As cliche as this sounds, and I am sorry to not offer a more intelligible response, any given Sunday.


We've seen 1-8 beat 8-1. Rook Lefty 'take down' Manning in Indy...


The team we saw yesterday didn't lose because they lack talent. They lost due to inopportune mistakes, lack of cohesion -perhaps justifiably - and no true sense of 'taking' a game. This is not a bottom feeder roster, in my honest view. They are merely a bad team. A team that doesn't know how to play winning ball for now. As Gus said, they are 'built'...Minimize self inflicted shoots, come up with sane game plans on O, play to your QB's strengths, find ways to shore the line (the hard part), and they'll be fine.


I am currently on research fellowship back in DC. Considering how bad the Skins are, Cousins looked woeful, threw a couple of picks yet they had Miami on the ropes. They can be had. Plus, they are on the road in consecutive weeks, granted just down ours. IF we manage to get to 1-1, who knows what path this takes? That's the beauty of football, and that's how I see it.


The script can't be prewritten, 1 week in advance, let alone 8. Let's breathe n watch.
