My first thought is that this is one of the most brutal schedules I've ever seen for a 4-12 team. Colts? Vikings? Titans? Packers? Texans? And that doesn't even take into account the six games in the division. Everyone's saying the division is down a little, but the teams still beat the snot out of each other. Ouch. I think the best chance we have of those games is actually the Vikings. It's a home game. Sidney Rice MAY be back, but he'll be out of sync. Favre may be beat up at that point and not go. They've got Chicago and Green Bay right before the Skins, and you KNOW those are gonna be bruisers.
Hopefully with Shanny we can do what Zorn never did and win the ones we should and the ones that are fairly even matchups. If we can beat the Rams, Bears, Lions, Bucs, and Jags, and split in the division, that'll put us at 8-8. If we can steal one or two from the lopsided ones, which we COULD do since they're all home games, that would give the Skins a winning record, which after a 4-12 year would be a HUGE step in the right direction. If we had last year's schedule, I think this team could have gone 12-4. That schedule was WAY easier.
Of course, it could ALL fall apart and we could be 4-12 again. I think we'll get a GREAT gauge of our season in the the Dallas game. We don't necessarily have to win, but if the D plays well and Trent Williams can keep DeMarcus Ware at least SOMEWHAT off of McNabb, I think it bodes well. If Dallas marches up and down the field on us and big TW is getting beaten like a drum, and hence McNabb is running for his life, we're in trouble.
What do y'all think?
feeling. I can understand their celebration, but that's why I always thought that players looked like asses celebrating some stupid play. If you score a touchdown, that's one thing. If you stop them on 3rd and goal to force a kick or on 4th and goal on the line, I understand. If you stop them on 4th and inches to seal the game and give the ball back to your team, I see. If you score a touchdown, I get it. But when you're down, the guy just ran for 6 yards, and you got a shoestring tackle, I don't see the big deal. Wow, you did your job. He gained 6 yards, man. Or celebrating when you get a first down. Yea, if it's 4th and 12 and you're down 3 with 45 seconds to go...well, then you should be getting your ass back to the line for the next play!
