We can clinch a playoff spot this week (I think)

I was looking at conference records etc., we are 2 games up on the 8-6 teams (Atl, Dal, and Min)

If we beat NYG,

And 1. ATL loses to TB (road game)
Very possible.
2. Dal loses to Carolina (road game) I would expect this to happen.
3. Min loses to BAL (road game). After watching the ravens last night, albeit the packers, i think they have a shot against Minn.

I think we would have ourselves a playoff spot on XMAS day (thats when Min and Bal play).

Correct me if im wrong...

From ESPN.com:

• The Redskins clinch a playoff spot with:
1. A win and a Cowboys loss and a Vikings loss and a Falcons loss

This whole playoff scenario makes me clinch.

Only problem is, Tampa Bay played like ass this weekend, and Baltimore sucks. Let's hope Tampa Bay can get their heads back on straight, and Boller can play like he played last night.

That would be a great XMAS present, wow

cool thing is we are still in the running for a first week bye. we would want different outcomes but i will be hoping for us to clinch so we can walk into the eagles with our heads up and hoping for a giants loss to get a 3rd seed and a home game.
It also is very possible that the cowboys us and the giants all go to the playoffs as long as the tampa loses one and the cowfruits win out. That would put us at 5th seed dallas at 6th and giants at 3 or 4 most likely and a possibility of a home NFC championship against the boys

So wait we could go 9-7 and still get in?

The Skins control their own destiny, but I am worried about the Giants. I am just hoping that the Giants continue to play poorly on the road. They are 3-3 on the road They beat New Orleans on the road (yeah right, it was at their house), Philly and San Fran. All really bad teams. They lost to Dallas, San Diego, and Seattle on the road. All pretty good teams. It just tells me that teams over .500 usually beat them when they travel. I hope that trend continues on Saturday.

The Skins need help if they lose, but all 3 teams that we need to lose this week are all on the road.

So wait we could go 9-7 and still get in?

Yes, if the Skins, Boys, Vikings, and Falcons all go 1-1 over their last 2 games then the Skins hold the tiebreakers over what would be the other three 9-7 teams. The Skins at 9-7 would be the 6th seed and right now face the Giants or Bears or Panthers in the first round.

So wait we could go 9-7 and still get in?
The Skins' three pronged magic number is two. Any combination of wins by us and losses by Atl,Dal or Minn that equals two disqualifies that team. We win tie-breakers over each of those teams no matter what.
All we need to do is take care of business. I'd love 2 wins and a (x fingers) a home playoff game if possible but it is extremely unlikely. We'd have to win out and the Giants and TB would need to lose out. Their schedules don't make losing out look possible.
