Giants are locked into the 5th seed now, maybe they rest some starters next week

Yeah, but Cowpukes have first seed all sewed up. They may rest starters and we want them to beat Detroit.

They won't rest starters and take off 3 weeks. They'll play to win Monday and they probably will.

If Detroit wins against Dallas are we done?

If Det beats Dallas they need to beat GB next week too.

C'mon Saints!

Right ... i read that post and second guessed myself. Thought i edited it.
Saints win was huge. If Dallas wins Monday we control our own destiny again. Hope it is over before it starts!

Good thing is, if Detroit loses against Dallas, we just have to beat the Giants to get in, because now that TB lost one, either a loss by GB or 2 losses by Detroit get us into the playoffs (if we beat the Giants), and GB plays the Lions next week!

So if Detroit losed to the Cowboys, the winner of the Detroit vs Green Bay game gets in and the other is eliminated?

Wait, does Detroit need to lose tomorrow or tomorrow and next week for us to get in (if we beat the Giants)?

The giants have nothing to play for either, they are locked into the 5 seed. That means they probably will rest most starters. We win that game. So basically if Dallas wins Monday at home like they should, we r in

I hope this helps:

1. We must beat the Giants to have a chance to get in. If we win, then our final record will be 9-6-1.

2. That would eliminate TB because the best they can finish is 9-7.

3. If Detroit beats Dallas on Monday, they are in the playoffs because that would be their 10th win. They would then enter their final game with a 10-5 record.

4. So, if Detroit wins Monday and we beat NYG next week, then we would still need Detroit to beat GB for us to get in. With a loss, GB would finish 9-7 and they would be eliminated. If GB beats Detroit in that game, both teams would finish at 10-6 and both of those teams would make the playoffs while we would be eliminated.

5. If Detroit loses to Dallas, then both Detroit and GB will be 9-6 going into their final game vs. one another. The winner of that game wins their division and, with a Skins victory over the NYG, the loser will finish 9-7 and be eliminated.

If they lose tomorrow, we don't care if they lose to GB or not, because we need either GB to drop one, or Detroit to lose 2.

Worst scenario is Lions win tomorrow and lose to GB next week.

But KI explained it best.

As long as we beat the Giants that is correct

if you remember back to the beginning of the season, many of us (me, for example) were concerned that our 2016 schedule (#17 overall) was tougher than the 2015 version (#21 overall).

So, in retrospective, we should all be quite pleased that we're still alive for the playoffs at this point.

There's no doubt we gave away 3 games or so & didn't show up for another 2-3.

Also, remember that the NFCE was horrid last year, but had an unparalleled revival this year- Dallas & NYG are tough outs and Philly has sparked more than anyone gave them credit for.

But, even after all of that, here we are...still with a fighter's chance of extending the season.

So, regardless of how this plays out Monday night & the games next week, as 'Skins fans we have a lot to be thankful for.

If we can add a few pieces and get better play from just a few spots....(DL, LG, S, ILB, RB) this team will be among the NFL elite.

And hey, if some pieces fall into place the next week or so, all we have to do is play better and be more fortunate than the other team & we keep moving on.

There's a lot to be thankful for & the future is bright.

HTTR!

Good post.

Even last year when we won the division, we weren't getting any respect, everybody was like "your schedule was easy, you beat no team with a winning record".

This year I feel, regardless of wether or not we make the playoffs (which I hope we will cuz this is one of the goals of a season), we're finally getting some credit, we are more legit to be in the playoffs.
