moondog Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Like many have said, right now the only thing on my mind is each game one at a time to make the playoffs. If we got there then yes, of course. Knocking them out of the playoffs would pretty much be our super bowl unless, of course, we actually made the super bowl. Which would probably mean we would beat dallas and new York or Seattle, all three teams I absolutely despise. So yes, it would be satisfying.

There really aren't any remaining games I am scared of. They won't all be gimmies but I don't think they will be "extremely tough to win." Maybe I'm just too much of a homer.

NoCalMike Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 They played Dallas close enough in both games, where I think I'd have a better feeling about the 'Skins going to Dallas than Seattle in the 2nd round. Seahawks are experienced, stout, and play in a tough place to come out with a victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we could start quickly and get something to break our way, I think they are beatable. I'm also fine to never see the Seahawks in the playoffs ever again. 1 hour ago, NoCalMike said: Well Stephen A.

illone Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 I have to say this is a very interesting thread... Is there such a thing as a Redskins fan who would be happy losing to Dallas in the playoffs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Tater Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Right now. It is how good would it feel to knock Detroit out of the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander -JB- Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 8 hours ago, BatteredFanSyndrome said: Call it what you will. Obviously, if they beat them to advance and won a Super Bowl - there is no greater feeling. However, losing to them and watching them win a Super Bowl and hearing about how great they are infinitely would be absolutely awful. Just them winning another SB is awful enough, I'd prefer not be a stepping stone to it. Battered fanboy, I do believe that the Cowboys have won 3 Super Bowls & have appeared in 4 since the Redskins last won a Super Bowl. We should be used to seeing Dallas win championships. Just like this season getting swept by Dallas doesn't sting. Didn't we lose a million in a row at one point to them? Let's just realize right now that the high of winning would be much more extreme. Too numb to the losing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Historically, at least since my fandom began, unless we are a SB team, sweeping the Giants is not a good thing for a Redskins head coach. Every one that has swept the Giants in a non-SB year has not ended his career in DC on his own terms. OK, Allen did have some good years here and Pardee did not do it until he was on the way out.

Just DON'T play em straight up. Gotta do something to pressure Dak and control is R/O runs...Maybe Cravens as a spy/blitzer ALLOT- hitting different gaps all over This is awesome! Just import and replace your entire defense with Minnesota's and this is realistic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vikings did what in theory every defense *should* do, however most defenses don't have the personal to bring a good pass rush AND stop the short stuff. Minnesota had Dallas in more 2nd/3rd & Longs then I can remember them being in the entire season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be OK. I think so, too. I think if we won our next three games, and Tampa Bay loses this week, we would be in. By that time, every other wild card contender ( looking at their schedules ) would have at least seven losses ( except for the Giants sitting in the 5 slot ) . We would be at 9 - 4 -1, with two games to go. We'd be in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinsMayne Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Honestly, if we loose to dallas that means we'd have won a playoff game (if im doing my math correctly) so i'd be satisfied. Like bittersweet chocolate satisfied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nfcbeasts4721 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 I said it a month or so ago and I'll say it again with other than losing to them on Thanksgiving there will be an NFC Championship rematch and we will move on to the Superbowl.
