's chance of extending the season.

So, regardless of how this plays out Monday night & the games next week, as 'Skins fans we have a lot to be thankful for.

If we can add a few pieces and get better play from just a few spots....(DL, LG, S, ILB, RB) this team will be among the NFL elite.

And hey, if some pieces fall into place the next week or so, all we have to do is play better and be more fortunate than the other team & we keep moving on.

There's a lot to be thankful for & the future is bright.

HTTR!

Good post.

Even last year when we won the division, we weren't getting any respect, everybody was like "your schedule was easy, you beat no team with a winning record".

This year I feel, regardless of wether or not we make the playoffs (which I hope we will cuz this is one of the goals of a season), we're finally getting some credit, we are more legit to be in the playoffs.

Why do people keep bringing up LG? Kouanjio has proven he can play and will be our LG of the future. We need DT, OLB pass rusher, ILB and S. we will be set.

Agreed. And I would put DT and S on top of the priorities list.

Sure some playmakers at LB (and maybe an other CB) would be a great thing.

But I'm sure if our DL brings pressure and stops the run and our safeties cover better, this defense will look WAY better, even without any other improvement.

We need a Kicker. Dustin Hopkins cost us at least two wins and possibly three. We need to build the middle out. DT, MLB, S and RB. We should be ok with su'a cravens at safety next year. We have close to 10 picks in the draft, we should be able to find some starting talent.

I blame him for the Bengals game for sure, he is at fault for Detroit but I dont 100% put that on him, Matt Jones fumbling going into the endzone hurt too

My mention about LG was that we need to get better play from that position.

If that's Kouandijo, so be it, but he didn't beat out Lauvao this year and LG hasn't been a strong suit for us.
