There's no doubt we gave away 3 games or so & didn't show up for another 2-3.
Also, remember that the NFCE was horrid last year, but had an unparalleled revival this year- Dallas & NYG are tough outs and Philly has sparked more than anyone gave them credit for.
But, even after all of that, here we are...still with a fighter's chance of extending the season.
So, regardless of how this plays out Monday night & the games next week, as 'Skins fans we have a lot to be thankful for.
If we can add a few pieces and get better play from just a few spots....(DL, LG, S, ILB, RB) this team will be among the NFL elite.
And hey, if some pieces fall into place the next week or so, all we have to do is play better and be more fortunate than the other team & we keep moving on.
There's a lot to be thankful for & the future is bright.
HTTR!

Good post.
Even last year when we won the division, we weren't getting any respect, everybody was like "your schedule was easy, you beat no team with a winning record".
This year I feel, regardless of wether or not we make the playoffs (which I hope we will cuz this is one of the goals of a season), we're finally getting some credit, we are more legit to be in the playoffs.
