ESPN: Kicking off the NFC playoff standings (Redskins Impacted By "Fail Mary" play)

Seattle will lose at Buffalo.....and to either the Rams or Niners
The Skins will win out and the Giants will lose two more.
There's no stopping RG lll now.....he's on a mission.

Fixed. I meant we couldn't win the division if we didn't win out

Yes we can! It's all in the thread who needs to win and needs to lose. NY will lose at least 2 more and we can run the table and enter with a bang, Look out for the Washington Redskins!

I know it's mathematically possible, but don't think it's probable. It's also mathematically possible to win out and not make the playoffs. I'm just saying the best chance to make the wildcard is to go 3-1 with 1 loss to an AFC team only. Best chance to win the division is to win out. I don't think the giants will go 2-2 down the stretch. More likely to go 3-1

No way Seattle loses to Buffalo the Bills are bad I seen them play against Indy a few weeks ago. The Colts tried to give the game to the Bills I think Luck had 2 ints and the Bills still lost are best chance is Seattle losing to the Rams

Didn't want to start a new thread for this. Feel free to check my work

===9-7 Ties===

Skins (3-1)
9-7 (loss to ravens or browns)
Div: 5-1
Conf: 8-4

Giants (2-2)
9-7 (worst case scenario for seeding is L to ravens and falcons/saints, W over eagles and 1 more NFC)
Div: 3-3
Conf: 8-4

==> Skins Win division on higher division ratio

Seahawks (2-2)
9-7 (worst case scenario for seeding is L to bills, 2 wins vs NFC)
Conf: 7-5

==> Skins Win Wildcard with higher conference ratio

Bears (1-3)
9-7 (all NFC so which W/L doesn't matter)
Conf: 7-5

==> Skins Win Wildcard with higher conference ratio

===10-6 Ties===

Skins (4-0)
10-6
Div: 5-1
Conf: 8-4

Giants(3-1)
10-6 (worst case is L to Ravens)
Div: 3-3
Conf: 9-3

==> Skins Win division on higher division ratio

Seahawks (3-1)
10-6 (worst case is L to bills)
Conf: 8-4
==> Hawks win Wildcard on common opponents, 5-1 vs. 4-2, unless their loss is to the Rams

Bears
10-6 (2-2)
Conf: 8-4
==> Bears win wildcard on common opponents, 5-1 vs. 4-2, unless their loss is to the Vikings


==> After commoon opponents, the next tie breaker is Strength of Victory, so it would depend on how much ground we can make up there.

West coast team going east theory......they rarely win. Plus, Buffalo is rejuvenated and thinks they have a chance at playoffs. Spiller and Jackson are both dangerous backs. Bills will win.
