If we go 5-3 then I'll be satisfied that we've got the right coach. If we go 3-5 or worse, then it's time to can him, because it will tell us he's too dependent on his top flight talent and will never get over the proverbial hump.

Teams have injuries , the good teams overcome them. Philly did last yr, NE always does etc. They suck to hit a team but its the NFL, it is bound to happen to everyone. Losing BS really sucks but the other guys had none to very little impact. If Trent can come back sooner that would be great. Skins just need to stay playing tough defense, we dont play a potent pass attack like NO , ATL anymore. TB has weapons but Fitz is no where near Brees or Ryan level. The stretch of Giants, Jags , Tenn and Philly will determine the season.
