I expect heavy focus on the offense in the offseason as the defense seemed to be priority last year.

Rebuilding is hard to stomach, but at least we are finally taking the right steps. Add a QB, free agent WR, starter or 2 on the Oline, depth in the secondary, a new ILB...we will be solid.

I dont know if anyone has seen the free agents list for next year, but they are plentiful at RB, WR, OG, Center...all positions we need to improve in.
I can agree w/that, but right now our division is trending toward mediocrity. We'll need to nab a franchise qb in the next draft, but will he be able to play in year 1? Our o line needs two drafts of mid to early round picks. A couple of injuries has really shown how poor the depth is. Drafting T. Williams in the 1st last year was the start, but we're quite a ways away.

You do realize that Fred Davis is a free agent after this year. If "everyone can see Fred Davis has grown into a good tight end" as you say, he might just wind up somewhere else next year...

Yeah, I hope we resign him. You see his value almost every week in the passing game. I mean Epic Fail if we let him go.

Dilfer and Johnson both had all time great defenses backing them up. A great Qb obviously helps hides a lot of flaws.

p.s. Message me if you're interested in buying tickets to the Patriots or Jets game and if you like being punched in the gut you can have both. I will give you a good deal.
Do you have tix to the Seattle game? I've always wanted to see a game there.

Im pretty sure ive said this several times on here throughout the seasons . . the one benefit to being a skins fan is that you get offered free tickets after the halfway point of the season. just like with the Os were you buy a $9 ticket and go sit in the $45 seats . .

but i wouldnt give up on the pats or jets game. if the skins pull out a win, your going to miss a really awesome experience . . theres always that punchers chance and to be there live in action .. a win in either of those games would be a great fan experience.

ive been a debbie entering this season so i actually thought our record would be worse but dang man . . . the games have had 0 entertainment factor, dare i say, atleast with rex he put the ball up there.

beck is like being bedridden slowly dying of cancer
rex is like being drunk and running into traffic

#1- I don't know why but the title bothers me. Lol. Horrible bad? I'm not an English teacher, far from it especially since I always hated English but I think "Horribly Bad is more appropriate.

#2- I can't believe you faithless sons of guns. I mean come on KS has a better idea of Becks abilities now and both are going to set this thing on fire and start winning games.

It's suppose to be a horrible bad title. I lost my faith when i saw Beck take a sack on a wide open naked bootleg. I think we are justified.

I took it to mean they are horrible at being bad. I mean look at the Colts. They're doing it the right way. None of this middle of the road stuff. No they're well on their way to 0-16. When they're good, they're good. When they're bad, they're better

LOL. Part of me is like, "Come on now, it's obvious you want Luck." Like I don't understand how you have multiple Pro Bowlers on that team and missing a single guy makes that much of a difference.

Sure, Peyton is like a coach on the field, but srsly?!

Their defense was also built around Manning. They dared their opponents to try and keep up with their offense. It was designed to give up scores, but the most time-consuming manner possible. When the opposing O had to abandon their run, Freeney and Mathis could then start teeing off on the opposing QB.

It's up to the reader to give it meaning. I like your take.

Lol. "If you really knew me....." you'd know I was being sarcastic. I originally had little faith that Beck would do much better. With the OL missing players and the WR's really not stepping up Grossman either I couldn't see much changing.

But it was fun throwing it all back at the Beck fans who were so adamant that he was our problem solver. Haha.
