Smoot Lays The Smack Down (Redskins at Eagles)

[MTK]

I totally avoided the game thread today because I had a feeling it would be chuck full of whining and complaining. The game was much more enjoyable to watch that way.

I'm in total agreement with you here. Dissecting every single pay, chuck full of emotion gets whacky at times.

The game went very much like I expected, division opponent, hard fought physical game, the same as we always get when these two teams play. Vick having to leave early made a difference for the Eagles, and the running game finally came to life. The defense still spent far too much time on the field [especially in the second half]

Looking ahead, based on yesterdays games our next two opponents don't look so invincible after all. It was an ugly game to say the least, but I'd rather win ugly than to lose pretty.
