The Skins Won't Win Another Game!

I just think that somewhere down the line this loss is going to come back and bite us in the ass. It's a conference loss and anyway you look at it, we can't lose to the Rams at home.

On the other hand, we won two games against conference opponents (Arizona and New Orleans) at home and two games, which almost no one thought we would win, against division opponents on the road. It certainly doesn't help to lose this game. Good teams win the games they're supposed to win. But, unless we start to free fall, this won't kill us. And we have far more important games than we've lost.

I had thought that Cleveland would be our trap game, but now I actually think we'll win the next three-including the Steelers game.

Yeah, me too. I was almost certain we'd have a poor showing vs. the Browns after punishing St. Louis. Hopefully it will just be the other way around.

I hope you're right Smoot. Right now I am looking at our next two games against the Browns, and Lions as "must wins" we can't afford to lose to anymore teams that have no business beating us, and if we do we're in big trouble because it's going to be hard to keep pace in this extremely competitve division and conference.

6 games into the season and the skins are 4-2. thats pretty good. turnovers got the better of the skins today, also the dropped ints by fletcher and landry didn't help.

The Saints are clearly a better team than the Rams, but are we really better off had we not come back on the Saints, but happened to hold off the Rams?

Perhaps with the tiebreakers, but our luck is going to be all over the place throughout the year.

Yeah agreed. The "lets get over it and look ahead to the Browns" might be an approach some want to take for now. But that doesn't mean I can't still be pissed off! IMO Pete Kendall screwed us BIG time! Yes there are other reasons we lost. But that was what changed the game.
