Washington Redskins vs Philadelphia Eagles Gameday Thread

[NC_Skins]

Another god damn ****ing penalty. We will NEVER be a contender with this continuous bullshit penalties we keep occurring.

[Brody81]

Didn't the media think Spurrier was a genius after his first game? And he beat the Pats that year!! Eagles = ( this year 8 & 8) next year (6-10)..

No heart...Catch the ball try to get up field...

exactly we cant, and what was he supposed to do say "im going to play week one, but im gonna be rusty as hell and were probably going to lose"?
we are going to be just fine.

I don't know if you can chalk everything Rg3 is going up to rust. He is overthrowing a lot.

We are young and probably alittle weak in the defensive backfield, but so what - we won the division last year with the same issue. If we still play this sloppy in weeks two and three I will start to worry, but not after one game.

I agree, I think we kind of bought into the hype, the team and fans included, and the team just wasn't mentally ready to play. And the Eagles offense is new (legit so far), and it looked nasty. Shady McCoy is a beast and i'd say he is the 2nd best rb in the league behinds Cyborg Peterson.

Next week they better bring it, Pack don't want to be 0-2 either.

Our uniforms were still better than theirs. Hail.

How does RG3 respond,will the adrenaline be flowing too much? I can see him overthrowing receivers because he's so excited and that could be turnovers.
I think the offense will score some points but I dont think the defense was tested with the shitty teams we played in preseason,so how they respond will be key.The eagles will def test us more than anyone we faced in preseason
I think the game will be close,down to the last possession

you:RGIII always brings his best when the lights are brightest. Still can't believe anyone has any doubts about the guy.

Me:This seems to be aimed at me,I think theres a big difference about having doubts about a guy then what I'm saying.
He is coming off surgery and hasnt taken a snap in a game,this is not like last season.To think that he wont be rusty or excited isnt doubting the guy

But I guess you're right,I did think it would be a closer game

Not the first or last time I'm wrong on something.

Good for you, give yourself a nice pat on the back.

I'll be sure to listen to you the rest of the way without question or disagreement.

Sometimes you just get your butt kicked.

For that one game you were most likely out coached. It doesn't mean it happens consistently. Just for that one game you got outcoached

[HailGreen28]

Griffin taking a lot of hits. And just does not look anything like the player of last season.

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

I want to go back and see how iii was handling this type of pressure last year.

[DynamiteRave]

Woot garbage time score

[CASKINS]
