In Week 2, the Skins face off against a Michael Vick-less Atlanta Falcons. How winnable is this game? On the downside, they have to face a pretty good defense. They also travel to play Atlanta in their home stadium. Finally, they face a team that feels confident that they can hold down the fort until Vick gets back. Alge Crumpler is a weapon and the Skins need the right way to contain him.

On the upside, Vick is out, of course. That makes the biggest difference because Doug Johnson doesn't threaten the same kind of athletic mismatch with his feet. Second, Warrick Dunn doesn't scare anyone. Finneran, their most consistent receiver last year, is out. Bailey should be more than enough of a match for Peerless Price. I don't enough about their defense. I think they are good but largely anonymous with the exception of LB Keith Brooking. I'm hoping the Skins exploit weaknesses like a suspect D-line.
