[quote=Ruhskins;761621]Unless there is a big drop off in their performance, I can see the Eagles going 4-2 in their finals 6 games[/quote]

Kolb will probably be responsible for the losses, as Vick does seem a bit brittle and may miss time again.

OK..original post updated

I'm worried that its more of a hail mary attempt for the Skins to make it into the plyaoffs and that they are chasing "Waterfalls". We are far from a worthy playoff team at that but "I ain't too proud to beg".Meanwhile, the NFC south is 13-7 and is playing great ball in the past 5 weeks while the NFC West is 7-13 and is garunteed a playoff spot.

Re: OK..BYE's are over: Time to keep track of our Playoff hopes thread
 

I really think we would have to win out just to make it. We might be looking at one NFC South team going 10-6 and still not making it. I know we've done that in the past but the main difference between those teams and this year's team is that this year's defense is pretty bad and the offense has had its' problems too. I just think the NFC is too stacked to make it this season.

Re: OK..BYE's are over: Time to keep track of our Playoff hopes thread
 

I think we have to win out and have some other miracles happen around the league. But we're not a playoff type of team right now so winning out is highly unlikely.

Our problem is NFC South...Very very very strong teams and records

Too bad we're not in the NFC West.

I wish the Lombardi trophy was "In our arms tonight" but I fear we are "Scrubs" and the OL is too "Damaged" to withstand future pass rushes.

OK...Saints win and go 8-3..
and Dallas is 3-8

We can now hope we get some help from Dallas to beat Philly once/twice.(Dallas is finished...you can take them out of any Playoff scenarios)
This would be huge,if we can string some wins together.

Big games this weekend guys...
A bears win over philly
A Jags win over G-Men
A Falcons win over G.B.
and a Ravens win over Tampa
...with us beating Minny would be [B]HUGE!![/B]

We don't need them all,but even 1 or a couple will help us a bunch.
But no matter what....if we win this weekend,we're playing for 2nd place next week.

HTTR!!

Our best bet for the playoffs is any scenario that has us tied with the Packers, Bears and/or Bucs (assuming we can beat them in a few weeks) since we have a better head to head record with them. While a win this weekend would of course be big, we need to win at least one Giants game and the Bucs game far more. 9-7 will probably be good enough for the final NFC spot. The Bears, Giants and Bucs have brutal upcoming schedules and while we don't have an easy slate, by comparison it's not nearly as daunting.

Hopefully the NFC East looks like this Monday Morning

Eagles 7-4 (lost to Bears)
Redskins 6-5 (beat Vikings)
Giants 6-5 (lost to Jags)
[B]Cowboys 3-8 (lost to Saints)[/B]

Rest of NFC...
----------------------------------------------------
Bears 8-3 (beat philly)
Packers 7-4 (Lost to Atlanta)
Vikings 3-8 (Lost to Skins)

Atlanta 9-2 (beat packers)
[B]Saints 8-3 (beat dallas)[/B]
Tampa Bay 7-4 (Lost to Ravens)

Not only would we be just 1 game back from the NFC East Division lead(philly),but only 1 game off one(6th seed) of the two final Wildcard playoff spots as well. ( Packers or Tampa Bay would currently share the 6th seed)

(Saints would hold the 5th seed)

We can do this!!
Go Redskins!

Man stop analyzing what needs to happen. This is what needs to happen: We win out. Because a potentially 13-3 NFC South team will take the 5 seed, and if you want to be the 6th seed that's what we gotta do. Right now there are 7 teams with better records ahead of us in the NFC, and we're not even counting the NFC West winner which has to take 1 playoff spot.

Teams with better records than us:
Philly
NYG
Atlanta
New Orleans
Tampa Bay
Chicago
Green Bay

The only team on that list that has 6 or less wins is NY. It helps we have 2 games against them, but you need to remember those 7 teams are fighting for 5 playoff spots (Don't include the 6th because NFC West has to send one team, which will take that spot).

Instead of analyzing who we need to lose, just keep your mind on winning out.
