Ramifications of McNabb benching......

[hail2skins]

.....means that one game that a lot of us probably considered a toss-up now looks like one we should win. Will make it easier for the playoff run, although I'm not sure who else plays them as well (I think the Cowboys still have to go to Philly).

[Stew]

Speculation this early. Im not under estimating any team from here on out and Im not over estimating our team. we only scored 20 today.

[da#1skinsfan]

nothing is an easy win. Kolb could come out next game and throw for 400 yards. McNabb could get fired up from this, start next week and return to his form in 04.

way too early.

[JoeSkinsfaninNJ]

The Rams game was a game we should have won. Going against Dallas with Romo being rusty and not 100% was a game we should have won. No game for the Redskins is easy.

[skinsgirl26]

We don't know if McNabb will stay on the bench or not...maybe his mom will give him some chunky soup and he'll be back to starting.

The eagles usually give us a run for our money anyway...what with the NFCEast rivalry and all.

Only? That's above the team's average.

[Frediemac]

It means NOTHING! the Eagles (5-5-1) were not in play anyways.

Beware of the FALCONS and of course the FAGBOYS

[DieselPwr44]

We just barely scraped by a 2-8 team.

I don't think you can count on any easy W's with this team.

True that... :(

He would puke up the Campbells chunky soup on the sideline in the 4th quarter.

One thing I do know is McNabb hurt me on my fantasy team today. Good thing I have Brees as my other QB so I should be ok. And a timely trade of Desean Jackson for Terrel Owens helped as well. LOL

[Voice_of_Reason]

They will not be as good without McNabb. They are not in playoff contention, but they do play the 'Skins in a few weeks. Here's hoping the team just falls apart.

New coach so it may not mean much but for the last 4 years the middle 8 have been bad while the outsides have been great. Last year we went 2-6 in the middle 8 but went 7-1 on the outsides despite playing some tough teams. Seems its more about where we are at mentally than who we play.

[SuperIggles4ever]

What the Eagles really need right now is a new head coach.

[mi6]

The Eagles are always a dangerous team. For whatever reason, they really do play us tough... and, the game goes right down to the wire. With the beating they have taken in the last two games they will be playing for pride/respect -- and, that makes them that much more dangerous.

And, don't forget we have to play the Giants. Our schedule isn't a walk in the park.

Also, to go to the playoff with tempo, we need to our offense in better shape. Just scoring 20 points is not going to get us too far. Our punting game and kicking game needs to improve. The guy from Seattle booted a punt for 61 yards, and our fat lump of lard struggled getting the boot to go more than 40 yards.

I refuse to ever have TO on any of my fantasy squads.
With that said, what up to a fellow Ohio skins fan.

[Skins2Win33]

We are definitely a rarity aren't we? LOL With Owens, I had a feeling he would go off with Romo back and didn't trust Jackson since he's a rookie and would hit that rookie wall. Oh I forgot to mention I do have Portis and the redskins D starting on my team, so I do represent.

Andy Reid sure has a BIG decision to make between now and Thanksgiving.

Appeared to me he started looking ahead to life without McNabb next season today, but we shall see. Hopefully he has. Every little helps, and I'd sure as heck rather face the inexperienced Kolb than McNabb.

The Eagles are teetering on the edge. Let's hope this takes them over it and leaves one less team to worry about.

Hail.

[Pimpey42000]

What Philly really needs is prolly something its not going to get, a LOMBARDI!

[Thirtyfive2seven]

Who's to say that the McNuggest benching will be permanent? Maybe it's only for one game? If that's the case the Eagles will come back ready to play. I think McNug wants out of Philthy though. He's finally reached his breaking point. Same with Reid.

He'll be a free agent next season, I'm certain.

[texasthunder]

And where is the "trade Colt for Desean Jackson" thread ????? :silly:

[Darc Requiem]

Yeah Reid has blown it for you guys. The Eagles probably would have won a Super Bowl if he would have managed to find McNabb a number 1 receiver. Oh well not my team, not my problem. :eaglesuck

[deejaydana]

We "should" beat Philly at home considering we man-handled them on their turf earlier in the season. In fact I think this may well be our easiest contest left on the schedule. With that said, I'm not thinking ANY of the other remaining games will be a "gimme"---this league is just far too parity-driven. Weeez gonna have to work hard to reach the post-season.

NY Giants: (most likely a loss, I mean look what they did today w/o Jacobs and Plax)
@ Baltimore: most likely this is a loss unless our D can come up w/some scoring for us
@ Cincy: I'm going to pencil this is as a "W" but it's not going to be easy, this team is not as bad as its record suggests.
Philly : This is a clear win for us
@ SF: I'm saying this is a win also because we always beat these guys in recent years, I know, I've seen every game for the past few.

That would leave us at 10-6 and probably in strong contention for at least a road game in the first round. Hey, it's much more than I expected this year and I hope, something to build upon.

HTTR!!!

[Walking Deadman]

Whatever,

we don't play the Eagles for another 4 weeks.........:doh:

[LoudMouth12thMan]

I agree with what Stew said :)

[Jofizz]

McFlabb will QB the Cardinals next season.

McFlabb will QB the Cardinals next season.

Vikings. With Brad Childress.
