Agreed. I'll you what other game gets to me. And that's the Colts. When we recovered the fumble late in the game on the punt (I believe) and marched down inside the 10 (down 7) but had to settle for a field goal. That sucked.

I thought we played as good as we've played in a long time in that game, and a win over the Colts would have served notice to the league (and probably many of our own fans) that this team isn't just about luck

That game bothers me more than any other game this year. You get the ball back with 5 min left up 5 and you come out passing the ball with a shitty line that was getting manhandled? I wanted to reach through the screen and strangle Kyle S.

I couldn't believe we didn't run then either, my only thought at the time was it must have been because they didn't have confidence yet in Williams and Torain was hurt

I think it's now safe to say, you might as well throw the 1st Eagles game in there too. If we are not good enough to play in the playoffs, I don't want to mathematically sqeek in there.

Now if we get real hot for the rest of the season and fall short, then I will be disappointed, unless that happens I'm not sweating making the playoffs this season.

We simply would be no competition.

The loss at Detroit is the killer because we had a 5-point lead and the ball in the fourth quarter. Plus, Detroit is terrible (2-8), and we had no excuse losing to them.

Kyle should have ran the ball there and taken off some clock. Worst case scenario is we punt and make them drive the field or make them use their time outs when they get the ball back. Bad coaching can lose games too.

The Texans game did hurt .. you can't say Rams ( we just plain lost ) .. lions have our number ... the Texans game hurts the most because we were rolling on offense and just gave away that game .. all that being said .. 5-5 makes me super proud and pumped to be a Skins fan .. the way this team showed up on Sunday really showed me the ship is headed in the right direction ...

And here I was thinking the Lions and Rams games were looming larger. There was no excuse for losing those games.

Reality check, we could easily be 0-10 never mind 6-4.

How is what our record could be... a reality check?

Reality is we're 5-5. And that's a fact.

Are you sure? Can you prove that's a fact? I believe right now in the "Truly good team to beat standings" that we are somewhere between 3-7 and 2-8, which would explain why we aren't even in the running for the playoffs at this point in the season. Those standings are more important than actual NFL standings because those standings measure how much of a good team you actually are, not how many wins you have.
