Re: Redskins vs. Eagles round II game thread

First off, thanks Gmanc for providing me with score updates. Today, fortunately (or unfortunately) I was able to follow the 2nd half of the game via NFL.com. Seems like we played both our best and worst game of the year today.

Offense looked like it had some really nice drives today. And Portis is absolutely back. But these drives have, HAVE, to end in touchdowns not field goals. And of course, we need to convert extra points.

Defensively...were we missing some players or something? Apart from Rogers and MW. And it seemed like every other play was a penalty on the Redskins D.

I think they should have punted the ball just prior to that last touchdown. I'm sure had we done so it would have been knocked as too conservative. But trailing just by 3 points and with the 2-minute warning remaining I wouldn't have taken that gamble so deep in our territory. Of course, who would have thought Campbell would fumble...again.

Tough, tough loss. It's never good to lose to a division opponent at home. And it's not like we can afford too many losses. Now we have to go out and win a game that no one expects us to (vs. Dallas, at NYG). The Redskins could act like half their fans and give up now, or they can get their shit together and move on to next week.
