Reality Check (Warning... Positive Post)

That Cleveland game is not an automatic win for the skins.

Great post. The division is wide open. Let's watch & see what happens from here on out. Hopefully it all falls in the Cowboys favor.

Bengals, Steelers, Saints and Skins.

BUT...I think we can outscore those teams too. Whatever, at least we're still in it and playing for something. It's gonna be fun to watch.

saints game worries me the most for that exact reason.

I agree. Cleveland plays tough. They just tend to not come out on top

We really need Ratliff back this week!! Ryan needs to just throw Brent-Ratliff out there on 1st & 2nd down, plus Carr/MO/Jenkins/Sensabaugh/McCray MUST step up and start making plays on the football

I am glad ravens lost this weekend coz that means they gonna play hard to make sure they get that 2nd spot in the AFC...

I am predicting (and hoping) skins will lose to ravens and browns...

Here is how it is going to play out: The Giants will implode. The division will come down to us vs. the Stinks at FEDEX on the last game of the season. We all know how well we do in those situations. Its a blowout waiting to happen and not in our favor. We all wished for a Stinks victory and we got it. They are now about to steal the division right out from under us, watch. It simply has to end this way. This is of course my PTSD from 2008 talking......

It's time to see what this team is made of... Every team has injuries this time of the year. No excuses!

Not every team is starting multiple guys off the street. At some point its no longer an excuse and just reality.

Or it could be like 2011. Get down big, make a furious comeback in the 4th, then defense collapses and we fall short. We always seem to be in these "last game of the season" situations.

I think maybe the chips may be falling in our favor, at least in terms of getting some help.

So here is how this is setting up.

We play the Bengals next week and it is a winnable game. Not easily but winnable.

The Giants play the Saints at home. The way the Giants played tonight the Saints can take them.

The Skins play the Ravens. Ravens are tough so this time next week, we could be in a three way tie for the division with the skins having the tie breaker edge for now.

By the time we play our next game the Skins will have played the Browns (Worried that the Browns won't win but they could) and the Giants will have played at the Falcons. I think the Falcons will win.

[View Full Quote]The Steeler game could give us the lead IF we win.

It all comes down to if we have the team that can catch lightning in a bottle or will we be the same old same old.

Our last two games are the Saints and the Skins. We will need to play the best ball of the year but with some help along the way from other teams we might...just might sneak into the tournament.

I stopped after " Warning....positive post"

Just kidding. Hope we can put something together here. We just have to take care of business.

[dallasfan4lizife]

anything is possible.

my only hope is romo.

I just wish him a super bowl run so he can retire with the credit he deserves.

I'm thinking they'll finish 9-7 and lose a tie-breaker with the seahawks

[CowboyMcCoy]

Good post. I'm crossing my fingers and holding my breath, buddy.

If we play like yesterday and the Deadskins play like they played tonight, I don't see us beating them in cold January weather in Washington.

Its not like its Lambeau Field.

But yeah, hard to see a win in that scenario.
