I can't get behind that sort of thinking.
If the team is winning despite losing key guys like Cooley, Samuels, Thomas, Portis etc., perhaps we should consider that the future isn't so bleak after all, and perhaps we do have some good depth and young stars on the rise.
Of course the offensive line still needs major attention for the future, I don't think that will change win or lose.
All that said, beating Denver really didn't change my view of the team or my expectations for the rest of the season. If the team plays well again in Dallas, I might start to change my mind.

I can never root for the Skins to lose, even after they're mathematically eliminated. I am hoping for a significant change in FO philosphy to come out of this first half disaster. Lack of O-line depth has been a HUGE factor in our offensive woes. This was no surprise, most on this board have been calling for rebuilding O-line depth through the draft for a couple years now. Until we stop tossing draft picks like confetti, and trying to fill our holes through FA, we will continue to be borderline playoff contenders in our best years, and basement dwellers of the NFC East in our worst.
Thomas and Davis are beginning to show us glimpses of potential the last couple of weeks, which gives hope that we will have playmakers when the O-line is rebuilt.
