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

TB: Young, exciting team that is playing with a "let's show them" type attitude. Can fall down the stretch if Freeman and Blount get hurt, but their defense is solid also. This is a definite must win if we are a playoff team (You're right...a must win game)

GB: Too powerful all around to fall from grace, unless they get decimated in the next month. (they are decimated....with injuries.) Not to mention their schedule is pretty tough. The Redskins have a great chance at catching Green Bay and we own the tiebreaker.

ATL: Another loaded team that is relatively young. Killer schedule might hamper them, but if they prevail against the Pack I am all in with them getting the first round bye. (mark in the book...they will make the Playoffs as a division winner or wildcard. They are so-so on the road...Matt Ryan and the falcons don't lose at home.I think he's 18-1 or something crazy at home..and guess who they play at home this weekend against...Packers

Chi: Great D, decent O line and running game, but stuck with a bipolar passing attack, that can hinder the running game. Too bad we couldn't play them. (Great Defense with an inconsistent offense and QB.) 3-0 in division will probably get them the division as well,but if they fall...they could miss it outright because we DID play them Gus and we own the tiebreaker on them.

Gmen: THis team is hurting in my opinion and we all know Eli is pretty erratic like Cutler. I can see us splitting the series with the Gmen and maybe sweeping them if we get Eli on two "off" days. (We better at least split the series with them..or we won't make the post season.) With the injuries they have and at the WR core...we might actually be able to sweep them. No more old Meadowlands where we always lost. Hopefully the new one,brings Redskins luck.

Philly: Might get beat up a bit in Chicago, but other than that they will be a 11-12 victory team. And seeing what they did to us on MNF, we simply can't touch that!! (Has Zero Defense!) Here are the scores they've allowed from week 1-12 in consecutive weekly order...27,32,3,17,24,17,37,24,28,17. Besides their lonely game where they allowed just 3 pt's against Jacksonville....their BEST defensive performance on points allowed this season is 17 points in a 3-way tie. 2 of those 3 games of the 17 points....they won the game.Only against the Redskins, where they only allowed 17..did they lose. Maybe not this week,maybe not next...maybe not till the championship game...but eventually,a bad defense will cost ya! Look at Vick and how Awesome that offense is.....Now Flip it over....that's how bad their defense is. If any team on their schedule even plays decent on Defense or learns to slow Vick down...Eagles are in trouble! The Redskins have statistically,the #32 last ranked defense in the NFL. As bad as ours may look....I would rather have ours,when you look at points allowed on a consistent basis.

NO: The defending champs aren't playing explosive ball as of late on offense, but they are winning regardless, and are still solid on both sides of the pigskin. NO or ATL will get a frist round bye. (Team is looking like the old team of last season now) Still the most dangerous team in th NFC imo...It would be nice if they don't have home field advantage this season as a division winner. They will be hard to beat.

NFC West Champ: It is a shame that the division winners are locked into the playoffs, because the Skins could win a rematch against the Rams and could beat down the Seahawks most Sundays. (It is a shame)...hopefully they are discussing a 7th playoff team in the Collective Bargaining agreement. Pretty sad that there might be an 8-8 or even 7-9 playoff team from the NFC West and a couple of dbl digit win teams sitting at home.
We have a good chance so far...
We just need to win and everything will fall in place.
