The main reason the Skins lost to the Eagles?

You just have to HAVE to stop the big play. The game was calculated PERFECTLY until that point. GW made the wrong call, the players made a bad play and we lost, just like that.

The execution just has to be better.

Like I said, of course the defense didn't play well. And I know there's no convincing you, but there has to be a point where the offense just wins the game when given the chance. You can't rely on the defense at the end of the game to hold the other team, especially the way they were playing yesterday.

I think the expectation for the offense to just score enough points to get by and let the defense win the game is bullshit. For all the yards and points the offense scored yesterday - it doesn't mean shit until it can actually win a damn game. The frustation comes from patiently waiting half of a season without seeing that.
