You might be right on that. The Seahawks' last three games are tougher than I thought. They should beat the Bills, but that is an away game and probably cold weather. Then they have the 49ers and Rams.

They'll drop 2/3. Book it.

I'll be back to you on this - TRUST ME

if the Chawks don't win all 3 they win 2 at worst

we'll see - I'm not saying they win the NFC west but it would not surprise me

Side Note: I hope that the coaching staff understands how good Santana Moss is and how we need him this year and until his wheels fall off (or just before that). He's an important leader in this WR group and is very productive in the slot.

I hope he reminds Shanahan of guys like Rod Smith and Ed McCaffery who were important veterans among a young WR corps.

I don't really see us paying much attention to WR in the offseason. I think they'll watch Garcon heal, have seen enough from Josh when targeted late this season to be fine with developing him in the offense, will watch Fred come back from injury[and sign him on the cheap after suspension + season lost to injury], probably think they've seen enough from Hanktime to let him develop a bit more, look at the big play ability from Robinson, and factor in Bob's development from year one to two. . . I think 'Tana is in a much safer position going into next year than he was coming into this, for sure. Never mind his actual production this year.

Oh and I think Banks is probably gone. I don't have nearly as strong a feeling one way or the other on him as others do, but if he ain't returning kicks, pierre is healthy[meaning he can get back in the pistol or triple option spot banks occupied when run], they stop running as much of those two formations, and he isn't punt returning, what is his use?

With us strapped for cash and no 1st rounders, I'd expect us to sit tight at WR. It typically takes a few years for younger WR's to develop. I think Hank deserves another year to mature. Hopefully Josh Morgan can continue to be healthy and improve. It's a no brainer to bring Moss back.

Where we may upgrade the passing game is at the TE position. Do we resign Fred? Can we find Griffin a 6 foot, 6 inches tall TE that can jump out the gym?

If we dont change a thing, the biggest upgrade we can give the wide receivers corps is improve offensive line blocking.

To get back on topic, I'm proud of this team regardless of the outcome. I believe that both the Bears and Giants will lose this week. It's going to get very interesting. We have to win and keep RGIII healthy.

Im heading to Cleveland this week see this game. We can beat Cleveland, with or without RGIII

The game this week is in Toronto ... NOT at the Bill's place

they could lose to both the Bills and 49ers but I think that they go 3-0

that's a tough defense to face at home

I also agree that all this team needs to do this week is not make silly mistakes with bad penalties and end up with a healthy RG3

competing for a playoff spot like this is VERY different

I would also like to echo the sentiments ... this team has shown a lot of fortitude the past 4 games and no matter what happens in the next 3 games ...

WE ARE playing meaningful games in December again

GOTTA LOVE IT

How GREAT would it be for this franchise to win the NFC East - AMAZING

AND

It would be such a great letdown for the low life scum, NY giants AND their fans, to miss out on the playoffs

Yeah I saw that. But its still an away game in a cold place and a looong flight for Seattle. I think they'll beat the Bills, but those things could factor in. You could be right about them going 3-0, wouldn't surprise me. The 49ers and Rams won't be easy wins.

Good post. He's come up big for us this year.

Well, for the first time in 5 years we're guaranteed to not finish last in the East

One thing's for sure - the Shehawks won't be getting 10 false starts and 8 sacks due to crowd noise.

Seahawks will lose 2. Mark it down.

Here's the order of importance for what we want (most important on top; doesn't include us winning):

NYG (8-5) @ ATL
PIT @ DAL (7-6)
GB @ CHI (8-5)
SEA (8-5) @ BUF
MIN (7-6) @ STL (6-6-1)
TB (6-7) @ NO

all I really WANT is for the Redskins to win this game

my picks are:

Falcons
Steelers
Bills
Packers
Rams
Saints
Ravens
49ers

Damn right y'all want the Steelers to win!

Duly marked. Let's synchronize watches. I've got 11:36.

Just don't expect us to make a habit of it...

Well we owe you guys for the hurting you guys put on the Ravens.

How great would it be for us to be at the top of the NFC East tomorrow night?

Why wait until then? How about 4:30?

Well, now it's simple. Win out, we win the division. Also, if DAL loses this week and next, and NYG loses next week, we clinch the NFCE in week 16
