I agree that we dont know what JC will accomplish but I think the one thing he hasnt shown is any ability to take the offense to the next level. Thats what all the discussion is about, can he show something to make the Skins think he's worth resigning. Be prepared to be very disappointed, this is a 7 to 9 win team.

I am sorry, but that is really just a ridiculous assertion. Could we be, unlikely but it is the NFL. Our schedule is nearly identical to last year. We were 8-8 last year. Setting aside Balt. Pitt and the 2 Giants games for this discussion, the other games that we lost turned on several flukish plays, the St. Louis game particularly will not be a repeat this year, and the SF game also, I am cynical enough to believe that the loss was not mourned because of the draft status it gave us. Throw in the fact that SD, Den, KC, and Oakland are way below the talent level of Pitt Balt Cleveland and Cincy, and for our team to do less then 8-8 would really be a major major development. You add in an AH, and we should easily be 10-6. And I am convinced that there is no way that the Giants sweep us again, although we may not sweep the Eagles, we certainly will win at least three in the division, and sweeping Dallas is highly likely.
PS Burgundy Koolaid is the best (i don't know that I trust where the gold has been
)
