So because he's not a homer like everyone else on ESPN, he doesn't know what he's talking about? A lot of people are saying the Skins will do well, some people aren't. Right now, predictions don't matter. I'm so sick of the feeling on this board that the Skins don't get respect. What is there to respect? 5-11 or one playoff appearance since 2000?
But it's fun to get offended and call people out!

when are you people going to open your eyes and see that a team that has had losing records for 8 of 10 years does not deserve to have the credit you think they deserve. Out of four teams in our division, we are the only ones that did NOT make the playoffs. And might I remind you all it took was an 8-8 record to make it!! Stop being ignorant to reality. We have been mediocore at best for the better part of a decade(and that is being complimentary)
what do predictions mean anyway? absolutely nothing. who cares what one person says over the next guy? funny how when someone says we will be 9-7 and in the playoff hunt how you all jump on him saying he knows football and "our" team. when in reality, the people who have played and generally knows what it takes and knows the ins and outs generally have been pretty dead on when it comes to our record. (ie, the football players)

I don't get the fascination with the Eagles. They are yesterday's news. I can understand making a case for Dallas, but Philly is so obviously on the brink of a total collapse that it boggles the mind to see them ranked so highly.
Jim Johnson is a great defensive mind, but everyone has their limits. They will give up big yards this year. Reid is pre-occupied and embarrassed and McNabb will continue to have a completion percentage in the 50s. I can't wait for the Pam Oliver interview though.
As for Stink, he considers himself a Bronco. Good for him. He is dead to me. He has apparently taken Salisbury as his mentor and the results are predictable: hideously bad television. The Nascar coverage rules, though.
dont get the fascination of the Eagles? yesterdays news? are you watching football?? 4 straight NFC championships, 1 superbowl appearance, they have key people go down(McNabb, westbrook, TO(in the superbowl year) kerse, trotter and yet they still go deep in the playoffs.
Jim Johnson consistantly has a top notch D that forces turnovers and gets points off of those turnovers. McNabb prior to being hurt last season and previous was having pretty damn good years and has multiple pro bowls under his belt.
As far as who he considers himself to be, so what! he was a Bronco last, played there longer(i think) won a couple of bowls there i believe, so why not. do you think Champ would want to be remembered as a Skin or Bronco?

What a joke.....Every year Espn jumps on the Eagles band wagon.
seriously, what do you expect, they win the division and we stink it up every year.
in order to get respect in this league we have to win games plain and simple. jason campbell looking good in practice isnt going to convince anylists... ever.
i dont mind that they predict us to do so bad every year, i just wish that they werent always right.

I like Mark Schlereth. I think he's one of the best even if I don't agree with his take on the Skins. What was his reason for predicting the skins would finish last? He is usually pretty good about explaining the reasons behind his position.
i met and spoke with ron jaws at a local golf course he owns that my friends father also owns... he's on the skins band-wagon to contend for the division...

Actually, Schlereth is an incredible homer. The only thing is, his most recent "home" was in Denver. He occasionally says nice things about the Skins, but the man bleeds Broncos. I'll bet his breath smells a little Shanahan-y, if you get my drift.
