playoff scenarios, what to wish for today
today, as a skins fan, I think we root for both minnesota to lose, and the bears to lose. Minnesota would be knocked out of playoff contention, and I think the Giants would get in regardless of what happens in Oakland since they wouldn't have to worry about a tiebreaker with a team they lost to. If the bears lose, they would drop to 10-5, but they would win the NFC North with a Minnesota loss. Next week, if Minnesota could beat Chicago in the Metrodome in a game that would mean a lot to Chicago in terms of seeding, Chicago would drop to 10-6. If Tampa Bay and Carolina both lost next week, the NFC South Champion would also be 10-6. If the Giants can lose at Oakland, they would drop to 10-6, and we would have to take care of the Eagles to claim the NFC East. If all of the above scenarios played out, and ONLY if that happened, we could clinch the second seed and have a first round bye.
Althugh ts somewhat probable that both Minnesota and Chicago lose today, Minnesota beats Chicago next week at home, Carolina loses to Atlanta at Atlanta, and Kerry Collins gets revenge on Coughlin and the Giants (especially with their depleted LB corps), I don't see Tampa losing to New Orleans at home, although crazier things have happened (Buffalo beating Cincinnati) If NY wins next week, the highest seed we can get is a 5 seed, and in that case, it doesn't really matter whether we get a 5 or a 6 seed, what matters is who we match up against. I would prefer to play the Bucs in Tampa, rather than travel up to Chicago or the Meadowlands. If somehow the Panthers were able to win the NFC south, traveling to Carolina would also be a favorable matchup. Regardless of all the other scenarios, if the Giants lose, and we win, we do get at least ONE Home game. Most importantly, just to get in, WE HAVE TO WIN IN PHILADELPHIA, because Dallas will not lose to St. Louis. Last edited by skinsfan1982; 12-25-2005 at 09:15 AM. Reason: giants loss |

Re: playoff scenarios, what to wish for today
The scenarios are great, only in the NFL. However, if any skins fan thinks next week will be easy, you are crazy. Philly may be 6-9, but they have been in just about every game. They are a lot better than their record says.

I don't believe you'll have to worry about the Redskins taking Philly lightly. Gibbs will have them ready to play and he'll stress how important this game is to them.

I like the fact that everyone..Jansen, Cooley, Portis etc. have recognized the fact that we are not in the playoffs yet, and Gibbs will surely have them ready to play. If Ramsey starts, Gibbs will be sure to call 60% or more run plays so that Ramsey does not get an itchy trigger finger and throw picks. |

Even you guys were able to beat Philly. So we will def. beat them. We wont take any NFL Team lightly. We are from DC, we are better fans, and we arent as arrogant or selfish as people from NY.

Re: playoff scenarios, what to wish for today
I think we should not take Philly lightly. Play hard, and we keep the momentum going. Same formula as the past two weeks.

Re: playoff scenarios, what to wish for today
I think alot of people have been saying this, but the way things are shaping out, if we win next weekend we will probably play the Giants at NY(Come on guys the Rams, they can't win a game). Personally I am not a big fan of playing there, and I would rather play at TB or something.

Here is something someone posted on a Giants board about possible opponents, assuming the Giants beat Oakland. I question the tie breaker with Carolina. If Carolina and the Giants win, and Tampa loses Carolina gets the division. Both Carolina and Giants would be 11-5. Both 8-4 in the conference and 3-2 in common games. Next tie-breaker is strength of victory. Well, is that the point differential in all games? Conference games? Common games? Both teams are +99 in all games. TB Beats New Orleans Washington beats Philly Carolina beats ATL (GIANTS PLAY CAROLINA 4 V 5) Skins play at Tampa, 3 vs 6 I think this is the most likely scenario. I do not see Tampa losing to New Orleans, and I think Atlanta is going to play very uninspired football against the Panthers. OR TB loses to New Orleans Washington Beats Philly Carolina loses to ATL Dallas loses to St Louis (GIANTS PLAY CAROLINA IN A 3 V 6) Skins play at Tampa 4vs 5 Scenarios to play Washington TB Beats New Orleans Washington beats Philly Carolina loses to ATL (GIANTS PLAY WASHINGTON IN A 4 V 5) OR TB loses to New Orleans Carolina beats Atl Washington Beats Philly or dallas loses to the rams (GIANTS PLAY WASHINGTON IN A 3 V 6) Scenarios to play Dallas TB loses to New Orleans Washington loses to Philly Carolina beats ATL dallas beats rams (Giants play DAL in a 3 v 6) skins out OR TB beats New Orleans Washington loses to Philly Carolina loses to ATL dallas beats rams (Giants play Dallas in a 4 v 5) skins out If the Giants lose and the Skins win, I think the Giants are guaranteed the 6th seed, but I could be wrong on that. They would lose a tie-breaker with Tampa, assuming Tampa also loses, and I THINK they would lose a tie-breaker with Carolina. |

Re: playoff scenarios, what to wish for today
I was actually more worried about the philly game than the giants game. I never like going up there to play and was very upset that dallas pulled out that win making next week another must win (STL cant beat anyone). Gibbs will no way play down the importance of the last game and I know we will come out with as much intensity as we have had these past two games. We are so close!!!!!!!!!!!!
