I live in LA and traveled to DC to see them smack around the 49ers and I'll be in AZ to see them smack around Warner and the Cards (I hope) I was even planning to get the WE WANT DALLAS chant started but things look bleak...BUT I have another playoff possibility...that may be a bit easier...here goes
FIRST - WE NEED TO RUN THE TABLE AND HIT 10 - 6
SECOND - The Giants need to Blow 3 games (including against us in DC)
THIRD - The Cowboys need to Blow 2 games (including against us in DC)
That would give the Cowboys a record of 10 - 6 (we would have the season sweep and the tie breaker) The Giants would then go 9-7 (that gives us a game on them, and we could forget that nasty 36-0 thing) and by that scenario we take the division, and move into the playoffs as a division winner and we don't have to worry about the wildcard stuff that is much harder to come by with teams like the Vikings still in after a 4 game winning streak....That the deal I'm hoping for. HAIL REDSKINS!!!!!!!!!

yeah i agree, i posted this yesterday, i'll post it here too




if we win only 9 games and one of those being the cowboys we will still have a chance to make the playoffs, in other words if we only lose the giants. ONLY IF

1. Cowboys lose giants, us and carolina(very possible, also KC is in there)--they go 9-7 and we have tie breaker!!!!

2. Falcons 3 losses to @Bears @Tampa @Carolina or Carolina---they go 9-7 and we have a better conference record!!!!

3. Vikings lose 2 to @Lions, Rams, @Ravens, Steelers or Bears---they go 9-7 we win tie breaker

4. Eagles lose to us-- we win tie breaker at 9-7

5. Rams lose to us-- we win tie breaker at 9-7


If all those things happen we make playoffs at 9-7 if we only lose to the Giants. If we lose to the boyz boyz can win out exept for the skins game and giants have to lose to philly and washington and we win tiebreaker or they could lose to KC or @ Oakland

EXTREMELY UNPROBABLE, i say if we only lose to the gints we have a 20% shot

I love all the crazy scenarios this time of year, but I think our chances are paper thin at this point.

Unless this team turns on a dime, we'll be on the outside looking in once again.

[BigSKINBauer]

for this to even get close to happening we can only afford to lose to the cardinals and the giants, we must win cowboys, eagles, and rams. if we lose one of those three our chances aren't over but a low chance made even lower

Dude, we'll beat the frickin Giants. Don't be too quick to write that one off as a gimmie. We'll definitely kick their ass!

(of course, they'll probably come back in the 4th quarter and beat us....)

Im with you e16!!!!!!! TIRED of lack of support here. Although i believe much better shot at winning division. Been said here many times but Cowgirls win vs Giants and drop only 1 more...we actually control our own destiny. Chargers have it all on both sides of the ball, we controlled them and had chance to win with Pic in last minutes......(wont go into that 1 though) .

obvioulsy our biggest game is the "Next game" from here on in. But im very confident we win next 2. (and im 50 yrd line row 8 behind skins bench vs Cards) ill be helpin however i can!!!!. Then Dallas G-strings AT HOME...come on people this isnt unrealistic!!!!! I hate how this site gives up, pouts about not watchin another game, puts down great efforts and coaching. But we all gotta vent somehow, so most of it early in the week a dont believe people really mean. GOOOO EEFFFFIIINNNNN REDSKINS!!!!!! Right now, next week, and even if we arent in playoffs anymore!!!!!! I LOVE EM.

This is the freakin' NFL. Any given Sunday. This team can go 5-11 the rest of the way, or it can end up 10-6. There are no teams left that will over power the Redskins - including the Giants. That game was a fluke. Mark my words.

our scheduel down the stretch is pretty favorable, with our hardest games (giants, cowboys) coming at home i still have faith until we are officially eliminated!

It's not over til it over is what I say...we all remember week two against Dallas we were DONE and then...the BOMBS started raining down!!!!!!!!!!so it's not over!!!!We'll take down the Cowboys, the Giants game was a fluke they will be slaughtered, and Philly, AZ and STL should be easy.... BTW I only said the Giants should be a game behind us because it would be a split, but that 36 -0 fluke can come back to haunt us before we get to the division games tiebreaker...at any rate it's not over, but I'm a litte worried. But I'm not giving up on the boys and we are suppose to be the best fans in the largest stadium in the league so I personally feel no one should be writing us off if you are a skins fan, no matter how bad it looks.

I would be thrilled to go 9-7 even if they don't make the playoffs.

[ST21]

I think it would, but lets just try to get to the next game first

[Winskins]

I really think that we need to go 10-6 to win this. I think either the Giants or Cowboys will win the division, and most likely one of these teams will end up at either 10-6 or 9-7. However, there are a lot of other tough teams in the NFC that I believe can get up to a 10-6 record for the wild cards (don't know the exact wild card standings right now). The good thing is that if we do finish up at 10-6 we would almost certainly win the tiebreaker with our outstanding NFC record. With 9-7 we would most likely just end up with a crappy draft pick next year, especially considering we don't have a 1st rounder.

Beat the Giants, the Cowboys, and the Eagles and we're in. To think otherwise is just crazy.!


It's that simple folks.
