    The redskins have a leg up, as the second tie breaker is division records. They are 9-2 as Dallas and Carolina
    are 8-4. Needless to day must wins for everyone! Does anyone want to play the Redskins now?? Actually I
    would rather play Chicago or Seattle, rather than Wash or Carolina.

    Joe as usual you are drunk.

    You'd really rather go up to Chicago and play the bears in below zero temperatures? Delusional? And Seattle is next to impossible to beat...and let's not forget both Chi and Sea are going to get first round byes. Washington is the hottest team in the NFC right now, and Santana Moss, fresh off owning the Giants, is going to play a big part in the postseason. I'm just hoping the Bucs don't read the 13 point favorites they are over the Saints, and handle business to insure at least one home playoff game.

    WTF is it with Carolina and everybody thinking they are so good, they lost 3 out of their last 6 games.image Please explain to me why anyone wouldn't want to play them in the playoffs versus another team. This is not meant to be a slam on Carolina, just a question why you wouldn't want to face them.

    I got three words for ya..Delhomme. Foster and Smith...also Julius.

    Im sorry but Grossman, Jones and Mushin don't scare me. When Carolina is playing well they can blow you out. The bears had
    one of the worst teams in the league and got multiple ints from Favre and still couldn't blow them out! Grossman is even
    supposed to be way better now.

    Seattle is tough at home, but the bucs are tougher on the road, plus we have the playoff experience, has Seattle even won one playoff
    game??

    There are only two teams with playoff experience in the race right now, and they both play in the NFC South

    From an article on nfl.com...........

    "Usually 10 wins is the magic number. Since the playoffs were expanded to six teams in each conference in 1990, the only three teams with at least 10 wins that failed to make it were the 49ers and Eagles in 1991, and the Miami Dolphins in 2003. "

    So there has been one time when there were 5 teams with 10 wins and only three spots left, leaving 2 ten win teams out of the playoffs. 1991.

    Makes for some exciting football though, doesn't it?
