dmvskinzfan08 12-02-2008, 12:44 PM Eventhough the Dallas Cowboys are 8-4 I honestly dont see them making the play-offs. It might come down to a tie breaker between the Redskins and Dallas though. This is why. I dont think they will be able to handle the last stretch of games because all of the Defense coming at them are tops in the league.
There remaining games are against Pitt, NYG, Bal, Phil.
At best they will be 10-6. But I think all of these teams can beat Dallas. I definitely see 2-3 loses here. Hopefully they atleast lose to NYG and Phil that would help us the most.
The thing is. If there is a tie breaker with Dallas we would have to win in. The only games that bother me are Baltimore and Philly. If we lose to Baltimore..it doesn't hurt us as bad because its a non conference game. But we can't lose to Philly and we "should" be able to beat Cincy and SF. No game is a definitely though. But if we can get a win against Baltimore. it could possibly set us on a winning streak like we have had 2 out of the last 3 years...
Hogroll 12-02-2008, 12:57 PM I hate to be a nay-sayer, but I don't see us beating Baltimore; as much as I would love to see it, it's not going to happen. I work in Baltimore, and have nothing but Raven fans in my office, I feel like a sheep in the middle of a pack of hungry wolves.
Already, the Ravens are favored by 7 points, Giants were only favored by 3... and we all know what happened there.
To your point though, yes, there is a slim chance we get in; and obviously if we are in, Dallas is not.

So you think Baltimore is a better team than the Giants? I dont think they are even close honestly. I dont think its a slim chance at all. Look at the remaing schedules of other teams in the play-offs. We jsut need to winout. Which I dont think it impossible. i fear Philly more than I do Baltimore. I think Baltimore is a little over-hyped right now.
Oh and to your point if we are in Dallas is obviously not..is not necessarily true. We had three teams from the NFC in the play-offs last year.
prinzeofmoval 12-02-2008, 02:01 PM We have an honest shot against the Ravens As long as we don't turn the ball over and hold to 1-2 sacks we should be in good shape. Their offense is fair not great. Our defense should run on them.
maroonandblack30 12-02-2008, 02:15 PM Ravens are overrated and their record is inflated because they have the easiest schedule in the history of the league. They haven't won a game this year against a team that was over .500 when they played.
The game will be close.

Why should we win against Cincy and Sf? We can't score points. The way we've been playing I'm not sure we can beat Cinci on the road. Baltimore is considered a favorite and is going to be a real tough one. We haven't played well at all against top D's.
I think it's funny that there's alot of should wins out there. The only "should win" out there is Detroit. We beat Det by 8 pts when everyone else was blowing them out of the water. That should tell you something.

Well our O is nothing to be scard of right now. I think we can win but I think t will come down to which teams O can but up some decent points.

To be honest with you I think Dallas is capable of beating Pittsburg, Baltimore and Philly, if the G-men win next week they lock up the division and possibly the #1 seed in the NFC, my guess is they pull some of there key players to save them for the play offs so Dallas can maybe get a win there. With that said the Skins controll their own destiny at this point they have to win and hope for some other tems to lose.

I still say they lose atleast 2 of those last 4 games. I can see any of those teams beating Dallas. If Giants sit their players then that probably willbe an easier route for Dallas. But if not. Its not going to be that easy.
As far as the should..that's better than say we "ARE" going to beat them.
CRedskinsRule 12-02-2008, 02:52 PM We have a decent shot at beating the Ravens, we look awful to the naysayers simply because we cannot beat the elites, we have beaten every one else. Baltimore is not elite yet. To the point of this thread, if Dallas wins out, then they deserve :vomit: to be in the playoffs, because their last 4 games are brutal. I think they lose 2 more, and we win out. Atlanta continues to be the wildcard.
