We're hot now, and were moving in the right direction, but some people here are getting carried away and thinking we don't need to be worried about teams that have better records than us. Our offense will keep us in every game, but we are not a dominant team yet.

I think you may be a little too picky in defining a quality win.

On the road in week one in New Orleans with a rookie QB... I don't remember anyone giving us much of a chance in that one. Thanksgiving in Dallas? Monday night against the Giants? I'd say those are some quality wins.

We hammered the Eagles to start this streak, so there's your big win over a bad team. Heck what about yesterday? On the road with a backup rookie QB and we put up 38... Not impressed?

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.

You know there are some who would see us win 53-0 and complain about a missed holding call on a 3rd and 4 in the 2nd quarter.. Don't try to swim in those waters, logic doesn't float.

correct me if i'm wrong

We lose a head to head tie with the Cowboys because they have a better record vs. common opponents which supersedes conference record. In a three way, we win I believe though because then conference takes precedence but either way we have to beat Dallas to win the East regardless of what happens in Week 16.

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.

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.

Speaking off playoffs, it's been particularly satisfying seeing Laron Landry play for the shitty Jets while we've been on a roll. #waterunderthebridge

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.)

I think the most dramatic NFC Wildcard weekend would be
NYG @ Skins (if that happened, it would mean during our winning streak we would have beaten Dallas and Philly twice during our win streak, and a win over the Giants would mean we beat them 2xs also. )

and

Seattle @ GB (Settle the replacement ref debacle once and for all, unless the reg refs make a bad call at the end too!)
