The truth is the Skins are a decent team, good but not great. Upon further review, our defensive struggles can be traced right to our offensive struggles. In all of our last three losses, we've had the ball late in a game with the lead and been unable to run out the clock. Even in the Philly win we gave them the ball back with a chance to at least tie. Conversely, when we have the ball with a late shot to tie or win we've come up short. Maybe it's just that we have to learn how to win close games, we've lost five games by seven points or less. So as a squad we are right on the cusp, I think we're a pass rushing defensive end and a big wideout away from being a contender.
