Redskins vs. Eagles Gameday thread

[skinsfan_nn]

Another big game on the road, against a divisional foe. This would really be a huge win to get a win in philly on the road and keep the streak alive.

We would then come home for a few what should be lesser opponents. I look for this to be a great game, we have to match up well against there strong defense and keep JC clean and open some running lanes.

I do not think the eagles will be as effective on offense due to key injuries. We will keep it fairly close OR possibly even walk away with this one. I look for another upset in philly.

Skins win their fourth game in a row!

Thoughts.

EAGLES EXPECT TO HAVE WESTBROOK, NOT ANDREWS OR CURTIS
Posted by Michael David Smith on October 5, 2008, 9:03 a.m.

The Philadelphia Eagles expect to have running back Brian Westbrook on the field today against the Redskins.

Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that the Eagles think Westbrook will be OK to play a week after sitting out the team’s loss to the Bears with an ankle injury.

However, it’s not all good news on the injury front for the Eagles. Schefter reports that guard Shawn Andrews is out with a back injury and wide receiver Kevin Curtis is out with a hernia. Both had been listed as doubtful on the injury report.

Andrews’ back is getting better, and he’s expected to return next week at San Francisco.

Huge game after today whole division has to come to fed ex.Need to stop westbrook and the eagles will fall.

Regardless of the fact westbrook will play and that this game is already being considered a "must win" for the eagles, I expect us to come out swingin'. But in the same breath, win or lose, after today we will have played all of our divisional road games, offenses whose ranks are 2-6, and we will still be above .500%. As long as we don't fall flat on our face today and start some sort of crazy meltdown (like I'm sure a ton of people are just waiting for it to happen b/c well, it's the redskins), win or lose, keep it a close battle and I'll be somewhat satisfied. HAIL

Winning this game would mean alot. We can make a statement today. I look for the Skins to keep moving forward and show that we are one of the top teams in the league. Protect Jason and pave the way for Portis to run the ball and we get a W. Lets Go Skins. LETS ROCK AND ROLL!!!

This would be a huge, huge win for us. But even if we don't win we still leave a brutal first few weeks of the schedule at 3-2 with a key win against a division foe, two key wins against conference opponents, and all our division road games done. That's not bad.

I'm expecting a big game out of Andre Carter today.

Springs and Washington are out. Brian Westbrook will go... thanks for getting our hopes up, Byron.

I agree 110%. I mean this is a huge HUGE game...but if we dont win, in the grand scheme of things...I dont think there is a single Redskins fan that would not have taken a 3-2 record coming out of the first 5 games. Anything can happen on any given Sunday, but I like our match-ups the next three weeks alot, as well. We could be off to a very good start.. (or not, you never know, but I'm feeling very good about this team).

Just heard Springs, Washington, and Heyer inactive. Westbrook is playing.

[vaoutlaws2006]

no shawn springs....thats big.

[53Fan]

With Springs out, I'm wondering if we will see a lot of 'Cobra" packages today. The challenge just got a little tougher. If we win today, you've got to wonder, just how good are we? I would be VERY impressed.

It's good they don't have great recievers Los should be able to contain jackson by himself and use landry to kinda spy mcnabb and westbrook. Someone called Springs mr. glass like in unbreakable and he even kinda looks like him, He's a great player but jesus the pussy is always hurt, We really need him. Go Skins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Interesting, Zorn using a little psychology on the rookie? Get him motivated for the game by activating him at the last minute.

they need this win a lot more than we do... just saying we'll probably be 6-2 or 7-1 at the halfway mark. not that i wouldn't be pissed if we lost, but losing would be a lot worse for philly.
