True, but then again I'm probably not the only one who thought Oakland had no shot at all against the Skins last year.

Yep, that could have been one of the top ten upsets of the 2005 season.

But if that's what we're reduced to, hoping for a miracle, the improbable victory against a team that just happened to have an "off day", what does that tell us about this season already?
