Playoffs: Yes or No?

I will comment on the playoffs when they prove they can win a single game.

Agreed.

Well, we did it last year but it seems like this is a rebuilding year so far, they can't seem to get the new offense down; plus the defense has seemingly taken a step back from the likes of last seasons' successful defense. I would say fat chance. I don't doubt that they'll beat the Texans but that doesn't prove shiznizzle; they need to get a few wins against some good teams, and I'm not talking about the Cowgirls. Only then should we again bring up the playoffs...

To say anything other than yes would mean I am not a true believer. I'm not much on predictions because I need proof.

I'm with you. I just haven't seen it on the feild to prove to me what we can do. I mean in my head I have it all worked out, we beat Houston, we pull off a miracle upset against Jacksonville, then ball gets rolling. But until I see that were good on the feild, whats in my head stays in my head, theres nothing to back it up.

I will say though, I'm a big believer in fate, and I'm starting to feel really good about this.

If the defense doesn't improve, the skins won't even break 500 this season. I'd hate to see what the Colts are gonna do to us given what the Cowboys already did. Plus, does anyone honestly believe that we are gonna be able to score any points against the Jags with MB?

I think we need to be spending time in the "thank you universe" thread for Shawn Springs to come back...

Just hoping he's 100% Does anyone know the severity of the surgery and if he's expected to fully recover.?

just saw latest development... the gods are angry.

Hey Gang,

I guess I should first say great site. I'm a skins fan out in Riggo country (that's Kansas for the young'ns) and have been (out of pocket) for a few years before that so I'm probably not as knowledgeable as some. Here is my 2c anyway's. I will say with some trepidation that this start scares me, only because Mark's first year with this system was horrid. Thus, I can only surmise that he is not a fast learner, and will struggle again with a new system. On the other hand it is all about defense, and if this D can mesh than I think they have the oppurtunity to be special. The D and the O have the weapons to compete. So I guess in typical lengthy bureaucratic legalisitc DC fashion I have surmised that I agree and disagee with the previous posts. This week tells all for me. If we can't put the throttle down and smoke a sub-par team we are in for a long season skins fans. Last week was bad enough for me; the skins to lose to Dallas and ND to lose to Michigan, It was like Black Monday for me.

I'll be drinking and cheering on Sunday. Go SKINS.

but we didnt lose to a team like the texans. thats why i say it is really dependant on if we win next week. the texans are probably the 2nd worst team in the league after oakland. if we lose to them...yeah i think realistically it is over but i will still be dreaming of the playoffs. last year was different, i thought we could win 5 straight because we had shown that the offense worked and the defense was awesome, this year we have shown neither so far. at least last year we had the defense

You forgot about the radiers... they are just about as bad as the texans
