I would like to see the Skins (minus Santana Moss and Cooley) play the Rams w/ Bulger and all their starting WRs intact and see them win by more than 6 pts...because that's what the Hawks did without Engram and Darrell Jackson.Since this playoff scheme was adopted in 1990, no 6th seed has ever made it to the conference championship. And when they lose, it's by an average margin of 17 points. That's a big hurdle to get over- and with injuries to Brunell, Portis, Wynn, Springs, Thrash, and Rogers, I don't see them breaking the trend.

why is everyone so smitten with the seahags? (1 Viewer)

then surely you must love Wash+9, no?Lets see....Seahawks lost 3 games all year and two of those were close losses to playoff teams in first four weeks of season. The third loss was last game of season to GB where Seattle rested its players.Washington lost a total of 6 games this season and three of those were to non playoff teams. They even lost to a 4-12 oakland mid season. You can point out the win against the giants but what about the 36-0 loss to the giants in mid season. I love how people only point out the facts that help their side and don't show the negative ones.come on man you're killing me barely squeaking by against teams is different than dominating like the skins have done lately.beat dallas by 28 as opposed to hawks winning by 3
beat giants by 15 as opposed to hawks winning by 3
beat rams by 15 as opposed to hawks only winning by 6 once and matching winning by 15
beat san fran by 35 as opposed to hawks by 2!!! and then by 38
beat cards by 4 only one that favors hawks --> arizona hawks by 25 and then 14
beat philly with mcnabb by 7 as opposed to hawks by 42 against a completely different shell of a team thrown out
so against your common opponents its skins 4 hawks 1 with philly being thrown out. your point has no validity.
also you're from canada and don't matter. thanks for stopping by canuck, get back to your snow and ugly women.
This should be a very good game this week and I am 50/50 as to who will win but I have to think that the bye week for Seattle as well as home field advantage as well as the physical game Washington had against TB gives Seattle the advantage.

What teams did the Redksins beat during that winning streak that hve much worth?

I think that Washington +9 is a good bet but that isn't what the original argument (post) was about. I think that if you look at how both teams have played against the playoff teams the games have been fairly close and this game should be the same.then surely you must love Wash+9, no?Lets see....Seahawks lost 3 games all year and two of those were close losses to playoff teams in first four weeks of season.

If this game were the Superbowl, and both teams had the same amount of rest and the game was played in a neutral site, I think the Redskins would win. Unfortunately, the Redskins fought an all out war last week with TB and travel to SEA to play a WELL rested team.

Another thing....The Seahawks were up 14-2 in the one quarter that was played against the Indy starters. Thats not too shabby....Also, the Seattle Defense is very 'Bend-Don't-Break'. they seem to tighten up within about the 35 yd line. With Trufant on Moss (doubling with Babineaux) and Lofa covering Cooley, how are the Redskins going to move the ball?

I am going to guess they run on 1st, run on 2nd and convert short 3rd downs. They did that every series last week with a small emphasis on convert...
I don't see any reason to believe Joe Gibbs no longer has what it takes to get to a super bowl. He's won three of them. I do think Gibbs needs a stronger club than the one he has in 2005. I think he can build that club down the road but that's for later. For now, the Redskins have accomplished a lot and should feel very good about the future, win or loss this weekend.

Just to weigh in here as a Redskins fan.I think Seattle has to be given the edge here. As weak as their schedule was, 13-3 still illustrates that they have what it takes to win games. Combined with the extra rest and homefield, I definitely think they have the edge in this game.However, this game is in no way a forgone conclusion. I fully expect it be be a very close game, and an odd bounce of the ball might swing it one way or another.Ultimately, I'd say the Redskins have an 45% chance of winning, but they have a 80% chance of beating a 9 point spread.

Weighing in as well. This team is not a pushover at all. They are going to run the ball down your throat. If anyone out there thinks this OL is a pushover they have not been paying attention and they need to go study Broke Back Mountain. The defense? +10 TO diff. Going into the playoffs and they are playing a team that was just pathetic offensively. This team is going to host the NFC championship if the Redskins bring this type of offense because they will turn it over and take a red house whipping from SA all day...

You can say all you want about the easy schedule and try to claim that all 7 probowlers (5 starters) and alternates and all-pros (specifically Jones 49 votes, Hutch 42) and homefield record (22-3)are a product of that but that's shortsighted. Fact is that all but 2 of this year's probowlers (one a rookie and one onsidered one of the best finally getting his recognition) and allpros are on those lists each of the last 2 years as well, some even longer, so this year's cake schedule (that Washignton shared 8 teams of) is moot. It's tough to argue they haven't beaten anyone good at home since their 22-3 record covers the last 3 years. Sure they had some breakdowns against the Rams and Cowboys, but they came back and conquered those problems this year. Not so bad as dropping a home loss to the lowly 4-12 Raiders, THIS year. They haven't won a meaning ful game in over a month? If their schedule is so cake then they havent played a meaningful game all year so this should be no different. After this weekend I'll probably agree with you on one thing. We STILL won't have played a good team all year.

I'll be his huckleberry.Perhaps.Not sure where "everyone is so smitten" is coming from. I think most people would take the Skins with the points.
His tone seems to indicate that he's just looking for a fight.

Now I know why the MODS didn't ban you. Because they can spot a weak poster with a weak game. Let me say for all the Shark Pool that you are not liked nor needed here. You have nothing interesting to impart and you are always going to be MODS: Do not take this down. After the stuff he has contributed, I went easy.

You are right Sir! They haven't beaten even a slightly ok team by more than 4pts. Hopefully in the NFC Championship game they will be able to beat such a team!!!

Hopefully that wasn't a turkey farm you bet, they're likely to take you away with them!
