Nope, Home field, 1st rd bye, NFC East all wrapped up but they'll keep their foot on the gas
just b/c they need to

That is what we are hoping for, but is it more beneficial to rest players than to risk injury? IMO, three weeks of rest is a bad idea and could hinder your mojo going into the playoffs with losses.

What you are hoping for? is Dallas wins so your final game against the
Giants is as meaningless as tonight's game for Dallas

NYFINESTSKINSFAN wrote:but is it more beneficial to rest players than to risk injury?

The educated guesser would say yes...it is more beneficial to rest guys, however that is not going
to happen Dallas wants full momentum going into the playoffs

That is why? they aren't going to rest anyone see second quoted post response

The above however doesn't bar the fact that Detroit tonight is fighting for their playoff lives,
and that the Lions have a real chance at winning, Not b/c Dallas threw the game to screw
you over!! but b/c they need this game more than the Cowboys

Three weeks of rest means four weeks between games. No team is going to do that. Look for the Pies starters to play at least a half, then Romo and the rest will take over.

Dallas's defense looks worse than the Skins D.

How did that prediction work out for you?

In the beginning yes the defense looked terrible, as the game progressed along?
it was lights out

Well, EVERYTHING broke our way this week. We won, and TB & DET both lost. Now, we win and we're in (unless GB-DET ends in a tie).

Who else is half expecting GB-DET to end it a tie after we (presumably) win against the Giants?

If GB and Detroit ends in a tie, are they both in the playoffs? That could result in some collusion.

Yes, but I doubt they would collude, being as they are divisional rivals. That would be akin to us colluding with the Ginas for us to win so we both make the playoffs.

I believe they are playing for a division title and a home playoff game.

Detroit can still get the 2nd seed with a win, an ATL loss, and a SEA loss or tie.

Even TB can still make the playoffs if:

TB wins
WAS ties
GB loses
TEN, IND, DAL, and SF all win

TexasCowboy · Post by **TexasCowboy** » Tue Dec 27, 2016 3:55 pm

Kinda asking for a miracle that won't happen if you ask me...Need to beat a red hot GB team,
then need Atlanta and Seattle to lose, they'll be lucky to be the 6th seed when it's all said an
done

We are now at 58% to get in.

I think the short week against the Bears helped us.

Thought this was a really bizarre fact from Tandler yesterday. I've been doing a lot of complaining about the state of the defense but:

Five of the top six teams in total defense will miss the playoffs.

If the #Redskins make the playoffs, five of the bottom 10 teams in the NFL in total defense will be playing on: WAS, MIA, OAK, KC, ATL

Weird, huh? Guess if your defense sucks, you'd better have a s*** hot offense.

we are lucky that we have a REALLY s*** hot offense, led by a QB that at least 1 fan thinks is THE BEST REDSKIN IN DECADES

our defense has been a major disappointment but this will be taken care of soon - 2 years ago we all felt our O line was a disaster, now it's a strength - we are very lucky to be where we are - hopefully, win or lose on Sunday, the idiot owner keeps all these guys here

Maybe. The thing about the o-line though is that we invested in fixing it through the draft the past couple years. I don't have a lot of hope for any immediate relief on the defense.

Agree with you though that we're lucky to be where we are right now. These guys have done more with the team over the past three years more quickly than I thought was possible.

2014 was horrendous - the past 2 seasons have seen a huge upgrade with our O line

the same can happen on defense with just a few player additions under the same DC
