the Redskins are out of the playoffs and a win would further hurt their draft position in the top 10-12 picks, but there is something about a division game against a rival that has beaten you 31-7 and 45-12 in the last 2 contests that makes it imperative to go into the offseason with that monkey off your collective back.
the Redskins lost to the Eagles 59-28 but beat them in Philly 17-12. Not quite even, but enough to give them a sting.
but the Giants?
this team has used the Redskins as toilet paper for the last 3 years and no matter who the coach or defensive coordinator is, Washington has never managed to come up with its best or most motivated performances when playing the blue and white.
The Redskins haven't fared well in defending their home turf in 2010, a team that finishes 4-4 on the road usually does better than 6-10 overall.
But in a topsy-turvy season with a lot of surprises, most of them unpleasant, one that would be nice to go out on is a win against Coughlin and eliminate the Giants from the postseason.
