OT: 2016 Redskins Part XII: We don't need no stinkin' kicker SEAN MCVAY HIRED BY RAMS

[Caps Circle]

I'm not a fan of this sport (even though I know rules, strategies and son on... and I was a king on "Madden NFL 10" ). But I've watched the last 5 minutes, to warm up before Caps and was pleased to see a Washington team beat a Phily team

Do the Redskins have any chance to go in the postseason? Do the schedule favor them?

On paper, yes. Next week we play Carolina at home, which before the season looked like a terrible matchup, but with Carolina struggling it's one of those games you have to win.

Week after is Chicago which is abjectly terrible. Lose that and you don't deserve the playoffs.

Week 17 is against the Giants in what could be a very important game. Toughest matchup left, but we beat them on the road already, so we should win.

Additionally, Tampa Bay and the Giants have terrible schedules coming up. If the Cowboys win tonight, the Giants are only half a game ahead of us, and Tampa Bay plays Dallas next (?) week.

Thanks for the answers.

And who knows, even if the defense is bad, in PO, in one game all can happen. It's not like the NHL when you need 4 games to win a series.

Like in soccer (World Cup, European Championship). We've seen through years a lot of time when the underdog beats the favorite in one game.

Recent redskins playoffs have them going up big early and defense no able to make a stop

Funny video:



Skins should look into signing a couple of these mascots for the D.

Hail!!!!

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

SEA and NO not helping the cause, so far.

This game should make it clear it's time to move on from Barry. Third and fourth down woes have been to much. As well as terrible starts. Kerrigan saved his job until season's end I think

Whether Barry should be fired or not isn't the question. Its how to replace 8 of 11 starters on defense.

Can't build a new one in a offseason, at best you can hope for 2-3 starters in draft and 1-2 FA.

Saint have the ball and the length of the field to go with 2min, one TO

do us a solid

 

[hockeykicker]

And saints lose....

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Skins may have to win out and cheer for Dallas over Tampa to get in

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

The tie vs Cinci may well doom us.

Honestly, if we win our next two, I think us and Tampa will make it as the wild card teams. The Giants have a brutal schedule right now, vs. DAL, @PHI, vs. DET. Seeing how the Eagles played today, they could give the Giants a fight. And Detroit is a good team. I have no confidence in them beating Dallas tonight.

Assuming the Giants lose this week, they and Tampa are half a game ahead of Washington. Next week, we host Carolina, Tampa visits Dallas, and the Giants visit Philly. Honestly, ours is probably the easiest matchup of those three. If we win and Tampa/New York lose, we control our destiny.

The way some of those kids get totally blown up by the mascots is a bit disturbing, but none are my kids so its still funny.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

So we are Dallas fans until the playoffs

It absolutely could. Just like it did in 1997.

99.99% sure the Giants win tonight.

Greeeeeeaat!!!

Someone on Reddit a few weeks ago said we should be rooting for Dallas to beat everyone and win 15 straight because they'd be beating some pretty good teams who are also fighting for wild card spots. I can't really bring myself to root for Dallas but hey, if it helps us, whatever. Before that damn Cardinals loss I thought we controlled our own destiny but that inexplicable loss to a TERRIBLE team really changed things. So go Cowboys until the playoffs.

They look really good against the Giants right now.
