Nothing is impossible with these Skins. Unfortunately, with that statement the team is on the wrong side of impossible.

It's inconceivable that the Skins should lose to an inferior team like the Raiders under not-deserving-to-be-a-head-coach-because-of-the-lack-of-discipline Norv at HOME with his 24th ranked defense. Follow that with a seemingly strong outing against the solid Chargers but let a 10-point lead slip away in the fourth quarter. For the third straight game. At HOME again. Giving up makeable field goal position with a holding penalty.

All the breaks that were falling the team's way in the first half of the season have caught up with them. Is it possible that the Skins could go 5-0 to close out the season. Sure, anything is possible. But for all intents and purposes, the team's playoff chances are out the window. This was the one opportunity to make up ground with both the Cowboys and the Giants having lost and the Skins having games with each of them to finish out the season. It's always heartbreaking to see your team drop games. If they can finish on a strong enough note to finish 8-8, it will be a lot of fans happy. Not nearly as happy as a playoff-bound season, though.
