I've been reading some articles across the internet and I am feeling a downed vibe that is running through the forum. I think some people might feel like we aren't the team that we felt we were, but let's go back and look at some things before coming to that conclusion.
We lost two games in row before this to teams that we OUTPLAYED! We should have beaten Denver and we should have beaten Kansas City. Denver has been highly acclaimed by the press, they even beat the press fav's (the Eagles), yet for almost 60 minutes of football we thrashed them.
Yes, the Giants game was a travesty, and yes I feel like we lost to an inferior team, but that was a game the Giants had to win. Maybe it was Mara's ghost, i don't know, but I know that everything went the Giant's way and nothing went the Skin's way. This game was the exception to what has become a rule this season. The rule being that we always beat the other team statistically.
Either way, I think that there is a sour taste in a lot of people's mouths. Yes, the Skins have to wake up, but I guess what makes me happy is that they've shown me everything this season to show me they will. We've got a week of sourness ahead, but hopefully that will only make the rest of the season's success that much sweeter.
