[quote=firstdown;614062]You can say you heard here first. With all the crap our team has had to deal with they are ticked and want to take it out on someone and the Eagles are the ones. This will be our body bag game and we win 27 to 10.[/quote]
You mean that weren't ticked last week? Or the week before that? C'Mon man!

No I read that the doctors checked two weeks ago and the skins players only had 13% ticked blood cell count and last week when checked again it was 24%. This week they checked and it had jumped to 79% and the doctors said they should call off the game as it could be dangerous. The Skins team doctors worried for his teams players asked what could happen to them and the other doctor replied "not them I'm worried for the Eagle players and especialy DM".

I only get 60 hours of HD recording on mine so I have to delete the few wins we may get :( My wife keeps the Vikes games on there and puts them on every once in a while to rub it in...

anyways as a realist I expect to get blown away. The Eagles are looking to bounce back from an ugly loss to the Raiders and I'm sure they're excited to be playing us so they can get back on track... but as a fan I say we win 17-13!!

16-10 Redskins

I'm the eternal optimist

Re: What do you expect in the Philly Game
 

I'm expecting the Bingo Offense to struggle just as mightily as we did with Zorn calling plays. I can't imagine scoring more than 10 points unless the defense or special teams score.

They will start the show like that but as Iggles players start going down from our ticked players taking it out on them it will end.

Re: What do you expect in the Philly Game
 

i honestly expect an epic loss. The eagles will be reeling from a nasty and embarrassing loss to the hapless raiders and the skins are the perfect tonic. I expect our much vaunted defense to not be able to keep them under 24 points (bc they'll be on the field a lot) and I expect the phili defense to have 6-8 sacks on a confused redskins offense that will burn timeouts (due to relaying play-calling). I could easily see a 30-6 final. sad but true.

Re: What do you expect in the Philly Game
 

Does any one know how many teams relay plays in? I am of the uninformed belief that maybe as many as ten do. But it seems to be a huge concern to many on the site. If a call player knows his plan and can think one to two steps ahead (zorn's problem, and the cause of many of our delays) I would not think we will see any issues that way.

I think many playcallers use a measurement opportunity to plan 2 or 3 plays, zorn was clear he didn't use it to plan any. I will be glad Tuesday to start seeing threads with titles like "Lewis should be our OC" or "Our offense does have a clue" and going into the bye week on a positive note after all this negativity

Re: What do you expect in the Philly Game
 

we wont score a offensive td with campbell, collins might squeak one out. gonna be ugly.

What are the chances Lewis lines ARE behind center, or any other none qb qb?

Re: What do you expect in the Philly Game
 

The game will be ugly and close. The Redskins don't often get blown out. We have a terrible habit of playing down to our competition, but we also play up to opponents better than us.

Re: What do you expect in the Philly Game
 

I expect a big loss.Yes zorns playcalling has been taken away,but whos making the big descisions?Thats still Zorn,and thats what i dont like{like deciding not to kick the fg before halftime last week}
I read where one of the skins said Lewis is studying game film of our last win at philly to help prepare,well im sure Philly is studying that game too and they are going to be prepared for anything we pull.Unless the defense plays lights out and gets us some easy points on turnovers then i think this will be a philly blowout

Re: What do you expect in the Philly Game
 

I agree with Tryfuhl's scoring prediction, but might add a TD for McNabb. He was embarrassed by the loss to the Raiders and the Eagles need to show folks that they are still an elite team. I don't think having Sherman playcalling is going to all of a sudden bring Malcolm Kelly to life either, it is still the same playbook. Henry Ellard or Leslie Sheppard would have given us more production than Kelly and Thomas and those guys are what 50ish?

Re: What do you expect in the Philly Game
 

Eagles come out looking to avenge loss to Raiders, Skins D hangs tough but wears down in the 4th do to us being lost on offense due to changes = 20-6

Re: What do you expect in the Philly Game
 

I think Lewis is going to struggle with play calling early on leading to the defense being on the field for most of the first half. In the end Skins will lose.

Re: What do you expect in the Philly Game
 

Lewis's play calling succeeds brilliantly and the Redkins win in a route 48-3. NFL talking heads on all networks backtrack saying they new that DS would right the ship this week. John Riggins and Joe Theissman both sing praises to Vinny Cerrato on the radio and adorn him with the title GM for Life. Dan makes millions on his newly printed "Snyderatto Rules" t-shirts. But suddenly, an undiscoverd structural flaw in FedExField drops the floor out of the owners booth and the entire front office ownership and staff plunge to a horrifying death. The team is sold at auction to the highest bidder, one John Kent Cooke, who immediately announces that he's going sailing to DisneyWorld....

Well, who's to say your predictions better then mine?

I work with a lifelong Eagles fan who said this exact same thing about Philly on Monday after their loss to the Raiders. We both agreed that our teams do this and it should be a close, tough game.

We seem to play well against the Eagles...won 3 of the last 4.

Re: What do you expect in the Philly Game
 

For the people picking the Skins to lose, I see a lot of 30+ point predictions for the Eagles. Remember we still have a good defense.

But the Eagles scored 9 against Oakland so they must tear off a 35 point game against a better defensive team. I think it is actually because in our last game against them they scored 44. Oh wait that was against the cowboys (yes in times of my misery i like to think of that 44-6 thrashing).

I think Jackson and Maclin may score, but, I can't see them scoring in the 30's in any way shape or form

worse than the lions game for me, because i have to listen to all my eagles friends humiliate me. I might have to wear a paper bag if it goes as planned.

The only way they put up 30+ points is if they score double digit points on defense...which could happen due to the pressure they put on QBs.

We're coming off a demoralizing week with the Samuels news to boot and I think there will be some mail in taking place during this game.

We'll probably take a loss similar to the giants game...we'll never be in it but not a complete blow out.

Re: What do you expect in the Philly Game
 

I do not know if I will even stay up for this one. I hate to say it, but I think Philly is going to make us look down right stupid on National TV.

Re: What do you expect in the Philly Game
 

I expect FedEx jammed with Philly fans. Minus the road trip, it's gotta be much cheaper to buy tickets from boycottin' Redskin season ticket holders/Stub Hub brokers than to attend their own games back in Philly.

Re: What do you expect in the Philly Game
 

Why Blache has had Andy Reid's number the last couple seasons I can't even begin to explain, but the proof is in the pudding and he's definitely had the defense dialed in to hold the Eagles offense. Would I bet that "phenomenon" continues? I mean Reid is definitely the smarter guy right, the better football mind?

Instead, I think Reid gets surprised (again) because this will be the coming out party for our defense! Orakpo has started to settle in and apart from Hall playing like a pussy on critical plays the defense in dialing it in tighter every game. AND...I think Albert takes this game over as he did time and again as a Titan. 2+ sacks and causing constant mayhem in the backfield.

But I'm not predicting a win cuz the offense is a complete gamble. I will say if the offense is completely anemic again this may be the last high-effort game we see from any team unit this season. If the offense is a nice surprise...well then we win a game before we start losing again LOL.

I am benching McNabb on my fantasy team for Matt Ryan. Ryan was my starter, but I had to plug in McNabb against the Raiders. Who would have thunk it!!!!! Skins 3rd against the pass, so no blowouts. I do hope Maclin scores at least once. I had to pick him up as a bye week WR.

I have no idea how many teams relay plays, but our situation is not a good one. For the last 22 games Zorn has called the plays into JC's ear. Now we have one Sherman talking to the other Sherman who then relays the call to JC. A big change. We've had enough time management issues as is. JC was right this week in saying he'll have a play or two in his head in case the call doesn't get there in time.

Sadly, I predict that the offense lays an egg similar to last week, but this time in front of a national audience. How can it improve this week? I just don't see it. Not against a far superior divisional opponent.

We will certainly see on Monday, but I think the time management, and delays were caused by Zorn's methodology. If I understand right, and I really don't know, Zorn waited for a play to end to get the situation for the next play. So in 45 or 30 seconds he had to find the position of the ball get a precise down and distance and then look for the "perfect" play. There were no 2 plays in at a time, or case 1/case 2 scenarios. Thus any wrinkle caused a delay. I hope Lewis is looking ahead, and therefore he can give Smith the play quicker than Zorn could.
Thats my hope and expectation.

Re: What do you expect in the Philly Game
 

Well the national media and the majority of Redskin fans believe that the Skins will lose big. This is a situation for the players have to be saying its us against the world and no one expects us to win but us. I say the Redskins find away to score enough and hold Philly's offense under 17 points. Redskins 20-13

Re: What do you expect in the Philly Game
 

Pride is what our players have. I hope! A good Defence, a knack for playing well against Philly, and maybe a bingo caller calling in plays could just spark an offense to turn a corner. The skins have the personel mostly to be contenders. Our O-line is not great, and the team in general is old, but pride, experience, and being pissed off at the world may get us a win. Skins 24-17. Either way, I believe its going to be ugly at times, for both teams.

How hard is it to look good against the Rams, Lions, Panthers, Bucs and Chiefs? Let's see what the D is ranked at the end of the season. I love the Skins, but I also don't live in a Fantasy world. Eagles in a rout - 28-10.

Re: What do you expect in the Philly Game
 

Sounds like a lot of preemptive damage control with all the lopsided blowout scores and ugly game descriptions. As fan base we have been beaten to the point where we are anticipating disappointment. Rightly so, I guess but I have a weird feeling the boys just might make this one interesting. I'm feeling a pretty good game here with the Skins pulling one out of their collective sore asses. 24-21 Redskins.
