One, perhaps, but not both.

I feel bad for the Redskins. Tough to get up for this game after what they have gone thru in the past 5 days. If they beat the Bears it will be a great win for them and a bitter loss for the Bears.
And 74,000,000 households that won't see it.

I have my fingers crossed the Greg Olsen can have a somewhat decent game. not bloody likely.

I expect a ball control type game with emotions high from playoff implications and the Sean Taylor factor is still in effect.
Randy Thomas back should solidify the O-Line and allow the Skins to run at will.
Skins edge the Bears in a low scoring affair 17 - 10

This is a realistic scenario, though the outcome is far from certain. I'm concerned about the 'Skins' last loss lingering with them given that that greatly reduced their already slim playoff hopes. There apparently have also been some grumblings about Gibbs' game management and play-calling by some unnamed players.

It's not guaranteed, but would be pretty likely. They currently trail Arizona, Detroit, and Minnesota. They've already beat Arizona and Detroit and they'd beat Minnesota if they were to finish the season 4-0. So, as long as Arizona and Detroit lose at least one more game (likely), they'd be in over any of those teams.So, I think 9-7 gets them in. However, getting to 9-7 is a whole different story.

Ok, I hadn't actually done the math. Hopefully they can win and get a boost from Thomas' return. This short week couldn't have been at a worse time though.

Straight up my allegiance is with Chicago and Portis is on my fantasy team. I don't think either team is good enough to make the playoffs. Washington was a borderline playoff team at the beginning of the season but has suffered too many injuries and blew too many close games. Next year is looking up for the Skins. Chicago management spent the offseason smoking their crackpipe telling themselves they should have won the Super Bowl. Instead they should have realized flukey Chicago had little business being in the playoffs let alone Superbowl and should have been actively pursuing a couple of missing pieces. All told the long rebuild/hibernation has already begun as management accomplished ZERO this year except watch everyone get one year of futility older. It kills me to say this but without drastic free agent chasing in the offseason the Bears are done for the next 3 - 5 years.
By the way I predict 24 - 17 Washington. Since I have Portis I expect Cooley to get 2 goalline TD's and the Washington D will return a Grossman pick for the 3rd TD.

So we keep saying year after year after year....

It's time for the Cable company monopolies to end. I'll bet if there were competition everyone would have it.

They should not be 5-7 right now, but it's their own damn fault.

It's gameday, so I prefer to positive right now. (Plenty of time for negative thinking tomorrow.)Yes, Philly and Dallas had success deep with Taylor out. But, TB and Buffalo didn't have nearly has much success downfield, other than Buffalo's big gain on the last drive.Again, just trying to be positive on gameday. C'mon, man, 6 more hours until kickoff.
Man, I hope Buster is right. What I'm expecting/hoping to see; Washington able to just pound the ball down the Bears throat, while Chicago can go up top and mid/deep all night to counter. I'd really like to see this game NOT be a snore fest. Where's that Grossman/Berrian connection that was so deadly those first 5 games last year? Just a matter of Lovie finally saying, "F' it...we're either going to score a ton of pts...or lose." If you DON'T see Grossman and the Bears come out firing downfield...this is an EASY win for the 'Skins.Edit: Mod, can you merge this and the TNF Poll/thread? Thanks.

I'm going to pick up a lottery ticket! Final score 24 - 16 Washington. Too bad I'm a Bears fan.
