on the bright side....

I think the weather had a lot to do with the sloppiness of this game. Both teams played poorly overall, they just played slightly less sloppy. I think we need to chaulk up some of our poor play up to the weather.

That being said, I am very happy with the D. We held two great offenses to a total of 20 points in 2 games...that's impressive.

We're blaming the weather now? Wow, last time I checked we play outdoors and not in a dome? And if weather was our downfall now--what about December at the Meadowlands?

He's not making excuses... he's giving a valid reason.

The weather probably helped stifle both offenses, the Packers we're just able to score with their defense. Statistically, we should have won that game... but oh well.

And about Meadowlands, that's a good point, and I'm not looking forward to that game.

Not making an excuse, just making an observation. This is the first time we've played in that kind of environment, not like we had any practice. I sincerely hope that doesn't happen again.

And that would be crediting the Packers offense with the 7 points off of Moss's fumble. The Skins D held the Lions and Packers to a total of one offensive TD and ZERO TD passes. If only the Skins O could consistently hold up their end of the bargain, we might really have something.

That's true...it's actually 13 points vs two very good offensive teams.

Just trying to look on the bright side.

I hate to play the if game but if we hadn't let up big pass play in the beginning, it would have been ZERO TD's (and 6 points to two really good offenses).
