bigyim Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 I listened to the Dan Patrick interview, & Theismann made some good points, but he forgot an important comparison. I have seen 2 trendy picks for the playoffs among ESPN "analysts" resurface again and again...the Ravens and the Bills. Do you see ANY reasonable difference of why these 2 teams should be considered "better" in any category than the Skins? Similar stout D, same franchise RBs, coaching stability, possible questions at QB... Oh, yeah, the Ravens and Bills are in the "Better" conference...while the Eagles are the only solid target in the NFC, these 2 sweetheart teams have to fight the Colts, Steelers, Pats, Chargers, etc. to get a playoff spot. Does this make sense to you? Me, either. Looks like a tough sched, but I think 10-6 this year...and anything can happen in the playoffs with Gibbs at the helm. Maybe I'm too much of a homer...but, that's what this sit is for, right? My 1st Extremeskins post, Bigyim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoeRedskins Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 I think the Bills will colapse this year cause Losman is a rookie really. He has got lot of weapons, but a weak O-Line in Buffalo will cause him to struggle. Baltimore has got the names on D, but BOller won't be starting in 10 weeks. Anthony Wright will take the helm.

Henry Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 The Ravens and Bills both had better seasons than we did last year. The thinking, I think, is that they probably don't have as far to go as we do. They were both literally one game away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truant Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Good first post! Nice to have you aboard. I agree with your post, but I also agree with Henry. The fact is that we just haven't won much recently, so until we show we CAN win, people won't feel comfortable picking us. It's time to earn the accolades. On paper we do look pretty good, but the team has to show the killer instinct to put a team away early and the resilience to fight back and steal a win. Do that and the media will sing a different tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree...we should be considered in a better light, particularly when one thinks the Ravens and Bills will be good. If we get some consistency in officiating, we should do very well.

My 1st Extremeskins post, Bigyim The Ravens atleast should be considered better because they are coming of back to back winning seasons. On paper probably not, but winning on sunday is more important than winning on paper. As far as the bills go, I think they'll struggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
