Four Years Later: Are We Better Off?

NYCSkin · 01-07-2008, 12:11 PM

We are better off. In our hearts we probably think the Skins should be better than they currently are but our heads should tell us that we were a laughingstock franchise 4 years ago and now the Skins are at least respectable. We are in the conversation about good teams in the NFL and no longer in the punchline.

I have been harsh on the Skins but it has been pointed out to me--2 playoff appearances in 4 years speaks for itself. My heart wants us to be the juggernaut that we were in the 80s but I am spoiled and know that step 1 has nearly been accomplished--the Skins should field a consistent playoff team. We are at least going to the dance now with Gibbs. He just needs to pretty us up to be prom queen.

Next year--I will expect playoffs again with sights on the division crown. Trying to get a home playoff game next year will keep the momentum from this seasons going...
