Yes but we control our own doom too.
Tonight is huge. I do not see us losing to Chicago, and if it comes down to a home game against the Giants to get in I do not see us losing there either.
Tonight scares me because it is not do or die yet.
Last few times into the playoffs we had to rattle off four or five in a row. Three is small potatoes. I trust this team. Tonight freaks me out BUT we win big.

Our team better come out pumped to play this game. If they come out flat (again) and have to play catch-up, we may not win. We need to show intensity throughout the entire game for once.

IF they come out flat, they don't deserve to either win or make the playoffs. They know they have to win out to get to the big show and the game is at home. If they come out flat they just plain suck, but I don't think they will, as this team showed too much pride last season to come off as a bunch of chumps.

People are talking about Cravens forty time (4.65?) like he's a damn offensive lineman. It's not THAT bad if he's playing in the box mostly.

Duke Ihenacho - 4.51
Donte Whitner - 4.4
Bashaud Breeland - 4.62
Will Blackmon - 4.46

Personally, I don't feel like speed is the issue at safety. It's being out of place...

Did I read correctly that it's possible NY would be resting their starters that day?

Yes. If they have the 5th spot clinched and aren't in contention for the Division Championship, they may rest some of their players. To win the Division, the Giants need to win both of their remaining games (@ Philly, @ Skins) and Dallas needs to lose both its two remaining games (Lions, @ Philly).

For the last game, both Dallas v. Philly and our game with the Giants are scheduled for 1/1/017 at 1:00 so, for NYG to be locked into the 5th spot (and, thus, be resting starters in our game), we need Dallas to beat the Lions or NYG to lose to Philly.

I am damn sick of hoping the Cowgirls win to improve our shot at the playoffs so I really want Philly to beat the Giants. I HATE Philly and love seeing them mired in blechiness so this is only slightly more palatable than rooting for the Cowboys - but since a NFC East rival has to win the game, might as well be the one that will likely work best for us.

Or ... we could just kick the Giants ass no matter who they put on the field.

Imagine if they rest their starters, and we need to win to get in? A gimme for the post season.
Than imagine it is a close game late.

they just did a story on Jamison Crowder and his little brother who has downs syndrome, he just became my favorite Redskin. Also RJF wearing cleats dedicated to Craig Sager:

Redskins defensive end Ricky Jean Francois is wearing cleats to honor legendary NBA sideline reporter Craig Sager, who died earlier this week.

I wanna see Chris Baker put Cam Newton in an arm bar while taking him down for a sack tonight.

I also want to see Cam crying at the presser after the game and curtsy as he leaves the field tonight....

This our house, this our game...bring it.

If we don't win tonight considering the stakes and at least on paper we are the better team plus at home. We don't deserve the playoffs IMO.

Absolutely. I would be really crushed if we lose this game. MNF and we are a playoff team as of today. I don't see us losing tonight. It's a new redskins team.
