Playoff Hopes Dead?

The difference between this year and last year (besides our record), is that there are a bunch of other good teams to grab a wildcard. Tampa (7-3), Atlanta (6-4), Carolina (7-3), Dallas (7-3), and New York (7-3) are in the hunt for four playoff spots. Can anyone honestly see us having a better record than any of those teams? I can't. Plus, we'd have to have a better record than TWO of those teams to get in.

I'm so depressed. I'm so tired of being depressed. I'm SO pissed we're 2-5 over the last 7 games.

[Sheriff Gonna Getcha]

At least we'll have a decent draft pick! Oh that's right, we don't have a 1st rounder.

[skinsguy]

Being realistic, especially with Chicago, Tampa Bay, Carolina, Seattle, NY Giants, Dallas, and Atlanta all having better records - most two games ahead of us - we will have to win out and hope some of these teams drop off.

Yeah, there still is a chance, but it's very doubtful.

Until he dies, it will be the same thing over and over.........

Welcome to the board I guess

Skins and us will be watching the playoffs from the same view--- TV screen

[BigSKINBauer]

we need to come in second in our division and i trust all will be fine
Giants and Cowboys play each other, one will obviously lose, we need to beat both of them and that garantees 2 loses to atleast one of those teams and we are tied up. Atlanta plays carolina twice this year, they may lose both and only two come out of the south AT MOST because tampa also plays carolina and falcons again

JUST remember that we might be tied with the fucking vikings tommorrow
so we have to worry about them too.

[mooby]

i think we are out of the race. i just can't believe we started out 3-0, and then went on to lose 5 of the next 7. absolute bullshit. this was a game we were easily supposed to win. if we can't beat the teams we are expected to beat, we will not be good. we have a tough schedule left, and our defense has given up way too many big plays.

[skinsfanthru&thru]

until mathematically eliminated I still hold out hope, but today's loss hurt a hell of a lot and the Skins will now host an explosive offense in San Diego coming off 2 extremely tough losses. My main question about today's game is why the heck is it so hard for the Skins to keep defenders atleast somewhat to opposing recievers? today's coverage was absolutely pathetic.

[BigSKINBauer]

look at the south.
Exclude the saints and easy games

BUcs play Atlanta again,panthers new england, and chicago

falcons play carolina twice, @chicago, @tampa, 3 division games cause some kind of losing within the division

panthers got an easier schedule with 2 atlanta, Tampa, Dallas, @buffalo.

Seriosly do only 2/11 people here think that we have a chance. This is it, our backs against the wall, time to fuck people up, no need to give up, as long as we win our last 5 we are money, people c'mon NEXT FUCKING WEEK who ever goes yell we need to win don't give up.

[BleedBurgundy]

we're 2 games back with 6 games to go. We still have a good chance, if we get it together.

[skinsguy]

I know my sig says never give up, but let's just say that I am not holding onto blind optimism. All I'm saying is, it's a long shot for us to make the playoffs.

[BigSKINBauer]

and we play those assholes that we are two games behind of, we can put them d-bags in the same hole we are in.

i like how some of the people that think we have a chance are now voting, i thought no one had any hope, but i see we are semi strong

[itvnetop]

let's just remember that in some lean years, 9-7 gets you in. And it's not like the NFC is the AFC this season... if we can go 4-2 with some outside help, it's a chance. but then again, our team has to show up.

[skinsguy]

But, I think at 9-7 we're out, simply because the other NFC teams in the hunt are going to have to have a complete collapse in the next 6 weeks. I believe if those 7-3 teams keep winning for the next three weeks, we're probably in big danger.

[SUNRA]

We still are in it. 2-1 in the division and still have 3 out of 6 at home. It certainly will take a win from this part out. Sometimes I think the Redskins subconsciously thrive off of their backs being against the wall. It's time to buckle up and win.
