I don't think the Redskins make the playoffs if they lose at home this week. I don't think Dallas makes it regardless, but I think Atlanta and/or Tampa will get to 11-5, and keep us out of the playoffs.

10-6 gets us in ONLY if we can finish second in the division. So if we lose to NYG, and Baltimore in consecutive weeks, but beat Philly, I think we still have a one game margin for error in the other 4 games (Cinci, SF, Sea, Dallas).

As I mentioned in another thread, I'm confident that a three game winning streak right now will allow us to win the NFC East. I don't see the Giants beating both Baltimore and Arizona in their next two games, I see them splitting those. If we can beat them, we will knot it up at 9-3. I also think they will lose to Philly OR Dallas in their last few games, so that would put them at 12-4 for the year.

We can hold that tiebreaker if we can will all three of our home division games. I believe Philly will be the toughest of those games.

If we don't go 3-0 the rest of November, I think we're playing for a wild card.
