Post game thread, let's talk about it here

Re: Skins 31 Eagles 6
 

We want dallas!

Good: All of it.
Bad: The Eagles - My God.

Re: Skins 31 Eagles 6
 

The Eagles have been the worst team in the NFC this year. This is encouraging because this is what you are supposed to do to a team like that when they walk into your house. You are supposed to knock them out.

Good job, Redskins.

Re: Skins 31 Eagles 6
 

We beat up a bad team today.

Still have a lot of weaknesses.

Re: Skins 31 Eagles 6
 

First time we beat a rookie qb since 2005, but hey its a blowout. Nice to see some better safety play.

Re: Skins 31 Eagles 6
 

Convincingly won a game we should have convincingly won -- good to see Meriwether play today and the defense play really well today. H/e, Nick Foles is not a starting QB so making him look bad is not much of an accomplishment. That being said, RG3 -- what an absolute monster: 8 tds through 9 games, 4 tds in a division game..beautiful.

Re: Skins 31 Eagles 6
 

I enjoyed the hell out of it. The Iggles suck but that doesn't usually matter. We beat their ass and I loved it! What can you say about RG3? He has improvements to make and he still plays like this? Absolutely amazing performance.

Re: Skins 31 Eagles 6
 

A lot of people had the Eagles in the playoffs and winning this division. Let me hear from you.

Biggest disappointment of the season, IMO.

Re: Skins 31 Eagles 6
 

Haslett actually looked like he had a plan today. Defense played well and they should have played well against a piss poor online and rookie qb making his first start. Our offense is still a work in progress. I get the feeling Kyle does not trust RG3 in obvious passing downs. And on those downs RG3 is not comfortable. Actually I thought Kyle had a terrible day calling plays. Good win against a very bad team.

Re: Skins 31 Eagles 6
 

Great coaching and play on the defensive side. Really cant say enough about Josh Wilson, Riley, Kerrigan, Merriweather, and Coefield. Those guys dominated.

RG3 played incredible today. Better lucky than good on a couple plays, but we will take it. Kyle didnt help RG3 at all and the Oline had alot of trouble today. Thank god for RG3, because if that was the Kyle/Rex combo last year with this game plan today, it woulda been a loss.

Re: Skins 31 Eagles 6
 

Farging excellent!
I feel much better about playing ball on turkey day now.

Re: Skins 31 Eagles 6
 

Well winning this game is like Valentine day. If you take your Misses out properly you don't get credit because its expected of you. But if you had blown it there would've been hell to pay. :)

I had no clue that Eagles' defense was that bad until today. No clue. Andy didnt help himself with the neglect of the Oline/Oline depth.

Jason Peters is the equivalent of the Orakpo loss for us. He is vital to the success of that offense.

Re: Skins 31 Eagles 6
 

Eagles defense isn't that bad. Our offense wasn't as clicking as people think. The numbers can be misleading i'm sure.

Defense played 100% better with BW out there, and I hope he can play Thursday.

This offense is schemed to help RG3 be successful, and it shows just how important Shanahan has been in developing RG3. A lot of just straight drop back plays were missed and not thrown by RG3 today, and I think his ability to move the pocket helps him and we need to keep doing it.

RG3 and Kerrigan get my game balls.

Kerrigan had a sack, FF, and FR.

Re: Skins 31 Eagles 6
 

didn't kerrigan also have a couple tackles for loss? He played well today. RG3? Well, what can you say. He IS our franchise moving forward.

Bottom line, we beat the snot out of a team we were supposed to dominate. When Vegas has the redskins more than 3 point favorites, then the other team is usually not too good. That said, its good to win a game convincingly, kinda forgot what that felt like. Hopefully, this is the turning point in our season, as the NFCE is wide open, the cowgirls get beat by the browns hopefully, and the eagles are officially out of it. Hopefully the GMen can suffer a defeat soon, and we are right back in the thick of it. Good win redskins!

Re: Skins 31 Eagles 6
 

nice all around. 2 games back from nyg

Re: Skins 31 Eagles 6
 

Where is The Gloat? Probably pretty upset

Re: Skins 31 Eagles 6
 

Is Josh Wilson OK? Is Merriweather really done?

Re: Skins 31 Eagles 6
 

BTW - Even with RG3's numbers, there were plenty of negatives to take away from this game offensively. Without the 20 and 15 yard runs, Almo would have been averaging under 3 yards a carry, and even with them he was only averaging 3.8 yards a carry. The stupid penalties will lose the game for us against better teams, and the offense looked choppy. We got good pressure on Foles, but it didn't look like it took much to rattle him anyways. Defensively, its hard to find any negatives with how the team played, holding any NFL team under 7 points is a top notch feat. The offense, even with the perfect passer rating, looked the weaker of the two groups today, and hopefully we can tighten it up before thanksgiving, and rout the cowbitches.

Hail.

I had not heard anything about Meriweather being done....just his R knee twisted, but I do not know the severity,,,,

Re: Skins 31 Eagles 6
 

Merriweather made a difference in the secondary, even though it was against the rookie back up qb, he made few good tackles on McCoy as well.

Edit: Forbath definitely need to work on his kick off kicking

Griff was ridiculous

Re: Skins 31 Eagles 6
 

Rumors of the end of our season have been greatly exaggerated.

Re: Skins 31 Eagles 6
 

Best part of the game was Has modifying the gameplan mid-game. After the screen was killing us he switched to more zone and fewer blitzes up the middle. Screens became losses and their receivers couldn't get open. All around great defensive showing. I kept expecting one blown coverage resulting in a long play and it never happened.

Re: Skins 31 Eagles 6
 

This was our first playoff win. That's the way the 'skins have to look at it. Kind of glad the Cowboys won today, because it sets them up nicely for a huge disappointment come Turkey Day!

The offense was good enough to beat a horrible team. It would not have been good enough to beat a good team. Still too many wr screens and option plays.

Re: Skins 31 Eagles 6
 

Overall a good game, defense gets credit, RGIII was great, he benefited w/ 3 TD's from Eagles horrendous coverage and tackling.

Things of concern that need fixing ASAP:

Penalties, I thought they were focusing on this during the bye week
Special teams coverage
Questionable play calling by Kyle
Screen play defense (they finally adjusted somewhat)

We can only hope it is nothing serious...the Skins need Meriweather

Re: Skins 31 Eagles 6
 

Hands down, my game ball would go to the defensive unit as a whole. A tremendous job by the D to keep them from putting 7 on the board. They should have been playing like this the whole year. I just hope this wasn't a fluke due to how bad Philly's OL is.

Philly has backups all across the line. One guy they just signed off the street. They are a mess. But the D had a plan to get pressure and they executed.

Re: Skins 31 Eagles 6
 

What a pleasure to watch. Santana is registering as one of my all-time favorite Redskins.

My only downside is that I didn't like how the Eagles moved the ball in the first half, even if they couldn't convert and handed us some turnovers. Things obviously changed in the second half, but as I said, it would be the one downside I'd point out.

Re: Skins 31 Eagles 6
 

Let's not get too excited about Merriweather's play today. He cannot stay healthy and he's looking for a big contract he won't be able to fulfill.

He's got zero chance at a big long term deal.

Its a 2 year deal so we have him next year as well.
