Lets just worry about the Bengals for right now. The Redskins are a lifetime away at this point.

I own up to anything I say on here once you post something it's on record. I'm not saying Washington has a great team and will win next week. Where did I say they would win next week? I'm saying they're a better team than the Cowboys are right now and will beat them in the season finale if the NFC East is on the line. Washington is getting better you can clearly see it. They went from losing 3 straight games to winning 3 straight including a big win over the Giants last night.
They beat a Giants team that killed the Packers 38-10 a week ago. The Packers were riding a 5 game winning streak when the Giants mauled them. Are you going to deny the Redskins aren't playing good right now and are playing better football than the Cowboys?

The Cowboys on the other hand were down by 11 points to a crappy Philly team Sunday night that was ridding a 7 game losing streak and had all their key players out. The Cowboys had to scratch and claw to win that game in the last 6 minutes.
I firmly believe the Cowboys will be mathematically done by the season finale they're far too mediocre a team to stay alive with the opponents they have coming up. It wouldn't surprise me if they lose out that's just how little I think of the way they're playing right now.

I think you are overestimating that Redskins team, KJ.
That is not to say anything one way or the other about the Cowboys. Just saying those Skins are very beatable.
They do have a pretty good schedule going forward though. The too toughest games for them are at home and both very winnable.

I don't know about the Cowboys. We'll see. They are going to have to if they want to make the playoffs. We don't know about the Redskins either. This is new territory for them. The one thing I don't care about is how close of a win it was to beat the Eagles. All I care about is that it was a win. Sometimes a team just needs to win to get that feeling again. I'm almost glad that the game was close and wasn't easy for the cowboys. That would give them that false sense. One thing about this team is that they don't quit and that is something we haven't seen from past Cowboy teams. Even in the two blowout games against the Bears and Seahawks they tried to do things but either they didn't work or they made mistakes like turning the ball over but they kept trying to get back into those games.

KJJ is right though, he's not saying that the Redskins are some juggernaut of a team, he is saying that their arrow is pointing up and that they are playing good football right now, the same cannot be said about the Cowboys. As it stands right now, Washington is playing better football than Dallas and if it comes down to a division title in that last game, I have a hard time believing the Cowboys will win that game in that environment.

This right here is a product of the league. One game doesn't link to another game. And your example is perfect. The Giants looked great against Green Bay but not quite the same against Washington. Washington has looked very good the last 3 weeks but that could change this Sunday.

I'm not certain RG will stay healthy. He suffers the same risks all QBs do when they become a runner. The Skins are 6-6 for a reason. RG is still a rookie.
We are vulnerable on D right now especially having to play a mobile QB.
The Giants secondary is worse off than we are.
It's anyone's guess who wins the East this year.
Did you know there are only 5000 Snow Leopards in the wild now and they are confined to Central Asia? However, the effective global population (those likely to reproduce) is less than half that number.

I feel sure that RG3 is going to have concussion issues very early in his career unless something changes soon.
It may not happen this season, but with those hits he's taking, it is only a matter of time.
I wish he didn't play for Washington, b/c I've always been a fan of his.

My prediction of the Cowboys losing in the season finale in Washington if the NFC East is on the line is based more on how little I think of the Cowboys play thus far this season and their recent history in do or die games on the road than it is on how good I think the Redskins are. Washington is far from a great team but they're improving and playing good football at a time when you need to be playing your best football to make the playoffs plus RG3 has their team and fans excited.
Just look at how far Denver got last season with a QB like Tebow who's not even half the QB RG3 is. When a player can get a team and a fan base that excited it can carry them a long way. Confidence and believing you can win is a big part of being successful in Dec. Washington looks like a confident team who believes and the Cowboys look like a team that's just trying to hang on like they usually do this time of year.
