Redskins are in a great position for a play off run

[RansomthePasserby]

we have a QB, we will be in any game and no one will want to play RG3 and the Redskins in the playoffs

I hate to keep saying it but just having a shot right now feels amazing. If we somehow get in, look out. Nobody will want to play RGIII in a one and done situation

Yup. The guy's money under pressure and on the national stage.

[Redskins4ever]

I'm not too concerned. The Redskins can win all of their remaining games. We can't worry about other teams. We need to focus on ourselves. If we do that, we'll be fine.

[RichmondRedskin88]

Win the rest of the division games and we're golden...8-8 will win the East. However, the Skins will beat Cleveland and possibly Baltimore too. Here's how i see it playing out:
Giants W
Browns W
Ravens W
Eagles W
Cowboys L

9-7 final record....win the east on a tiebreaker over the Gnats....host Seattle in playoffs.

If we get a L I think it will be Baltimore. I can't see us losing to the Cowboys in Fedex in a must win situation especially when we were able to win at Cowboy stadium with history and hype against us.

All the teams we needed to lose morning games did (I'm giving 5 spot to NFC north pack or bears). Bum Bum Buuuuum Bum Bum Go Pack Go!

We also have to beat the Eagles who might try to play spoiler and beat the Ravens and Browns, I don't see us beating Baltimore on the road. We are capable of winning out but I wouldn't get our hopes up, it's still a long shot.

Good thing we play Baltimore at home

Good thing we play Baltimore at home

How sweet would it be to finish 10-6?

[SAli457180]

I don't think we will win the NFC East when it's all over, but we do have a shot at it. It would be great if we could but I just don't see it.

The tough games we have ahead are Giants and Cowboys, we need to win those to have any semblance of a shot at the playoffs. We also have to beat the Eagles who might try to play spoiler and beat the Ravens and Browns, I don't see us beating Baltimore on the road. We are capable of winning out but I wouldn't get our hopes up, it's still a long shot.

The Ravens game is actually @ home right after the Giants game. It will still be tough, but not impossible. The Vagiants game and home vs Dal@ss will definitely be tough, but still winnable if they're consistent as they have been lately.

Oh, my bad my dudes. I don't know where I got it into my head that we were on the road in that game.

Joe Flacco and the Ravens are pretty bad on the road, very beatable. In that case I am a bit more confident, but it is a long and tough road ahead where we can't drop any games. If the universe aligns and the Redskins really want it, it's possible. But how many times has the universe aligned to help us? Maybe once or twice in the last century?

Also, a wild card is pretty much out of the question. I can't believe how the Colts get to play the easiest schedule ever. Titans twice, Browns, Jags twice, Bills, Jets, Dolphins, Lions, and Chiefs. Some things just aren't fair.

Based on who they play, Vikings finish at 7-8 wins, Seahawks finish at around 8-9 wins, Bucs Finishes at around 8-9(probably 9 wins if Falcons decide not to play starters for long or at all). Saints record is actually the most difficult to predict as they could conceivably get 10 wins but finish probably at 9 wins. All this means is that 9 wins for us could get the last spot and we have tie-breakers on these teams except Seattle.

[Warhead36]

We're only a game back and we have the tiebreaker over every team.

Just sayin...

Amazing. The Redskins can take on the Ravens. I'd imagine Ravens fans would worry about this game because they know how inconsistent the Ravens offense can be. If it turns into a shootout I'm confident to say the Redskins will win.

[kjames35]

I'm not much for looking into the future. All I know is I want to see the next endzone dance for Aldrick Robinson. That last one was hoochish.

It's funny, how often have we been able to say THAT the past twenty years?

I'm more worried about the Ravens than I am the Vagiants. We do have home field advantage for both games which is a plus. Joe Flacco helps fill the empty void in our secondary which is another plus. The only way we lose against the Ravens is if we have a record number of drops like we did against the steelers. I'd really like for us to stick it to that Philly Eagle, John Harbrough

so, I just saw this thread after posting about this in Around the NFL game thread.... and what I am posted makes the assumption that the Giants will lose tonight. It is more of a focus on next week's games and the games of all the WC contenders ahead of us.

A look at next weeks games... (all are facts below if we win next week)
And it's looking like EVERY TEAM that is ahead of us for the race for the LAST Wild Card spot plays ON THE ROAD and against teams that they SHOULD lose to and if they all lose then we should jump ahead of ALL them in the standings, SO conceivably, after next weekend, we could be in 1st place in the division AND have the edge for the last Wild Card spot should we need it.

NYG @ Wash. (we win and take over 1st in division)
Seattle @ Chicago (Chicago wins, we move ahead of Seattle)
Tampa @ Denver (Denver wins, we move ahead of Tampa)
Minnesota @ Green Bay (Green Bay wins, we move ahead of Minn)
Saints @ Atlanta (even if Saints win today, if they lose next week we move ahead of the Saints)

So, even if he Giants win tonight, we could be in the lead for the last WC spot and only 1 game back of NY if all the above happens.
