Redskins vs. Giants Week 17 kickoff moved back to 4:15 p.m.
By Rick Maese

The Redskins' season finale against the visiting New York Giants, originally scheduled for 1 p.m. next Sunday, has been moved back and will now kick off at 4:15 p.m.

At 6-9, the Redskins are mathematically eliminated from playoff contention, but the Giants, who enter next week's game with 9-6 record, are still in the hunt.

The Redskins returned to Washington on Sunday night and because of their 20-17 overtime win over the Jaguars, most players will be off Monday and will report to Redskins Park on Wednesday morning to begin preparations for the Giants.

Nice, now I can "work" on a Sunday and leave semi- early and make it for the game and not get the evil eyes no more.

Wonderful. Another nationally televised game ... we know how those usually go.

Would be a heck of a way to end the season ruining the Giants playoff hopes.

If the mean something to the Giants, we'll lose. If the Giants are already eliminated, we probably win.

I wholeheartedly disagree. In all likelihood, Coughlin gets an extension if the Giants make the playoffs, which is good for the skins. If the Giants miss the playoffs, Coughlin's fired, Cowher is likely hired, and the Giants will be a really really good football team for the next 10-15 years. For the skins long-term benefit, we need to hope Giants make the playoffs and keep coughlin around another few years. That way, the Giants will stay mediocre and Cowher can go to an AFC team.

However, If the skins do win, then it makes me feel much more confident in our team. I realize its just a 1 game difference, a 7-9 team seems infinately better than a 6-10 team to me. We are what we are, but in my opinion, we're about as good of a 6-9 team as we could be now. In the 15 games we've played so far, we've either had the lead, or been within a score of taking the lead, in 13 of the 15 games we've played this year. If Shanahan can do that with the atrocious "talent" we have on our roster, imagine how well we would have played if he had inherited a halfway decent roster or there had been a decent free agent class this past offseason. if Shanahan can bring in a bunch of high-character, highly competitive, well-priced, slightly-above-average free agents (as opposed to one or vincent jackson/Larry Fitzgerald types, we could have a scary good team next year.

Cowher is overrated.

New York Giants still stranded in Wisconsin due to a snowstorm - ESPN New York

This also should help some.

I don't think just getting to the playoffs necessarily saves Coughlin's job.
