We cant have any losses to the likes of teams we should be beating.
Here Is my Season Break down:
Skins vs Eagles WIN
Skins vs Packers Loss
Skins vs Lions Loss
Skins vs Raiders WIN
Skins vs Cowboys WIN
Skins vs Bears WIN
Skins vs Broncos Loss
Skins vs Chargers WIN
Skins vs Vikes WIN
Skins vs Eagles WIN
Skins vs 49ers LOSS
Skins vs Giants LOSS
Skins vs Chiefs WIN
SKins vs Falcons LOSS
Skins vs Cowboys WIN
Skins vs Giants WIN
You can take one of those wins against the Cowboys and possibly add another loss, I just do not think we sweep this Division, I feel like we have a shot against the Packers, and the Broncos but we may not be at that level yet and Rodgers and Manning are tough to crack, and I feel they will both be playoff contenders again. Falcons and 49ers will be the favs in the NFC again and we have yet to prove we can be at that level yet.
I feel like we make the playoffs again, win our first round game, and get knocked out in the 2nd round....but we build toward 2014 when we are in the NFC Championship game and possibly a SuperBowl appearance.

Not to fret over future unknowns, but one thing I noticed in the football mags is that our coaching staff (minus Danny Smith) all have been together for either 2 to 3 years. If we do as well as I expect, I think this may be the year we lose some of our coaches. And part of what makes me have high hopes this year, aside from Griffin and Morris, is the cohesiveness of the staff and players. I think everyone is on the same page now, and in football that is huge. Next year we may very well have new somethin' or others (OC, DC, etc)
