If we win our next three we are a top 5 team no doubt.
I was going to say ask me after Thanksgiving. I don't think we have to win both games to be top 10, but we need to beat 1 team and be competitive in the other (my preference is to beat the cr*p out of dallas).
These next two games will show us who the Skins really are this season.

Dallas is really going to be tough. Short week for both of us, but we are traveling and playing night game on Sunday. That is bullshit. We should be 1 oclock game to be fair.

Seems that some fans are still suffering from the loser mentality cultivated over much of the last 25 years.
It's a new team, we're trending up and only getting better. Get used to it.
I definitely expect to win more than we lose going forward, because the organization now understand the importance of investment in the trenches. Vinny never did. We had a brief period where Gibbs got us going on the right track, with Randy Thomas and Cornelius Griffin and some others.
But McCloughan so clearly understands the need for talent in the trenches and as long as he keeps doing that, I expect us to win. Teams that control the line of scrimmage are playoff teams. If we can start to dominate it on the defensive side next year we'll be a Super Bowl contender.

Yup. Absolutely.
GBay and the Skins represent two teams that are generically about the same - 2nd Tier teams that should beat most teams in the league and have a shot against the good teams even when they are playing well.
GBay, however, is trending down and we are trending up. Time to stomp on their heads, kick them down the stairs, and climb over their cold dead bodies as we move on up.

My reaction is -- who cares about rankings? Just win. Beat the Packers. Focus on nothing else. Beat a team that seems on the ropes at home like you can and should. Take care of business immediately in front of you. Repeat through early February.

Very true, but also very detrimental to the health of our discussion board. [emoji22]
So just amuse us and answer the question. [emoji851]

The next couple of weeks will determine that, one home game before going on the road for 3 straight ones (not an easy task).

As it stands right now are we top ten?

Yep and will have to play like that to beat GB, Dallas, AZ and Philly.
