DC SKINS 27 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 If we win out, we get in, especially judging by how poorly most of the NFC has been playing. We also just beat a legitimate playoff contender in Carolina!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOVA2Tampa Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Mathematically, we are still alive...but we have to win ALL of our remaining games. Great win today, though...our D really stepped up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 No reason to start thinking in those terms yet. However ... Last year at this time we were 5-6, and in a much more competitive conference. We know we can do it. 4-7 is not THAT different. If we had this defense all year long we'd be 7-4. It's a shame it took so long to show up. Most likely too little too late. But hopefully the defense keeps playing like this the rest of the year. If it does it's possible to make a little run over these next five games. It wouldn't be all that out of the ordinary for a Gibbs team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, winning the 5 games is the first step to this equation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyfar Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 I'll say it.... Pierogies. Enjoy the win, but post season shouldn't be in the players vocabulary right now. Just win out and maybe we'll get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GamaGoliath Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 One game at a time. Exactly. I don't think that anyone should get too far ahead of themselves. I'd be happy just to see them string TWO wins together first before people start thinking about play offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdskn4Lyf21 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 OK to the believers in the house - the truth is we are 2 games out with 5 games to play. The other truth is that all the teams we play are ahead of us in the race, and winning out will give us a damned good shot to play in January: Divisional Winners: EAST - Dallas/NYG NORTH - Chicago SOUTH - New Orleans WEST - Seattle Wild-card: 1st - Dallas/NYG (the other takes the division) 2nd - Carolina There are a few other teams in the running, but if we take care of our business, our 3 biggest competitors for that 2nd spot are Carolina, Atlanta, and Minnesota. Carolina's remaining schedule: Philadelphia, NYG, Pittsburgh, Atlanta, and New Orleans. These are all losable games, 4 of them being VERY tough games (barring a Philly resurgence) Atlanta's remaining schedule: Washington, TB, Dallas, Carolina, Philadelphia. We can take care of them, and Dallas or Carolina, maybe both, will too. Minnesota's remaining schedule: Chicago, Detroit, NYJ, Green Bay, STL. Chicago is their toughest game. NYJ, STL, and Green Bay @ Lambeau are tough ones too. Remember, the conference records will be the big deals here. Right now, for the standings are: Us - 2-5 Carolina - 4-4 Atlanta - 3-4 Minnesota - 5-3 So here is what to hope for, and why we are playing in January: Minnesota to lose 2 games. This has a VERY HIGH probability, and they are the only ones who would hold tiebreakers over us. Carolina to lose 2. We would hold a tiebreaker over them, and NYG and NO will be their biggest tests. Pittsburgh and Atlanta will be tough too. Atlanta to lose 1 more. This happens next week, and we hold every tiebreaker versus them . We win out, we will be in. Why can't we? Our D, right? Well, they woke up today.... Why not?!?! The teams we play are Atlanta, Philadelphia, New Orleans, STL and NYG, 3 of those AT HOME. **EDIT** Forgot to put the records in case anyone want to know: Minny: 5-6 Us: 4-7 Carolina: 6-5 Atlanta: 5-6 WE CAN DO THIS GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

desertfox59 Posted November 26, 2006 Author Share Posted November 26, 2006 Is there any possible way we can still win the division? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 if all the other teams in the division collapse completely, theres a very very very very ... very ... very ... very very very small chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdskn4Lyf21 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Is there any possible way we can still win the division? We would need Dallas AND New York to lose 3 of their next 5. Not impossible, but a LOT to hope for: Dallas has left - NYG, New Orleans, Atlanta, Philadelphia, and Detroit. NYG - Dallas, New Orleans, Philadelphia, Carolina, and us. The best bet is for Dallas and NYG to win the rest of the year and us get the wild-card, because if they lose 2, but not 3, and lose to the teams in the wild-card race, they will hurt us. I typed a lot in these last few posts, I'm going for some apple pie... I'll be back. We can still do this though, we really can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a_good_brotha Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 I believe winning out is a possibility. If you look at the remaining schedule, the only teams I worry about are New Orleans and the Giants. The Rams aren't good, Philly is without McNabb, and Atlanta is struggling. If this team shows up to play I believe we will finish 9-7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IONTOP Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Technically, for the best possible shot, we need Dallas to win the division (I think I'm going to be sick) because they have a tiebreaker over us because of the margin of victory. We need NYG to collapse while still beating carolina, and we need to win out, and beat the Giants by what? like 15 points or whatever they beat us by in their house. That will leave us at 9-7, the giants at 7-9 (they can technically win 2 other games besides the carolina and Us, as long as we beat them by a bigger margin than they beat us). It could happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
