Re: the playoff hunt...

i'd agree, win out or go home...a scenario that looks less likely with JC down. I know Collins played well, but its one thing to come in a game for an injured QB and catch the Defense off guard, but its another thing to play that well against a team that has game planned for you all week- just ask A.J. Feely.

All I know is the Redskins traditionally can be a very SCARY team in December. Somehow that train just seems to start rolling.

Re: the playoff hunt...

We can do this people. The Giants CAN be beat...and in case you haven't noticed, they haven't exactly played well. I don't think we will lose twice to them this season. Then we'll have Minnesota and will NEED to stop the run. If we do that, we will WILL be in the playoffs.

Re: the playoff hunt...

Minnesota could really end up being our playoff game.

Let's focus on the Giants first.

Absolutely. I want revenge.
Keep in mind, the Giants have choked late in the season before.

Re: the playoff hunt...

I think the biggest key would be minnesota. They need to lose a game or two, counting against us. Arizona, will lose another game probably two. we need to win all of our games basically to have a realistic shot at this thing.

I do think we need to just air it out and let Al take over and call his offensive plays. we have nothing to lose.

Re: the playoff hunt...

With Collins in the game I think it was pretty clear that Saunders was calling things differently. He even said himself that he's got a lot of confidence in Collins.

I don't think we should read that as he lacks confidence in Campbell... obviously there's a certain comfort level there due to Collins and Saunders having worked together in this offense for so many years.

I think with Collins, you see the extent to which Saunders system is based around short, quick passes. They really caught the Bears flat footed a few times. I'm not sure that Campbell's skill set, which is impressive in it's own right, fits all that well with what Saunders wants to do. However, I think that our other skill players fit that philosophy extremely well. If we can tape our defense together for three more games, we have an excellent chance.

I agree...even Gibbs said that Collins KNOWS when something is wrong in practice. He is obviously very football intelligent. By watching him, he seems to lack raw skill, something that Campbell does not lack. If we could put collins head in the saunders system on Campbell's body, we'd have a hall of famer on our hands.
Maybe we will now see the infamous 700 page playbook, instead of about 15 pages.
