The Eagles at the Linc make me nervous...

[tr1]

...I projected this game as a loss for us early in the season.

But, in light of the Eagles' recent losing streak and our defense finally getting healthy, it should be an entertaining game.

Westbrook was complaining to Brian Mitchell about his knee today...saying that it's been swelling up a lot. Whenever I get my hopes up that WB will be a non-factor, he comes up big. :(

Good luck, Eagle fans.


I hope it's a laugher for us.

Yes, this is reminiscent of Emmitt. Every time he was hurting, he'd play huge versus the Redskins.:doh:

[Chachie]

It's all about the home field in this one so the Skins better bring their lunch pails. Also- Eagle fans are grumpy right now. Ouch, I'd hate to be in that stadium with a Redskin jersey on.

[ArmchairRedskin]

I had this down as a loss as well. Times have changed and we need this one bad. The Eagles probably want this one just as bad. I guess it'll come down to who wants it just that little bit more.

[twenty-eight]

this is the THIRD ****ing game we play a team coming off a bye....I dont like that!

I know the Skins aren't the only ones to face3 teams coming off byes, but I'd like to see the odds on this.

wow, ive never seen such a post from you before :laugh:

[Warhead36]

This is one of those games where it could be home field DISadvantage early on.

We have to score quick and force Philly to punt even quicker. Then the boo birds will reign and we can play our game.

With that said though I think it will be a close game, but right now I feel the Eagles will pull it out as they're coming off the bye and are at home, whilas we MAY have an emotional let down after our "Super Bowl" last week.

[Westbrook36]

Eagle are going to win by double digits. Seriously, you don't know what you are in for. You won't be able to stay with our offense.

[Westbrook36]

...I projected this game as a loss for us early in the season.


Actually, no you didn't.

You said the Eagles would start 7-1 on numerous occasions. If you thought we were going to beat the Skins, you would have said you had us projected to start out 8-1.

[zoony]

Eagle are going to win by double digits. Seriously, you don't know what you are in for. You won't be able to stay with our offense.



I actually agree. Brunell and the Oline are terrible in protection when there is crowd noise... and our defense has been a sieve all year.

Although I'm not sure we do lose by double digits, I still have it down as a loss.

.......

[Westbrook36]

If Stallworth was out, I'd give you more of a chance. Your problem is that our offense is going to have every single weapon, 99 percent healthy.

McNabb, Westy, LJ Smith, Stallworth, Reggie Brown, etc.

You don't have the horses in your secondary to stop us all day. Eagles are going to put up about 30 points.

I don't think your offense has 30 in them. Maybe about 22. ;)

[RiggoReincarnated]

Eagle are going to win by double digits. Seriously, you don't know what you are in for. You won't be able to stay with our offense.

Tampa Bay beat you with close to zero offense on their part.

We beat Jacksonville, who beat you.

We will be fine.

[jasimpson]

You don't have the horses in your secondary to stop us all day.
;)

Now that we have ridden ourselves of the cancer, Adam Archuleta, I think we will be able to stop you....to an extent.

[zoony]

I can't wait until McNabb retires and the Eagles are the laughing stock of the East again. We need a punching bag in the East... I figure McNabb has 2 or 3 more good seasons after this one. Then it will be smooth sailing for another 20 years or so until the morons in the Philly front office luck up on another QB.

Good times await. :)

[CGSKINS]

Eagle are going to win by double digits. Seriously, you don't know what you are in for. You won't be able to stay with our offense. I dont no about all that ****. 30 points? We will see. Be hear on monday.

Good point. Also, the Eagles are not keen on the Skins strategy of losing games early on purpose to catch everyone by surprise during their stretch run!

ATTENTION POSTERS! THIS GUY ACTUALLY POSTED THIS THEORY IN THE STADIUM!! :laugh: :laugh:

I'm guaranteeing right now that Stallworth will not have a big game against the Skins. He is Rod Gardner v 2.0. He is going to be hearing Sean Taylor's footsteps all day long. He won't have more than 4 catches. He'll pull a T.O. and drop some crucial passes. There is a reason NO didn't want him anymore. Injury prone and isn't consistant. Anyway, besides that, the Skins fan in me says we take this thing 24-10, the realist in me doesn't know what to think. I really think that win against Dallas might springboard us to greater things but then on the other hand you have a dangerous Eagles team preparing two weeks for the Skins..so I guess we'll have to wait and see..but I am not scared of Stallworth. I'm scared of Brown, because he has been gold against the Skins secondary.

[tr1]

Pretty cocky coming off 0-3.

I predict our time of possession to be about 43 minutes...that means you don't have much time to score.

Your defense is reeling right now. You get one big play sack and then give up two big plays.

Try to ground yourself in reality.

[tr1]

If we don't win I'm going to ****ing cry.

Where do I deliver the tissues?

[tr1]

I think the key to the game is if the Eagles' receivers can hold onto the ball.

So far, they're awful at making catches.

[WVUforREDSKINS]

If Portis gets it going against that weak run D then we win the game.

Our secondary also needs to stop giving up plays on 3rd and long.

[Westbrook36]

WB, why do you come here? :doh:

tr1, why do you make blatantly misleading and incorrect posts? Why do you get offended when I call you on them?

[Who Del]

tr1 you did say they would be 7-1. Then you kept harping on the "hard part of their schedule."

[Westbrook36]

It's all about lowering expectations, Who Del. It is plainly obvious the guy doesn't have the sack to come out and predict a win; he wants to play both sides of the coin.

He'll say now that he had this game as a loss, even though we know this is a lie; revisionist history, if you will.

If the Eagles win, he'll come in with the expected about how we were at home, after a bye, and that we are 1-3 in our last four games.

If the Skins win, well, he'll act like it is the greatest victory in history.

Basically, he is a coward.

I might be right, I might be wrong, but goddammit, I'll say my true feelings without fear of what faceless people on the internet might be able to use against me and say later.

[tr1]

WD, can I help it that your pathetic Eagles failed to meet my expectations?

I'm still not sure how they lost most of those games...

Why would I predict a win when I've already said this game makes me nervous? That means I'm not confident in a win by any stretch of the imagination.

Should we win, however, I'm certainly going to be here bashing the Eagles.

Count on it.

Thanks. I'm always crazy about the three loss in a row. I have no doubt this one will be a great game. The Redskins won their last game and the Eagles are healthy and rested. I'm waiting an offensive game with a dramatic end.

[softballer]

Win or lose, the fact remains ... the Beagles lost their last game ever at their beloved VET. I miss RFK but do believe that we went out in style ...
The Eagles are the Bills of the NFC. Choke on some chunky...

:eaglesuck

[Number5]

I think that the game on Sunday can go two ways......a clse game or a blow out. The deciding factor will be if Moss plays or not....the rest of the WRs don't put fear n anyone's heart, but Moss makes them better.....


Simply put....no Moss, no chance......

If he plays, 17 - 14, either way...
If he doesn't play, 21 - 10 Eagles....

[No_Pressure]

Man I hope Troy Vincent comes up big for us with an INT or something...anything is better than Archu-letdown could do, and it would be against his old team :D

[dwills1]

this game will scare every fan simply because of circumstanial situations. However, the skins need to have that kill mentallity or else we are in trouble!

[TheMalcolmConnection]

What's different about the secondary this year as compared to last? Same players are there. Stollworth is an addition, but that's it. Does anyone else think that he would actually EXPLODE if Taylor hit him the right way?

Last year, Reggie Brown gashed the secondary in both games for scores. The WRs are better now around him for this match up than last season's group. And FYI, from various reports, Taylor will be covering Westbrook since he is the only player on the field who can have any chance of staying with him.

So with a better WR core (though they drop a s**t load of passes, but better none the less) against that secondary, things are very very very different.

Why not put Marcus Washington on Westbrook? Taylor needs to be the enforcer on LJ Smith.

I could be wrong, but I don't recall LJ ever having a big game against the 'skins... at least in the Williams era.

I think MW is adequate enough in coverage that LJ will have decent coverage...

What worries me is Stallworth and Westbrook. Sean Taylor can't guard Westy on every play.

Good point zoony....kinda like Barber/McCoy on Portis...

27.7 Yards Per Game Average
1 TD
0 Fumbles

Dallas had the same attitude last week as you have. Brunell must look and throw long :gus: whether Moss is in the game or not. ARE, Lloyd, Betts and Portis have the ability to go long on any play. You may see more of Betts and Portis in the slot creating similar matchup issues Westbrook brings to the table.

[RiggoReincarnated]

Sean Taylor is faster than MW.

Westbrook is faster than Smith.

Why would you put MW on Westbrook? :wtf:

...

Because LJ Smith is tougher then Westbrook and it will take Sean Taylor getting in his head to stop him.

Washington can handle Westbrook on his own. That's what an All-Pro linebacker can do for you.

I can understand, but at the same time, the Eagles have a better secondary than Dallas has. And while our LBs aren't that good against the run, they can for the most part play the pass. With the "dime" package they employ with Barber and Dawkins at LB and with now James in the package, pass against the Eagles might be a tad more difficult....but that is based upon James playing like he did for the Giants, if not better.

Westbrook isn't exactly chopped liver ya know? Washington is an All Pro, but does he have the coverage skill to handle Westbrook, especially in space?

As a unit, your LB'ers and DB's don't scare me. My worry comes from your front four. The Skins must control the line! If that occurs, Portis and company will run on you and Brunell should be able to occassionally toss some 20 yarders.

[OWUeagleMD]

Washington can handle Westbrook on his own. That's what an All-Pro linebacker can do for you.

If the Skins take your advice Westbrook will have 300 yards and 4 touchdowns. There isn't a linebacker in football who can cover Westbrook one-on-one, and if there was, it certainly wouldn't be Marcus Washington.

Washington is a great Linebacker, but he isn't one of the league's elite coverage men. I don't want to give the impression that I'm slighting Washington. He's a great player, but I don't think there's an advanced scout in the league who would suggest Washington-Westbrook would be a good matchup for the Skins.

[DWinzit]

I love that some of you think you have a chance.
This sounds like a tr1 post on crack!!!:silly: :laugh:
You're starting to sound like some Cowboy fans last week. Certainly we have a chance.

[Westbrook36]

I don't think the Eagles are great but I think they have a 85 percent chance of winning on Sunday.

[DWinzit]

That's 75% better than you sounded a week ago. Good to have you back...I think!;)

60 percent.

We can't do anything about the home-town zebras.

[kingfish50]

It's the Redskins that make me nervous. Which team/QB will show up this Sunday?
If it's the team/QB that was playing last Sunday against dallASS, we have a chance. If it's been the previous teams/QB prior to last week, we get an ass whipping.
I think now would be a good time to unleash TJ Duckett. We keep getting down near the end zone but can't seem to run it over the line with Portis or Betts. TJ's a proven short yardage runner and it's time we stop worrying about hurting other peoples feelings and insert the players that will get the job done and give us a win.

When Brunell does have a good game, it is usually only for the first half.

I would love to see Sellers and Duckett in the backfield pounding the ball!!!

I've grown confident since I saw the injury report.
