I didn't see a prediction thread so in keeping with the last 3 weeks tradition and superstition, 31-13 Eagles.

[hucapn]

Once again we face McNabb... He's 10-5 against us. He runs for first downs and extends plays for extra time. Number one he must be spied for the entire game. Blache doesn't blitz too much anyway so its not like we're giving up any pressure. I think we need to start rotating those DE's like a hockey line. Let Chris Wislon and Rob Jackson give two different looks on the OT's and it should produce some added pressure. For real, we should let M-Wah(Marcus Washington, sorry) run Jason Taylors spot. He's slowing down a bit, but he has the instincts you need in the flat. But I'm just a rambling fan now... Back to the point. To beat Philly we need to:

1) Win the turnover battle as we have the past few weeks. Even if we don't, don't lose confidence in the fact that we CAN play quality football.
2) Hit McNabb early and often. If I see this m@#%%^er Moonwalking on us again I will vomit

3) Hope Westbrook can't go. It's tough to say, but we're likely to control the game if he's out. I went to Gonzaga so hey, I can hate on a DeMatha grad. lol

4) Give Jason Campbell time to do what he does. He's playing AWESOME football right now. Time in the pocket doesn't just keep him healthy, it allows Zorn to open up that wacky playbook. (And its a good wacky too)

5) Run Portis and throw to Cooley. Can you really go wrong either way?


Five Keys, that should put us in a good spot to win. 4-1 and tied for the division sounds real good. GO CINCI!!!



RIP #21 - Teezy we miss you!

Goat...I couldn't agree more. Hail

westbrook is gonna play.if they don't bottle him better than they did last year in washington,it's gonna be a long day.i sure hope to hell that they have been working on a plan to keep the eagles off of JC too.

[MTK]

Westbrook will play, but the big question is how effective will he be? There's no way he's going to be anywhere near 100%.

To me, this comes down to how we handle the blitz. Jon Jansen at RT really scares me on this day. If the blitz is getting to JC we lose. If he beats it, we win.

It'll be interesting to see how Zorn handles Jim Johnson's pressure blitzes. Expect lots of quick slants, screens, draw plays. Zorn will have to shine as a tactician tomorrow. Though if anyone saw the Eagle-Cowboy game, Johnson didn't blitz nearly as much.

Westbrook ranks right up there with Emmitt Smith and Joe Morris as Redskin Killer-running backs.

I find this interesting coming from the Eagles' home page, Splash Page - Philadelphia Eagles:

What Is Your Prediction Vs. Redskins?

Tough win decided in fourth quarter - 19.2%
I think Eagles are ready for a big win - 36.3%
Everything depends on Westbrook - 17.6%
Defense wins game for Eagles - 14.4%
Not feeling very confident about this - 12.5%

Looks like 12% of their fans are actually intellegent.

Did u all see the espn "experts" picks? One person picked the skins.

I think we have trouble today. Westbrook is playing whereas Springs and Taylor are not. We are a good team, but good teams don't win em all. Philly 27, Wash 17.

JC - 220 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT, 1 FL, 4 sacks
Portis - 21 carries, 65 yards 1 TD

McNabb - 275 yards, 3 TDs, 1 INT, 1 sack
Westbrook - 17 carries, 104 yards

What is up with Springs? My tolerance for his "injuries" is growing very thin. I can say the same for Smoot, even though he's not out right now.

He's old. I'm sure this is his last year. But if he can get healthy and play in the big games towards the stetch then I'm happy. If he gives what he can before he retires you won't see me complaining.
