I'm always on the bandwagon.

And basically to the credit of announcers that are NOT completely anti-Skins, I sometimes give them the benefit of the doubt that they don't cover JUST the Redskins. They have 32 teams to cover and I do understand sometimes when they can't analyze every bit of information given to them at any time.

I DO take issue that none of this has been brought up in local publications but for outfits like ESPN.com (minus Pastabelly) and MSN.com I typically take everything they say with a grain of salt because they can't put the type of objective analysis into every team they cover like we do with the Skins.

HOWEVER, you are all right to have said that a lot can be taken from the preseason. Cincinnati's D was no slouch and Pittsburgh AND Baltimore both have top tier D's. Again, as Matty stated, we're #2 in offensive production. I wouldn't mind getting rid of some turnovers and drop down a few slots, but otherwise we've been obliterating opposing defenses. Also we need to remember that a lot of this yardage HAS been coming from our first teamers, which has GOT to count for something.
