I think it can be put to bed now. The Gmen came back to take the jaguars and the Bucs are doing a pretty good job against the Ravens. They only gave up a 40+ yard FG thus far in Baltimore. ATL won a thriller in the Dome, and Chicago and Philly are neck and neck in Chitown, while we lost to a 41 year old QB and a team that is already out of the equation.

Think we can stop bumping this thread now. Unless your a Giants or Eagles fan. Time for the pad lock.

Okay granted, there has been 2 wins in my lifetime, but I was 2 and 6.. I just need 1 more!

Yeah same here. I wasn't born yet in '88 when they won their 2nd, and I was 3 after the '91 season when they won their 3rd. I've never seen the Skins advance beyond the divisional round of the playoffs yet. All I want is to see at least one championship winning team in my lifetime.

And this thread can be shut down. Sorry Ace, I know the playoffs mean a lot to you, but at least this team is better than last year. We've already won 1 more game than last year and there's plenty of time left to win more. Maybe we'll be able to do playoffs next season if we continue to make this team better in the offseason.

Im with you. I was born in 84, so i never really remember a championship Redskins team. I hope i live to see a championship team in my lifetime. I will probably never live long enough to see the Redskins win another superbowl.

[GusFrerotte]

Damn I remember them all except our 73 SB appearance.

For Redskins' playoffs, progress both look rather improbable down the stretch - @TBD Skins | TBD.com

Everything we needed to happen to help this team...happened.
With the exception of the Giants winning.
(and that one was the least one to worry about, since we still play them twice still.)

I truly don't know what to say...

But I will say this...to get in...we have to win the Division.

Too bad our remaining games aren't on the road.
This team can't win at home...

Pathetic

[Takeuon]

Well only scoring a measley 13pts again isn't going to scare anyone! LOL

This team has zero chance of making the playoffs this year.

[aceinthehouse]

I actually like are chances against the Giants at the *New* Meadowlands...

and they don't have a worse record than us, or a rookie quarterback, or an interim coach.
Easy Money baby!

[aceinthehouse]

Yea...forget about winning a wildcard

But we could still win the division.

We're 2 games back with 5 to go.
We probably need to sweep the Giants and beat Dallas,giving us 3 more wins (or currently 8)

This would give us a 5-1 division record. Meaning...we probably need 1 more win at least for a 9-7 overall record...being Jacksonville or Tampa....

Simply put?
---------------------------------------------------------
If we win the rest of our division games (@Dallas and Giants X2)
giving us a 5-1 division record

Philly wins no more than 2 of their 3 remaining division games at best(Dallas X2 and @Giants)
But still manages to have same record as Skins. (be it 10-6 or 9-7 and gives the eagles a 4-2 Division record at best)

and Giants lose to redskins X2 (10-6) or possibly 1 more game(9-7),then the Redskins will win division.

In other words...the only reason why we are still in it,is because of 2 reasons
1)We still manage to have a 2-1 division record with 3 more to go. (possibly 5-1)
2)And there are 5 games remaining and we are only back 2 of them

Dallas still has Philly X2
and the Giants still have Philly once

Forget about a wild card..it won't happen.
If we get in,it's because we won the division.

If we beat the Giants and Texans beat philly..we are 1 game back
Don't give up now...it be a crime.

[aceinthehouse]

Oh..the irony in this situation..lol

The one thing that has haunted the Redskins for a decade (or since 1999) has been the ability to win the division. (or win division games)

And here we are right now...that is the only way we can make the playoffs and we still have a chance to do that.

lol you're not even 30 yet. Considering the Skins have appeared in 5 of the first 44 Super Bowls, chances are good you could see it again in your lifetime.

lockout superbowl seasons are our specialty!
