We must start fast to make the playoffs.

I understand the mindset of taking it one game at a time from the perspective of the players and coaches. They have to approach things that way to maintain their focus and intensity.

On the other hand, we fans can look ahead and clearly see that the early part of the Skins schedule seems to have more winnable games than the latter part of their schedule. So, if the Skins don't win enough of their early games, it stands to reason that it will become a more difficult task for them to make the playoffs. That's because they will have to string together more wins against tougher competition. I think that's a valid observation.

Id say looking at the schedule and comparing it to last years results that is a vaild observation. There are always surprise teams either better or worse than expected every year. But lets wait and see how the team reacts to the giants game. Once that game is over I think we'll have a good idea of how we'll do this season.

Obviously our schedule is front loaded as far as winnable games. I get really nervous thinking about that week 17 game in San Diego. There's a chance that will be a win and get in scenario for us. My hope for that game is that San Diego is so much better than every other team in the AFC West that they'll have their division and playoff seeding locked up and rest their starters.
