Re: Skins Victim of Tough Division?
I cannot remember a time when the division was more ripe for the taking..............we didn't have it

Re: Skins Victim of Tough Division?
We need to do two things more this year before I will feel we are ready for next year.
1. Score TDs when we get in the red zone. 2. Win the turnover battle the next two games. Our defense has come on, our running game is working, we are getting solid pass protection, and we are taking shots downfield. We are real close to being exactly where we thought we could be this year at this time. With two more wins, we may have been ready for a playoff run.

Re: Skins Victim of Tough Division?
None of the other teams in the division is especially impressive. Dallas looks to be the best of the bunch at the moment and they have major holes- I don't see them getting past the first round.
Good teams win no matter what division they are in- that's what makes them good teams. I think the NFC as a whole is the weak sister conference anyway. The Bears are pretty formidable (at least defensively) but the AFC probably has 4-5 teams that are as good or better. |

Re: Skins Victim of Tough Division?
The Philadelphia Eagles are the only team in our division that we have a lifetime winning percentage against. We have consistently struggled against both the Giants and Cowboys through the years. As I said before, the now Arizona Cardinals (since removed from our division) are the only other team we have a winning percentage against. I'm viewing us being victims of a tough division over a period of time, not just the last few years.

Re: Skins Victim of Tough Division?
Hey, at least we beat the Cowboys this season. That always counts for something!

Bottom line is we lost winnable games (Minnesota, Tennessee, Atlanta, Philly) because we weren't good enough.. Forget the excuse about a tough division, Dallas, Philly and the Giants had to play in the same division but their only exception is they got to play US and get 4 wins so far among them.
