Second, I would say we met expectations, not that we underachieved.

Third, everyone has been all over Collins jock for the last 4 weeks, saying that he's our best chance to win. It's a bit disingenuous for those people to now say that Campbell would have given us a better shot.

Bottom line - the Skins, as a team, played pretty crappy football for 3 quarters (the first 2.5 and the last .5 quarters). That is why we lost.

First, Suisham did cost us the game. Those three points along with the field position change was the difference.

Second, we underachieved...period. If you're OK with the achievement, then maybe we met expectations.

Third, yes...everyone has been all over Collins jock. Can you think of a better QB story? No, he didn't take the Skins to the promise land, but is it so disengenuous for the same people to say that he wasn't the catalyst that made even the biggest dis-believers...believers?

Bottom line, the Skins played out of their minds these past four and a half weeks, and they played with the fire and spirit of the best player in the NFL this year, #21 ST. They didn't make it to the promise land as they had hoped, but they still made Skins fans all over the world as proud as can be.
