If we can't win / NO vs. CHI, and MIN vs. DEN

I don't want to back into the playoffs. If we can't beat a Dallas team with nothing to play for, what chance would we have in Seattle? I'd almost prefer staying at home and getting the higher draft pick if we lose to Dallas.

Totally agree with the thinking here. Let's say the Skins lose, the Vikes lose and the Saints lose, the Skins getting in, would make us all feel like being the last kid picked to play on the playground because no one else wants us. "OK, someone has to take them, hey Seahawks, you got them!"

Question:

If we don't beat Dallas, and back in by the other two winning. And Collins throws a few picks, who starts against Seattle then?

I really don't see that happening. Collins is playing very efficent. Even if he has a bad game, he has earned it. Besides, if the Skins lose this week, they don't deserve the Playoffs and I really think that one of the other teams, Vikings or Saints, will win this week anyway. Probably the Saints.

I really don't see a senerio where Collins plays bad, the Skins lose and yet they still get in and Coach Gibbs has to make this decision. If collins plays bad, and the Skins lose, they are done. IF Collins plays great and the Skins win, you have to start Collins @ Seattle.
