Vikings 3-8 (Lost to Skins)
Atlanta 9-2 (beat packers)
Saints 8-3 (beat dallas)
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 5th 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.
