We've beaten the four best NFC teams!

[hkHog]

So, look at who's leading the four NFC divisions right now:

East: Giants
South: Tampa Bay
North: Chicago
West: Seattle

We've beaten each of those teams this year (everyone knows Alstott never made it). I'm not scared of anyone in the NFC except Philly next week. You know they would love to knock us out.

[skins2357]

we didnt beat Tampa Bay even though through my eyes and every Redskins fan's eyes the elbow wasnt in! But I totally agree with you, i think we can make a little run and after we beat philly next week and the giants lose to the raiders that playoff run will be at home!!

[air_hog]

Yeah, actually I'm not scared of one NFC team. I honestly think if we beat Philthy and NY loses to Oakland and we get the Division, and a home game, that we can seriously make a push to the Super Bowl.

But first we have to beat the Eagles.

One interesting stat on this:

Seattle is 10-1 vs. the NFC this season and Chicago is 9-1.


Think about that.

Not only that, our schedule has been brutal. In 10 of our 15 games, we have played teams with a winning record. For each week, here is the record of our opponents:

10-4 Bears
9-6 Cowboys
13-2 Seahawks
12-3 Broncos
9-6 Chiefs
3-12 49ers
10-5 Giants
6-9 Eagles
10-5 Buccaneers
4-11 Raiders
9-6 Chargers
5-10 Rams
5-10 Cardinals
9-6 Cowboys
10-5 Giants

124-99 Total

Who else has played such a difficulat schedule?

[JPFair]

Yep. Very good points. Who was the last team to beat Seattle?

Even some of our losses, we were close to winning. Though it's water under the bridge, I will forever be convinced that we should have won the Denver game, could have won the K.C. game, and were robbed of the Tampa Bay game. Think about it!! Those are three quality teams who are among the best. We came damn close to beating them ON THE ROAD!!

NOBODY, even members of the media, can say that this Redskins team, right now, is not a very good football team.

Think about that.

Yep, and we're 9-2 against NFC, 0-4 against AFC

[REDEEMEDSKIN]

Yep, and we're 9-2 against NFC, 0-4 against AFC

No worries. I predict we will end up 1-4 against the AFC this year.

But NFC wins count more for us anyway.

Good catch.

The media "experts" never seem to pay much attention to strength of schedule. They fall head over heels to proclaim Indianapolis and Seattle the two elite teams in the NFL. But if you add up the totals for Indianapolis, the total is 103-119 and for Seattle it's 98-127.

The thought of being able to play Tennessee and Houston twice, or Arizona St. Louis and San Francisco twice is enough to make my mouth water. Indianapolis and Seattle are way overrated IMHO.

And San Diego deserves to be in the playoffs.

[washington53]

i think we can easily make a run after the philly game. I mean other than seattle, the NFC is up for grabs. and if u stop alexander, which we somehwat did, u can beat them.

[Chris Luva Luva]

They better watch out if we make the playoffs. We're a dangerous team and the only one that worries me 100% are the Colts.

[DESkins]

And even the Colts are not as hot right now going into the last week of the season. Okay, so they rested their star players after the first quarter this weekend, but even then, they weren't lighting up the board. The Redskins are on a 4-0 streak right now, with one game left before the playoffs. I think we're gonna surprise some people, and I kinda hope that the media pundits continue to shower the Redskins with the same lack of respect that they have been giving all season. Wouldn't it be nice to surprise everyone in the Super Bowl, a la the 1987 Redskins, who were supposed to lose a lopsided game to John Elway and the Three Amigos?
