I still think we win out and the Giants drop one if not two. If they drop two they might be spectators while we battle Dallas in that win and your in game.

dallas will lose to pitt next week. Skins will win and chicago will lose to GB. I also think the Giants will finish 10-6. So it's win out for us to win the east obviously. Maybe just maybe chicago stumbles and we sneak in over them

I said that, if we defeated the Giants and the Ravens we would go to the playoffs, I just don't see the Browns, Eagles, or Cowboys stopping us from making it to the playoffs by beating us. I think we finish 10-6 and win the division because the Giants will lose to either Baltimore or Atlanta.

I think we would be the most dangerous team in the NFC playoffs. we are on fire right now, just hope Griff is ok. Cousins is good though so I'm not as worried as I would if we had rex as the backup.

I'm sure everyone figured we would finish the season like this when the schedule was posted:

Eagles - Win
@ Cowboys on Thanksgiving - Win
Giants on Monday Night - Win
Ravens - Win
@ Browns - Win
@ Eagles - Win
Cowboys - Win

I know I did

[CRedskinsRule]

one thing for sure, it's going to be an interesting 3 weeks, and there will be one or two surprise losses.

[ethat001]

Not to mention (1) We get C.Griffin back by playoff time, and (2) Crawford played well. Even the D is looking better in second halves, not sure how they're holding it together..

[FRPLG]

Cle is no pushover. We're going to have to figure out how to win without our best product next week probably. Good teams can win games like this one coming up...we'll see. We're in line for a true football test.

I think we need to educate more people on this board about how tough Cleveland will be.

A lot of people here just look at the media, or the record, or both and just say "Oh Cleveland has a bad record; typical Cleveland; we should win"

I'll say this again, I'm as nervous going into this game as I was with the panthers game...

Cleveland is a very tough game. Their D is no joke and if they played in another division people would know more about them. This is exactly the type of game that the Redskins would drop in the past.

At the beginning of the year I had us losing to the Ravens and beating the Browns. As the season has progressed I was worried about both games. Last week I flip flopped and had us beating the Ravens and losing to the Browns.

I hope I'm wrong. I hope the Skins beat the Browns. But as most have said I think it boils down to how healthy RG3 is. It will be interesting to see what Cousins will do with a full weeks practice with starters if RG3 can't start or they hold him a week to get healthy.

I think Cousins can make all the throws and is acturate as all get out but he obviously is slower then RG3 and tweeks will have to be made to accomidate that.

On the plus side there is very little film of Cousins and the Skins can employ a different looks that the Browns will have a tough time preparing for. Like I said as long as Morris continues to run well and Garcon is healthy the Skins can succeed on offense. It's obviously much harder without Griffin but if there was one game where we had to use Cousins this is the one I would pick.

[Hail to the SteelSkins]

I agree, this is a great game for it to be Cousins, if it has to be, and like others have said all these teams have been studying to play against Griffin's offense. There is very little to no film on Kirk running a full offense based on his skill set. I imagine the coaching staff has been well prepared for this and there may even be a second playbook that has been designed around Cousins. The Browns D is tough but they really have nothing to look at to game plan on if it is cousins. They will have to prepare as if RG3 is going to be healthy are else he will clown them if he plays, its hard to study up two QB's with Different styles for one game, so I say it's win win. Although I want Griff to come out healthy and strong.

[skinsfaninok]

Defense is bad but they do just enough for us to get by. Really it's all about Griffin if he's healthy we can beat anyone
