Regarding everyone who is taking the Seahawks lightly, you are either uninformed or overestimate the skins.

Seatles scored 350 points this year allowed only 219... Just one more point than league leading sanfransico. In contrast, we've scored 381 while allowing 350. So, what does that tell us? It tells us that Seattle outscores their opponents by 9 points per game while we do so by only 2.

Yes, they've beaten up on some bad teams, but that's better than us - all of our games have been nail biters. Imagine how our defense would play AGAINST rg3 and that's pretty much how it would look playing against Wilson. Seattles offense would do to our defense what they do to everyone else. Our offense would do to Seattle defense what it has done to... Oh wait, we haven't played a defense half as good as Seattles all season. If we play Seattle, chances are we lose and ugly game. So if you want us to advance in the playoffs, hope Seattle comes in as the 6th wildcard and hope Green Bay beats them. We do much better playing the giants, bears or Vikings in the first round of the playoffs.

that 350 points for stat just might be skewed by their last 2 games dontcha think?

I like our chances against any of the other NFC playoff teams better than against them.

Ok thats your opinion. Mine is that they are an enigma. They are dr jekyll mr hyde. If we play them in fedex than we win. Like most teams do (5 out of 8) to be exact when they play Seattle outside Seattle. You call it b and g glasses and i call it the facts. If we do play. them in the first round you can eat some serious crow. Lol.
I would consider Minnesota, Dallas, and the Giants all quality wins btw.
Edit: when i say quality win i mean a win against a good team. No style points in the nfl. The seahawks have one quality road win. Chicago in ot. Chicago is in a free fall.

I love mock drafts.
Edit: they are worthless but i still get excited looking at a seven round mock two years out. Lol

Me too, but its a lot harder to find a good mock draft now that is relevant to the Redskins because most of them are just round 1 because its so far out. That was the only part of the trade I don't like lol, it lessened my mock draft fun.

I wish I would've bought some Skins vs. Cowboys tickets when we were 3-6.

NFL Giants, Skins could clinch spots this week - ESPN

Actually we can clinch a spot as a wildcard this weekend.

We win. Giants, Vikes, and Bears lose. Wildcard, but like I have said numerous times we win out to win the division.

I want to go to a home playoff game.

Well, I like the idea of clinching a playoff spot, and that doesn't preclude us from winning it all the next week. It's only a little far-fetched to think we could clinch the playoff spot:
We beat the Eagles (hopefully likely)
Houston beats the Bears (probably)
Baltimore beats the Giants (again 50/50 shot depending on who actually decides to play)
Arizona beats the Vikings(oh, nevermind. AP may very well run for 200+ again.)

The ones with trades are great. Lol. Talk about worthless. However maybe they have one where we are trading down?

Never heard that. I thought even in a three way the criteria is the same? Im not seeing any logic in a three way reversing the criteria. Anybody know for sure? Bueller?
Edit: was reading the tiebreaker criteria - i believe it stays the same in a two or threeway tie, but what is really awesome is the number 12 tiebreaker. A coin toss. The odds of 1-11 being the same are probably like 1 in 100, 000,000 but can you imagine missing out on the playoffs because of a ****ing coin toss. If the coin lands on its side whats next? Rock paper scissors?

I don't recall exactly where I saw that (common opponents) was what gave the NFCE to Dallas, but this article states they win out in a three way tie at 9-7 and they beat us, Redskins, Cowboys or Giants: Who will win NFC East? - NFL.com.

Hm, I always thought it was head to head then conference, then division.

[hooskins]

Yupp, looks like we have to beat Dallas.

[12thMan]

Anyone suggesting we don't have quality wins is just being difficult. We've gone against and beaten some of the best defensive fronts and QBs in the league.
