Commanders in playoffs?

[ghst187]

Just posing for debate, obviously every one of us never want to see our team lose...

but if we do happen to lose to Detroit it will likely keep Washington out of the playoffs because it will guarantee Detroit at least a WC spot with the division title still hinging on the Det-GB matchup next week.
If we beat Detroit, Detroit HAS to beat GB (which I suspect is unlikely) while Wash will have to beat a NYG with NOTHING to play for (and likely to rest some folks) in DC.

Personally, I would MUCH rather see Detroit in the playoffs than Wash but can't stomach the thought of us losing.

So what do you guys think? Feels like tanking to Detroit would help us in the playoffs

I don't really care about the Skins, if they do happen to sneak into the playoffs they are one and done. They are not going to go on the road to Lambeau or Seattle in the first round and win, just not happening.

So don't worry, we will not be seeing the Skins come Divisional round.

Their most likely matchup is against Seattle in Seattle for the wild card round. Good luck with that one lol.

Wait Seattle is good now all of a sudden? Washington can beat Seattle I thought that was kind of obvious. Seattle is the most overrated team I've ever seen.

I think the safety injuries are a huge hit for them. Great players on the backend allows a lot more high-risk, high-reward up front.

 

[THEHEREAFTER]

Win our ******* game and let the chips fall where they may.

 

[fifaguy]

Best for us to go into the playoffs on a roll. If we wind up having to beat the Skins a 3rd time this year, so be it.

 

[haleyrules]

lol. The Commanders are in the Playoffs. Well, not for long!.

Agreed. Seattle is not the same team.

 

[TrailBlazer]

Skins aren't good. Do what we can to get them in the playoffs. Much rather face a devil we know.

Seattle at home in a January playoff game can be scary. I can't see the Commanders flying across the country and beating them.

The Cowboys would destroy the Commanders in a playoff game. I mean, Kirk Cousins...lol.

Every season, the Super Bowl contending test is beating any and all opponents leading up to the title game. Two teams will prove their worth. Ten teams won't. Regardless, FDR uttered famous words appropriate for fan anxiety.

I agree for this exact reason. "Boy, will their arms be tired!"

 

[Tom [Giants fan]]

There is a crazy scenario where the Commanders don't make the playoffs. If the Cowboys beat the Lions, the Commanders beat the Giants, and then the Packers and Lions tie Sunday Night, the Commanders don't make the playoffs. Unlikely? Yes.

 

[reddyuta]

I will be mighty pissed if we saved the skins season TWICE this year and lose to them in the playoffs.

 

[unionjack8]

you play to win the game

This.

 

[Chuck 54]

There are no "easy" games in the playoffs, no matter who the opponent, so I don't care who gets in or doesn't. Cowboys will just focus on themselves and prepare to be sharp.

 

[Toruk_Makto]

I'd prefer the Commanders make the playoffs and have worst draft positioning for next year.

Long con.
