How do our playoff chances look no after the lost to the Bucs.


Still good if you ask me.

I agree. If we can beat Dallas at home then we hold a one game edge over them having beat them twice. If we beat the Giants at home we are tied with them. We have the easiest schedule of any NFC East team over the last seven games particularly as we have the Rams, Cards, and Raiders three of the next four weeks. We're still right in this thing. We must beat the teams we should beat and win the home division games and we're in without a doubt. I'm just worried that we're now 2-4 over our last six games.

with mcnabb hurting, and the eagles looking dubious for the playoffs, we may have a shot of winning in philly, which could mean an nfc east title. gotta beat the giants and dallas at home first.

Forget the playoffs. Just win the next game.

I agree, one at a time.
I think everyone is calming down a bit but wow, that Tampa loss was hard to shake off. But Gibbs didnt help any saying he had evidence the officials missed 4 calls - we knew it anyway but he could've kept it to himself!
They almost have to go 5-2, better 6-1.

To make the playoffs from this point, they have to play some smart football. They need to be on the POSITIVE side of the turnover margin. We need to beat the teams we're capable of beating (which is ALMOST everyone we're playing for the rest of the season).
It's going to be tough but we're capable of doing it. I'm not too optimistic about the postseason yet, let's just take it week by week.
The Raiders are not that good of a team. Although they do mave RMoss, we should DEFINITELY capitalize. We need to beat them and keep the team morale up.

Forget the turnover margin ever being on the positive side. We need to be on the positive side of the points total at the end of each game!!!! I don't believe we'll create enough turnovers between now and the end of the season to overcome the rut we create ourselves with our turnovers, but we will most certainly be one of, if not THE, first team to make it to the playoffs with a negative turover differential. Mark my words.

Yeah im scared of the raiders we play down to worse teams. I agree, turnovers done matter as long as we win the game we have to put teams away.

You mean like the way we played down to the 49ers, the only team we have played with a losing record?

Raiders are a dangerous team simply because they have the ability to pop a big play here and there.

I agree... the skins are 2-4 their last 6 games... that's bad. let's worry about winning sunday and then winning the next sunday and then the following sunday. If the skins play well they will make the playoffs if not they wont. simple as that.. i dont want to see this team back into anything... let's beat nervous norville and then worry about san diego... the playoffs will work themselves out.

I meant stay on the positive side of the turnover margin in the individuals games. You're definitely right, we have created too deep of a hole to get on the positive side of the margin for the whole season.

I think we will make the playoffs, but first lets beat Oakland and just take it a game at a time, If we cut out the turnovers and play like were capable the Skins will be fine

I'd say 60/40 are our chances.....
