Will the Redskins Make the Playoffs

Yeah, I'm guessing the Lions game is really skewing the numbers. But is it skewing? Should we really discredit that dominance as just a bad opponent?

I don't know the answer, and I'm inclined to be on the safe side and give Philly the benefit of the doubt. If their offense was all that bad, I don't think they would have been able to do that against Detroit.

No that is not skewing the numbers. The Lions are 5-2, and everyone who ridiculed Kitna for his preseason 10 win prediction is preparing to season up their foot to stick it in their yap.

The 5-2 is not a fluke.

I think that dominating performance just showed us what the Redskins are capable of, but as of yet something is preventing that consistency. Play calling? Maybe. Who knows? Good teams beat sub-par teams in dominating fashion such as the Lions game. But the Lions are not sub-par. They are lousy on the road, but that in iteself does not explain a blow-out like the one Washington handed them.

I think so because in the NFC mediocre teams can make it.
I agree that the schedule remaining works in our favor.

I don't see how we can win more than couple of more games this season, especially if Gibbs tries to win by "Redskin football," which we cannot play. I expect to see three and out for most of the rest of the season, as well as some futuility records on offense.

Than how do you explain our 4-3 start?

The Redskins are 4-3. They have five eminently winnable games ahead of them on the schedule: Jets, Eagles, Bills, Bears, Vikes. If they take care of business against teams they ought to beat, that gives them 9 wins.

If they beat Tampa Bay - on the road against a good defense and an "efficient offense" that's not a given - that gives them 10 wins right there. And 10 wins definitely gets it done in the NFC.

What they have to do is to avoid throwing in any clunkers in against those teams they should beat...

Doesn't matter we won't get to the big dance or even less win it. How can we deserve playoffs when we are only the 3rd best team in our division? I know it is the NFC East, but c'mon we are playing like horse manure out there. We just very well might get swept by the Cowboys and Gmen this season and probably will sweep the Eagles thank God. If we do make the playoffs playing at the current level, all it will mean is that the product the NFL is putting out there is rather mediocre.

Because being the 3rd or 4th best team right now, does not mean we are destined to be at the end of the year.

Especially since the margin between the teams is so close.

Actually, we'd hold the tiebreaker.

I stand corrected of my own logic, ten wins would get it done. As far as taking the WC goes, those victories over Arizona and Detroit were huge.

I don't think we are going to beat the Jets, because I don't think this team is healthy enough just yet, and I don't think we are going to beat the Vikings. However, I do see us beating the Giants, and taking care of Dallas at home on the seasons final week.

Same ten wins, but we should finish tied with or ahead of the Giants, who still have New England, Dallas, and Philadelphia on their schedule.

It is time to stop having Campbell waste downs by trying to pass we are 25th in NFL passing with half the season over with and just run the ball and try to keep Campbell from fumbling all the time
Then we will not fumble away the playoffs

Dude. Put down the pipe! The Skins will beat the Jets and the Bucs. I don't know about splitting with the Cowboys, that might be two losses. But I think they will rebound and take out the Giants. I'm thinking 11-5 at worst 10-6 which will still be good enough for the second wildcard.


Sorry, but 10-6 doesn't get it done, especially if we lose two or more NFC opponents.
