Well we have to win the rest of our division games.

That Victor Cruz catch!!!
That Josh Morgan Helmet meltdown.
That 15 penalty from Kyle.
Man, just one less mental mistake and we are 5-5.

Re: NFC East Chances
 

One final thought: There are 6 games left. If we win Thanksgiving Day, we have the head to head sweep on the so called contenders category for the final spot. Chicago is in danger of total meltdown (According to the wild card tie breaker procedures on NFL.com).

Bucs
Vikes
Saints
Cowboys

Those two are the worst. The Panthers game as much as it sucked, we deserved to lose that game. That 15 yarder on Kyle really was after Rg3 took an awful sack and pretty much sealed it. The only thing the 15 yarder hurt was our hail mary attempt (which didn't even reach the endzone).

The other two, are games we probably should have won (up 21-6 in St. Louis, a bomb away from the win in NY), so to me, those upset me way worse.

I like that we pretty much control our fate. Beat Dallas first and let's revisit this.

Very simply put and true!

Not as much as the Giants game. We had that one won.

We probably would have won the Rams game without the replacement refs who wanted to see a WWE match with helmets. St. Louis played so dirty that game, nothing was called.

We could, probably SHOULD be 6-4 right now, just ahead of the 5-5 Giants who we should have beaten.

With all of this said, we're probably the best 4-6 team in football and really still do have a shot at the division or a wild card. If we keep playing the way we are against division opponents, we could sweep the division from here out. We can beat Dallas twice. We know we can beat Philly again. We know we can hang with the Giants...we beat them twice last year and were seconds away from making it three straight wins against them. That puts us at 8 wins and we should beat Cleveland. Baltimore isn't even what they used to be...they have far worse injury problems on D than we do.

8-8 or 9-7 are obtainable.

8-8 might even win this division this season. Have you seen the Giants' remaining games?

Green Bay
at Washington
New Orleans
at Atlanta
at Baltimore
Philadelphia

Re: NFC East Chances
 

The way this team makes the playoffs is to win out. Can they, well that is the question and its starts Thursday.

BTW we have NEVER beat Dallas on Thanksgiving.

Won't be able to say that again Thursday night.

As for the playoffs after we win Thursday and after the Giants get their ass kicked by GB then I'll say we have a good chance to sneek in.

Re: NFC East Chances
 

The Redskins can beat every team remaining on the schedule, including the Baltimore Ravens. If we finish 8-8 I'd still be pleased given where we were at(3-6). But I think the NY Midgets will lose four of their next five and finish 8-8 themselves because they have the most difficult games remaining of any team in the division. If the Redskins can somehow end up 9-7 and win the NFC east division that would be excellent. That would mean a playoff birth.

A lot of optimism around here. Let's get to 500. and see. I can't even think about playoffs right now.
