Redskins vs. Eagles Gameday thread

[Hog's Breath]

Wow! This win just solidified my confidence in this team. Two back to back divisional road wins. Amazing...

Now all we have to do is take care of our business and win the games we SHOULD win. The next three games especially.

I've not seen it mentioned, but that's all 3 divisional road games out of the way - possibly our toughest games all year - and we went 2-1. Now I know that we can't take any divisional games for granted, but based on what I've seen, the only teams I'm concerned about right now are the Giants, Ravens and Steelers. The Gmen reamed Seattle, the Ravens D looks scary and the Steelers play tough regardless of where they are playing. That said, with the Ravens having an almost ineffective O, the Steelers being really banged up, I think the return divisonal games will decide if we can finish top.

Anyone want to bet against a 12-4 record?

Let's not count our egg whites before we make the omelete. We came back because we did not try to make up 14 points on one play. The took to deep ball away from us, so we took what they gave us. We played composed. The same would need to happen for the rest of the season. Its easy to look last the next three or four, but we are not in a position to. Our shit stinks just like Detroit, St. Louis and Cleveland. Let's take them one game at a time.

having real time adjustments definitely helped

True, but can you really say you are concerned about those three teams? None of them have shown anything on either side of the ball compared with the Giants, Cowboys, Steelers and Eagles. None of them have a D like the Ravens. I'm not predicting outright, I'm just saying it would be hard to bet against a convincing winning record.

Our next three games are against teams that are a combined 1-10. Hope they do not become trap games. Just keep putting it to them and the rest of the NFL.

How many times do you see a team lose to another team? Did you see what KC did to Denver last week? Do you remember when the lowly Cowboys beat a better Redskin team? You can't look past anyone. On paper we have owned Detroit since the days of Gary Danielson, but this ain't rock, paper scissors, /i want the team to stay hungry and not look past anyone (as some may have look past us).

You make a good point but I don't think Zorn will let it happen, this guy is no nonsense and I believe he'll stay on top of them. You know if you think back a play here and a play there and we win all these games going away. This offense is gonna be dynamic, We have lots of weapons, And the best part is that this is just the beginning people if we continue to draft well replace the O-line we could be in store for quite a run. Welcome back Redskins!!!!!!!!!!

Just to clarify, I'm not saying we should look past anyone, I'm simply saying as the league stands right now, would you BET against the Skins. For me no.

I hope Zorn keeps them focussed and hungry and if he does, and we can perform at this level each week, then I think many teams will be scared if us. When was the last time we could say that!
