Redskins are in a great position for a play off run

[WheresRickySanders83]

It's very simple. We are 2-1 in the NFC East, the Giants are 2-2. If Green Bay wins tonight, we control our own destiny to get in with a division title. If Green Bay wins, all bets are off.

Was that a typo at the end? Because you said "if Green Bay wins" twice. You're not suggesting that we're out of the division race if GB loses, are you?

Is that what I typed?

Is that what I typed?

We want GB to win tonight and not lose.

No, which is why I asked if you wrote a typo. The "all bets are off" made your last sentence confusing.

the Niners better not **** the bed here...

Seahawks could be in trouble-

Seahawks CBs Sherman, Browner both face PED suspensions

the only chance that the skins have to make the playoffs is to win the division, which I believe we have a real shot right now. We have some momentum going and the team has come out after the bye with a new attitude and a little sense of urgency. If the packers beat the giants, the skins control there own destiny. If we win out the rest of the way, we will win the nfc east.

winning the division is the BEST way to make the playoffs, but hardly the only way. last WC spot is totally up for grabs, especially after this weekend.

well, today was in our favor in a BIG way. COME ON GREEN BAY!!!!! Giants lose tonight, Fed Ex will be Rocking come next Monday! Hail.

With all of the other wild card teams playing today our chances got slightly better:

Seahawks, Vikings, Saints, Bucs all lost today.

Basically, we still need to win at least 4 of next 5 games, and our best chance will be to win the next game too.

Before the above teams played today:

Win 5 99% chance of making it
Win 4 79% chance of making it
Win 3 21% chance of making it

After the above teams lost:

Win 5 is 99% chance of making playoffs
Win 4 is 85% chance of making playoffs
Win 3 is 26% chance of making playoffs
Win 2 is 1% chance of making playoffs

I wonder what it will be if the Giants lose...

a good day for our wild card hopes! Let's go Packers!

No. The Redskins are only one back from the last WC and hold tiebreakers over all but one of the teams. This is important to consider, since the Giants could win tonight, lose to us, and still be up on us a game and then go on a run.

Packers are looking bad so far. Giants already up 10 in the 2nd quarter. Might need that WC spot after all

[ConnSKINS26]

Both of the Seahawks starting CB's are getting 4 game suspensions for taking Adderall, though they're appealing.

Packers are ruining everything.
