(Merged Thread) Overreacting to a loss

lots of new people stop by just to bitch about a loss and then move on... its stupid.

That said, after 3 losses like we've had, something's obviously missing, cause a truely good team would be capable of coming up with that one extra play per game to get the wins.

I think we're probably just an average team right now that got lucky early and unlucky recently... our QB is solid, but not great... same at RB (and looking at least a bit overpaid). Moss is great, but if he doesn't get the ball, he can't help.

Another thing is the is the hardest schedule i've seen in at least 4 years, playoff teams weekly... we only have 3 soft teams all year (teams like indy have 7-9 soft teams). 6-10 this year is MUCH better than 6-10 last year, but we could easily go 8 or 9 wins. Next year its not possible to get a harder schedule so we should be alright if we can find a couple pieces...

If we improve by two wins this year to go 8-8 (which I think is highly likely), I would call that a successful year. To be successful the following year, we will have to win at least 9 games and probably 10. I would be upset if we didn't make the playoffs next season.

matty hit it right on the head,there is a very fine line in the nfl between winning and losing.as hard as some of these losses have been,we basically have been in every game and are definitly making progress.i would be shocked if next years version of the skins does not make the playoffs.and remember.there is still plenty of ball left this year with an outside chance at the playoffs
