The Giants where playing on the same field and I swear for every Giant that limped off the field or were slow to get up two to three Redskins did.

Actually, with the amount of divisional games in December the Skins have a good shot to make it. The condition being that they win out. Using the good ole ESPN playoff machine, if you set it up according to offensive rank, and have the Skins win out, we go in as the 5th seed.

5th Seed - Washington
Wins tie break over Seattle based on head-to-head win percentage. Wins tie break over Detroit based on best win percentage in common games (minimum of four).

If you use defensive rank, and have the Skins win out, we don't get in.

5th Seed - Atlanta
Wins tie break over Washington based on best win percentage in conference games. Division tie break was initially used to eliminate New Orleans (Atlanta wins tie break over New Orleans based on head-to-head win percentage).
6th Seed - New Orleans
Wins tie break over Washington based on head-to-head win percentage.

Ultimately I don't think we get in, and the NO game is the tiebreaking game. If that is the case, that would be a shame because this team has played their hearts out so far this season.
