Of course the season as a whole is a fail, but there would still be some satisfaction to be gained from ending the season on a somewhat positive note by ruining the Giants season and finishing with a 3 game improvement over last year.

Of course I would prefer to win as opposed to getting hammered 42-10. That preference exists EVERY weekend - - not just this weekend.

My preference for a win over "getting hammered 42-10" is not enhanced even a little bit by the knowledge that a win will knock the Giants out of the playoffs. The fact is that 12 teams will be in the playoffs and the Redskins will not be one of them. So, to me, the identity of those 12 teams is not something that warrents a ton of emotional investment.
