    Default Honestly how far are we from the Superbowl?

    The thing about this team that makes me really mad is we are not that far from being a dominate team. Defense wins championships and I think we still have a great D. If and when Lavar comes back we'll have two stellar LB's. Shawn Springs, Taylor, and Bowen make up a very good secondary. I feel even with Harris we still have a top 10 secondary if not higher. Our d-line is full of grunt working over achievers that take up the blockers like Greg Williams wants them too. On offense our O line has just one whole in my opinion, Dockery, and if he plays up to his potential, then we have the best o line in the league. I like Clinton but I think we need a little thunder to help grind out the clock. I hope Betts stop playing smaller than e is. Our WR's are servicable at this point, but they give Joe what he wants. I see your work Joe, speed will stop the zone blitz. At QB I want this team to stand behing Ramseys for one year and see what we got. Now that we have a coach that knows blocking DE with a trung canidate wont work. (MY GOD SPURRIER WAS AN *****) Gibbs knows football, and he should be able to think of way to beat the cover 2, and the zone blitz. We're even strong on special teams. I think with a productive draft we're a lock for 10-6, and maybe a trip to the big dance. We have a strong coaching staff I just wish Joe would concentrate on coaching and not travel too and fro trying to play Monty Hall. What do you think?

    Gibbs got his 1st season back outta the way. Greg Williams is a defensive mastermind. We will get Lavar playing again, Jansen is back, and Brunell isn't starting. We're already in the playoffs. Super bowl? We can all hope, but ya never know!

    We need Ramsey and one of our WRs to step up big time, and we need a dangerous pass-rushing DE.

    we were 7 points or less in nearly every game last year of going to play offs.. If we had a productive offense, who knows what could of happened.

    We are not far. But, as always, it must be proven on the field.

    Vermeil went 5-11 his first year back if I'm not mistaken. He was building something special there with the Rams and knew it would take time. But in year 2 he went 4-12!!! The next year they won the SuperBowl. Go Figure.

    So close I can smell it, just get the offense in sync and keep the defense healthy and we are in!

    Well it better to dream than be the nightmarish Buffalo Bills of the NFC East. The question I have for Eagles fans is how many chances do you need to get a ring. Maybe you guys should draft that Doctor who made Gatorade so McNabb doesn't get tired in the biggest game of his life. I mean don't you guys have your own problems.

    How far are we from the Super Bowl? I would say one season with at least 15 wins (including playoffs)

    Teams that go to Super Bowls don't have off-seasons like we did. So I'd say we're looking at 2006, best case scenario.

    Remember, 15 of the 32 teams in the NFL have never won a Super Bowl, so it's not like these things are easy to come by.

    Didn't New England basically come out of nowhere to win their first Super Bowl?
    We have a start since we got Gibbs back. I'm telling you, it's going to take a big week 2 win against Dallas to get this team on its way. Until we beat them, we're spinning our wheels.

    We're 529.42 miles away from the Super Bowl....8 hours and 20 minutes if driving from Landover to Detroit according to Mapquest

    I'm guessing the NFC will be weak again this year. I didn't really see anything this offseason that makes anyone in the NFC a run away favorite. Even though we only won 6 games last year and had a piss poor offense....we never really were blown out of games. And, we were close to making the playoffs...as sad as that sounds.

    So...I think we'll make the playoffs this year...I don't think we'll get to the Big Show (but hey, stranger things have happened in recent history...see Rams, Ravens, Patriots worst-to-first turnarounds). But the 2006 season is a possibility...

    The defense is there...even if there is a dropoff they will still be very good. I imagine with a full off-season in Gibbs' pocket (and the intimate knowledge of his players that he didn't have last year) the offense will be tweaked just a bit...and perform much better than last year.

    well thought out reply...... so much better than actually explaining what you meant when you said the Skins were "already in the playoffs"....
