The Giants have to win out and hope we lose both games.



So (if we lose to Philly) we in fact want the Giants to beat the Vikings so that they play the Eagles for a meaningful game.



Consider this: if we lose Saturday, then Fox has both the Skins/Cowboys, and the NYG/Philly game at 1pm on Sunday the 3rd, and the division champ could rest on the outcome of both games with the following scenario:

Philly wins, they win the division at 8-8 with a better division record then the Skins

NYG win, Redskins win, Skins win the division at 8-8 with a better div record then NYG

NYG win, Redskins lose, NYG win the division at 8-8 with Skins and Philly both at 7-9



edit: actually we own the conf. percentage tiebreaker with the Giants if we tie them at 8-8

Gotcha thanks for the breakdown C

The Giants can now not get in unless they win out and we lose out.

However Philly controls their own destiny. If they beat us and the Giants then they are in.

If we lose to Philly, we need to beat Dallas AND Giants need to beat the Eagles.

It's a shame about the games we lost to Dallas & Miami at home. If we would have won either of those, then yesterday's win against the Bills would have clinched the division.

Yeah, you can look at a handful of games and say it's a shame, I would throw Atlanta on the road in with your two.

But this was definitely a build from the bottom up year, and I think next year those games go our way.

And for what it's worth, the AFC South is worse than the NFC East.

This game won't be easy, the eagles were favored to win the SB by some. Even though they got blown out by AZ, they are pretty healthy have lots of talent and can strike quick. Remember the Dallas game? The one good thing is that we already got bulletin material from Mychal Kendricks:

"I mean, if I know this team and I know myself and the guys in here, man, the Redskins have something coming to them. For real. That's real [crap]. That's all I have to say about that."

Are you sure about that? I don't remember anyone thinking the Eagles could go on a Superbowl run after thr crazy personnel moves made by Kelly. I for one expected this kind of season from them.

The eagles have always had guys who are full of themselves.

Hold on, Coughlin never took ODB off the field for even one play to talk about what he was doing was wrong? well just lost a ton of respect for Coughlin too.

Well, Chris Baker provided some bulletin board stuff for Philly as well saying he is planning on partying in Philadelphia (Can't find the link but read it in a couple places yesterday).

Frankly, if anyone on this team needs stuff from Philly players to fire them up for a prime-time game with the division on the line, well, they are not the team we think they are.

They win this then they will have three in a row, a win on the road, and a win in prime time. That's pretty much the check list.

That was Baker's response to Kendricks statement, the Eagles need this game as badly as we do. It's going to be a war, I just worry about the long TD's allowed against Buffalo, the eagles can strike quick with those type of TD's and have a stout healthy D.

Can Bradford/Matthews really make the quick strikes Taylor/Watkins made? Also can Bradford evade like Taylor.

I think it will be a tough division game, but (and I probably will be burned) I think the defense should destroy the Eagles offense, and if the offense doesn't burn itself (I'm looking at you Jordan Reed/Matt Jones) with stupid mistakes, we will win by a comfortable TD margin. Meaning we will have a large enough lead that they might make a game of it late, but it will be over well before the final 2 minutes.
