Seattle comeback ends 07 for Skins

Arguably the hottest team in the NFC entering the playoffs, the Skins saw their season come to a halt with a loss at Seattle on Saturday.

But rather than try to dissect what went right, wrong or second-guess the guy getting paid millions to make the decisions, I would like to take a few moments to reflect on how far the team came this year.

I realize I may be shooting myself in the foot with this statement but the fact that we made the playoffs after the season we had should be considered a victory, especially since it looked like we didn't have what it took after the loss to Buffalo. However, the team rallied together and pulled off a run similar to that from a couple of years.

Now that this season is behind the Skins, we will now spend the next few months speculating what options are available and while we will be doing this a little earlier than desired, I believe that the pieces are place for another run next year, despite the fact things looked good heading into '06 after the run to the '05 playoffs.

Aside from speculating about who Dan Snyder will overpay to come play here, Skins have another cause to keep a close eye on - Art Monk's Hall of Fame election. All I will say about this right now is that it is a tragedy Michael Irvin was voted in before Monk, but both deserve to be there. But again, another topic for another time.

I want to close by saying congrats to the Skins for what they did accomplish and let's hope 2008 turns out better than '07.
