Thoughts on Eagles/Redskins

[SBXVII]

I think....we win. I say this 'cause I really don't think the Eagles have been the same since their SB run. Yes they have flashes but not during the whole season. McNabb is not 100%, Westbrook even if he plays will not be 100%, They only have one really good WR Rookie they picked up in the offseason, Their secondary is suspect, Dallas beat them and we beat Dallas(I know, I know...any given Sunday...), and the crowd noise. Their fans can get loud which may pose a problem but since we played Dallas in a sorta half dome situation and won I think we should be alright in an open stadium.

What happened to the Talidega Night Homers? ....

Two keys on offense; one is protection of JC. If we protect, we could win by 14+, however Johnson is an excellent DC with a strong secondary allowing him to bring pressure. Second is the running game, we can't become one-dimensional even though Philly has stopped the run against Dallas, Pitt & Chicago. We must establish a running game to keep the Iggles off balance and not allow them to tee-off on JC.

Defensively, with Westbrook out, the only thing scary is McNabb outside the pocket.

Thanks Buster. Last week I was pretty close too. Now if I could just get a few games right in Don's Prediction League I'd be money. LOL

God it would be fantastic to win this game and be 4-1. Personally I think this game is going to be a really tough one to win. The iggles D is 1st against the run and 3rd in overall defense. The past 4 weeks we have played the most powerful offensive teams in the entire league. The cowboys are ranked 2nd the saints are 3rd the Giants are 4th and the Cards are 5th. WoW! And now we have to play the 6th ranked Iggles. Some schedule we have. This basically shows how awesome our Defense really is. On the flip side, the saints, cards and the cowcocks Defenses are not all that great. However, the iggles D is a force to be reckoned with. Just ask Ben Roethlisberger whos probably still sore from that ass whooping. The dude was sacked 8 freakin times!!! Our offense will not resemble what we have seen in the past three weeks if JC is constantly on his back like big Ben. Plain and simple. It will resemble opening day against the giants where we could not get into a rhythm because our O line was getting muscled over. For us to move to 4-1 we have to have another team effort on all sides of the ball like we did in Dallas. But most importantly a hugggge game from our O-line. I have a ton of confidence in our defense containing Mcnabb. The real question is, can our Offense put up enough points to win against a relentless iggles defense? This will be a true test but I believe JC is up for it. As long as he continues to be patient and make smart decisions expect another great day from him. However, if this is the game he forces some balls and breaks no that no INT streak it could easily change the outcome of this game. I predict a low scoring affair with little to no run game out of CP. I refuse to predict a score simply because I am superstitious. If we play smart football and seize the oppurtunites we get on offense we will win this game. All I can do now is hope for a great game with NO injuries. This is gonna be one hell of a battle! GO SKINS!!!

Like SS33 said, Jim Johnson is a guy to be worried about. This is probably the toughest defense we've faced this year. I'm sure he'll have a great scheme, and it might be hard on JC. I don't see us putting up 30+ points.

On another note, if we lose this game it won't be the end of the world. We'll still have a good chance to go 6-2 by mid-season.

Hey, Andy Reid didn't win all the games he was supposed to his first year. I believe in the 'Skins, but I know they could be upset by an inferior team, not that the Eagles are an inferior team...it's just that they're not as good as the Redskins. The Eagles have a good defense, but so do the 'Skins. Jason Campbell could have a bad game, or Jim Zorn could call a bad game, but this is highly unlikely. If Chicago can beat the Eagles, then we shouldn't have a problem winning this one. How's that for rambling?

I hope Westbrook desn't play. I don't like this game because it seems like a perfect trap game. One thing is for sure, we'll know if the Redskins are shitting me or not after this game.

[CRedskinsRule]

After last Sunday's win, we won't take the Eagles by surprise, and I hope our guys know that the Chicago game was not the Eagles best. This game is going to be another brawl, and if we don't contain(not necessarily sack) McNabb he will lead his team to a win.
Having said that, I think we are the most solid of the 4 NFCE teams and think we will win if we play without turning it over.
Eagles 17
Redskins 27 (we still have some trouble finding the endzone, but continue to progress in every aspect.)

IF we win this game, then our Redskins ARE FOR REAL. No one can say us beating the Cowgirls was a fluke.

That said if the Skins lose I don't think that means they aren't for real.

If anyone is saying the Skins win in Dallas was a fluke, it's probably a ticked off Dallas fan. There's no way that was a fluke.

Totally!
Anyone says the Cowboy win was a fluke is either a Boys fanatic, or did not see the game. We left a lot of points on the field. We will put more of those on the board as experience grows. THIS team win or lose in PHILLY Is for real!!

It might be a fluke from the perspective that Dallas may not have played it's best game, and a better effort from them could have beaten our effort that day.

But from a one-game standpoint, you are absolutely right. The Redskins flat outplayed the Cowboys IN DALLAS last Sunday. Not even Cowboys fans can argue that they deserved to win that game.

We have to design some screens to portis to kill the blitz if they send it. Hopefully the Dline can step up and Moss and our recievers can come up big. Thomas really needs to get involved with the offense too. How many times did we throw to him in Dallas?
