Alexa Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Does anyone actually think that we could win a game against one of the playoff teams? I don't. it would be nice to get in but we're not going anywhere if we do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may also play Detroit in playoffs so from a momentum perspective... who knows what they'll do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redd Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Me having to root for Dallas again 2016 has been a crummy year for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not entirely true, but very likely. Skins could still win and miss playoffs but only if Green Bay and Detroit tie. That would be highly unlikely.

I don't. it would be nice to get in but we're not going anywhere if we do. Considering how horrible our defense is outside of a few players, making the playoffs is a huge achievement. I projected we could end up anywhere between 7-9 wins. Making the playoffs with 9 wins, again, is great. You have a shot. That's all teams, players and fans want........a chance, a shot. And I believe with our offense, we could beat Green Bay or Detroit in the wild card game. Why wouldn't we think we could advance? And Dallas? pffft..........while they have won a lot of games, they have gotten a lot of breaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. if the Redskins offense is focused and clicking, I think they can beat any team in the NFC outside of maybe Atlanta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Dallas beats Detroit, they fall to 9-6 and tied with Green Bay. So a tie would make both teams 9-6-1. Green Bay wins their division tiebreaker by virtue of their win over Detroit earlier in year. We lose wild card tiebreaker to Detroit because of our loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PartyPosse Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 9 minutes ago, Dont Taze Me Bro said: Wrong. If Dallas beats Detroit, then we are in if we win. You are correct. We beat GB but lost to Detroit which means if they tie and we all end up at 9-6-1. Detroit has tiebreaker over GB on account of higher head-to-head which means Detroit would win division and we would beat GB in tiebreaker. Edit: Oops, I thought Detroit beat GB and not the other way around. Yes we could lose out if they tie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shk75 Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Man that GB victory against Chicago last week really sucked. I remember someone said it did not matter but a loss for a team competing for a WC spot always matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pfffttttttt..........a tie. Ok, if they tie then we are out. The probability of them ending in a tie is null imo. Granted it could happen, but I'd put my house and paycheck on the line in a bet that it wont end in a tie. 2 minutes ago, Califan007 said: If the Lions, Packers and Redskins all end up 9-6-1, I believe the Skins are out and the Lions are the #6 wildcard.

hail2skins Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 LOL Seattle had a chance to take the lead but missed the XP after scoring a TD. AZ driving at their own 44 with 47 secs left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly what I was thinking when he asked if he thinks we can beat any playoff teams, i mean come on! We already beat Giants and GB may make it as well. It's the same as people saying "do we deserve to make the playoffs?" If your record puts you in the playoffs you deserve to get in, every other team is trying too...
