The 'Skins aren't dead, but they are on life support. Even if they win their final three games and finish 10-6, they're going to need a lot of other things they have no control over to fall their way. We can't even worry about the playoffs right now. We just have to somehow dig deep and just find a win. The Redskins who finish with games at Dallas, at Pittsburgh and visiting Arizona, could use a healthy dose of the character the Giants displayed.
Tough teams win games in the trenches, and New York whipped Washington at the line of scrimmage.
Obviously, television commentator Mike Ditka had his NFC East teams confused when he called the Giants soft. Until George passed for 143 yards and a touchdown in the final eight minutes, New York held the Redskins scoreless and limited them to 155 total yards. This was one game for us. It was a huge game, and it can send us in a different direction into the playoffs, but only if we take care of business.
