Game Day: The End of the Road

So this week is the end of the road for the Skins schedule. At least the part of the schedule that was supposed to be a cake walk. With the exception of the Giants, who we faced in week 1, the rest of the cream puffs on our schedule (St. Louis, Detroit, Tampa Bay, Carolina and now KC), were supposed to give the Skins a chance to jump out to a quick start. If this team were half the team folks thought it was at the beginning of the year, we should be sitting at 4-1 heading into this week - poised to move to 5-1 before we take on the Eagles.

Alas, we aren't 4-1. Heck we aren't even 3-2. We are a pathetic 2-3, having lost games to the otherwise winless Lions and Panthers, and to be honest - we could be 0-5 right now. We barely squeaked out wins over the Bucs and Rams.

This week is the end of the road for this Skins team. The last truly winnable game on the schedule until we face the Raiders in the closing weeks. Realistically folks, we could be looking at a 3 or 4 win team here for the season.

I have said it before, and I will say it again. Blow it up. If you know Zorn wont be here next year then can him. If you know Campbell wont be back, then trade him. If you think Portis is done, then show him the door. If we are going to be a 3 win team lets get our youngsters out on the field. Lets see Anthony Alridge at RB, lets see Marko Mitchell at WR, lets see what the future holds for this team.
