OK, here's how i think we stand for wild Card hopes, if the Cowboys win next week:

We will win the tie breaker against the Bears, Vikings and Giants. So the Giants are pretty much done. The Vikings play the Packers, so they could definitely lose. Bears play the Lions, which is not a gimme. Seahawks are beating the 49ers now, so they may be a lock. So, we'll probably NEED the Vikings and Bears to lose. Then we'll win on tie breakers (1st tie breaker, head-to-head record against the Vikings) (2nd tie breaker, Conference record over the bears)

What kind of mind set is that? We already beat the cowboys at their house....we will beat the cowboys again....this is the mindset we should have not ifs.....

Anybody a little nervous for this week? I loved that RG3 showed that he can win while being a "pocket" passer, we need him to be an effective run threat to help keep the LBs honest. I am not saying that we have to run the option a lot, but today they didn't run one play out of the option.

Dez Bryant is going to get his yards, we all know that. He had 125 in the first game, we just need to force turnovers and "bend not break" on D. I like how we leaned on the back on Alfred today in the 2nd half. Wear down the D, then hit the PA deep ball!

I say Skins win a close one - 31-27

Well, now that they changed the schedule to make Cowboys vs Redskins the evening game, they will know when they take the field whether they are in or whether it is a must win game.

I am disappointed about the schedule change because I am in Europe. Instead of watching at 7:00 p.m., I will need to either stay up all night or go to bed early and get up at 2:30 a.m. :cry: But it's Cowboys and Redskins for the playoffs, so I cannot complain too much. :lol:

Not for division champion. If you think about it, it makes sense you'd use division record for division champion since it's at the division level after overall record and head to head, but you would use conference record for wild-card which is at the conference level. For division champ conference record isn't fourth either, common opponents is fourth.

Sorry the Skins are doing well, screws up your schtick, doesn't it?

I can appreciate the sentiment, but I think it's good to know what all the scenarios are. It's not conceding anything to the Cowboys to ask about it.

This is why DHall should have run that ball in the end zone the first time we played them. No big deal. We have to win.

That would have had absolutely no impact on this game or our playoff chances.
SPIT HAPPENS!!
