I hear science will soon make it possible for people to live hundreds of years. So just think of the possibilities.

Why would you be at least 70? Who's to say they don't go to one within the next 10 years?

Well if history repeats itself it wouldn't be that long. I'm 22 now. The Redskins went to their first Super Bowl in '72, which was 6 years after it was announced that was the name of the championship game, but they didn't win their first Super Bowl until '82, so using that timeframe from 6 years from now the Skins might make the Super Bowl in 2017 (I'll go 6 years from the date of this year's SB) but they won't win it until 2027, which by that time I'll be 38. That still is a lengthy drought though, I don't want to wait another 16 years. The Cowboys/Eagles/Giants could have multiple opportunities at more trophies by then.

But then again, the 'Skins SB drought could last decades, or just a couple years. We just need to right the ship, I'd rather be a team that wins multiple SB's than win just 1 in the next couple decades.

This thread is not silly...nor is it an "ass thread".

Look on a Giants board for one of those.

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.

Sometimes after I read your posts my head hurts.

I honestly feel bad for you younger fans. All you guys have seen is losing.

Hey, I've had some moments, 14-13 in '05, 35-7 in '05, Sean Taylor returning the Eagles fumble to seal the win and the playoffs for the Redskins in '05, 5 in a row or we don't go in '05, beating the Bucs in the playoffs in '05, beating the Cowboys miraculously in '06 on S.T's return of a blocked field goal, winning 4 in a row at the end '07 to make the playoffs again, and I s'pose that covers most of it. Success will come to those that are patient, and I'm just going to have to be patient until the 'Skins turn this ship around.

Playoffs? Playoffs? You're talkin about playoffs?

Lulz. Today should only cement the theory that we are not a playoff team.

For the love of God, someone please shut down this thread.

Anyone with a semblance of sense should have penciled in the Giants as victors against us. I'm not what people were forgetting when they were thinking we could beat them.

Time to really proofread my posts, as I meant to say "I'm not sure...".

This team goes 5-11. There isnt a single game coming up that we can win. We have no offense, no defense...this team is in shambles. I have to say it, but the "new and improved" redskins, are no better than last year.
