Playoff Scenerio Thread (Just The Facts)

NO!

Cheer for the Giants, Vikings, and Bears to lose (along with us winning) so that we go into the Cowboy game assured of a playoff spot no matter the outcome.[/QUOTE]

Precisely!!

Man, with all these scenarios... just makes that blown secondary coverage against the Giants at the end with Victor Cruz that much more painful to think about.

Scenario could of been a lot simpler had the defense held on that final minute.

All of this talk; all of this hype; all of this excitement.

The ONE singular thing crossing my mind right now is this; the Redskins secondary should be grilled every single moment up to that game about sticking to their responsibilities and not trying to be a hero, and under NO circumstances should Williams be caught flat-footed staring at the QB and getting burned.

This is the thing that bothers me more than anything else; no, its the ONLY thing that bothers me, because its always Madeu being roasted out there. And for good measure, duct tape Hall's mouth...

I really think we will have a wild card spot when all is said and done on Sunday evening.



The Ravens need a win and can win the division, Texans win and they get a 1st round bye, and the Cards defense is motivated and tough and if they were able to shut down Stafford & Megatron they can do the same to Cutler & co. These teams won't roll over. I know...it's all wishful thinking, but I feel it.

I really hope you're right. I'm all over the map right now as far as being excited and yet fearful of dissapointment. I feel on edge right now, but if the 4 games this weekend could somehow turn out the right way for us and clinch a wild card spot, then I can relax during Christmas. I try to tell myself that a) it's out of my conrol and b) it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things, but that's not helping...

Can't assume everything else would have happened as is. Hitting rock bottom at 3-6 may have been a huge blessing in disguise. Who knows... If we win the first game against the Giants, they might have drilled us on MNF... Could have been a desperation game for them. Who knows... Maybe we'd be 10-4 right now... Or maybe we'd be 6-8..... Or maybe right where we are. Who knows.

Exactly. There's no way I'm dwelling on previous losses after winning five straight.

Yes. This would be the absolute best. As fans, knowing that we're going to the playoffs, sure would take some of the sting out of a loss to the Cowboys. I wonder how this scenario ( clinch berth this week ), compared to a " win or out " situation against Dallas would affect the teams mentality or mood for the Dallas game. Better? Or less focus?

I think the team would still be jacked and ready to play. They know a win would still give them a division title (which, will assure them a home playoff game), and, more than likely, eliminate the Cowboys from the playoff contention.

Yeah, I think it would be the best of both worlds...we would have all the motivation with none of the pressure.

After we beat Philly, all eyes will be on the Ravens/Giants game at 4:30pm

I doubt the focus changes, because we'll still be playing for a home playoff game and a division title, something we haven't had here since 1999.

[HighOnHendrix]

But we are probably playing Dallas at home for a shot at the division or a playoff spot. We're doing that while being led by a handful of rookies and younger 20-somethings. This is awesome. Even if we fall short, this is a building block.

That's the truth. The future is bright!

[skins4eva]

Awesome thread! We are winning out anyway, so dispense with the alternative scenarios!

[Tastes Like Chicken]

This team is gonna make some noise. And I'm itching to get back to the big easy...
