    Although it saddens me, as a lifelong 'Skins fan that Coach Joe is speaking at the Repub convention (though it doesn't suprise me, given his Bible thumpin' history), I must disagree with your analysis of the team's performance the past few years. Though not as good as the Gibbs teams of the '80's, they've definitely been better than 6-10. The past two years they made the playoffs (granted, barely), and even in the NFC these days, you have to win more than 6 games in a season to do that.
