Thus team looks good. I think they can make a splash in the playoffs.

Congratulations on the division win!
Can't say I thought the Redskins would show much this year, let alone finish first.

This feels really weird. I should be ecstatic right now but I'm having a hard time completely wrapping my head around the fact that we are actually in the playoffs.
Now think about the fact that they look like a dangerous team to play at home.

So who is going to the game? im nervous because the last one i went to poorly with the whole rg3 injury and all.....

Back in 2013, Jon Gruden said If he was a coach, he'd trade a first rounder for Cousins (this was before any RGIII drama). I wonder if he had any influence on his brothers handling on the QB situation in Washington.

When they placed him on the Designated to Return list we all thought it was hilarious....now looks like a sharp move.

Every NFL team allows season ticket holders to reserve playoff tickets before the season starts. They don't charge your credit card until they actuall go on sale, so I thought "
sure why not". So I guess my card will be charged soon. I went in 2012 with one of my sons, so it might be my wife and daughter this time. Although, I'm sure my wife will be ok if I go. I hate Seattle.

One of my favorite playoff memories. Back when we played tampa bay in the playoffs in 2006. Someone leaked the access code the season ticketholders were given to the redskins message board. So was able to get tickets for face value. The stadium was literally 50% redskins fans.Every NFL team allows season ticket holders to reserve playoff tickets before the season starts.

Scott McCloughan has been the best move this organization has made in a really long time.
Wait, you need to reserve your tickets before the season?

Wow, great victory tonight!
The only negative to me was that boneheaded "kneel down" at the end of the first half. But, as I much as I was dismayed by that, I was equally impressed that Cousins and the team shook it off and played a good second half. They were NOT doing that before (think about how they handled adversity vs. Carolina). The team is growing in confidence every week and are really fun to watch right now.
Ditto above on the Pierre Thomas signing. On that one drive he was very, very instrumental chewing clock and getting first downs. Scot McC deserves big props for a crafty signing.
Preston Smith 3 Sacks...what!
Kirk Cousins -- 4 TDs, 365 yards, no INTs...what can you say...he's either getting paid big or franchised...but a good problem to have.
Jordan Reed -- continues to be a beast.
Great win!

ok ok. So are we locked into playing Seattle? What are the scenarios and who are we rooting for today?

Wow. What a roller coaster season. During August might have been my lowest point of my entire fandom. The team looked to be making the same embarrassing headlines with the Gruden/Griffin soap opera. The team looked completely inept in the preseason. I wasn't sold on Cousins. The season started and we couldn't string 2 decent games together and Cousins was his usual inconsistent self. I was still thinking that the whole thing needed to be blown up. Then the Bucs game happened. Something clicked in Kirk when his back was against the wall. I'm almost sure he'd have been benched had he not come out on fire for that comeback. After that the team showed flashes of brilliance and followed them up with turds. Still couldn't win on the road and still couldn't string two wins together. But when they beat the Giants I thought this team really should take this crappy division. Then they follow it up with the MNF debacle vs. the Cowboys. After that game, who could have imagined that they could actually win the division AND rest their starters in week 17?? This team and specifically Kirk have won me over. What an amazing run he's had. The redskins are finally fun to watch again. HTTR and yes, I do like that.

I'm stunned. Really LOVE the way the offense has come around, even with the lack of run game. Thought Morris looked good towards the end as the Eagles wore down. Reminded me of games past when the skins wouldn't always find success early, but would wear out opposing defenses as the game wore on and Morris would go off in the second half. But I fully admit, the defense still worries me. We all all hyped about Cousins and rightfully so. But lost in it all was how bad the defense looked at times. They will be the key. They are the group that needs to step it up if the skins are to get out of round one.
Kirk Cousins kept composure after “debacle” at end of first halfhttp://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/12/27/kirk-cousins-kept-composure-after-debacle-at-end-of-first-half/
To me, this is a significant aspect of Cousins' -- and the teams' -- development.

The other thing about that first have play, is, everyone is saying it was a boneheaded play by Cousins. But why in blue blazes did Gruden even call a dang play. THE CLOCK WAS STOPPED at 5 seconds Gruden should have sent the field goal unit in and never put Cousins in that position. I read a quote from Gruden where he said, "I don't know why he didn't spike it." Well, Jay I don't know why you called a play!MikeApf said:

Yup. Dumb all around. And why are they so insistent in throwing the fade to Garcon? Throw damn ball to Reed in the Redzone.

Yea i put that on the coach primarily and cousins secondary. Coach cant allow those situations to happen. I hate how Gruden doesnt take responsibility for these things. Just say its my fault and move on.

the clock wasnt stopped, it was on hold while they reset the ball after the penalty, since it was a deadball foul it wont stop the clock but it will pause it while they respot the ball, then the clock resumes running on the refs signal.
it was completely a bonehead play by cousins, you see him try to spike it right after he took the knee when he realized what he did.

Not sure if that was my only chance and that I needed to do it, but it was offered. I got an email before the season started saying the NFL was making every team make this offer to season ticket holders.Wait, you need to reserve your tickets before the season?

Congrats, 'skins fans! Great year by Cousins, definitely exceeded expectations.

Great win last night for the Skins. Cousins and Gruden have both surpassed my low expectations and earned the right to be the QB and coach of this team going forward.
Really sucks though when you are in your championship game and your opponent starts Cousins and Reed...... :X

That's a pretty damn good summary of the season. The only thing I'd add to it is the number of injuries they've overcome. It seems like every other game I'd be asking "who is that guy? about someone in a Skins uniform who made a play. Jarrett and Dunbar in the secondary? Mason Foster?
"Who are those guys?"

I don't know about you, but I'd take the Lions clinching a division title all day long. Winning a few hundred bucks playing magic football isn't a game changer. Can't replace or put a price on the memory of your team winning a big game.

McCloughan really knows what the #### he is doing. How many times has a player we've never heard of, or we didn't know was on the team, stepped in and done something big? A lot more this season than any other season I remember.
Pierre Thomas was a big part of grinding the Eagles down in the second half last night. You could just feel the Eagles gradually giving up hope.

I'm still euphoric from last night's result, and having trouble posting anything coherent this morning, but the above got my attention.
Absolutely want Seattle. To be the man, you've gotta beat the man, and they've been our absolute Playoff nemesis in our recent history. I'm all for poetic justice, karma and storybook endings. Another monkey it would be quite pleasant to get off our back, in a season of monkey-off-your-back stories. Wouldn't have it any other way. Take on the obstacle. Remove the obstacle. Complete the circle.
