What if we lose to Dallas and don't make the playoffs?

8-8 is a 3 game improvement over last year, which is certainly nothing to hang one's head about. You hope the Skins can fill the holes and make another 3 game improvement in '08. However, to have come this far and not go would leave quite a bit of heartache...

Pissed off but considering what the team has been through you can't stay mad for very long.

As far as next season I can't get to excited just yet.Too many fears of losing key players,coaching staffs, etc... for whatever reason.

I sure hope there will not be any new systems either. Stability,stability.

I thought we offered Gibbs a 2 year extension, was that true? Status? Anyway I love Gibbs either way, we can only get better with him here.

Tha Posse....Hagerstown MD. Been there many many times visiting my X inlaws. Too many one way streets for me. I've been lost more than once. Great town tho.

You may know my ex wife. Who's the biggest bitch you have ever met?

Being the "glass half empty" kind of guy that I've been my whole life I've been fearing this actually happening all week, especially when I saw that we are 9 point favorites.

9 point favorites makes me uneasy as well. I'm glad you brought some reality to this site so we all know it is possible to lose. If we lose, it will be in grand fashion i'm sure with turnovers, penalties and a general implosion. 3 weeks ago when we played the bears I swore not to watch any more Redskins games for the year if we lost (i was lying to myself). The same thing for the giants. Then the vikings. Now I probably won't have the option to not watch any more if we lose sunday.
All I'm saying is I considered the season over not too long ago and the team has shown me something, a little fight that has been lacking. They're backs were up against the wall and they had 2 options; fight or roll over. They chose to fight for their honor, their dignity, their pride. And I feel overtaken with the feelings that the team has given me. D.C. is now filled with honor, dignity, pride. Look around, flags, stickers, magnets adorn even the ugliest hooptie. Maybe these people are fair-weather fans, but the city is alive once again and damn I feel proud. Win and we're in...This is dallas week, lets rip their fucking heads off.

Sorry I'm getting a little emotional. My pulse is pumping and tears are welling up as i type like only the skins can do to me

I don't know. This is the biggest game I've seen in a while. Dallas at home, win and you're in. Dallas is the NFC East champs and the #1 NFC Seed... If they come out flat I'm going to be very disappointed. They better be UP for this game. As long as they leave it all on the field this weekend I'll be happy with the season, eventually. I predicted 8-8 or 9-7 this season (although I pictured it coming in a very different manner) and will be happy with either record all things considered.

Since I was a little boy growing up in Silsbee TX, I've lived for Dallas Week. We can't lose this game. I will be crushed. I'll get over it and look at things objectively after a week or so, but this is a HUGE game.


GO SKINS!!!!

What if we lose to Dallas and don't make the playoffs?

I'll still be proud of a team that overcame numerous serious injuries to key positions, made impeccable free agent moves in Fletcher, Smoot, and Rocky (over Briggs), overcame the death of its best player, and still won three more games than last season. Imagine what a year we would have had with a solid offensive line and a dominant running game in the second half (like we did last season).

Proud of our coaches, players, fans, and owner!

Now go out there and kick the Cowboy's a$$ anyway!!!!!

Staying positive either way. DALLAS SUCKS.

I will just be humorously devastated. Its almost like every time we get our hopes up this team disappoints. Its only when everyone gives up that we actually do well. For example, whenever the media thinks we will be good in the preseason, we suck. The two years that no one gave us any hope, we have made a playoff push only after being all but dead. I won't be upset. The team has been facing impossible odds but such an abrupt and disappointing ending will be unbearable. On second thought, I'll just be devastated.


We can't be mad at the team though. The things this team has faced are horrible. They shouldn't even be in the position they are in. I think we all realized that winning doesn't matter, after sean died. Its just how quickly the season would be over is the hard part. Whatever, i think we all want something to make this season just a little bit more rememberable for good things.

However, I won't want to talk to anyone. Maybe I'll just be so mad that i'll pack my bags in 5 minutes and drive up to new york to my friend's place and go and watch the ball drop. That'd be stupid though. F... this, i don't want to think about losing.

If we lose to Dallas im going to seriously be worried about thier chances of going all the way this year, i for some odd reason think we are the only team in the east that will stop them in the playoffs. wow, i just caught myself being positive about the skins chances...
