We have a tough assignment coming up against the best team in the conference. I'm not expecting us to win, but it would be nice to see some of the same sharp execution we had yesterday and at least be competitive.

Good points Matty. I definitely want the Skins to win next Sunday night. But if we do lose I hope it's because the Eagles beat us and not because we lost the game. You know what I mean? I don't want us thinking next Monday morning "what if we didn't have this penalty" "what if we didn't commit this turnover" etc. If we play hard, competitive, mistake-free football that will show that the Giants game wasn't a fluke; even if we lose to what right now is a better team.

Happy Birthday SkinsRock!

Not to be a downer but it's worth saying we should keep this win in perspective.

It's tough to tell if that was a turning point or if we just put it together for one afternoon against a team that is freefalling right now.

no, this win was special. dare i say it, a turning point (though a too late for year 1 R.G. (Return of Gibbs) ) because it proved to the TEAM (nevermind us) what it's supposed to look like. that it's POSSIBLE, and with the current players.

even the team was forgetting that if our offense this season played HALF as well and mistake free as yesterday, this team would be going to the playoffs THIS year. our defense kept EVERY game more than close enough.

it showed: our o-line CAN play without false starts, our passes CAN be on-target and not constantly overthrown, our corners CAN cover by themselves, our Dline is MORE than a fluke, our playcalling HAS dimension and surprises if the basics are covered. everyone already knew Portis was a hell of a runner, at least they SHOULD've known.

yesterday proved what we always knew but was useless saying. that WE beat ourselves this year, no other team did. the players and coaches finally saw the full potential of this team on the field, and we can now focus on the positive we know is there instead of constantly trying to dispel the negative (takes its toll). exactly like our team, the core of our esteem was defended honorably, and now it's time to go on the offensive.
