Playoff Picture

[Schneed10]

Here's what I'm going with for my NFC Wildcard Predictions:

Seattle 9-2: at Philadelphia (Win), San Francisco (Win), at Tennessee (Win), Indianapolis (Loss), at Green Bay (Win)
Chicago 9-3: at Pittsburgh (Loss), Atlanta (Win), at Green Bay (Win), at Minnesota (Win)
Carolina 9-3: Tampa Bay (Win), at New Orleans (Win), Dallas (Win), at Atlanta (Win)
New York Giants 8-4: At Philadelphia (Win), Kansas City (Loss), At Washington (Win), At Oakland (Win)
Tampa Bay 8-4: At Carolina (Loss), at New England (Loss), Atlanta (Win), New Orleans (Win)
Dallas 7-5: Kansas City (Loss), At Washington (Loss), At Carolina (Loss), St. Louis (Win)
Atlanta 7-5: New Orleans (Win), at Chicago (Loss), at Tampa Bay (Loss), Carolina (Loss)
Minnesota 7-5: St Louis (Win), Pittsburgh (Loss), at Baltimore (Win), Chicago (Loss)
Washington 6-6: At Arizona (Win), Dallas (Win), New York Giants (Loss), At Philadelphia (Win)
Philadelphia 5-6: Seattle (Loss), New York Giants (Loss), at St. Louis (Win), at Arizona (Win), at Washington (Loss)

1) Seattle 13-3
2) Carolina 13-3
3) Chicago 12-4
4) New York Giants 11-5
5) Tampa Bay 10-6
6) Washington 9-7 (9-3 in NFC)
Minnesota 9-7 (7-5 in NFC)
Atlanta 9-7 (5-7 in NFC)
Dallas 8-8
Philadelphia 7-9

If the Skins win 3 out of the last 4, I still think they make the playoffs. I think the deck is slightly stacked against Atlanta and Minnesota, and really stacked against Dallas. Going 2-1 against the Eagles, Giants, and Cowboys is an aggressive goal for the Skins, for sure. If the Skins are going to lose one of those games, it has to be to the Giants. Losing to Dallas would let the Cowpies into the picture. I think the last wildcard spot goes to a 9-7 team, and if the Redskins are one of them, they'll get it on the interconference record tiebreaker. 0-4 against the AFC West this year, it sucks looking at it, but I'm glad the wins are coming against the NFC!

We need to root for the Bears a lot coming down the stretch. Their games against the Falcons and Vikings are vital. And Carolina will be our other favorite team, with games against Dallas and Atlanta.

Honestly, I will be very happy if we end up with a winning record in our divison, even if we dont make the playoffs. Odds are if we have a winning record in our divsion we make the playoffs since thats the last three games, but we hvae sucked so bad in our divsion for forever.

Damn folks... we just won ONE. Let's try for two in a row before we start looking at the playoffs.

One game at a time, One week at a time. This is already a better team then last year's. Plus we beat dallas in dallas and beat philly at home.

As for the playoffs - if we play hard each week, don't give up and don't make stupid mistakes, then I say let the chips fall where they may.

We got a month of games left. Let's enjoy each one.

Great point. We haven't been in this type of position this late in the season for a while. The next 4 games should be fun to watch because they are essentially playoff games for the skins. Lose one and we're likely out. If we beat Arizona this week, watching Dallas in our house next week with everything on the line is going to be unbelievable

hard not to look at the playoffs when we are only ONE game out holding the tiebreakers. it is natural since we all thirst for the playoffs so.

I'm with you here. Beat the Cards first. We should kill them, but this team should have killed the Raiders too. We're good enough to beat anyone in the league, but just bad enough to lose to anyone.
