Playoff scenario...

[Larry Gude]

I freely admit that this is rediculous BUT...

This weekend:

If the Bucs beat the Cats (very possible)

and

Bengals (more cats) beat the Giants (good chance)

and

The Birds (Falcons) beat the Saints (50-50)

and

The Birds (Eagles) beat the Rams (toss up)

and

The Skins beat the Boys (100% stone cold lock)

and then...

The Skins beat the Vikes in two weeks (101% gimme)

THEN

The Washington Redskins will go to the playoffs.

The paper says so. After this weekend the Skins could hold their future in their hands. UFB. That would make the Vike game in essense, a playoff game.

Care to guess who has tix?

Stay tuned true believers!

And then they sang...

HAIL, TO THE REDSKINS!!!!!!!!!!!

It most certainly can happen... Now when all of this does happen and they say we are in the playoffs are they saying it's a wildcard spot or the actual playoffs :shrug:

:dur: Only two categories make the playoffs, division winners and wildcard teams. Since Philly has locked the division the 'Skins are in, what, if anything, do you think they would end up with?

well of course :dur: everyone keeps saying we can be in the playoffs... wouldn't the wild card games come first (not playoffs) and then if we win THAT we can then make it into the playoffs l

From Kornheiser's December 6 column:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A41353-2004Dec6.html

While I have your attention, let me state unequivocally that the following is an example of wishful thinking that I don't want to read or hear in the coming week: "You know, the way the Redskins played against the Giants, if they can do that against the Eagles on Sunday night, they can beat the Eagles, and that would put them at 5-8, and you know the NFC is brutally weak, and since the Redskins own tiebreakers against Tampa Bay, Chicago and Detroit, it's possible that they could go 8-8 and get into the play . . . " Stop it! Stop it! Don't even think it. I beg you, do not mention "Redskins" and "playoffs" together. No, no, 1,000 times no. See comment above on flying pigs. Thank you. Now back to Les Boulez...

No, playoffs start after the regular season is over. Usually two division winners play two wildcard teams in the first round in each league with the remaining two division winners receiving a bye. The following week the winners play the bye teams and those playoff games lead to the league championship followed by the Super Bowl. They are all playoff games leading up to the Super Bowl as the loser goes home, hence the term playoff.

Well I guess the term playoffs is used loosely... I had always broken them down to the following

regular season
wildcard games
playoff games
championship games
superbowl
:shrug:

:semantics:

Here is the tekkie breakdown:
Wild Card - 4 Games
Divisional Playoffs - 4 Games
Conference Championships - 2 Games
and of course
Super Bowl XXXIX....

That's what I posted and was kramed with red stating I was an idiot :shrug: technically we are not in the playoffs if the scenario were to play out... we'd be in the wildcard game and then if we won we'd be in the playoffs... This was just like arguing the Ramsey v. Brunnell issue earlier in the year where I was told I was wrong to go with Ramsey... now I'm wondering how many of the same folks wish we had listened to my advise and used Ramsey earlier in the season as I suggested:shrug:

 

[Otter]

Dems...any games BEYOND the regular season are the playoffs.
