If we can take care of business against the Bears and Lions on the road,which won't be easy...but certainly winnable games..we have a chance at taking the flag at the final turn.

Currently we are in 3rd place in the Division.
Giants are 4-2
Eagles are 4-2
Redskins are 3-3
and Dallas is 1-4

As much as I don't want to admit to it,I believe we want the Cowboys to beat the Giants and here's why.

The redskins have a chance to go 5-3 before the Bye week..if we can beat the bears and Lions.

The Giants play @Dallas,then have a bye...Then they go @Seattle, which I think Seattle can win cause we all know they always play like SB contenders at Quest field lol. Then the Giants face Dallas again but at home...Those are 3 games they very well can & and might lose. That would drop there record to 4-5 and being swept by Dallas and 0-2 in the division.

Dallas has the Giants,then they have Jacksonville,then they play @ Green bay,then @ Giants again...If Dallas could sweep the Giants,that would give them 3 wins there...If they somehow could lose either the jags or packers game,they would be tied with the same record as the Giants with a 4-5 overall record and at best...5-4 at best and a 3-6 at worse and still sweeping the giants.

The Eagles have @Tennessee then a bye week. Then they play the Colts and then our Redskins on Monday Night. They easily could lose all 3 games and a loss against us on Monday Night gives us a seep over them and they have a 4-5 record just like the Giants and possibly Cowboys.

A best case scenario could look like this...
So the standing would look like this after week 10...
Redskins 6-3 (3-0 in Division) and 6-1 in Conference with sweep over Eagles
Giants 4-5 (0-2 in Division) and 3-3 in Conference while swept by Dallas
Eagles 4-5 (0-2 in Division) and a 3-3 in Conference while swept by Skins
Cowboys 3-6 (2-1 in Division) and a 2-4 Conference while swept Giants

Crazy..Isn't it?
Well,that's how it will look if we win our next 3 games over Bears,Lions and Eagles
Dallas beats Giants both times and loses to G.B. and Jaguars
Eagles lose to Titans,Colts and Skins

Obviously,the toughest part is us winning 3 games in a row..lol

Dallas beating the Giants twice very well could happen as the giants don't play them very well. Going @ G.B could see a loss for Dallas...The wild card is that Dallas and Jacksonville game..But we can still hope for dallas to play like we know they can in this one..lol

I can see the eagles losing the next 3 easily..with Kolb or Vick..

Now why would this be huge at this part of the schedule?
Because that very next week in week 11,we have the Redskins @ Tennessee
Detroit @ Dallas
and the Giants @ Eagles matchup

One or the other in the Giants/Eagles gives 1 team 3 losses in the division in a loss here. We probably root for an eagles win here because we would have the sweep over them. It would also be their 1 division win,while we have 3 still....

So even if we lost to @Tennessee and were 6-4 and eagles win and go 5-5...we still carry a 1 game 1/2 lead over them with a sweep. Giants are in trouble here with a 4-6 record here and 0-3 in the division. (haven't even played us yet!)

We beat the Titans and that would make things even sweeter going 7-3.

I honestly don't even bother looking ahead on the schedule. Teams get hot and cold so fast, a team that looks like a win right now could be playing totally different a few weeks from now, so it's tough to really gauge things more than a few games down the line.

We've got a good shot to be 5-3 at the bye, that's as far ahead as I'm looking right now.

Funny you started this thread because just last night I was looking over our schedule and was thinking the exact same thing. Go Skins.

Chico23231 · 10-20-2010, 03:39 PM

Yeah ACE i cant defend you on this thread...way to much going on. We just need to focus on one game at a time. If we went 5-3 into the bye, I think we have easily exceeded many expectations.

firstdown · 10-20-2010, 03:51 PM

Well why do we have to focus on one game at a time its not like we are actually playing in the game. I think we need to start talking Playoffs.

YouTube - Playoffs??? The Sound Byte

DCtoAZ · 10-20-2010, 04:46 PM

UHHH .. how about one week at a time dude ... you can't predict all that madness .. i'm confident but aware that next 2 weeks will be tough tough games ... lions maybe harder than bears

Did you do the field research on that one?

Is that a new viagra commercial in the making?

Maybe that's just b/c the lionesses are hotter?

What were you wearing when you checked?

SirClintonPortis · 10-20-2010, 06:54 PM

I can't believe some people still have an elitist attitude regarding the Redskins strengths.

The Lions have Megatron, Jahvid Best for offensive weaponry. I hope you fellas remember that Kevin Smith was having fun time with us last year, and Best is far deadlier than Smith.

They have Suh facing Hicks+Rabach.

Trent will be facing Kyle Vanden Bosch.

Also, you could say they are the Titans north in terms of their approach to defence. They'll be flying all over the place to level McNabb.

To the degree the Lions game is mentioned in this thread, the overall gist of the comments is that it will actually be a tough game for the Redskins to win, most likely tougher than the game against the Bears. And I don't think anyone needs to be reminded of last season's game against them. Who is exaggerating the Redskins' strenghts?

See JoeRedskins post. My post was mainly in response to him.

Ace, I would say the same about your threads. Tone it down some, you don't have to rush to start a thread every time.

We should take things one game at a time in my opinion. We haven't shown yet that we can consistently be counted on to win the games we're "supposed" to win

Agreed. This thread is already being discussed:
