Re: Playoff hunt!

After last week I wanna believe the Skins are going to be dominant again on Sunday, but after the Carolina letdown I am not going to get my hopes up again. That was the best opportunity we had all year to make a statement, and the only statement we made is that we couldn't be trusted to get the job done.

Is this a winnable game? Absolutely. Should we win considering all the factors? Definitely. If we play up to our potential and they rest key guys, should this be a close game? Absolutely not. Yet for some reason I'm not sold. I'm putting 90% odds that we will win this game, but the Redskins have always been that team that will beat the odds (in the worst possible way) when you least expect it.

Case in point, Carolina game. The Redskins had an easily winnable game against a mediocre team with an injured star qb. It was on national tv in front of the whole world. All they had to do was win in order to take control of the 6th seed and their playoff destiny. The least they could've done is shown up, but they were never in the game. The final score was closer than the game ever was. I'm sure they also saw the stat that we were 1-16 in our last 17 home MNF games, with a -200 jillion point differential that was leaps and bounds worse than any other team in the NFL. And yet they still looked like dogshit, like they didn't want it.

Also final reason I'm not picking the Skins, is because I'm watching the game with my boys this weekend and whenever we get together (usually for primetime games) the Skins always lose. Prove me wrong Skins, I'd be more than happy to be proven wrong in this case.
