Seahawks 5-4

In the hunt:
Giants 6-3 (we SHOULD have beat them and will beat them next time)
Lions 6-3 (we creamed them)
Redskins 5-4
(5 others at 4-5)

We beat the Cowboys next week, not only are we in this, we are front runners for wild card.
If any team knows that records are thrown out the window when these teams play, it's us. We've beat them when they went to the super bowl, and vice versa. We've beat them when they have had better teams, and vice versa. Throw out everything you know, this will be a Skins victory this week and we WILL make the playoffs.

So what makes you think we can go up to NY and beat The Giants when we can't beat The Eagles at home?

The Giants probably won't give us as good of a game as the Eagles just did.

No matter what you think of this Philadelphia team, it's hard to say we didn't get their best effort. The Giants aren't really that much better than the Eagles, they just had all their soft games frontloaded.

The Eagles could have easily been thinking a similar thing last week, how can we go to DC and win when they beat us at home? Hey, shit happens. Each week is practically a new season in the NFL.

Yep, that's why the saying should be you're only as good as your NEXT game.

The injuries are starting to really hurt. Chances are Dallas will beat us this weekend and we'll be 5-5. And I don't like our chances down the stretch with so many key guys hurt.

But then I remember that we were 5-6 in 2005 and we made the playoffs. So who the hell knows. That's probably why everyone on the board is so divided between total optimists and total pessimists this season. Fact is we're a middle of the road team that still could go either way. We still have some strengths we can lean on, and we've got our share of weaknesses that can be preyed upon. I've got no idea what will happen, but I've got plenty of hope!

All optimists are closet pessimists. I've been a skin fan for 31 yrs. I get bashed on here and at work for not being a TRUE fan because I criticize this team. If I criticize the people that work for me does that mean I'm not a TRUE boss? If I criticize my children when they do wrong does that mean I'm not a TRUE dad?

Huh? Speak for yourself.

Of course it doesn't mean you're not a true fan. But part of being a good boss, Dad, whatever, is striking some balance and finding some middle ground now and then. The constant negativity from the so called realists is what gets tired.

I am more than happy to give individual praise,Thrash,Portis,Cambell for example but it's very difficult to be shickled titless with the organization as a whole.
