4-2 the rest of the way?

[MTK]

The magic number is 10 wins folks, and even that might not lock down a playoff spot. So that means the Redskins need to go 4-2 the rest of the way. Do you think it can be done? At this point I have my doubts, but looking at the schedule it's certainly reasonable, assuming they can get some sort of offense going.

11/23 @ Seattle
11/30 vs NY Giants
12/7 @ Baltimore
12/14 @ Cincinnati
12/21 vs Philadelphia
12/28 @ San Francisco

So I'm thinking it looks like

11/23 @ Seattle W
11/30 vs NY Giants L
12/7 @ Baltimore L
12/14 @ Cincinnati W
12/21 vs Philadelphia W
12/28 @ San Francisco W

I'm thinking you could exchange a Baltimore W for a Bengals L, but the Bengals are pretty terrible. And I'm thinking we're better than the Ravens as well. But God knows all our woes, we might end up botching both games, but I hope not. We can't make a wildcard slot at 9-7?

Seattle, Philly, and SF should all be easier games that should most definitely be wins.

I think we'd have a really tough time beating the Giants or the Ravens and I think we lose to one of the other four teams that we should beat. So, I think we go 9-7 and miss the playoffs. It's a tough pill to swallow - starting out 6-2 and going 3-5 down the stretch.

I hate to say it but it doesn't look good and to think we were so high just a few weeks ago. This team is as bad as the 7-1 Turner team that end up crumbling. Why can't we have any offense in Washington?

No pass blocking, no offense. Simple

Wow, looking at these games I can see the Skins going 0-6 but I dont think that's likely. I'd like the Skins to win Sea & SF if they were home but they are on the west coast and the Skins seem to struggle with trips to the west coast. They wont beat the Giants. Balt wont be easy in Balt. Cinn gave Philly all they could handle in Cinn but it depends which Cinn team shows up. Phil is always a tough game.

4-2 would be an amazing run for this team and they made a run like that last year but those things dont happen often. My prediction is 3-3 or 2-4. I cant believe I'm saying this but the Skins wont make the playoffs.

[Vulta121]

of course it can be done i think we can even go 6-0 or 5-1 with our talent. But I'm sure we'll choke and go 3-3

[TheMalcolmConnection]

I think we most definitely have to take out Philly and then ten wins will look better for the playoffs. If we can handle Seattle, Philly, SF and Baltimore, we're gonna' be doing good.

I'm most nervous about stinkin' ass Baltimore. The way we play against good defenses this year is very discouraging.

yeah im with you, against good defenses our offensive limitations really come into play.

i know i say this alot but im just happy we get to play some meaningful football at the end of the year. last year when we clinched a playoff spot the atmosphere at fed ex was awesome. guys and girls running up to each other giving hugs, huge genuine smiles on everyones faces . . . having to fight to make the playoffs and doing so is really special after a long hard fought year.

Skins needing to play tough to clinch a playoff spot. would you want it any other way? no me, weve played hard for 10 games to set up this opportunity to go to the playoffs and i wouldnt have it any other way!!

go skins!!!!

I agree, but Seattle will probably give us an indication of we are playoff bound. We get beat by the Seahawks, then all bets are off in my mind. Every game from then, with the exception of the Bengals is a potential loss. Our defense is solid, but it can't put points on the board. Our offense is horrible now. Starting to think the WCO sucks!!!!!

It might be too early to get into all the tiebreakers, but the bottom line is that if the Redskins win the four conference games left they would be all but guaranteed the Wild Card. That would give them a 9-3 conference record and 4-2 division record. That would give them the tiebreaker over any non-division opponent for the Wild Card save Atlanta (who could end up with a 9-3 conference record as well). It would also give them the tiebreaker over Philadelphia in division. It would then come down to common games with Atlanta (Detroit, St. Louis, Philadelphia, New Orleans I think) and Dallas (14 games), assuming all finished with the same record. Bottom line, Seattle is a huge game this week and one of the four most important games left (and also why it sucks so much that they lost to St. Louis ... would have rather lost to Cleveland).

Must win 12/7 game against Ravens, if you are a Skins fan living in the B-more area you know waht I mean. This is more important then the playoffs.

I know exactly what you mean. Ravens fans absolutely hate the Redskins. I watched the Cardinals game at the Espn Zone in Baltimore and everytime the Redskins failed on a play the crowd cheered. So of course when we made plays, I countered their noise with Hail to the Redskins!

I don't think we're getting to 10 wins.

Seattle...Loss. We never play well there and they have Hasselback now. I don't think we'll win this one.
Giants..Loss. They are the best team in the NFL. We have no chance.
Balt....Loss. They might shut us out.
Cinn....Win. But barely. They played Dallas, Giants and Philly REAL tough.
Philly....Win. We should win this one at home.
SF.....Win. We should take care of business. We are the better team
