No offense intended, but I don't buy it. I don't think Gibbs would buy it either.

My reasoning.....There are so few games in the NFL season, no one can afford to play like they know they don't have a snowballs chance in hell. Every game is important, especially when you play only once a week.

Baseball, basketball, hockey.... now they could since they have so many games. But in football, one loss hurts. The Giants wanted it that much more than the Skins did. They got outplayed on both sides of the ball and I believe the Giants will be a much better team for it.

No offense taken. As I said--I was there, and the skins showed a total lack of concentration on both sides of the ball. The only one who played well was Brunell, and they kept dropping the ball. Our secondary is weak, but they made us look like the '77 Steelers.

My theory is impossible to prove, but for me it's the best explanation that fits the facts. The skins are a much much better team than that.
