I want the Skins to go. But we play so damn inconsistently I'm close to saying, "Why bother?" Granted I'd love to see them take a wild card slot, eat their spinach and beat the shit out of the NFC. I hope I live to see that. (I wasn't alive/old enough to see Gibbs 1.0)

You don't have to think playoffs. They are 5 weeks of better football away.

But you can't deny that out of all the teams, we probably have the single best chance to get the 6th seed.

Granted, that best chance makes it far from a likelihood. The Lions, Cards, Saints, Vikings, and even Bears are all going to fight it out with us. But look at those teams. Two of em we already hold the tiebreaker over, two we still have a chance to beat.

The only team who has the tiebreaker on us is New Orleans, and they are probably the worst team of the bunch.

I understand the frustration, but if the Skins can't even think playoffs then who in the NFC can? Minnesota (and Eli Manning) but up 41 but their defense scored three of those TDs, don't look for that happening again soon. NO is up and down and they can't run the ball and play bad defense. For Detroit just see NO and add that they play Dallas and Green Bay. Chicago can't score if you don't kick to Hester, the guy had two TDs today, hopefully the Redskins special teams gets the hint. Philadelphia really looked impressive against the Pats so we'll see, Feely looked a lot better (particularly with his accuracy) than McNabb has this season. Arizona managed to lose the 49ers and if anyone watched the game it was worse than any of the Skins collapses this season, absolutely incredible. And add to that, as long as Eli Manning is the QB the Giants are not going to win a playoff game, and they are prone to collapse. Did anyone see his press conference after the game? He basically said, "sometimes people throw four interceptions, these things happen." The guy doesn't see to give a f*#$! That first pick was patented Eli, he threw the ball while falling down because he is absolutely terrified of contact. The guy was born to be a punter, and as someone pointed out to me last week, in the greatest season of Eli Manning's life, he has worse numbers than Joey Harringon...

The Skins have to beat Buffalo, but none of those other teams are clear cut winners. The real bottom line is that the #6 seed in the NFC just isn't going to be a very good team.
