Will the Redskins Make the Playoffs

[djnemo65]

Yes we will make the playoffs. Look who we are competing against for the final wildcard, assuming New York doesn't collapse again this year (which I don't know how you can assume given their recent history). Detroit, who we have a head to head advantage against, is the toughest foe. I like their team but I am very comfortable going against them down the stretch. Either New Orleans, Carolina, or Tampa Bay, whoever doesn't end up winning that division. Not scared of that challenge. Who else? San Francisco or Arizona? Puleeaze. Chicago? They are done.

If we can merely win a couple tough games I don't see how we can miss out. Yes last week was humbling but we are still good enough to beat anyone in the NFC, imo.

If we continue to sputter on offense and continue to think that Cover 2 is unbeatable we wont make the playoffs .... but

We need to win at least 2 or 3 divisional games .. I think we beat Philly @ home and get revenge against the G-Men ... RT should be back for that one and Im thinkin' we steal one from the Cowgirls @ home ... We have offically hit rock bottom after sunday's loss ... but it will only make this team stronger ... Campbell learn a good lesson Sunday ... Hopefully Wade can learn to block ... cuz hes the weak link on the line

12-4 to 10-6

We finish 2nd in the East ... im Hopin'

Hope I'm wrong but this is how I see it.

2 L's to the Cowboys.
1 L to TB
1 L to NYG
1 L to either Philly or Bears.

9-7 or 8-8

[Chief X_Phackter]

Probably not. Here's how I see the rest of the season.


@ Jets
L

vs. Eagles
W

@ Cowboys

@ Buccaneers
L

vs. Bills
W

vs. Bears
W

@ Giants
L

@ Vikings
W

vs. Cowboys

9-7 won't cut it. Here's your playoff teams:

Dallas
Green Bay
New Orleans
Seattle
New York
Tampa Bay

Dude. Put down the pipe! The Skins will beat the Jets and the Bucs. I don't know about splitting with the Cowboys, that might be two losses. But I think they will rebound and take out the Giants. I'm thinking 11-5 at worst 10-6 which will still be good enough for the second wildcard.

11-5, 10-6 at the worst???? More kool aid drinking/ homerism at it's best.

Sorry, but 10-6 doesn't get it done, especially if we lose two or more NFC opponents.

10-6 will definitely get it done in the NFC. Hell, 9-7 could get someone in.

So there are going to be 6 NFC teams who win their division and/or have records of 11-5 or better?

[70Chip]

I'm saying yes because I'm a fan.

However (here comes the ass-covering caveat), if Clinton Portis and the offensive line on't pull their collective heads out of their collective backsides and start running the damn ball with some ferocity, we will be lucky to win 3 more games. I say they will do it starting Sunday.

[724Skinsfan]

I say 'yes'. There are no other teams on our schedule that actually fill me with dread. Can we lose more games than we should? Yes. Do we have the personnel that will not let that happen? Yes. As bad as we have been playing, by that I mean given our potential, I think the best is yet to come.

[SmootSmack]

The key, in my opinion, more so than the Cowboys and Giants games are going to be the games against the other teams in the hunt with us for a wild-card spot. We've already beaten two of them with the Lions and Cardinals. And we have an opportunity to beat two more with the Bucs and Bears.

We need to win the games we're expected to win. Starting this Sunday against the Jets

[VTSkins897]

i voted weenie and just need to see more. i think this is a year where there are 2 good teams in the nfc and the rest are all about equal. have to see how the tiebreakers work out and how we fare in our divisional games.

[drew54]

Ok, I did vote no.

Upon second thought I think that I should have voted yes. In our next 9 games I think we will beat the Jets, Buccaneers, Bills, Bears, Vikings, and Cowboys.
That means we will split our games with the Eagles and Cowboys, and lose to Giants again.

That will put us at 10 - 6 and we should be able to make it into the playoffs with that record and the weak NFC.

Still I don't feel that this team can pull it off the way we have been playing the last couple of weeks. And this isn't just from the Patriots game that I feel this way. I think that this team does not have an identity on offense. Our defense is there, but they will get murdered if they have to be on the field for over half of the game like they have been lately.

I think all of the tools are there for this offense to succeed, but with the injuries at the line, and the inconsistencies in play calling and catching the ball we are going to be very lucky to win 6 of our next 9. But if any team can do that, it would be the same core group that won out two years ago and made the playoffs.

Let all of the flaming begin.

[GhettoDogAllStars]

I said No.

With the Giants at 6-2 and the Cowboys at 6-1, it's going to be very difficult. If we don't move ahead of one of them, I don't see us making the playoffs. I just think our division is too strong.

I do think we'll finish the season with a winning record, and probably make 10-6, but that might not be enough.

I hope I'm wrong.
