Still control our own destiny

[reptec101]

A wild card game is still very doable. Detroit winning their game yesterday helped us a lot. Won't sugarcoat it though... not gonna be easy with this unpredictable defense and our redzone struggles but it's there if we want it. Who knows,, once in we may get another crack at the Cowboys. Next weeks game now with the Cardinals will be for (at least for now) the last wildcard spot. If we win we will be set up nice.

Hey, with the season the Cowboys are having it's all we have to hope for. Besides, with KC we have a chance in any game.

We are Cowboys, Seahawks, Falcons, and Lions fans from here on out. Before anyone chimes in with, "Dude, how can you ever root for the Cowboys?" Grow up! Do you want to be playng in January or not?

Yup. We have to beat the Giants and ARI. We win those 2 games (assuming we don't shit the bed in the other 3 completely) and we should be in. Giants play CLE Sunday so they will have a 2 game lead on us going into week 12. 9-6-1 should get us in. 10-5-1 and we are a virtual lock.

The goal at this point should be to win out period. This team has to take every game as a playoffs elimination game at this point. One game at a time. The rest up from now to next Sunday will hopefully do the team some good. Also Arizona is the last game of Trents suspension.

Get a win in Arizona and we can start doing the math. A loss to Zona would mean we need way too much help to look ahead at week 17.

Pretty much. Big game this week. Arizona is the only team in the conference where tie-breaker would come into play. They have that tie on their record as well. Big, big, game next Sunday. Hope Atlanta can do us a solid this Sunday.

That Giants game has been looking like a play-in game for a while now. I don't want to have to deal with the pressure that would come along with a game like that. I think at minimum we have to at least split the next two. Joe Jocoby said on the radio this morning that he thinks this team can run the table.

It's late November and like reptec said, we still control our own destiny. After that 0-2 start, if someone would have said that we'd be in this position this late in the season, we would have all taken it.

As a Giants fan... I am certainly not putting this week @ Cleveland in the bank yet. It should be a safe win, sure... but I firmly believe the Giants could beat any team in the NFL and also lose to any team in the NFL, and I wouldn't be much surprised if either one happened on any given weekend.

Least dominating 7-3 team ever... but I'll take it.

You guys better beat CLE. If not, it could be crushing for you. You have the hardest remaining schedule after CLE. You've got Pittsburgh, Dallas, Lions, eagles, and skins. Gettin 3 wins from that stretch could be real tough for most any team. If you go 3-3 to finish out, you make the playoffs. You go 2-4 it could get dicey.

You're preaching to the choir, buddy.

In a perfect world for both teams, its wrapped up by week 16, both teams are resting starters for the playoffs.

But who am I kidding, we are the Redskins... we don't DO Easy.

Nope, we don't. I fully expect the Bears game to be a nail biter. I don't even know who the Bears QB is anymore, but I'm sure we will make him look like the next Bart Starr.

I cant even think that far ahead at the moment. Just hoping the Falcons do us a solid this weekend.
