Re: Playoff hunt!
 

I'll tell you something, in the end we were better off having to root for the Cowboys than the Lions. When you're playoffs hopes rest on the Detroit Lions winning a meaningful game, well, that can be a very stressful ordeal.

Yeah, enough with the "we need x to beat y unless w ties z" crap. Let's go earn this playoff spot.

Also, I don't understand the "hope we don't play GB red hot baller alert" thing. We beat these guys hands down, and just blew away the Bears who the Packers almost lost to.

I don't care who we play, we can beat several of these play-offs teams.

We've got to get in to the playoffs first. Then we can worry about who we play.

Re: Playoff hunt!
 

The Giants are favored by 8 points! That is a lot. Very strange: on the road, meaningless game, some starters might not play, do or die for the other team. Vegas must not like us at all.

You're absolutely right.

Just saying I'm amazed by the power of pessimism around here. We are scared of a team we destroyed.

I saw somewhere where it had the skins favored.. I'll have to find it. Either way we beat them before at full strength. They will most likely not play Manning and Odell much at all.

I am hoping ,wishing etc but not gonna get to hyped up..not even sure we get in. Giants don't want to lose 2 going into playoffs..think about it ..we are hoping the G men sit there starters?? if we are a true playoff team then why should it matter. I will say this for sure WITHOUT COUSINS we don't win 5 games this year..Pay the man and lets beef up the D ..all this talk of playoffs and what can and could happen is little pie in the sky ..we may back in but will get kicked out quick..I hope I am wrong ...

You forgot we also couldn't stop the sorry Lions from driving the field with less than a minute to go.

We are gonna lose our way out of the playoffs this week.

Yet we beat GB and Baltimore, that's why you play the games. Anything can happen on any given Sunday. Call me delusional, but I think our D will be better with Cravens playing S and having Lynden Trail instead of Houston Bates as our 4th pass rusher, he adds length and athletism to the mix.

There is a reason why the NFL scheduling changed over the last several years. Recall the days when the last 2-3 games of the regular season were against out-of-conference opponents when playoff positions were already locked up. Lots of folks poo-pooing that because teams would not play their starters in those games.

Now they purposely schedule division games at seasons end.

Why?

Kirk is playing for a contract that's a big one
It's a home game and practically a playoff game
The Giants have no reason to risk their starters I would pill Eli an O'Dell after one series

MEH, just positioning is all.

I remember when Ray Lewis was in the final year of his contract with the Ravens and he was telling everyone he was "going to have a Star on his helmet' next season. And we all know where he stayed.

Can't please everyone bro. Also nobody thought the giants were going to make a run either the year they were the 6 seed... Same with GB.. Anything can happen in the playoffs.

Yeah but teams that make those kind of runs (Giants, Ravens, etc) are built around great defenses.

Re: Playoff hunt!
 

After last week I wanna believe the Skins are going to be dominant again on Sunday, but after the Carolina letdown I am not going to get my hopes up again. That was the best opportunity we had all year to make a statement, and the only statement we made is that we couldn't be trusted to get the job done.

Is this a winnable game? Absolutely. Should we win considering all the factors? Definitely. If we play up to our potential and they rest key guys, should this be a close game? Absolutely not. Yet for some reason I'm not sold. I'm putting 90% odds that we will win this game, but the Redskins have always been that team that will beat the odds (in the worst possible way) when you least expect it.

Case in point, Carolina game. The Redskins had an easily winnable game against a mediocre team with an injured star qb. It was on national tv in front of the whole world. All they had to do was win in order to take control of the 6th seed and their playoff destiny. The least they could've done is shown up, but they were never in the game. The final score was closer than the game ever was. I'm sure they also saw the stat that we were 1-16 in our last 17 home MNF games, with a -200 jillion point differential that was leaps and bounds worse than any other team in the NFL. And yet they still looked like dogshit, like they didn't want it.

Also final reason I'm not picking the Skins, is because I'm watching the game with my boys this weekend and whenever we get together (usually for primetime games) the Skins always lose. Prove me wrong Skins, I'd be more than happy to be proven wrong in this case.

I know what the writer is trying to say, but the bolded part of this quote from Oddsshark seems wrong to me:

[QUOTE][B]The path to the playoffs doesn’t get much simpler for the Washington Redskins,[/B] as a victory against the New York Giants in Week 17 almost certainly sends them to the postseason. The only way the Redskins don’t make the playoffs with a win is if the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions play to a tie. Washington has traditionally struggled against New York, going 6-15 SU in their past 21, but did eke out a victory earlier this season.[/QUOTE]

I don't think the team could have given themselves a more convoluted path (unless we consider Tampa Bay). They have dipped in and out and in again. I hope next week the team puts themselves in for good!

I hope they do play them all game because I believe we win again but I'm telling u they will sit after half, especially with all of the injuries happening.

Re: Playoff hunt!
 

I'm not worried about the Giants' offense playing. Except for Beckham, they otherwise suck. I'm focused on their defense.

If McAdoo is an idiot he would play the guys who are hurting, like Janoris Jenkins and Snacks Harrison. But he's not an idiot. I think a lot of the defensive starters will play, but the ones who are questionable definitely will not.

And if the key components of the defense take a set, then we're in good shape. I think Eli will definitely start the game, but if we can put a hat on him a couple times then McAdoo will wise up and get him out of there. Not sure if that's necessarily a good thing though, the dude throws more INTs than any 'franchise' QB out there.

Beckham is the only thing that scares me.

Re: Playoff hunt!
 

What Schneed said.

I don't care what they say right now, they won't play any guys that are the least bit questionable, and any starters that do play likely won't go more than a half.
