I can honestly see us finishing anywhere from 7-9 to 10-6. The division games are going to be huge as always.
Ideally, I think we need to start by sweeping the Eagles this weekend, and we need to split with the Giants and Cowboys to have any sort of real shot at the division.
In the other games against the Bucs, Vikes, Bills, and Bears, we can get away with 2-2 if my division scenario above plays out.

According to your ideal scenario, we'd have to go 3-1 vs. the division the rest of the way, putting us at 4-2 for the year. That would be great. That week 17 game vs. Dallas at FedEx could be MASSIVE. I think we can handle Tampa, even though it's in their house. @Minnesota could be tough, but we can handle Buff and Chi.
I think the more realistic scenario isn't that we're taking 2 outta three down the stretch from Dallas and New York. I see us finishing 3-3 in the division and winning 3 outta 4 from Bucs, Vikes, Bills, and Bears. 10-6, Wilcard.

Thats pretty true I think. I mean we could of won both the Packers and Giants games, and probably should of lost to both the Jets and Cardinals. 5-3 is a good record at midpoint and if we repeat that, the Skins should definitely get into the playoffs at 10-6 and even hopefully at 9-7.
I found my predictions from way early in the season here on the WP:
Dolphins W
@ Eagles L
Giants W
BYE
Lions W
@Packers W
Cardinals L
@Patriots L
@Jets W
Eagles W
@Cowboys L
@Buccaneers L
Bills W
Bears W
@Giants W
@Vikings L
Cowboys W
7 wins at home
3 wins on the road
10-6.
I had them at 5-3 at the midpoint missing the Cards and Eagles game. I have them finishing 5-3 as well.
I like the predictions...I am thinking we'll go 4-4 from here...but I can see 5-3.

PHIL W Mcnabb hurt and the eagles have more problems than we do
DALL L dallas unfortually is just better

BUFF L havent won in buff since 87

I agree Chief Chucky with most of your assesment, but I have to differ about the Bears. They really are a bad team and the defense will start to crack by the time we play them. Buffalo also is a toss up, but we can knock them off. I think Minnesota in the Metrodome will be harder than the Bears and I would count that as a probable L, while the Bears a probable W, and Buffalo a total toss up. Peterson isn't going to have a bad day in the dome.

Agreed that the Bears are an easy take-down but as for Buffalo think they may have some fight in them
