Tied for 5th best record in NFC

I have purposely have been staying away from this site all week cause the negativity has been too much for me. I'm just not ready to give up until it's actually over. Even if that means I sit in a corner with my fingers in my ears saying "la, la, la, la, la".
I am not the type to predict demise and then give a smile when I'm right...to me it doesn't matter if you're right in the prediction of the Skins demise, what matters is that you're there as a fan when they need you...and guess what? The Skins need every one of us right now. If we don't root for them, then who will????

That being said, we all seem to forget that the Giants were 8-8 last year and made the playoffs in the NFC. In 2004, the Rams AND the Vikings were 8-8 in the NFC and made the playoffs. Now, I'm not saying we can make the playoffs with only an 8-8 record, but it is possible. Why not wait and see what happens before we call this a season. I do think a 9-7 team will make it in the NFC this year. 8-8 will be pushing it, but the way everyone seems to be beating everyone, it is possible.
So how about we all try this, stop sulking, and start cheering. It's never over. Look what we did in 05!!!!!!!!
Even if we lose to Dallas (we won't) we can still make the playoffs. But if we win, we are in the fast lane for the playoffs.

Sure we may not be the 04 Red Sox, but they SHOULD have taught us to NEVER give up. They were down in the 9th inning of game 4 with 2 out and 2 strikes vs the best closer in the league, and came back to win 4 straight and break an 86 year old curse. If they can do that, the Skins can certainly overcome a 5-4 record.

I realize that people tend to read one post and assume that the poster is either a kool-aid drinker or a hater-aid drinker. Some people, like djnemo, are somewhere in between. In his defense, djnemo has been pretty fair with the team.

This reminds me of that ESPN commercial:
"Are you questioning my fanhood'...'Should your fanhood be questioned?"
