If Dallas wins Saturday then I think you want Washington to beat Minnesota, so Washington has something to play for when they meet Dallas the week after.

I want Washington to win vs. Minnesota either way.

Washington wins out unless the Saints screw things up they should be in over the Vikings.

Washington in playoffs vs. Minnesota in the playoffs(unless the Giants suck it up and screw things up too)
1. Todd Collins = Tavaris Jackson with less stupid mistakes from Collins
2. Adrian Peterson(and I guess Taylor) >>>>>>>>>>>>>'skins running game.
3. Minn defense is slightly better than Washington

I'd rather have the 'skins in the playoffs in general...and yes,I would like them to have a meaningful game against Dallas to help us out even more.

Washington needs the most help of the three realistic remaining wild card teams I believe. Beating Minnesota is the first step. Lose and they're basically out. But even if they win they still need the Saints to lose at least one game. The Saints own the tiebreaker.

Yeah, I had thought that...was too lazy to actually look at the standings. If the Skins lose they ARE out. I'm not sure which is more dangerous to me...Drew Brees' hot hand or Adrian Peterson and that stout defense.

Please Giants, win another game.

I guess I shouldn't have said easily. Maybe it's a tossup.

Going in MM's favor is the system he's instilled. No way we're 10-2 if we're running the Sherman offense. The spread attack is a thing of beauty when it's rolling.

But Gruden's team 4 games last season. They lost their starting RB and have been using a journeyman at QB (though a good journeyman). He's somehow taken years off an aging Bucs D.

What's going against him is the fact the NFC south is so bad.

I think MM should get it, but I agree highly with this...and Garcia has been hurt for a a few games as well--

Gruden has done an absolutely phenomonal job this year in my mind.

Correct, but not a huge problem either way--they always get up for Dallas, doesn't matter what the stakes are.
