I mean, they pulled out a lot of the triple option (with receivers playing the pitchmen) looks that they relied on earlier in the season, but that's consistent with the last couple of weeks. They still use play action and read option very effectively. It's mostly the same offense we've seen all year.

Simplified, sure. Probably because of the opponent and RG3's practice availability. Andy Reid and Todd Bowles did a good job attacking our tendencies. We'll surely have a lot of new stuff that Dallas hasn't seen yet for next week.

If we beat the cowboys, We'd be the 4th seed and play Seattle (5th seed) at home in the wild card round. If we won, we'd go on the road to face Atlanta (1st seed) at home in the divisional round.

If the Vikings and bears lose, and we lose, we'd be the 6th seed and play sanfransisco (3rd seed) on the road in the wild card round. If we won that, we'd have to go to lambeau to face the packers.

Which scenario do you think gives us the best chance of making the NFC championship game?

San Francisco route clearly gives us the best chance to win unfortunately some people have to lose for us to get there.

Edit: Another problem is that will make me 800 dollars poorer because I don't miss Redskins games in California

Also if Bears and Vikings lose and we win and Giants win they would get the last WC spot.

Yes but RG3 on turf is almost unstoppable

Atlanta in the playoffs; Huge Chokers. Would not surprise me one bit if we beat them in the playoffs.

Not afraid of Atlanta. If RGIII finishes that game, we likely beat them earlier this year. It was a tie ball game until about 3 minutes to go...KC threw two late int's...

I'm not concerned with the Falcons. They have been undefeated inside the Terror Dome this season which accounts for something. But I agree....that they can be beaten by a team that matches up well with them.

As long as we beat Dallas, I am going to be more worried about Seattle than Atlanta. Seattle has been incredible recently and they're the ones who knocked us out of the playoffs the last two times. I hate Seattle. Atlanta is not as good as their record shows and we can definitely beat them, like we should have beat them earlier in the season.

Time for the Seattle beating us in the playoffs streak to end.
