What do you expect in the Philly Game

[RedskinsfaninBaltimore]

16-10 Redskins

I'm the eternal optimist

I'm expecting 3 hours of bashing from the network analysts.

They will start the show like that but as Iggles players start going down from our ticked players taking it out on them it will end.

They're already laughing about us just being on MNF.. unless we do everything right we're getting torn to shreds.

Philly 27
Skins 13

I'm expecting the Bingo Offense to struggle just as mightily as we did with Zorn calling plays. I can't imagine scoring more than 10 points unless the defense or special teams score.

i honestly expect an epic loss. The eagles will be reeling from a nasty and embarrassing loss to the hapless raiders and the skins are the perfect tonic. I expect our much vaunted defense to not be able to keep them under 24 points (bc they'll be on the field a lot) and I expect the phili defense to have 6-8 sacks on a confused redskins offense that will burn timeouts (due to relaying play-calling). I could easily see a 30-6 final. sad but true.

Does any one know how many teams relay plays in? I am of the uninformed belief that maybe as many as ten do. But it seems to be a huge concern to many on the site. If a call player knows his plan and can think one to two steps ahead (zorn's problem, and the cause of many of our delays) I would not think we will see any issues that way.

I think many playcallers use a measurement opportunity to plan 2 or 3 plays, zorn was clear he didn't use it to plan any. I will be glad Tuesday to start seeing threads with titles like "Lewis should be our OC" or "Our offense does have a clue" and going into the bye week on a positive note after all this negativity

I have no idea how many teams relay plays, but our situation is not a good one. For the last 22 games Zorn has called the plays into JC's ear. Now we have one Sherman talking to the other Sherman who then relays the call to JC. A big change. We've had enough time management issues as is. JC was right this week in saying he'll have a play or two in his head in case the call doesn't get there in time.

Sadly, I predict that the offense lays an egg similar to last week, but this time in front of a national audience. How can it improve this week? I just don't see it. Not against a far superior divisional opponent.

We will certainly see on Monday, but I think the time management, and delays were caused by Zorn's methodology. If I understand right, and I really don't know, Zorn waited for a play to end to get the situation for the next play. So in 45 or 30 seconds he had to find the position of the ball get a precise down and distance and then look for the "perfect" play. There were no 2 plays in at a time, or case 1/case 2 scenarios. Thus any wrinkle caused a delay. I hope Lewis is looking ahead, and therefore he can give Smith the play quicker than Zorn could.
Thats my hope and expectation.

we wont score a offensive td with campbell, collins might squeak one out. gonna be ugly.

[Lotus]

I expect to see Haynesworth carry the ball behind the Flying Wedge. Take that, Wildcat!

[CRedskinsRule]

What are the chances Lewis lines ARE behind center, or any other none qb qb?

doubt he tries the wildcat out this early

The game will be ugly and close. The Redskins don't often get blown out. We have a terrible habit of playing down to our competition, but we also play up to opponents better than us.

I work with a lifelong Eagles fan who said this exact same thing about Philly on Monday after their loss to the Raiders. We both agreed that our teams do this and it should be a close, tough game.

We seem to play well against the Eagles...won 3 of the last 4.
