Barring injury, Skins are a lock for playoffs, chance for bye

[huntz]

The first half. Win the home games (4-0), lose to two Good AFC's, lose in a rout (it happens to just about everyone) but keep winning the NFC games. ALready own a tiebreaker against the Bears and Seahawks, look at their records right now. We're sitting OK. Split against the remainng two AFC's, take two or three in the division, and win the other three outright. It could happen. 11-5.

I like to think in terms of what's happening presently, just for the simple fact that when we start thinking too far ahead, we get bitterly disappointed when the Skins lose a game we feel they are capable of winning. With that said, I would love for Washington to pick up the win against Tampa Bay next week. Having a 6-3 record gives us that room of error, not to mention another NFC team that is a threat for post season play.

tiebreakers wont matter when it comes to the wildcard, both are in very good position to win their divisions right now. seahawks are almost a lock, and 2nd in the nfc north is 3-5...

Home field in the NFC will probably come down to the Hawks and Giants. We're fighting for what's left. The Seahwaks have an easy division. They still have to play the Niners twice and their tough games are at home. The Seahawks/Giants game Nov 27 may determine home field.

Long ways to go though.

Every game from here on out is important and HUGE!
Let's focus on winning Tampa game instead of thinking playoffs.
We should finish atleast 10-6, but anything could happen. 1 game at a time.

I hate taking a team out but really 4 losses is huge for the eagles. 10-6 is just breaking the playoffs this year as a wildcard, if they lose once to the giants and once to the redskins or cowboys they are in serious trouble. Not that this is a three way race but i just think it will be tough for the eagles because the teams in this division have the power to shut them out of the playoffs

If Dallas can win on Monday - tough one - Philly is D.O.N.E. I don't know if Philly loses three in a row, and i don't know if Dallas can beat a Tough Division foe on the road.

[bertoskins]

we need to hurdle those winnable and home games
winnable games (either at home or road games) will be against
tampa bay, giants, cowboys, arizona, oakland

and steal 2 more games for the impossible teams

sd, rams, eagles at their home,

[TheMalcolmConnection]

I truly believe you can take it to the Rams. Our defense is improving every week and they basically just want a shoot-out. I think we can take the games you mentioned, but maybe lose to San Diego and the Eagles. I still feel that the way our home field advantage has been going, we could even take San Diego.

The skins are nota lock for anything. Anyone on the schedule can beat them...Arizona is the only bad team that they play but it is on the road.

Redrock-skins, don't give the division to the Giants just yet. They are only up one game with 8 to play. The NFC East is about the only division right now where the standings are changing every week. Most websites and newspapers have us listed 3rd for alphabetic reasons or whatever, but actually if the season ended today, the Skins are 2nd, with a win over the Boys. There is a lot of football to play before this is all done. The Skins need to hang in there, because their last 3 games are all divisional. Wow, how tough is that!
