Skins vs. Eagles Predictions
 

post em here

Skins - 21

Filthadelphia - 20

Ramsey goes 230 yds, 2 TD's and 1 Int

I've been dreading this thread all week.... First off I HATE the Eagles. I mean absolutley dispise these m'fers more than anything. Now, they arent going to go 15-1 this year, they are gonna have 3/4 losses I think. Could one be this weekend, I think so. Now when you look at who we have lost too, and who we have beaten, I really have no business saying were going to beat the Eagles. The fact of the matter is, we match up well with them. Very well. All of their strong area's, are strong area's for us ( Passing game vs Our Secondary) , their weaknesses are our strenghts (Run vs Their Poor Run D). When you break it down that way, I think we have a better chance than most teams. Its going to be tough, going into Philly, Ramsey's first start, were 3-6, their 8-1..... We might not beat them.... but I'll be dipped in sh*t if we dont try...

Skins 24 (YES OVER 20)
Eagles 23

Call it bias if you want.... it proboly is.

portis runs well, hopefully the D does its thing... outcome... cloudy...

ok this is a big weeek for me in the fantasy world being that i have mcnabb and if i win i will take over first place in our office fantasy league. But I hope he gets injured on the first play of the game. and the skins win 17-10

Gameplan....whatever Pittsburgh did. Seriously, I hope they are studying that game like crazy. Also, remember back with Martyball we had Arrington shadow McNabb the whole game and we beat them, I believe, in Philly. Wasn't that the last time we beat them I know we won't have Lavar but maybe Pierce can step up the way he's been playing all year. I am not predicting a win. When I do that we lose. I would, however, like to see three touchdowns. Even if Ramsey throws three picks the three TD's would be a big step for the offense.

I don't think we will be spanked like the Cowboys were Monday. Our corners are much better. That being said, who's got TO? Whomever it is they better bring their best ever game. Look for Sean Taylor to lay out TO once and shut him up...that would make my day win or lose.

Keys to the game:
Run Portis Run.
Keep McNabb on his heels.
Limit TO to one TD. (I don't think we can totally keep him out of the endzone)
Lastly, the defense that showed up to the Bengals game better not show up again, we need the defense to take back the #1 spot.

I think we need to force McNabb to throw. We need to bullrush with the d linemen like other teams do against Vick. The only problem is that McNabb is a much better pocket passer then Vick, but I would rather McNabb throw on us then get time out of the pocket and throw a 60 yard pass on a 14 second play.

I hate to be a realist, and I hope I'm wrong but 28-10 Eagles. Ramsey has not proven anything yet, and considering how extremely thin our defense is and how they get no help, this may be the game where they finally crack. I feel bad for them but they can't keep up their amazing play all year long, especially when its always for just another L.

Ramsey Has A Good Game Over 200 And 2 Tds
Portis Runs For Another Skins Win 21-17

I have to be a realist here. I think the Skins hold the Beagles to under 30 pts.

However, I do not see us scoring more than 17 pts against their D.

The Beagles have an above average secondary, so Ramsey will be tested this weekend.

Portis should be able to find some gaps to burst through. I don't expect Portis to rush for a ton of yards.

Our D should keep us in the game for most of the 1st half.

BIG QUESTION:
WHO'S GOING TO COVER TO....?

I suspect G. Williams will use some zones with the safeties playing some double coverages on TO & perhaps Westbrook. Both lead the Beagles in recv'ing yards last week against the Cowgirls.

PREDICTION:

Beagles 27 - Skins 17

I called last week's loss to the bengals, so here comes another one. Except the wheels start to come off in this one as the skins are just outclassed. Eagles win this one 35-17. Offense will give up a td in this one.

As I said last week, sure hope I am wrong.

I guess it all depends on Ramsey. I hate to put all the pressure on him, but let's face it, we desperately need a boost in the passing game to get this offense going.

TO and McNabb are going to be tough assignments for our D, I just wish we were at full strength against these guys. We've been getting bit by the injury bug all season, when is it going to finally swing in the positive direction for us?

We need a big game from Portis to help keep some of the heat off Ramsey. If Ramsey can hit some big plays and keep the D honest, that should help open some things up for the running game.

I'm really not worried about the Eagles offense too much. We should be able to shut down their running game and focus on McNabb and TO. I don't want to see TO running free like he did against Dallas though, but then again Dallas' secondary is horrible. Still, Springs or Smoot are going to need help.

Even though I don't like our chances in this one, I'm going to cross my fingers, keep it positive and go with the Skins, 24-20.

Skins - 27

Eagles - 24

Portis will have to get at least 25 rushing attempts, and hopefully that can keep the Defense honest, and create some big plays with the play action. The good thing about this game is we can pound the ball against a very suspect run defense, and then stretch the field with big passing plays. O-line will also play a HUGE factor in this game. I think its important to keep Ramsey protected so that he can get comfortable in the pocket and not force any throws. He needs time back there. We should get Cooley involved in the offense more also. It seems like he always catches the ball no matter what. He probably has better hands than any of our receivers!

On defense, I think we should double TO with Springs and Taylor, and force Mcnabb to throw the ball underneath to Westbrook and LJ Smith. I think our LB's can cover them. The D-line? Hopefully we'll get some pressure on McNabb and if we do get pressure, grab a hold of his jersey, sock, shoe string, something. Gotta get him DOWN! McNabb always seems to have a big day scrambling against us. Gotta contain his ass.

If we win this game it could turn around our whole season.....

I think it will be closer than the filly -cowgirl game but I dont think it will be close,Eagles 31-skins 13

All I can say is Ugh.

one point for optimism is that, in his last 2 appearances against them, ramsey has been pretty good (except for when he threw that pass to nd kalu, hehe). in fact, we were one 2 point conversion away from tying them last time, to certainly win in ot. the thing that amazes me about the eagles is that no one has really exploited their cornerbacks deep yet, and while those guys are getting good, they are still far from taylor and vincent. with the line stacked against portis, i think ramsey will have a great opportunity to make the kind of throw we all wanted brunell to make. that will open up portis for a 200 yard day, if we complete even one pass over 25.

the other thing i worry about is us blitzing, getting to the qb, but having our guys just bounce off of him - he's tough to tackle. hopefully, williams can stress rapping up his legs, cos i know smoot and springs love to do that torpedo tackle on blitzes, and that's trouble with mcnabb.

TO will catch a td but he will also get laid out and spit on by taylor. portis 150, ramsey 17-26, 189, 2 TD, skins win 27-21. yeah!

Philly's D is gonna go after Ramsey with tons of blitz packages. That's gonna be tough to counter seeing that our O-line has not been very good all season.

I see Philly pretty much dominating this game from start to finish.

Ramsey has not looked very good this year & I can not see him shining against a perrenial championship caliber football team. Maybe against the Cowgirls in a few weeks, but not against Andy Reid & his high fueled machine.

[QUOTE=djnemo65]TO will catch a td but he will also get laid out and spit on by taylor.[/QUOTE]
:lol:

Its great to see all the Skins fans predicting a Skins victory.

Unfortunately, I couldn't help but notice the way McNabb and TO simply tore up the Cowboys.

I think our D is stronger, but those guys are just too tough right now, and their blitzing defense will definately force Ramsey into making 1 or 2 mistakes.

Eagles: 28
Redskins: 14

I just asked my magic 8 Ball if the REDSKINS would beat Philly this weekend. It said "very likely".
So I think the Redskins will win 27 to 21. :cool-smil

I don't think our D will give up more than one touchdown, I see Ramsey having a break out game with the whole team looking reborn. 24-12 Redskins.

I see me turning my apartment into something resembling a scene from Apocalype Now if they lose to the Weasels.

Eagles 28
Skins 17

They're just too good.

redskins 43-10. its gonna happen. it is.

Have you asked the 8 ball before?

You should keep track of how it does predicting the games.

Its a blood bath this weekend in Philly. Our defense will be on the field too much. Eagles win easily 34-10.

I'll have some of what Riggo is smokin'! I think we'll give the Beagles a tough fight, but not tough enough. I think the outcome of this game will hinge on how well we can establish CP on the ground. If we get him rockin' against the Philly D, they'll have to overload the box which should open up the passing game for Ramsey. The more the 'Skins D is off the field, the better off we'll be 'cause that will mean McNabb and TO aren't on the field. And yes, we might just see a psych war all day long between TO, Smooty, and Punky Taylor. With all that said, I hope I'm wrong, but I'm calling the game Eagles 27, Skins 24

Redskins 1,9038

Eagles 1

That is what Cleo told me

We could loss and I would just be happy to see Sean Taylor knock that smile off TOs face. If that happens in the first half Skins win by three.

If the OL finally turns up and blocks for Portis and Ramsey, then I think Skins 21 Eagles 17. If not, then I hate to think how bad it can get.

Eagles 30
Skins 10

PR throws 4 pick that lead to Philly scores. TO & Taylor get into a brawl.

Do we have to do this thread? It's awfuly painful.

Eagles 52
Skins 9

They're too damn fucking good.

Skins will need griffin to win this and I don't know if he is playing this week. Our offense just need to not let their defense score and there has to be presure on McNabb enough to bring him down for it to go in our favor. I say Redskins shock eagles 13-10 in overtime.

Keys:
Pressure the hell out of McNabb. Knock TO on his ass until he can't get up. Stuff Westbrook.
Run Portis a ton so play-action is effective, and use hot-reads to counter the blitz. Protect Ramsey!

I think we have a real shot at sneaking up on them...they will be [I]way [/I] overconfident after destroying Dallas, and I think Williams will devise some great ways to disrupt their offense. They will try to blitz the hell out of Ramsey, but Gibbs and co. know this, so they will game-plan against it.
Portis will break his biggest TD run since game one (over 50 yds), and will top 150 yards. Ramsey will throw for over 200 yards, 2 TD's and 2 INT's. The D or special teams will add another TD.
Skins: 31 (yes, I said THIRTY-one!)
Eagles: 27

This will be our break-out game that proves that we haven't given up, and are a team to be reckoned with.....and that PR should have been starting weeks ago...

Damn...i dont know about this one...if portis has a good game atleast a 100 rushing yards i think the redskins will take it...but it wont be no blow out eather way....im presdicting the skins to take it in OT 17-14....redskin wont get over 18 this game for sure...but anything can happen in the NFL

Man I hope so!

I will sum it up , Eagles defense runs over and through Ray Brown with blitzes all day.
Ramsey gets sacked at least 6 times. Wich means he wont get any rhythm. Also we will have lots of trouble with TO , As we did with Chad Johnson in the first half.
Eagles 35
Redskins 14

To the Football Gods: Can we have LaVar Arrington back please?

Oh well, it probably wouldn't matter anyway. I think they'd better have two stretchers ready for Ramsey and Coles. Those guys are going to take a beating.

Sooner or later, the Skins will have a break-out game, with the offense finally breaking the 18 point barrier -- but not this week.

This one's going to be ugly, and not even close.

Eagles win easy, 38-6

LaVar is out again this week

I'm really starting to think my jersey jinx is real. The week after I got my Arrington authentic he went down.

Here's a history of my jersey jinx:

Shuler-self explanatory
Terry Allen-the next year he was gone
Brad Johnson-see above
Champ Bailey-2 seasons later he was gone
Stephen Davis-see above

I have a Smoot retro, so far so good with the jinx, let's hope he's the jinx buster

Well the skins need this win if they can beat the Eagles then there gonna win the rest of their games expect for the steelers if they beat them there gonna to the super bowl

Great, now I have to consider getting a new nickname. Thanks a lot Matty! For your birthday, have you thought of maybe asking for a McNabb, Tiki, or TO jersey? Something along those lines
