I just finished watching the Jags Philly game and I will simply say this. No they dont have a JJ Watt on the roster. But Foles took 5 sacks and twice that in hits yesterday. This isnt the cake game it would appear

No such thing as a "cake game" in the NFL...that's why we love it!

No game is a gimme but it is at home and I like the skins chances to even up at 1-1.

We finished 2nd to worst last season. We just lost to the team that finished worst. We're playing the team that finished 3rd worst.

If there is anyone who thinks this game is a cake walk, please escort them out of the building and check their papers.

Dave... if I didnt see our offense as basically the same as last year with a new pair of shoes, I might still consider this a winnable game. But honestly right now I think we lose this one and stare 0-4 to 0-8 possibilities right in the face.

I wish I had any sort of argument against that, but I don't. And in fact we could win this one, and then still end up looking at 1-7 if we don't make some dramatic improvements in a lot of areas.

The good news is, its not like we are simply devoid of any talent. The bad news is, so far our coaching hasn't done diddly pooh to get much out of that talent.

I'm not a doom and gloom kinda guy and my glass is usually always half full. Minus the redzone fumbles and the gift scoop and score by ST I thought the skins were the better team.

Kev.. .you know that Im usually a the team will prevail kind of guy as well. But seriously, I havent felt we were as over rated, and screwed as I do right now since we hired Spurrior.

Let's give Gruden some time. I haven't seen anyone think were overrated as most think the skins will suck. Talk to me after week 6 and I could change my tune but like I said earlier I thought the skins were the better team on Sunday and I'm confident they'll take care of the jags at home on Sunday.:suds:

If I had a dollar for every time in the last 6, 8 or 12 years that we said "we played better, but mistakes cost us the game"... or "we outgained them and had more time of possession, they just got a few plays" or some other variant of what you said, I'd be rich.

Point is, I've seen this movie before and while its correctable, it never gets corrected.

And I've not been a doom and gloom guy myself either, but I saw nothing about Gruden's first game that impressed me. I suppose Joe Gibbs wasn't too impressive in his first game either, so I will have no choice but to give Jay some time.

i am not a doom and gloom guy and i think the skins will put together a solid all around game and win 27 to 16

week one isnt the week to throw out absolutes

perhaps we are a 2-14 team perhaps we are not

if our defense is as good as some are proclaiming we should handle the jags offense . and our offense and our weapons and running game should step up . i see 3 rushing tds and a pair of Fgs

so no , i for one arent going down doom and gloom lane we are at home and we have a good chance to take this game

the jags have a good pass rush, we have bad pass blocking. so i say we play to polumbus's strengths and run the damn ball.

56-10 Skins. Moses and Long come in late 1st quarter and establish themselves as the pancake brothers, a nickname that will follow them all the way to canton ohio someday. Rg3 could go in for another score late in the 4th but he slides at the one and comes out of the game to the an ovation that eclipses the sound decibel levels that Seattle set when they broke the record, so Kirk can take a few victory formation snaps.
