Around the League: WEEK 1 Baby!

True, unfortunately the Skins are closer to the likes of Cleveland, Oakland and Buffalo than perennial playoff contenders like GB, Seattle, and NE. Sad but true.

Im not gonna start today, but that's just a pestimistic view and not exactly true.

Some people around here love pessimism.

If Wilson has the same knee injury, Seattle doesnt win the superbowl last year and the fans all over the country would be questioning why cant Seattle get it done.

They are always circumstances, but to make a blanket statement such as franchises going in the opposite direction and then to follow that up with Buffalo, Cleveland and Raiders level of Skins is just garbage.

i am pumped up. got the butterfly flutters in the heart going. im ready to run through a brick wall right now. ... i need to cut down on the coffee.

In the last 5 seasons:
Buff has 0 winning seasons.
Clev has 0 winning seasons
Oakland has 0 winning seasons but did finish 8-8 twice in that 5 years.
The Skins have 1 winning season.

Unfortunately this is the sad truth.

1 glorious, historic, record breaking, trend setting winning season with a once in a lifetime athletic talent that is now fully healthy and ready to unload wads of awesome all over the field.

strap up fellas, we goin' for a ride this year

the position of the franchise is much greater than those programs. Anyone of those teams would gladly trade out their teams and coaching staffs for ours. 1 winning season was a division championship just 2 years ago.

U just cant bottomline it and say they are equals

Hate to agree with Irish but he is right, this franchise has been bad for many years. Too many and most people outside of our fan base lump us with the CLE, BUF, OAK of the world.

Sad but true folks.

Knowing plenty of long suffering Bills fans, and a Browns fan, they would switch places with just about anyone.

Anyway, it's not worth getting sucked into the negativity. Some people definitely revel in it and like to call it "reality".

Equals? I didnt say that and I do think the Skins are a little better off than Clev or Buffalo. But that sad fact of the matter is that in 4 of the last 5 years the Skins are bottom dwellers just like the teams I mentioned. Heck, just the fact that we can even have this discussion means that its more true than not.
