If the skins win their next two, you guys will be thinking 13-3, 12-4 and home-field.

If we win our next two, I'm going start getting very, very excited. Honestly, I'd be happy with a split. Both games are going to be complete dogfights and they are both very, very vital in what happens for the rest of our season.

Depends on how they win. If we blow the midgets and Iggles off the field, then it's certainly possible, although home-field is a stretch.

i think we're looking at 10-6, but could do better if our D stops giving up 80yard runs every game...

One thing is for sure, neither the Eagles nor the Giants can afford to play us close. I also don't believe neither are capable of putting us away early - which also proves not to work. They are going to have to hope we put the ball on the ground. Basically, they're going to have to rely on us beating ourselves like we did the last two weeks.

Nobody on the schedule really scares me, right now the Skins are capable of beating anybody.

If they just go 6-4 the rest of the way that gets them to 10 wins and in all likelihood a playoff spot.

The great thing going for the Redskins right now, is that their 2 loses are against the AFC, which in the tiebreaker situations is way down the list. As long as they keep winning NFC games, that will help tremendously in the tiebreaker department.

FRPLG · 10-23-2005, 10:06 PM

We can beat any team in the league hands down. Not in an 'any given sunday' way either. We play our game we don't lose another game. Period. Now clearly that is not reasonable but I think we do have a reasonable shot to go 10-6 or 11-5. It's all about injuries at this point. Keep Brunell, Moss, o-line healthy and get our secondary back at full strength and we are a force week in and week out. It can't be seen any other way.

FRPLG · 10-23-2005, 10:08 PM

And if we go 4-2 against the divison for the year that make us 7-4 without counting the other games. Then we'd need 3-2 against outside division opponents which certainly doable.

SUNRA · 10-23-2005, 10:17 PM

I've looked at our schedule this year a thousand times and I still see us winning the division. One reason is we play the Eagles at home on the first match-up. Secondly, I see us winning both against the Giants and Eagles and destroying Dallas in December.

The Redskins in defeat, have dominated every opponent in time of possession. In fact, we lead the league in that area. This is crucial if we are to win our division and secure a home field advantage later on. I think to predict a loss to any team at this crucial point has to difficult because no team we have to face has been as consistent as we have as playing for 60 minutes and never surrendering until the clock says 0:00.
I'm glad we lost two games in the early part of the season because those games allowed us to see our weaknesses and make the neccessary adjustments. Lavar fits right in that equation. Redskins record 12-4.

I love the optimism! Good to see it around here after the last couple of weeks.

Let's not let JG hear us making any of these predictions because he would think we all have lost it. lol The way we're playing now 10-6 seems within reach. I feel that our focus now is in the realization we can control what happens in the NFC east. I also concur with those who maintain we can beat any team in the league if we 1. Don't turn the ball over, 2 Don't accumulate stupid penalties 3 Win the give-away-take away battle. It's good to be in the position where we control our own destiny and not have to depend on others. It's all up to us.

Go Redskins!!! Playoffs in 05 for sure.

That's really not saying much. This can be said about any team in the league.

Not necessarily so. There are teams in the league that can do everything right and still lose. The Redskins are impossible to beat if they don't committ stupid penalities (especially the personal foul variety) and if they don't turn the ball over. The Redskins are tough to beat when they do commit penalites and turnovers. The Giants are in for probably their hardest two games of the season.

BigSKINBauer · 10-23-2005, 10:50 PM

what will be good enough to let us win the division???
I say 11 wins will tie it so if we win all of our divisional games we will break the tie breaker. 12 will win it

What is good enough to get us a playoff spot through wildcard???
i say we need atleast 10
