I feel like most of our losses we do just enough to remain in it at the end, but we can never take or keep the lead. You're right, we will have one or two upsets, which is just enough to keep our hopes up until they get mercilessly crushed at the end.

Re: Playoff picture

We need to win 6 of the last 7. No bueno.

If we beat the Saints, its kinda like playing with house money bc we should be favored to win the last 6.

Playoff guess -- 15% if we beat the Saints, 7% if we lose to Saints.

We ain't making the playoffs, even if we beat new Orleans which probably isn't gonna happen.

Yesterday's loss was a killer. Most of the NFC teams vying for a wildcard berth are either 6-3 or 5-4. A win would've clearly put us in prime position for a playoff run.

If we somehow beat New Orleans, then we're back in it. The problem is there is gonna be very, little room for error. There is still a chance the last wildcard spot could go to a 9-7 squad. But, to be on the safe side, a team may need to be 10-6.

Re: Playoff picture

We’re too inconsistent and too banged up. Unless something changes really quick we’re probably looking at 8-8 at best.

Yeah 8 wins is the ceiling for this team. I think we'll get 1 from NY, 1 from AZ and 1 from Dallas. Then sneak a W maybe from Denver or someone.

Exactly, under Gruden's watch the Redskins throw in at least 2 games a year where they lay an egg in a game where an easy win was expected, those are probably still on the horizon.

They win games they aren't close to being picked (Seattle) but then lose to NY.

Re: Playoff picture

The only playoff picture I'm thinking about is what couch/bar stool will I be watching other teams playoff games. If TNT did football we'd be gone fishin'.

Re: Playoff picture

If we beat NO (again probably not gonna happen) then we could go 9-7, we have NY twice, AZ, Denver and Dallas . I still think we have to go 10-6 to even have a shot. We need Atlanta and Carolina to start losing ASAP

Re: Playoff picture

The fucking Saints just won 7 in a row ... dont close the door on 6 out of 7 just yet yall. Imagine that message board after starting 0-2. Brees is done, fire Payton, etc ...

But Im not even sure 10-6 will get you in. Lots of games to be played, but this is crazy.

Eagles (8-1)
Rams (7-2)
Vikings (7-2)
Saints (7-2)
-----------------------
Panthers (7-3)
Seahawks (6-3)
Cowboys (5-4)
Lions (5-4)
Packers (5-4)
Falcons (5-4)

How are there this many wins in the NFC? The math doesnt add up. 10 teams with winning records in the 16 team NFC? There are 6 teams with winning records in the AFC.

I think 11-5 is needed for an NFC wildcard ... wow.

edit -- we need to win the last 7 to make it.

Yeah I'm. Just hoping to finish 8-8

Re: Playoff picture

They have the playoff predictor at ESPN.com. The offensive rank scenario puts us in at 10-6. The rest of the scenarios we don't make it in.

Basically, it's too early to be predicting whether or not we make the playoffs, but even with these last two weeks, the Skins still have a shot (yes, I'm saying there's a chance)

Re: Playoff picture

It's over man lol. We aren't making the playoffs this yr. 9-7 is possible because our schedule is so easy but I wouldn't even count on that
