DISASTER!

It's hard to find the words that can describe last night's Skins game. It's probably best to forget it and try our best to put it behind us. Just a few thoughts on the game:

1. We were beaten in every facet of the game (offense, defense, special teams, coaching).

2. It was the Michael Vick show and he was unbelievable. It truly is hard to believe that a guy could spend two years in jail and then not only make it back to the NFL but potentially be its MVP.

3. VERY disappointed in the defense. I think it was a combination of game planning and execution but we just didn't have an answer for Vick. It seemed as though we would have/should have pressured more and keep Landry as a shadow on Vick and force Vick to make plays. However, it seems that what we did was rush down linemen, play the safeties back to avoid giving up the big play, and had the LBs drop back about 7 yards and watch for Vick and contain him. It obviously didn't work. I love Lorenzo Alexander but he missed a number of opportunities to tackle Vick and keep him from scrambling for a first down. However, you can't really blame the guy. You are basically asking a converted O lineman to stop Michael Vick. Not going to happen. It's putting him in a position to fail. Just a bad job overall on defense.

4. The first TD there was obvious holding on Orakpo. I literally said as I watched the play, "Holding. HOLDING. HOLDING!!!" I said it three times even before Vick threw the ball. After the catch, I was certain I would see a flag. Disappointed to have not seen the flag and I was upset for a short time but it proved that it really didn't matter as we couldn't stop Vick.

5. McNabb was decent. In fact, the offense showed sparks and when we actually seemed to dominate the second quarter...unfortunately by that time, it was already 35-0. We did get two TDs to make it 35-14 and then got the ball back except McNabb ended up throwing and INT in our side of the field that the Iggles turned into points. That was a critical point. Just a throw in...Galloway sucks and I have no idea why he is on the team.

In the end, it's a loss. It was embarrassing. What will be most interesting is how we respond next week against VY and the TITians. Will we take this loss as an embarrassment and come out angry and show some pride or will we be so shell shocked at this outcome that it affects our play next week. We'll see.

Until then...HAIL SKINS!!!
