I don't think that the Eagles are as much of a front running team as the Cowboys, but I think that they will tend to be over-confident.

I think Vick will play a little more fearless "just to show them they didn't scare him", and that will lead to bad decisions.

Shanahan either was an idiot or evil genius with his benching McNabb. Since I rarely saw him do idiotic things in Denver (mind numbing yes, idiotic no) I think he knows what he was doing, both for that game, and for the season. McNabb has generally responded well when benched, and I think we are going to see a high performance month in November from him.

Yeah Cinci lost, but being a home underdog against a division rival, when you beat them once at their place. I think Shanahan and company will come out and put quite a display on.

The Eagles are not a thundering herd, and will make mistakes. We will just need to capitalize on them.

Ultimately, there's not a lot of football analytics that are going to "prove" we will win, but hopefully my smoke and mirrors have convinced even a legal mind like Joe. This is a game of who wants it most, and I believe when the final whistle is blown, McNabb will be kneeling with the ball and the W.

Skins 24
Eagles 22.

I can't come up with too many football reasons we will win this game. That doesn't mean there aren't any good ones, but it's just that it relies on our players and coaches who have underachieved to this point need to come out and play particularly well out of a bye. It's not rare for that to happen with two weeks to prepare, but I'd say it's a bit unlikely.

I think the fact that the Eagles had an 8th day to prepare for this game negates some of the advantage we got in preparation thanks to our bye.

Actually Vick said in an interview that the skins game taught him a leason and that he will slide more to avoid the big hit. So I don't think that will be a factor.

I can't find the quote, but he also said, that he's going to play the way he plays, and that's just him.

"You know what? I play this game the way I play it," Vick said. "I'm not going to change. I think I did a good job of protecting myself at times, and times when I knew the hit wasn't going to be as devastating I was able to protect myself.

"But I'm not going to play this game scared or hesitant or conservative. I'm going to go out and give it 110 percent and everything I got. At the end of the day I want to tell myself I gave it everything I had and didn't hold anything back. It's just me playing my game."

The #Redskins will be making their 60th appearance on MNF. Only 6 #NFL teams have played more games on Monday Night.

If the #Redskins find a way to beat the #Eagles on Monday Night Football, they'd be 3-0 in the NFC East for the first time since 1991.

You forgot to add we will still be two games behind the division leading Giants, who unless explode mid season, will be almost certainly a lock for the division title. We would still be lucky to get a wild card spot with the way our schedule is down the stretch even if we win this week. I know, I know, ever the optimist.

First, I just quoted some twitter facts, I didn't really add or delete anything.

Second, and to your point specifically, the Giants have been known to collapse late in the season(started 6-0 last year failed to make playoffs). I expect them to lose to Dallas this week(call it a rebound game for the Cowboys more than a loss for the Giants), and we do play them twice, as does Philly, so these next 8 weeks ought to be very interesting. Which is better then the last 8 weeks last year, so I'm ok with that.

I like how your thinking but there is no way Dallas beats the Giants this week.

You are right, the Giants have been known for that. However I think this year is different. The Giants seem to be firing on all cylinders. There is absolutely NO WAY Dallas beats the Giants. If they do win, how about I go streaking through the steets of Philly in nothing but Redskins body paint cursing Andy Reid and their whole lot and see how long I last?? If they lose, then you have to be subjected to more threads started by ace. lol. No offense ace.

If those are the two options, I am rooting for a tie!!!!!

I'll be pulling for you guys this week. I think Philly is the 2nd best team in the conference and the more they lose the better.

I don't agree with your assessment of the NFC.

[over the mountain]

Yeah if vick does the qb slide you cant hit him, if he dives head first like he did against us last game, hes fair game.
