OK - Newbie speaks!

Hi folks.
I'm a Skins fan all the way from "Scotchland"! Took the guys on from the very first Superbowl shown in the UK (the 1984 game which we may not care to mention).
I think this year we can make the playoffs. I know you guys see more than I do (we get 2 or 3 games a week tops), but I don't see why not.
When Clinton runs 100, the Skins win. We have the NFL's #2 D - Pierce and Smoot are losses, but we had the #2 D without LA for most of the season...........
Flame me if you like, but what do I know - I think the playoffs are good to go.
Cheers!

Welcome aboard, IJ. I'm with you on the playoffs, the changes that the Skins have made in how they handle the offseason have given me hope. The draft was hard to take, but I'm coming around to Joe's ultimate plan.
Edinburgh, eh? That's a very nice city. . .
p.s. you'd be surprised at how many Skins fans from the UK are regulars around the board.

welcome
I want to agree with you about the playoffs, and after considering most of the off season moves, I like them, but every year I say "this is the year we turn it around." I've had my hopes dashed so so many times. Being a younger guy, the first football game i can remember watching was the last superbowl we won. Its been rough ever sonce. Not knowing the glory days of Gibbs, and have had my hopes crushed so many times, I just can't agree with you. I want to, but can't.

Welcome to the board. I agree with you, there is no reason why we can't make the playoffs so long as everybody stay's healthy and they play as a team.

I agree, the Skins are ready to have some luck (fewer injuries) and make the playoffs this year...
Edinburgh huh? Nice old city with horrible weather. I visted in 1986 and it rained a lot and it rained hard. Nothing personal but I couldn't wait to leave.

Just because you've drank enough scotch to make it in your "blood" doesn't make you a "Scotch American"!

Was a regular at the Claymores games before they moved to Glasgow and were eventually wound up. The crowds used to rival the crowds of Edinburgh's 2 football (soccer!) teams, what more did NFL Europe want?!!!
Still, I'll always remember being at the World Bowl - whatever happened to Siran Stacy?!
