The Top Ten Reasons Why The Skins Are Contenders!

The dominant winning teams in the NFL basically have one or two key playmakers on offense which should not be considered a weakness. Lets hope everyone stays healthy down the road.

You make good points, and I realize who we've played and what kind of record they pull. We can't "woulda coulda shoulda" the season though. Although the Denver and KC game was good we still did not win, which is a concern. We turn the ball over way too much on the road to win ballgames. We need to protect the ball this weekend if we are to score enough to win. And who would you consider a "weak team" that we play on the road the remainder of this year? (besides maybe Arizona, and even they could very easily beat us.)

1. Bucs..........#1 defense in the league
2. Rams..........pretty damn good team under the dome
3. Cards.........not a hateful defense and could give us trouble
4. Eagles........they are still the NFC champions until I see the wheels come totally off!

I actually agree completely. That's where the whole "Any Given Sunday" thing comes in. Even with the 49ers I wasn't SURE about us beating them. Every week I'm concerned we could lose home or away. Since the NFL is a bunch of professionals, you don't doubt the talent. What you bet on is how much of that talent will be used by that team on Sunday. If the 49ers played 100% of their potential when they played us, we would have lost. This is where coaches like Gibbs come in. He helps people to realize their potential. Our defense is a perfect example. Who knew Ryan Clark before last year? Nobody. And who was that guy for the Chiefs that sacked us a thousand times? I bet no one heard of him before that game. Anybody can beat anybody in this league. I just like to sit back and enjoy the ride.

My top ten:

10. Gibbs pulling Ramsey in favor of Brunell (best move none of us saw)
9. Undefeated at home
8. Avoiding major injuries
7. Arrington's play the last 2-3 weeks
6. Beating the Eagles
5. Beating the Cowboys
4. Portis running and doing all the little things not on the stat sheet
3. Cooley as a major target
2. Gibbs understanding the new NFL
1. Burnell to Moss (got the season started in Week 2 and has kept it going) I agree with those statements although i think Gibbs pulling ramsey for brunell is the number 1 or 2 reason we are in this position (acquiring moss would be right up there too).

agreed scowan that players make plays but the players making the plays are the ones coach gibbs put in that position.remember brunell,not ramsey,and moss,not coles
