[quote=Darrell_Green_28;399209]I know i said it a week or so ago im sure others have said it but take a notice the NFC EAST is back.
3 teams from the NFC East are in the playoffs has this happened before?[/quote]


Last year, Dallas, Philly, and the NYG all made it. The NFC East usually sends at least 2 every year. In the past 10 years only 4 times has the NFC East failed to send 2 teams into the post season (1997, 1998, 2001, 2004). 3 out of those 4 times the NFC East was only 1 game away from sending 2 teams (usually this Skins were the #7 seed). Only in 2004 was the entire NFC East (except Philly) completely out of the Playoff hunt when WAS, NYG, and DAL all finished with a 6-10 record. In short, 60% of the time the NFC East sends 2, and 20% of the time they send 3, which is still more than any other division in the NFC. The NFC East never fell off of the map. We just dont have 2 teams that post 12+ win seasons, because everybody in our Division can play.

Usually our division splits wins with each other. That is 3 loses right off the bat. Everyone is going to pick up a few more L's down the line, unless you are NE or the 72 Dolphins.

The NFC East always has been, is, and probably always will be the toughest Division in the NFL.

I am sooooo proud of these guys! They have fought their guts out all year long and it has paid off with a playoff appearance. The other gratifying thing is all the press is now saying that the Skins are the hottest team in the NFC and to watch out for a deep run (get off our nuts bitches!).

No matter what happens, this team has great character and they play much better in the midst of adversity. HAIL!

[QUOTE=SFREDSKIN;399117]I am so proud of this TEAM, from Dan Snyder to the guy that cleans the toilets. CONGRATULATIONS!!! Now it's payback time for Seattle!![/QUOTE]

I will admit I was not a fan of snyder at all...until the ST tragedy. I felt like he handled that beautifully and made the right decisions throughout. Now I am behind Snyder 110%. The whole organization is closer than ever. We have the bonds of brothers on that field, in the stands, and on the streets of DC. Redskins football is back. To say i am proud is an understatement. Seattle our 12th man is better than yours.

I agree with the excecption of the PAT's the Redskins are the hottest team in the NFL right now. It is very possible for us to go all the way because of how we have been playing.

Hasselbeck's wrist doesn't look like it's a big deal...
Notebook | Hasselbeck's wrist OK
By Danny O'Neil
Seattle Times staff reporter
ATLANTA — The results weren't all positive for Seattle on Sunday.

As far as quarterback Matt Hasselbeck's wrist goes, that's a good thing. A very good thing.

Hasselbeck injured his right wrist early in the second quarter when he fell awkwardly. He returned to the game and while Hasselbeck did not play in the second half, coach Mike Holmgren said that was the plan for playing time and not because of an injury.

Still, Hasselbeck underwent X-rays after going to the locker room, and no fracture was detected.

"I was throwing the ball away and hit the ground," Hasselbeck said. "I don't know if I landed on it or somebody landed on it, but just kind of fell awkwardly."

Hasselbeck had some tape applied in the second quarter, and iced it afterward. He doesn't anticipate it will cause him to miss any practice time. In fact, he threw a 30-yard touchdown pass to Bobby Engram after the injury.

Re: 07 Playoff Bound!!!
 

I don't want to start a new thread on this one question, but does any of the brain-trust know of all of the games we played this year, how many of those games were we leading in going into half-time? I think the answer will shock alot of us and make us wonder what our record could be. We would probably me looking at homefield advantage throughout, and the #1 seed.

Re: 07 Playoff Bound!!!
 

See, THIS is why you don't give up on your team!

About a month ago, a lot of people here were so down on the team, Coach Gibbs and could not say a positive thing about the team. I got talked down to because I maintained a faith in the team and never picked against them in the weekly predictions.

This is when it pays off to be a loyal fan. It feels incredible when you stand behind your team in tough times and they succeed.

Still time for Coach Gibbs to be fired now?

:)


GO SKINS!

We'll beat Seattle, we can beat Dallas (should've beaten them twice) and we hung with Green Bay earlier this year.

Also, if the current hot team played the current stumbling Patriots again, the results would be completely different.

Good post. I remember when pretty much everyone was bashing Gibbs about the double TO in the Buffalo game, I stood by and mentioned that the man's head was elsewhere and to give a second chance. look at us now, never give up on a Joe Gibbs coached team.

[QUOTE=DFI;399315]if we continue to play like we have for the last few weeks I think we can ball with anyone...should be a fun ride[/QUOTE]

those are my words exactly..we can play with anybody right now ,keep it going skins take your act to seattle and have some fun...

Re: 07 Playoff Bound!!!
 

We've got all the momentum on our side. We're so good on paper, but now things have finally come together and we're playing well as a team. The Skins have overcome so much adversity this year, A nice playoff run would cap it off quite well.

Hail to the Redskins!
