Even the teams the Skins lost to fail to impress me.Kevin Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08172648739434861401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9584461.post-14019360717604139282007-10-26T21:47:00.000-04:002007-10-26T21:47:00.000-04:00Good stuff, but I'm going to have to take the oppo...Good stuff, but I'm going to have to take the opposite stance, to an extent. The Skins have the 5ht ranked defense as you pointed out, but then you kind of write their defense off suggesting they have done it against lackluster offenses. All of the offenses you listed, though, are in top half of the NFL in total offense. So, being the 5th ranked D against those opponents is a decent accomplishment.<BR/><BR/>Now, granted, none of those offenses are top 5 offenses. Only two are top 10. While the Skins D may be a "test," I still don't see them stopping the Pats from putting up another 30+. And make no mistake, the "real test" will be <I>next</I> week against the Colts.sugarshane024https://www.blogger.com/profile/15453663164025204074noreply@blogger.com
