NFC East Chances

[mooby]

Man can we at least get back to .500 before we start talking playoffs? 4-6 doesn't sound like a playoff team to me.

Thing is, Mike has been so bad, that even a very remote chance at a playoff berth has people creaming their undies. That and the thinking that this team should be 6-4 or better. We must win two more games before we even reach .500, and both are against our two biggest rivals (neither of which has a green rookie starting his first game with an Oline that looks like swiss cheese).

I will temper my expectations, and refuse to catch this optimism bug. Sad to say, I think alot of people will fall hard after reality sets in, and Shanahan screws this franchise yet again. But thats not to say I wouldnt be happy with a playoff berth, but being a pessimist is good and bad. Good if you are disappointed, but bad because of the less than rosy outlook on everything.

I like you Mech, I really do - but c'mon man! Let go of the Mike hate for just a moment and allow yourself to have fun. Is it likely - no. A six game run? Show me a two game run first - get to .500 and maybe, maybe - it's a real conversation. At the same time, are you really so intent on cursing at your TV and spreading misery that you can't just let people dream? There will be plenty of time for your anti-Shanahan's rants, maybe as early as tomorrow.

For now, why not just let yourself enjoy the hope for the play offs while, mathmatically, you still can? I, and most of us here, realize it is likely a fleeting opportunity.

A plea for a Redskins fan to try and enjoy the team?? Who would have thought we'd need such a thing!

Couldn't have said it better myself!

Optimism not allowed folks.

Nothing to see here, go back to your miserable lives.

2nd,little super bowl run,come on really?

3rd,Giants don't beat Greenbay in the regular season,at greenbay in the playoffs but not during the regular season.

No I live in Jersey. Have lived in Jersey all my life.
Second - i have given the Giants a ton of credit all over these threads for their little super bowl runs - i was being sarcastic!
I am fully aware that they only beat the Pack in the playoffs - I am fully aware they only beat MOST teams in the playoffs.

Everyone remembers Wreckx-N-Effect, right?

Awesome......

All that matters right now is winning on Turkey day. We're pretty much in the playoffs from here out. Gotta keep winning. Fortunately, if we're going to be in this position, we get to play the teams that we also need to lose. So, as Matty said, we control our own destiny to a certain degree.

One win; We put up threads like this

One loss; We put up threads like "MS Needs to be Fired"

Just wanted to bring this back up after the big win Thursday....

Basically, Monday Night against the Giants is still a must win. At worst, they'll come in 1 full game ahead of us. If they were to win the Monday Nighter, it would be two full games, and they'd own the tiebreaker head to head so basically three games with four to play. So I don't see anyway we can win the division without getting that game.

If we can pull of the W there, we'd pretty much control our own destiny (NYG would need to lose one other game, but with the schedule they have it's almost a certainty).

yeah, we really can't talk about playoffs unless/until we beat the giants.

Well, we are basically in a playoffs-like situation now. We lose and we are done. Regardless what happens, I just hope we play well like we have done in the past two games (or better)
