Crush the Packers, come to DC, make bad penalties, play like s***. Yeah, I can't wait for the Baltimore, NO, and Atlanta games. Their only win might be against the lowly Eagles, then again, they always play like crap against them too.

The Ravens and Falcons have amazing records so the Giants will likely destroy them. I assume they'll completely crap the bed against the Saints, though. They never play the Saints well.

That's the scariest Manningface I've ever seen. It's like he's become the Undertaker.

When the Giants play the Falcons and the Ravens, they might not playing for anything. This might be an exhibition to them. And the Saints suck, so really the schedule is not that hard, no excuses.

[Toxik916]

That was one entertaining game. I'm hoping the Skins win the east.

[Unocal 76]

Well, next Monday Night is basically a heavyweight showdown.

And the week after that a lulzfest.

[Rolent Tex]

The Giants D shut down RG3 just enough for me to hold on to my playoff win...by 7 lowly points. Thank god my opponent sat James Jones for Blackmon at the last second.

Yay me!

[horsemen4ever]

Well than I think might watch some My Little Pony videos to cheer me up. I need a hug.

Not to get all Ravens with it, but was everyone in that stadium wearing Burgundy & Gold?

It's nice to know that the Giants learned absolutely nothing from the first meeting with Griffin III and the Redskins; No containment on RGIII whatsoever, Morris ran all over them again, and the offense (aside from shitting on themselves with penalties) took a nap in the second half. And then the fantastic decision to start running the ball on 1st and 2nd down against one of the worst pass coverage units in the history of the NFL in the 4th quarter. Just another exhibition of outsmarting oneself by the 'Best in the Game' Kevin Gilbride.

Redskins are a game back behind the Giants for the NFC East lead, and are a game back behind the Seahawks for the 2nd wild card spot.

I think 9 wins gets you the NFC East. Giants still have the Falcons and Saints to play, and I believe the Ravens as well. Gonna be an interesting next 4 weeks!

They have a tiebreaker with fellow 6-6 team Tampa (Cundiff's lone positive contribution to the Redskins)

Well they have a slight chance in the Ravens game, 900 year old Batch just threw all over them, and Flacco sucks. Rice will probably rush for 400 yards though.

Also hold a tiebreaker over the Cowboys and Vikings as well. Not sure how the TV networks set up the playoff stuff but in the event of a tie, usually head to head is the first thing they look at and the Skins had beaten the teams that were ahead of them.

BTW, also something to consider. Skins are 3-1 in the division, Giants are 2-3. Should Giants and Skins finish tied for the NFC East, and are both 3-3 in the division, Skins are NFC Champs because of head to head. Divisional games are so crucial for this reason.

The Cowboys have life!

Not much of one if their run defense doesn't play any better, but life nonetheless!

They won one game each.

If Giants and Redskins end up tied for the division lead at the end of the season and tied in head-to-head and in division record, both would be 8-8.

If both Redskins and Giants are 8-8:

-Redskins would have to win their next two games(vs. BAL, at CLE), then lose the last two games(at PHI, vs. DAL)

-Giants would have to lose their next three games(vs. NO, at ATL, at BAL), then win their season finale(vs. PHI)

-For just them to be tied for the division lead at 8-8, Cowboys would have to lose their next three games(at CIN, vs. PIT, vs. NO), then beat the Redskins in the season finale

They split the season series, both are 3-3 in division, next tiebreaker is common games(DAL x2, PHI x2, ATL, CAR, NO, TB, BAL, CIN, CLE, PIT). and the Redskins would win that tiebreaker and the division(Skins would be 6-6, Giants 5-7; both teams split with DAL and PHI, both beat TB and CLE, both lost to ATL, CIN, and PIT, Giants beat CAR while Skins lost to them, but Skins would have beaten NO and BAL while Giants lost to both).

Edit: I think if all that were to happen, Redskins could clinch the East in Week 16.

So to tl:dr this:

Redskins win next two games, Giants lose next three, Cowboys lose next three, Redskins win the East with one game left.

2nd Edit: If there's a three-way tie with the Cowboys at 8-8, Cowboys would win division with a 4-2 division record(split with Giants and Redskins, swept Eagles).

Time for the entertaining 'What happened last time Washington won on Monday night at home', which was October 1997:

Nikki Cox was still hot

The Seahawks were an AFC team

The Jacksonville Jaguars were an elite NFL team
