Skins final record will be...

[Schneed10]

I'm saying 8-8. We have no receiving threat on the outside, other than Santana Moss. When there is only one threat it becomes very easy to take Moss away. Which will take away our big plays.

The only good side of that is at least there is ONE wideout defenses have to worry about. Which hopefully means Portis can still find enough room for 4.5 yards per carry. So he can keep the offense going a little, and Cooley can still move some chains. But I think we're going to be missing big plays from now on, which means we'll have to mount more long sustained drives to win games. And you know what that means... there's even less margin for error when it comes to turnovers.

If we finish 8-8, in my book that means we went 10-6. The Denver game and the Tampa game were both wins. The refs just didn't see it that way.

I like 8-8, but I still think we'll go 11-5/10-6. Hopefully this will be the game where another receiving threat emerges. If so, we'll be okay.

Cooley has been such a clutch player though. He deserves to be in the Pro-Bowl.
