I'm still bitter about 2007.

In this morning's post about NFC East playoff scenarios, I did not mention the possibility that any of our division's teams might actually be able to clinch anything in Week 16. But we all mull this stuff over and look at all kinds of scenarios all day, just like you guys do. We even use the Playoff Machine. And as we do that, new information and possibilities come to light.
So I'm here to fill you in, with the help of ESPN Stats & Information, on the chances that the Washington Redskins or the New York Giants could clinch playoff spots this week.
The Giants clinch a playoff spot this week if they win and the Cowboys, Redskins, Vikings and Bears all lose. This is because, even though a Week 17 loss by the Giants would cost them the tiebreaker against the Cowboys-Redskins winner for the division title, they'd win tiebreakers over any combination of the Seahawks, Vikings and Bears in the wild-card race.
The Redskins clinch a playoff spot this week if they win and the Giants, Vikings and Bears all lose. That's because, even if they lost to the Cowboys in Week 17 and failed to win the division, they'd win wild-card tiebreakers over any combination of the Seahawks, Giants, Vikings and Bears.
One other note: According to NFL.com, via The Newark Star-Ledger, the Giants could actually be eliminated from playoff contention this week. Here it is.
The Giants are eliminated from playoff contention if they lose, the Redskins and Cowboys win and the Seahawks win or tie. This is because a Giants loss would mean they can win no more than nine games, whereas the Seahawks would have 10 (or nine and a tie) and the winner of the Week 17 Redskins-Cowboys game would be guaranteed to have at least 10.
So, a little bit on the line for the Giants this week, it would seem!

Plus, it would send Mara home to cry about a well-deserved failure of a season.
I think I will be cheering for that to happen almost as much as having the Skins clinch this week.

Only a playoff spot...we own all tie breakers within the division...

If they win/we lose this weekend and we beat them the following weekend...plus the Gints lose...that puts us in the Division lead and the playoffs rather than the Pokes. Right? Dallas can't clinch anything with a win & us losing this weekend. They won't beat out Seattle for a wildcard spot either. I believe one team is coming out of the NFC East -- the division winner.
Am I wrong?

That is how I understand it.

Would love to see the G-men eliminated this weekend.

Does anybody know when was the last time that we swept both of those teams? I hate to sound like a negative ninny, but it must quite a while

That can't be right. If that happens, but we turn around and beat them in the last game, we'd have the same overall record, we'd be 1-1 against them and we would have a better division record.

ey TDs in the first half. Beating a surging Giants team at home to get to 9-6. Sean Taylor's fumble return to seal the Eagles game and take us to the playoffs, and then doing it again in our win over Tampa Bay — which was great payback for that '99 loss.

Not as much history against us as I thought. It's a long time since I had a feeling of positive expectation about the Redskins - I think I've forgotten how to deal with it.KazooSkinsFan wrote:Deadskins wrote:Also, the Pies clinch if they win and we and the G-strings both lose.

I already corrected myself a post or two later.
