bulldog Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 St. Louis and Minnesota made the playoffs at 8-8 in the ultimate show of parity. 8-8 or 9-7 is not likely to get it done in 2005. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooked Crack Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Yeah that's nice and all but it was last year. I mean we even had a glimmer of the playoffs last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsTillIDie Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 It all comes down to week 15 and 16. If we win both those games, we're in the playoffs. It's that simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RF4L Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 It all comes down to week 15 and 16. If we win both those games, we're in the playoffs. It's that simple. If we win a couple three contests in front of that. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsNeverDie Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 We've got to win a few on the road...we wont make it at 9-7. Also sweeping Dallas will be VERY important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Bullocks Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 If you've been following the NFL this year, you'd know that the NFC is the better conference than the AFC. The power has shifted, however the 2 best teams still remain in the AFC. 9-7 this year wont guarantee you a playoff spot, while last year it was winning divisions...well the NFC North doesn't count. The NFC East could finnish with 2 or even 3 10-6 teams. All of em arent getting in. Sadly, I think in the overall picture of the NFC, 3 of the 4 (NY, Dallas, and you guys) NFC East teams are probably all in the top 6 of the conference. Seattle Carolina and Atlanta are the only teams I would throw in there. Ideally those 6 would be in the playoffs, but one of the North teams will make it, pushing one of Carolina(not likelly)/Atlanta, or Dal/NY/Wash/Philly(doubt they're even in the mix) out of the playoffs. All more deserving than Chicago, Detroit, Minnesota or GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Tater Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 It's not that anyone should think we're done as far as the playoff situation, it's that we will need to go 7-0 to win the division unless both the Giants and the Cowboys lose multiple games. The Giants have to lose an additional game anyway, I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt'n Obvious Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Winning the next two games would help our chances dramatically. :helmet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCsportsfan53 Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 It all comes down to week 15 and 16. If we win both those games, we're in the playoffs. It's that simple. No doubt about it. With our NFC record, 10-6 and we're there. But 2 of those 10 HAVE to be in weeks 15 & 16. If we defend our house agianst the division, having already stole one on the road, we'll probably win the division. We had better make f*ing sure that Fed Ex is rocking.

DCNightHawk Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I think we are fine right now. Our destiny is still in our own hands and all we need to do is close out 5-2 to make the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinsOP Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I find it quite odd that Green Bay actually won it's division. Amazing the difference a year can make, eh? Their first and second lines are all mangled, and now their starting running back is fourth string. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Bullocks Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I think one of the teams in the NFC East will find a way to blow it. Winning the game in Philly was huge for Dallas last night. On a side note, let me see if I can get some Skins fans to agree with a Cowboys fan. What the **** is up with that extra home game the G-Men got. It bothered me less at first, but the closer this division race is getting, I don't see how the league can justify that. Should have been played in Baton Rouge, or a neutral site.

I think we're going to hear more noise about this in the coming weeks. Not many people really cared THAT much about it at week 2, because most people thought the Giants were going to suck for another year. Wait, they do suck. :gaintsuck :gaintsuck :gaintsuck Sorry, I forgot. Never mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 There was a real possibility that 8-8 would get you the wild card last year. The wild card team is going to have eight wins by week 13 this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zguy28 Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I think its a safe bet that Philly is bringing up the rear now, so their out. I'm afraid it's going to be run to finish line with Dallas and NY though. I love the NFC East competition! That's why it's the best in the NFL. _____________________ Bring on the Raiders! :whippin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsFTW Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Well, if Dallas, NY, and Philly each lose all of their remaining games except the ones they play against each other, and split those, the Redskins can win the division by going 3-4 in the final 7 games of the season.

Quit panicking people! Goose fraba... I'm totally confident that we can make the playoffs. But lets not forget, you're talking about the NFC East, not another division. I'm curious as to what the record were of the other teams in their divisions that helped them make the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
