One win against a terrible team =PLAYOFFS! We are not a playoff team. End of discussion.
It's not just one game against Philly, we also beat #7-9 on the NFC seed list, and with a win this week we suddenly get vaulted back into having a shot.
As JR told me, it's alot of IF IF IF's right now, and the Skins have certainly fooled us over the years, But Griffin makes me want to believe. It would be awesome to see a playoff run akin to the year ST died, but without the drastic a propelling force. For right now it all comes down to Turkey Day at Dallas

Right now, like the rest of the team ( I hope ) I am only seeing Stars. Grass, dirt and blood covered stars. We can figure out the rest during our mini bye week in between Thursday the 22nd and Monday the 3rd.
"Blood covered stars". Nice.

This wouldn't be a discussion any other year, or in any other division... but its a legitimate discussion in the NFC East this year, because no one is really that good. Furthermore, the team that is the best of the bunch (NYG) has one of the most brutal schedules down the stretch. I actually think the winner of this game between Dallas and Washington is really in the drivers seat, even though we'd still be two games behind NY (playing them next week).
We're not all that good, but given the division this year, we really have just as good of a shot as anyone. The Giants game is a absolute must win, Cowboys game is pretty much one too. I don't think we have any chance of getting the wild card, because I don't think we'll run the table... but I think if we finished 9-7 (assuming we beat NY), we'd be almost a lock to win the division.
That said, I think its a total coin flip Thursday.

Yes. It is a ton of "if's" and we are absolutely not good enough to look past Thursday.
... at the same time, how sweet would it be to be hosting Dallas on the final day of the season, winner gets the division.

I thought aceinthehouse was back after seeing this thread title at this point in the year. Gmanc is right, but still think Giants in the driver seat though.

That Panthers game really stings right now. Grrrrr........
That Victor Cruz catch!!!
That Josh Morgan Helmet meltdown.
That 15 penalty from Kyle.
Man, just one less mental mistake and we are 5-5.

One final thought: There are 6 games left. If we win Thanksgiving Day, we have the head to head sweep on the so called contenders category for the final spot. Chicago is in danger of total meltdown (According to the wild card tie breaker procedures on NFL.com).
Bucs
Vikes
Saints
Cowboys

Those two are the worst. The Panthers game as much as it sucked, we deserved to lose that game. That 15 yarder on Kyle really was after Rg3 took an awful sack and pretty much sealed it. The only thing the 15 yarder hurt was our hail mary attempt (which didn't even reach the endzone).
The other two, are games we probably should have won (up 21-6 in St. Louis, a bomb away from the win in NY), so to me, those upset me way worse.
