I want the Skins out as soon as possible. I like the matchup with them and with ATL the least of all the playoff combinations out there in the NFC.
Best case scenario.

#1 Dallas
#2 Seattle
#3 Atlanta
#4 Detroit
#5 Giants
#6 Washington

Rd 1.
#3 Atlanta beats #6 Washington
#4 Detroit beats #5 Giants

Rd 2.
#1 Dallas beats #4 Detroit
#2 Seattle beats #3 Atlanta

If Seattle wins, that eliminates both of the horrible match-ups without having to step on the field with them and Seattle playing the Cowboys on the road in a hostile environment where they are historically a much, much lesser team.

Wow. That could likely happen, huh? Let's hope the Stealers and we both beat the Giants, and that, if we have to lose a game from here on out, it's against DET. I'd love that route to the big game.

Theres other possible ways it could go to avoid both as well, but that's the easiest/most likely path to do so.

I don't want to play the Skins again, they are a horrible matchup for our defense. They are one of the few teams that can put 30 on us with no problem. I really don't want to go into a playoff game knowing my offense has to put up 31 points at a minimum, especially with a rookie QB and a rookie HB.

Would rather play Tampa.

I have no respect for the Eagles and their fans going back to Buddy Ryan. I have always hated the Commanders the most because I respected them more because they were the traditional rivalry, but besides winning the East a few times the last few years they haven't been that relevant. Don't care for the Giants either because they seem to be more lucky than good. I have to admit I was rooting for them against the 17-0 Patriots..

Hate Eagles the most, absolutely no class
Commanders second
Giants third

Of course this is all dependant on the week and which one we are playing.

Yea, I hate the Giants the least out of our division rivals also..........like you said, they tend to be more lucky than good. Romo throws a ball that bounces off Witten's foot and right into the hands of a Giant defender, or Ellie closes his eyes and just chunks the ball up for grabs and one of his receivers makes a circus catch.

I have never seen a team get more fluke plays than the Giants do.

I would too. Though Tampa looks pretty good after knocking off two contenders in succession. DET looks like an interesting team to play this year, too. A lot of fun options out there.

I'm not worried about the rookie QB. I am worried about the rookie RB. I absolutely hate how little relief we are giving him. There are other capable RBs on this team....and Dallas needs Zeke fresh for the playoffs. Our running game controls the way we play. If it is not clicking...our margin for error becomes very thin. Our running game protects our defense against teams with high powered offenses. I think we are playing with fools gold to think a rookie RB...albeit a great one.....can carry a team to the Super Bowl....at 21 years old. Morris and/or McFadden need to pitch in so Zeke can wear teams down in the 4th quarter come January. People just look at the carries. They are not considering how often he is taking hits in pass protection....plus catches out of the backfield.

I'm infinitely more concerned with the Dallas Cowboys continuing their winning ways than I am with other teams losing. It matters not who loses as long as we keep chalking up the "W's." Our competitors can "eat cake" as far as I'm concerned. As long as we take care of business, we're golden and they're simply there to fend for themselves. Sounds cold, I suppose, but that's life in the NFL. As always, it's a struggle to become the best. ;)

I need the eagles to be eliminated ASAP and a skins win and eagles lose to the Bungals would be almost a done deal for the eagles funeral services. Plus we all know the skins won't be losing to the cards anyway because they stink

The bucs have a better chance of losing to San Diego which would clinch a playoff berth for the Boys anyway so we don't even need to focus on the skins game.

If the Commanders make the playoffs they will most likely be the 6th seed which at this point means we would have to play them at some point. I dont want to play the Commanders again!

Well I see no scenario where they don't make the playoffs so we have to just be ready

I'm kinda scared of TB, too, to be honest. They have a pretty solid squad.

But I agree with the consensus that WSH and ATL are our worse matchups, due to their pure vertical attack.

Sill, TB airs it out quite a bit, too. Playoffs will be fun and a test no matter who we face.
