I have to agree with the old timer about our slim chances. Our D is dreadful and Carolina and GB seem to be getting their swag back.

I think TB losses 1 maybe 2 more, Dallas will beat them and usually NO splits with them.

If things go the way they've been going for most of the year TB will lose to Dallas and we'll take back that 2nd wildcard spot with a W next Monday. I don't see them losing to NO, idk why but NO has been some garbage this year. When was the last time you heard of Drew Brees throwing 0 td's in 6 picks across b2b games? The one constant they had was Brees, if he's fucking up that team is done.

Will the Redskins make the playoffs? Stat experts say basically a coin flip | CSN Mid-Atlantic

As the Redskins prepare to face the Carolina Panthers on Monday night, they do so with a little less than a 50 percent chance of making the NFL's postseason. FiveThirtyEight.com gives the 'Skins a 46 percent chance of making the playoffs, trailing the Bucs, who the site listed at a 54 percent chance of making the postseason.

So basically it's us or the Buc, Bucs having slight edge.

Rooting guide for the day:

The big ones are Cowboys over Bucs, Lions over Giants, and 49ers over Falcons. Also want Bears over Packers and Colts over Vikings. Saints at Cardinals is basically irrelevant, I suppose we want the Saints to win since they're playing the Bucs next week


As for the poll, it's hard to say we will. Its just too hard to predict the Bucs losing more than one over these last 3, and that would require us to go 3-0 to get in. The other possibility is that the Giants lose one of their next two with us winning both which would make week 17 a win and you're win. I dunno, I'll go with the chances and say no. But I would love nothing more than to be proved wrong, this team has never won a playoff game while I've been a fan

P.S. If a few of the teams we need to lose today do I'll hop right on the "playoff bound" band wagon

Redskins now control their playoff destiny | CSN Mid-Atlantic

If they win tonight the Redskins could clinch a playoff berth on Christmas Eve if they beat the Bears and the Packers lose to the Vikings at home and the Bucs fall in New Orleans.

With three games left there are plenty of other paths for the Redskins to get to the playoffs without winning out. Per the website FiveThirtyEight.com the Redskins have between a 68 percent chance and a 72 percent chance of getting to the playoffs if they win two of their last three. That’s a lot less than the 100 percent chance that a 3-0 finish would bring but it points out the fact that there still is a lot of football to played.

For now, the Redskins just need to take care of business tonight. Per FiveThirtyEight.com a win tonight moves their playoff chances from 53 percent to 72 percent.
