bluekswing Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Could someone list who we need to root for this weekend? What outcomes do we want to see happen? Especially the Tampa-Carolina game - which way do we want this one to fall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially the Tampa-Carolina game - which way do we want this one to fall? We want Washington to beat Baltimore. New Orleans to beat Hotlanta. Pittsburgh to beat Dallas. Tampa Bay to beat Carolina. That about covers it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That about covers it. And probably Philly to beat the Giants...we want the division / homefield advantage to be in doubt...we want the Giants to run the table.

A Dallas loss would clinch the division for the Giants and just about clinch a first round bye anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GC8 Bunta Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 A Dallas loss would clinch the division for the Giants and just about clinch a first round bye anyway. not necessarily, you want the Giants to have something to play for. such as home field advantage. as long as Tampa keeps winning and Giants lose once or twice.

santana_4_prez Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 A Dallas loss would clinch the division for the Giants and just about clinch a first round bye anyway. You are correct. I'm just saying if New York loses to Philly, they'll want a win the following week that much more (against Dallas)...especially in terms of home field advantage.

kleese Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 You'd think that website had live streaming of Beyonce doing a striptease or something...I just spent another 20 minutes staring into it and randomly clicking outcomes. I think this website may finally be the thing that puts me in a straight-jacket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can clinch a bye this week, but they still have the #1 seed to play for. You are correct. I'm just saying if New York loses to Philly, they'll want a win the following week that much more (against Dallas)...especially in terms of home field advantage. Oh okay, that makes sense. Completely agreed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fight for ole DC Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I like any scenario that has us in the playoffs but I really like the ones that have us playing at Arizona since my wife bought her company's cardinal playoff tickets. We plan to sell the tickets (make come cash off a pukes fan :dallasuck) unless the Redskins are playing here. Go Skins!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdboost Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Considering I expected the worse this season, I would be happy with 10 wins. We still have a couple weeks left though and anything can happen in NFL. Playoffs!!!I don't see Minny winning that division with Pat and Kevin gone.

[[ghost]] Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 This week's game is huge. We NEED to win. We need ATL and Dallas to lose at least once. I have no doubt that the Pokes will lose once if not twice in the next two weeks against Pitt and NY. ATL is definitely less likely to lose, but they do get NO and Tampa Bay in the next two weeks so, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kleese Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 ];5899268']This week's game is huge. We NEED to win. From a momentum and confidence standpoint, yes. But when it comes to the playoff math-- it really doesn't make THAT big of a difference. We NEED to beat Philly and SF-- we can "afford" a loss to Baltimore or Cincy.

We NEED to beat Philly and SF-- we can "afford" a loss to Baltimore or Cincy. You are counting on New Orleans and Minnesota too much if you think that. If we do not win out, I think it will be 3 NFC South teams in the playoffs. There is a chance that we could win out and still be on the outside looking in if it is Tampa Bay and not Carolina we are up against in a 3 way tie.

dlwredskins Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 3rd Place in what? Our division? The Cowpies may end the season at 9-7. We can go 11-5 or 10-6.... I made a mistake...I meant even if we go 11-5 we can get no better than the 5 or 6th seed....meaning no home playoff game.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGrubs Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 According to my predictions, the Skins' would get in as the 6th seed and play Arizona in the first round. I got the same exact results with my predictions. Let's Go skins!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGrubs Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Here is an interesting scenario: http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/playoffscenario?algorithm=yahooranker I changed all four weeks so Washington wins, and Dallas looses, but we still don't make the playoffs, "unless" I make one other change, if I change Tampa to beat Carolina, then we get in. Someone could spend alot of time on that site!! Go Skins!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman69 Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 A federal judge reversed the suspensions No he didn't reverse the suspensions. They couldn't come to a solid agreement in a reasonable time, so their decision is delayed and the players are allowed to play this weekend. Next week, we don't know yet.

Someone could spend alot of time on that site!! Go Skins!!!!!!! I played a ton with it. I came to the same conclusion, we really need Tampa to keep winning. They need to beat both Atl and Car for us. I am afraid the Giants will have every thing rapped up by the time they play Carolina and start sitting key players. I definitely believe we HAVE to win out to have a realistic shot at getting in, I am afraid 10-6 won't do it. I may change my mind if NO pulls of a win against ATL though, I just don't think they will. They are in free fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voice_of_Reason Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 This is what I've been able to figure out, if the 'Skins and Dallas finish 10-6, with the 'Skins loss to the Ravens, and Dallas losses to Pittsburgh and the Giants (both are possible. The Giants are NOT going to shut it down against Dallas in week 15 with the ability to clinch Home Field Advantage), then Washington wins the tie breakers. Carolina and the Bucs can both make it, somebody from the NFC North will make it. The most concerning team is Atlanta. They have a legit shot to get to 11-5, which would bump all 10-6 teams from the playoffs. They need to lose twice. Of course, I'll say this: In order to even be talking about any of this, the 'Skins need to play like a playoff team. If they put up efforts like they have the last 5 weeks, they could end up at 8-8, and then everything is moot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to lose twice. Atlanta is the key. The Saints are tough in the Superdome Kiffin's Cover 2 is a rookie QBs nightmare The Vikes might have both Williams's's's Then the Rams.... I could see the Falcon go 1-3 remember i'm a homer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the Falcons are hell on wheels at home, which is where they play the Bucs. The Vikings ... Have Gus Fre-Rot at QB. No more needs to be said. The Rams, The Rams, The Rams. They need to lose twice. At 10-6, the 'Skins win the tie-breaker with them if the one loss is to the Ravens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
