Hannibal_DK Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 The team's destiny is mostly in its own hands. There are four teams ahead of Washington for a wildcard slot. That's if three of those teams win out. If the 'Skins win out, we have a decent shot of getting in at 10 and 6. Bring out your talismans and root for New Orleans tomorrow night. Atlanta is one of those four who must lose at least one of their remaining games. :wewantd: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crimestopperlady Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 You know, the Redskins can STILL miss the playoffs. In fact its more likely they will miss the playoffs than make the playoffs. Maybe somebody should finally start a thread entitled "REDSKINS CAN STILL MISS THE PLAYOFFS." Nobody has done that yet.

jservs7 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 I hope the skins' just go out there and win...how's that. Not to mention, improve as a team every game. I haven't felt like we have had a "team" in Washington in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark The Homer Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 You know, the Redskins can STILL miss the playoffs. In fact its more likely they will miss the playoffs than make the playoffs. I don't agree. I think it's more likely the Redskins will make the playoffs. Assuming there are no upsets in the upcoming games, Redskins will finish 9-7 (losing @ Eagles), Vikes will finish 9-7 (losing to the Steelers at home and Bears at home), Falcons will finish 9-7 (losing @ Bears and losing @ Bucs), Bucs will finish 11-5 and win their division (losing @ Patriots), Panthers will finish 11-5 and get the 5th seed (losing @ Falcons), Giants will finish 11-5 and win the NFC East (losing @ Redskins), Cowboys will finish 9-7 (losing @ Redskins and losing @ Panthers). Redskins win the tie breaker over everybody for the 6th seed. Of course, there will be upsets, but upsets could go either way, favoring or not favoring a playoff contender. Also, I think it's not out of the question for the Redskins to win @ Philly and finish 10-6, or even dropping either Giants or Cowboys, but winning @ Philly and finishing 9-7. Therefore, I think the Redskins have a better than even chance at getting the 6th seed. And a smaller but reasonable chance of winning the NFC East.

Maybe somebody should finally start a thread entitled "REDSKINS CAN STILL MISS THE PLAYOFFS." Nobody has done that yet. Actually, people have done that very thing and most of the threads of this sort AND that sort have been put into the playoff comment thread we've merged together. But, why would a Redskin fan want to describe how the team can miss the playoffs? Wouldn't a fan want to embrace the possibilities of making them? What team do you follow?

Da_Truth Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Playoffs? Playoffs are over. We have no chance making the playoffs with Gibbs. Plain and simple. The only thing that Gibbs has done RIGHT was get Gregg Williams. Thanks to Gregg we will always compete with teams. And another cudos to Gregg for convincing Gibbs to get Sean Taylor. Way to go Gregg!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way to go Gregg!! Son, I know you weren't alive during Gibbs' first reign. So I can understand your pessimism. But if you do a little research, you'll see that Gibbs is a winner -- he wins at everything. EVERYTHING. Because of that fact, the Redskins do, in fact, have a very good chance of making the playoffs. Stay tuned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JChance Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Don't you guys just love a pessimist? Come on guys, at least the skins have given us something to cheer for in the home strech. I want playoffs as bad as anyone, but we have more to cheer about this year than the past few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 The team's destiny is mostly in its own hands. Why do people keep writing this? I thought the skins needed to win out AND for one of the other teams to lose. That means that we do NOT control our own destiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Man Burgendy & Gold Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Not a fact, but the schedule works in our favor for the games other teams have to win for us not to take the tie-breaker for final wildcard with two weeks left. Look at the games: Cheifs at Giants- Giants have been good at home, but against a high powered offense this is a game Giants could easily lose. Pittsburgh at Minnesota- So what if its at home, Pittsburgh needs to win this game too to stay in playoff hunt, and they are the better team. Atlanta at Chicago-Atlanta will have way to much trouble playing the snow against a mighty bears defense. Okay anything can happen obviously, but I am going to go out on a limb and say that if we win against Dallas our destiny will finally be in our own hands at the end of the week, in fact I will guarantee it. One of those three teams will lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We win the rest of our games, and the Giants loose one, it is ours for the taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pittsburgh at Minnesota- So what if its at home, Pittsburgh needs to win this game too to stay in playoff hunt, and they are the better team. Atlanta at Chicago-Atlanta will have way to much trouble playing the snow against a mighty bears defense. The Chiefs have reverted to the defense of years past, and against a balanced offense like the Giants, this could be problematic. I'm not liking the Chiefs' chances, but I'll certainly be rooting for them. I remember during the Pitt/Indy game on MNF that Pittsburgh has only played in like two dome games in the last decade, or something ridiculous to that effect, so who knows how they'll do against the Vikes. And the Bears didn't look so hot in the snow themselves against the Steelers on Sunday. If we don't run the table, we don't get in. Period. Anyone saying a 9-win team can make the playoffs in either conference this year is crazy. That said, if we don't win the division, we better hope we're tied with the Bears.

One of those three teams will lose. I agree on the Steelers Vikes game, and I agree on the Falcons Bears game. But this next game is very important for the Giants and they know it. It's their last home game, and they're 6-1 at home, and winning it virtually clinches the NFC East, save one win over Norv's team. I think we need some help from above for the Giants to lose at home against the Chiefs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
