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.

Not if we lose to the Bucs, Dallas, and the Giants again. Too many NFC losses against contenders.

I've got to admit, I just looked at TB's schedule and it has got to be the weakest in the NFC. If we don't beat TB, we may have trouble getting in.

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

All I'm saying is that if the Skins record is 10-6 or 9-7, there will be other 10-6 or 9-7 teams that will hold the head to head tiebreaker (Giants, Dallas, Tampa Bay, Green Bay), therefore they would get the wildcard. Is it really so unbelievable that the Skins will lose three or four more games?

Nope, it is definitely possible that we will lose 3-4 more games. But, the only teams that I think are going to give us a run for our money are Detroit, Dallas or New York, and Tampa. Detroit has got a brutal schedule and I don't see them winning 10 games. New York or Dallas will likely get the 5th seed. So, the only team that I see that could keep us out is Tampa. I think we've got a decent shot to have a better record than them and, consequently, get the 6th seed.

Yep we have a decent shot if we beat Tampa Bay the Giants and the Cowgirls, but if the offense doesn't get significantly better, none of that will happen. Also, losing Carlos Rogers will have a significant impact on our defense...believe that.

Tampa is probably going to win their division at 9-7 or 8-8 or something.

Unless the Panthers make a run at it, ten wins seems to be the mark in the NFC.

The AFC is so top heavy though that a 9 win team will likely make it as a WC. 9 wins would win the NFC South, but its going to take 10 to win the NFC WC.

11 wins should take the NFC East though.
