Where does your team stand? XL won't know till tonight what the Ravens season looks like at the midpoint, but I know the Skins are 5-3. Albeit an ugly 5-3 which included two losses that should have been wins (Giants and Packers) and two wins that should have been losses (Cardinals, Jets). When they are good they aren't as good as they look, and when they are bad, they aren't nearly as bad as they look. But this is the NFC, and they are playoff contenders. If they play .500 ball from here on out they are a playoff team at 9-7.
Throwing out the ass kicking they doled out on Detroit and the one they received from New England, the Skins play a lot of close games. Their wins have been by 3, 8, 31, 2 and 3. While their losses have been by 7, 3 and 45. They can go one of two ways from here on out. They can either start to come together behind their vastly depleted O-line and start winning by more than one score. Or, they can have more injury's and start losing by more than one score.
Next week the Skins host Philly, which will be a pivotal game in the season. One, that I think they will lose. The following week they take on the Cowboys in Dallas, which I am saying they will lose, just because of how well the Boys are playing, but history says they'll win in big D, and lose in Washington. Then it's at Tampa, and home versus Buffalo and Chicago. I think all three of these are wins, bringing their record to 8-5 which would mean they would only have to win one of their last 3 games to make the magical 9 win mark, and that's all they'll do. They will lose at New York, by a lot most likely, and then win at the Vikings before dropping the last game of the year to Dallas. 9-7, playoffs, first round loss to New Orleans. Write it down, the Greazy One has spoken.
