A loss eliminates the last flickering hope of winning the NFC East. It reduces the Skins to pursuing the #6 seed (last wildcard), and it makes the game in Tampa next week a virtual must win given the tiebreaker ramifications.

A win means that we can still dream of catching the Cowboys for the NFC East lead with a little help. It would move us one step closer to the 9 or 10 wins that we'll need to ensure at least a wildcard.

Taking care of business in the more winnable games (TB, Chicago, Buffalo, Minn) is a more realistic path for this team to squeak into the post-season.
