What Will It Mean if the Skins Win Sunday?

The same can be said about Dallas and New England, who have they played of stature? The truth is, the majority of the league is somewhere in the middle right now, and any given Sunday the outcome could swing either way. You play who's on the schedule and do your best.

It's already been said about Dallas & NE. My point is not that we haven't played good offenses, just not balanced offenses. The g-men probably have the most balance. Miami tried to run on us but couldn't, otherwise the teams we've played have not stuck to the run for long.

And point is, how many balanced offenses are out there...even in the NFC for that matter? You play, what, one or two of these teams a year maybe?

So the argument will be a reoccuring one in my mind. The minute you play a team that has a balanced offense or a good this or that, chances are you are playing a really, really good team. Most teams in the NFL are probably somewhere in the middle.

It will mean we are 4-1. One game at a time.

I really think I'm going to pass out before Sunday get's here from all the anxiety! But beyond the obvious, what will a 4-1 record really mean to the organization, the city, the fans..and the team itself?

No doubt, the Skins will have positioned themselves for a good run at the playoffs, but will this team somehow be looked at any differently from the one that made the playoff run a couple of years ago? Does it mean that perhaps Gibbs and his vaunted coaching staff have turned the corner?

More importantly, is it too early to have unbridled optimism?

Too many questions, so little time...

Can we change that saying?

Great, now Offiss is going to call me out and accuse me of draining his bank account

Seriously though, I'm going to throw on my mod cape for a minute and say let's wait until next week to see how/if Offiss responds should (when) we win

[firstdown]

That they beat Green Bay!!

is your mod cap purple or pink?

Is that not what you wanted me to post when you PM'd me???

Seriously though, no Offiss's were actually harmed in the creation or execution of this post.
No harm intended!

It will no doubt be a big win, beating a good team on the road! EVERY win is big...because it gets us closer to the playoffs!

that's hot.

It means we can win in a hostile environment against a good team...a 4-1 record...and one less game we have to win to get into the playoff.

Quite true, and there is probably more parity w/in the nfc as well.
