Same old story against the Eagles last night. The team still has serious holes in the roster which did not magically disappear since last season. We out-passed the heck out of Philly, but our defense got absolutely steamrolled by their ground game. I feel like the 'Skins sometimes have more trouble adapting to a no-huddle offense than they should. And of course, we don't do our defense any favors, making them play nearly the entire game. This needs to be an honest-to-God rebuilding year, not necessarily a winning season.
Still, we kept it within a touchdown, and we put a lot of points on the board. While this can be attributed more to Philadelphia's decline than to the way we played, it shows that we at least did not lay down for them. We have the tools to win, we just need to bring it all together.
You never know what you're going to get with a 'Skins game. While this uncertainty may be nerve-wracking for the fans, it also brings with it a wild sense of possibility, of hope, and when that coalesces into a dramatic underdog victory, it produces one of the most fundamentally rewarding moments in sport.
Hands up, defend yourselves at all times, and HttR! This has been the Rabbit Punch.
