ES Coverage & Interactive Game Day Thread: 2012 Redskins vs Eagles (Final)

PLENTY of zip on Griff's throws...excellent

[SteveFromYellowstone]

Is that strange to anyone else? Hurt is usually a guard IIRC. I really hope he's able to handle being on the outside

[BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93]

Now there's a reason to be nervous. Hopefully, Kyle has a plan to work around this injury. Execution is the key today, no matter what.

idk...I doubt that there will be much of a drop off IMO

[skinsmarydu]

Because the Redskins have a habit of dropping games they should win.

This has been beaten into us the past decade.

Or two. We'll be ready, Robert's ready, and if not, Kirk can do just fine. I will forever believe. HTTR!

[Jumbo]

It's the man who stood close to RGIII!!!

I got about 4.5 hrs sleep last night. Throw a snowball at an iggle fan for me, Rick.

[SWFLSkins]

Why am I so nervous about this game????

Me too BMac, I don't remember being this nervous about a game for quite some time. I think it is the ghost of Redskins teams past creeping into our heads. I just keep thinking that the Skins are anew and with Griff they can bury the let downs of the past and move into the Redskins team of present. Put this dog out of our misery with a solid game today, and Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

[ArmchairRedskin]

Maurice better bring it today.

[J3553]

maybe there's something i'm forgetting, but if we win and both the cowboys and giants lose, do we clinch the division?

If he's worse than Polumbus then he needs to look at a career change.

Hail.

This is one of those crazy division games that the favored team really should win, but "any given Sunday." Effectively losing your starting and backup RT in the span of 8 hours hurts. But, you have to think that it's going to take more than bad RT play for the 'Skins to lose this game.

What worries me is the defense. They've played much better the last 3-4 weeks, though they are prone to the occasional brain cramp and give up a big play. If philly can string a few of those together, Robert has a little rust, it could be closer than it should be.

But, since the beginning of November, the 'Skins have answered every question. So, there is good reason for optimism.

Need CHI and MIN to lose as well I think.

No, but we can clinch a playoff spot with a Bears, Giants and I think Seahawks loss. Maybe Vikings?

Dallas could lose and still win the division next week.

Hail.

Polumbus has been pretty solid in run blocking, and slightly below average at pass blocking.

But moving a guard to RT when he hasn't been practicing there consistently is a concern no matter what.

Actually, it's Giants, Bears and Vikings loss, and we clinch a wild card.

The fifth worst tackle in the league is what I read earlier, so yeah as a benchmark Hurt would have to be god awful to not be an improvement. Was that Black at that rating?
