Unbelievable Win!

The win against Dallas was without a doubt, the most thrilling last minute reversal of fortunes I have ever witnessed. The 14-13 win in Texas Stadium felt like a better win because it got the Skins to 2-0 whereas the team is currently 3-5. However, Moss' 2 TDs in that game came while there was still a few minutes left on the clock.

Why is this blog so infrequent? Why only after wins? One, we moved -- so we have been busy packing and relocating. Second, maybe I am too much of a fan for my own good. It's too depressing to write about the team after they lose. And losing three straight was tough to stomach, especially that gut-wrenching loss to the Titans and Vince Young.

Looking Ahead to Philly

It doesn't look good. The Eagles have come off three straight losses and are hopping mad. Not only that, but it is at Lincoln Field, the Eagles have had an extra week to both fume about those losses and to game-plan especially for the Skins. You get Donovan McNabb, who's been passing like a madman thus far, ready to carve up the woeful Skins pass defense. If Gregg Williams can dial up the right way for the defense to contain McNabb and boost the beleaguered unit's ranking, it's a step in the right direction. Plus, Moss still may not be back. If he is, he won't be at 100%. As much as I hate to predict it, the Skins will probably fall to a tough-to-recover-from 3-6.
