team hard to take

[ncskinsfanec]

Let's just chalk this up as a difficult week and move on. The game wasn't even close to being important this week. We lost a young man who was maturing as a player and more importantly as a person, it is very evident that Sean Taylor was held in very high regard by his teammates and coaches, and he will be so dearly missed. I'm willing to give the coaches and players a pass this week, there are just some things much more important than a little old game of football!

I feel you. I think we're around the same age. So we were really young when the Skins were a kickass team. And my biggest fear is that I'll croak before I get to see the Skins win a big one.

I have no doubt that the Skins will be good again someday. That said, I believe the greatest mistake of the way this team was built early in Gibbs 2.0 was putting more emphasis on glitzy skill position players than the men in the trenches that were so valued during Gibbs 1.0. "Gibbs football" values running the football on offense and stoping the run on defense. To do both consistently, more emphasis must be placed on drafting young studs.

Although the team is mediocre and inconsistent, they do play hard and are competitive every game. Keep the faith - someday, they'll put it together. Just probably not during this season of injury and heartbreak.

Yeah probably. When we win, i'll punch someone in the face if they call me a bandwagon fan. My friends will obviously know the truth but if some stranger says anything of the sort I'll go crazy.
