michael_33 Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I have been wondering what the highest seed we could get in the playoffs,regardless how impossible the scenario may be.... I have figured that there is the SLIGHTEST REMOTE possibility for the Redskins to aquire the #2 seed in the playoffs, which also includes a 1st round bye and a home game... To start off simple....This is what we need to happen to win the Division outright with a 9-7 record... Week 13 --------- Dallas @ Giants=Giants win Carolina @ Philly=Philly win (carolina 6-6) Falcons @ Skins=Skins win (Falcons 5-7) Standings ----------- Giants 7-5 (4-0) Dallas 7-5 (1-4) Philly 6-6 (2-1) Skins 5-7 (1-3) Week 14 ------------- Philly @ Skins=Skins win Giants @ Carolina=Carolina win (carolina 7-6) Saints @ Dallas=Saints win (saints 8-4) Standings ---------- Giants 7-6 (4-0) Dallas 7-6 (1-4) Philly 6-7 (2-2) Skins 6-7 (2-3) Week 15 ---------- Dallas @ Falcons=Falcons win (Falcons either 7-7 or 6-8..TB week 14) Philly @ Giants=Philly win Skins @ Saints=Skins win (saints 8-5) Standings ---------- Giants 7-7 (4-1) Philly 7-7 (3-2) Skins 7-7 (2-3) Dallas 7-7 (1-4) Week 16 ---------- Philly @ Dallas=Dallas win Saints @ Giants=Giants win (Saints 8-6) Skins @ Rams=Skins win (Rams win Arizona WK13 6-6,Rams win Bears WK14 7-6,Rams win Raiders WK15 8-6,Rams lose Redskins WK16,Rams win Vikings WK17 Overall record for Rams is 9-7.. ) Standings ---------- Giants 8-7 (4-1) Skins 8-7 (2-3) Dallas 8-7 (2-4) Philly 7-8 (3-3) Week 17 ---------- Giants @ Skins=Skins win (week 17...the skins would control destiny) falcons @ Philly=doesn't matter Lions @ Dallas=doesn't matter Standings could look like this ----------------------------- Skins 9-7 (3-3) Dallas 9-7 (2-4)(lets say they beat detroit in WK 17) Giants 8-8 (4-1) Philly 8-8 (3-3) (lets say they beat Falcons in WK 17) REDSKINS WIN DIVISION! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Now in week 16 I had the saints at 8-6... And in week 14 I had the Carolina at 7-6.... Carolina remaining schedule from here ------------------------------------- Week 15 Steelers=Carolina wins Week 16 @ Falcons=Falcons win Week 17 @ Saints=carolina wins Saints remaining schedule from here ----------------------------------- Week 14 Niners @ Saints=Saints win(saints 9-6) Week 17 Carolina @ Saints=Saints lose(saints overall is 9-7) At this point,both the Saints and Panthers would have identical records at 9-7....But since the Panthers SWEPT the Saints this year,the Panthers would WIN the Division...!(The Saints would own the tiebreaker against dallas with their WIN as both are 9-7 for the wildcard) NFC North ------------- Bears are it!Probably 14-2 or maybe 13-3 or 12-4 at worst! This is also the only scenario where the Vikings could be 9-7 and it would NOT hurt us at all, since they would be a wilcard and we would be Division Winners... NFC WEST ----------- We have the Rams at 9-7 with their whole season and a loss against us just like Carolina... This means that since the Seahawks have already SWEPT the Rams this year,we can only allow the Seahawks to have an 8-8 record...They are currently 7-4 at the moment....after beating GB... Here is their remaining schedule -------------------------------- Week 13=Seattle @ Denver Week 14=Seattle @ Arizona Week 15=Niners @ Seattle Week 16=Chargers @ Seattle Week 17=Seattle @ Bucs (we can only afford them 1 more victory and the rest are losses!!) Here are your final and likely Playoff picture and seeding with what we have.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- #1 Seed=Chicago Bears 14-2?(draw 1st round Bye and HFA throughout) #2 Seed=Washington Redskins 9-7 (Draw 1st round Bye and a Home game) #3 Seed=Carolina Panthers 9-7 (I think they beat the Rams in week 11???) #4 Seed=St.Louis Rams 9-7 (otherwise the Panthers and rams would switch) #5 Seed=New Orleans Saints 9-7 #6 Seed=Either the Vikings,Cowboys or Atlanta @ 9-7(we will say Cowboys for fun!) How do ya like dem Apples? :notworthy I think I would have a stroke if this actually played out!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsFTW Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Well if Chicago gives us a couple of their wins we could actually have the #1 seed if we win our last 5 games. Since we talking about **** thats never going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trasoul82 Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Posts like these make me feel that DC area hospitals should do some research to confirm whether or not "Redskin's Fever" is an actual disease (mental disorder). I applaud the effort though. :applause: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H-O-G Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 If we got the division to this: Standings---------- Giants 7-7 (4-1) Philly 7-7 (3-2) Skins 7-7 (2-3) Dallas 7-7 (1-4) That would make the season for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stwasm Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 While I appreciate the enthusiasm of my fellow Redskins fans, I think all this talk about the p-word (I refuse to write the word) is setting ourselves up for failure. We've won only one game. Yes, the NFC is weak and, yes, mathematically, we're still in it. But, we only put one game together and slugged out a nice win. We did the same thing against Dallas, then laid an egg the following week. The only thing we need to concentrate on is getting more experience for JC and seeing what the young pups can do. I'm a Redskins fan and no one wants to seem them win more than I do. But, I'm also a realist. I'm not saying it may not happen, I'm just saying that we just need to temper expectations.

C.Taylor Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Very nice! :notworthy This is what I've been thinking. The best chance the Skins have to make the playoffs is to win the division by winning out. They will not make the playoffs at 8-8 with tie breakers.
