Even with a 10-6 record, we COULD miss the playoffs?
 

I was reading about this today and saw that a non-divisional 10-6 might not be enough for some people to make the playoffs.

That's INSANE after you could be at 8-8 last year and still make it.

I'm nervous, so I guess we'll have to remedy that by winning the divison.

Re: Even with a 10-6 record, we COULD miss the playoffs?
 

With three teams at 5-2 in the NFC South, and two teams with 5 wins in the East, it makes sense to me.

If the season ended today, (I know it's too early for this), the NFC East would only have ONE team in the playoffs.

Re: Even with a 10-6 record, we COULD miss the playoffs?
 

It's happened like that before. In our 89' season, we went 10-6 and missed the playoffs.

Re: Even with a 10-6 record, we COULD miss the playoffs?
 

This is going to sound ridiculous (considering this past weekend) but I am not convinced about the Giants. I have a feeling they are a house of cards right now. Unless they can use the same motivation the had last Sunday the rest of the year they simply don't seem to me to be a team that can go at it for the long haul. The Cowboys impress me more and I think we'll see them improve as the season goes on. The Eagles are just put together well and will compete just abot every week. I still think this division is up for grabs. 10-6 is not a gurantee when the NFC has gotten this much better. The NFC has a winning record vs the AFC for the first time ina while adn that is why someone at 10-6 will probably miss the playoffs.

Re: Even with a 10-6 record, we COULD miss the playoffs?
 

I just hope and prey it won't be us after we had a chance last year if we went 8-8.

Re: Even with a 10-6 record, we COULD miss the playoffs?
 

lets get to 10-6 and then worry about it :)

If we don't win this weekend we won't have to worry wbout much until next year. This is a [SIZE=7]HUGE[/SIZE] game for both teams. I'll worry about getting into the playoffs at 10 & 6 when it happens.

:httr:

One team falls to mediocrity, the other stays in the race.

Re: Even with a 10-6 record, we COULD miss the playoffs?
 

Remember--lots of these teams play each other, in division and so on. So I wouldn't be surprised to see things settle out.

We need to take care of our own business. THat's the bottom line.

Re: Even with a 10-6 record, we COULD miss the playoffs?
 

This won't be a problem when we finish 13-3

:lol: Man I hope so!

Re: Even with a 10-6 record, we COULD miss the playoffs?
 

I agree TAF, it's time to go on a tear and leave NO DOUBT that the Giants game was just a fluke. There were too many things at work that Sunday.

Unfortunatley, that is 100% correct.

Re: Even with a 10-6 record, we COULD miss the playoffs?
 

We'll be ok as long as we fight our guts out.....

Re: Even with a 10-6 record, we COULD miss the playoffs?
 

I don't like our guys playing their guts out TOO OFTEN.

Re: Even with a 10-6 record, we COULD miss the playoffs?
 

i would be willing to bet the house that 10-6 gets in.any takers?

Re: Even with a 10-6 record, we COULD miss the playoffs?
 

Yeah I would have to say its too early to say that 10-6 doesn't get in.

Re: Even with a 10-6 record, we COULD miss the playoffs?
 

Welcome to the board by the way...

Re: Even with a 10-6 record, we COULD miss the playoffs?
 

the gay thing is that the nfc north winner will make the playoffs probably at 8-8.

Re: Even with a 10-6 record, we COULD miss the playoffs?
 

10-6 is no guarantee, but I'll bet that one 10-6 team does get in.

Tampa Bay isn't going to maintain their pace, so two teams from the South go. That leaves two teams from the East. The East is shaping up like a classic race, where we pound each other, and there are three 10-6 teams at the end. One's a champ, one gets a wild card, and the fickle finger of fate leaves one in the cold.

Re: Even with a 10-6 record, we COULD miss the playoffs?
 

I think Tampa Bay is truly the pretender of this year.

I hope they can pretend for one more week. I just picked them as the upset in my football pool this week. :embarrass

Re: Even with a 10-6 record, we COULD miss the playoffs?
 

Yeah, I HOPE it's only one more week, because we know who is after Philly.

Re: Even with a 10-6 record, we COULD miss the playoffs?
 

as long as chris simms is their QB they wont make the playoffs

Re: Even with a 10-6 record, we COULD miss the playoffs?
 

Since I believe it is inter-divisional record that determines tie-breakers, we are gonna have to do alot better against our NFC East rivals than we have the last, I don't know, million years. I can't remember the last time we had even a respectable record within the division.

So that makes Sunday night's game even that much more important. Man, I'm nervous...

Re: Even with a 10-6 record, we COULD miss the playoffs?
 

I've heard that three teams from the NFC East could easily make it. The great thing about the Redskins is we have won both conference games against the Bears and Seahawks and certainly could win the next three against the Bucs, Rams and Cardinals. We will muster up all of our strength for Dallas, New York and Philly at the end of the season. 2 out of 3 are at home so we certainly have the edge should it come down to those games at the end of the regular season.

Re: Even with a 10-6 record, we COULD miss the playoffs?
 

correct
if we are serious about playoffs
we should start winning divisional and road games
no more no less

You will be 9-5 going into three tough divisional games. And you have two of those tough games at home. I think Wash gets in. YOu have a softer schedule in the second half.

Why so woried?!

Re: Even with a 10-6 record, we COULD miss the playoffs?
 

10-6 will get in, with the way things are shaping up. But I'm hoping for better and anticpating worse. But one thing is for sure REDSKINS WIN AT HOME THIS SUNDAY ON PRIME TIME!!!

Re: Even with a 10-6 record, we COULD miss the playoffs?
 

It's really premature to think we'll be 10-6. Maybe the Giants game was a fluke last week; I'd like to think that, but you can't be sure. I know one thing: we need to beat Philly this Sunday. Almost every game on a team's schedule is a must win (obviously), but there's something to be said for smacking the Iggles upside the head. Especially after the way they've handled us the past few years.
