We are/were a better team than the Giants. The three most talented teams in the NFC are Dallas, Green Bay, and Tampa Bay, and the fourth most talented team, Seattle, did just put a pretty good licking on us. So at best, we are the 5th best team in our own conference.

I've enjoyed the crack you were selling, but I can't smoke it no more. I got the #'s off by 2, but are you are telling me that the Cowboys and the Giants (each beaten by the Skins this year), and the Buccaneers, Packers (each squeeked by against the Skins this year), and the Seahawks are the better team? I didn't see anybody put a "licking" on the Skins tonight. Really, one field goal could have put this thing away, those last two TD's were garbage.

I've got a ? for someone..............On the kickoff after we went up 14-13. Why can a player return a onside kick for a TD. However, on that kickoff our player picks up the ball and runs it in but it is ruled down at the point of touching?

It's because a Seattle player never touched the ball.

Had Burleson dropped the ball, it could have been returned for a TD. An onside kick also cannot be returned if the receiving team does not touch it.

K, I thought on a kickoff that it didn't matter if anyone touched it or not.

So, it would just be a change of posession then.

I don't think the Giants are that good. They are a 8-8 team going as a 10-6 team for Halloween.

The score was inflated by meaningless TD's, but you can't ignore that the Seahawks beat the crap out of us for three quarters. Some really crazy stuff happened there and we were able to come back, but that's all we could do.

Football is a 60 minute game, and tonight, we won about 3 minutes worth of football. Inflated score aside, that was not our best game, and Seattle is pretty solidly a better team than we are.

Yeah the Bucs, Packers, and Cowboys squeaked by, but I'm not sure thats a good argument: "Three elite teams won close games against us...obviously we are the best of the four."

Actually, I'm pretty sure that's a horrible argument.

We aren't that far off, and are probably closer to the elite than the rest of the pack is to us. We aren't better.

OK, you're right, I'll quit arguing. They are all better than the Skins. However, I think in your heart you believe different. Maybe next year, HUH?
