do you think is the most likely to happen.

Not saying it WILL happen. Rather asking which one you think has the best chance to happen.

1. Carolina loses at Atlanta.
2. Washington loses at Philadelphia.
3. NY loses at OAK and TB loses against NO.

Carolina losing.

Tampa Bay ain't losing anything. The Saints just want the season to end. I get the same feeling with the Eagles and the Skins, but I still have hope for that one because I'd rather have the game depend on Philly's defense instead of their offense, and Ramsey has been known to look shell shocked at times. Giants are going to smash the Raiders as Norv Turner never gets another chance at a head coach job.

I think Carolina losing to Alt is the best chance, but I would keep an eye on the skins vs eagles game as well. Skins on the road in Philly I don't think will be an easy game for them. Inter-divisional games are always a bit iffy especially when having to play on the road.

I dont like our chances either. I think our game will be meaningless. Let's hope I'm wrong but I never am.

Commanders choke, Eagles win with hope for next season. BTW, did you see the Falcons lose in OT. After that loss, they don't care anymore. Mike Vick is frustrated. Panthers are a little hungrier than Washed-up Commanders.

*Is it hungrier or more hungry?

How can you say the Panthers are more hungry than the Skins when Washington has been demolishing teams as of late, especially its NFC East rivals! :bang2:

Seriously, I think that the panthers have a chip on their shoulder and the Commanders are on easy street. They like people talking good about them. They might be over-confident.

I just don't see us getting in....Philly is beat up....and the skins are playing the best ball they have played in years.

Vick will play....but Atl will mail this one in.....Carolina needs to win to get in....this game IMHO wont even be close.

We blew our chances against the Gaints and Skins.....

What could be worse IMHO....is that we lay a egg playing the Rams when we have a shot at the playoffs...Bill will definetly retire if that happens.

I didn't want to say it but that definitely crossed my mind. If everyone loses, we control our own destiny, .......and we blow it against the Rams, I will be so sick.

If the win against the Rams is the only thing keeping us from the playoffs , we will win convincingly !!!

Ditto that. No way we lose if we get in with a win.

I see no way in the world the Skins losing, I think Philly will roll over....so hopefully one of these other scenarios will play out.

Skins could have some problems of their own with the QB situation even if Burnell tries to start this weekend he does so at less that full strength. As for Ramsey he has yet to show consistency in his game which is why he lost the job to start with. I think if Philly can hit some plays early in the game that will be enough to motivate them.

Things working in our favor:

Was at Phi - Ramsey may start and coul succumb to the pressure of a must win game

Car at Atl - We laid out the blueprint on how to beat Carolina, Patrick Kerney stripping delhomme of the ball, using a strong running game with Dunn and shadowing Smith with Hall

I think Hall is out for this game ...

That is what I read.

Staff Writer Jean-Jacques Taylor examines four scenarios in which the Cowboys can clinch a wild-card berth:

A win and a Carolina loss: The Falcons have won seven straight and nine of 10 at home against Carolina.

A win and a Washington loss or tie: The Eagles will play hard, but Mike McMahon at QB makes a win unlikely.

A win, Washington win, Tampa Bay loss, N.Y. Giants loss, Carolina loss, and Giants and Cowboys must beat Bucs in strength of victory: It's hard to picture Oakland and New Orleans, each of which has mailed it in, beating the Giants and Bucs, respectively.

A tie and Washington loss: The Cowboys haven't had a tie since 1969
