Skins vs. Eagles Post-Game

[Skins4L]

We lost DHall in that game....

Thats worse than losing Griffin because we have nobody to replace him
And get a surprise pick 6 or multiple pick game. Amerson and breeland are capable and ready to step up but hall shadows the opposing one probally my fav player we got this sucks.

[Skins4L]

Tracy porter??? How does he go from being a #1 in oak last year being a tackle machine not too much blown coverage few nice outings to not being able to get snaps over biggers?

Like my prediction stated, the O was good the D not so much. If this team is going to have to score close to 40 points each week to squeak out wins then its going to be a long season.

Man I love Ryan Clark. Talking about the brawl:

"That's fun. That's just part of the game," Redskins safety Ryan Clark said. "When two teams are fighting hard to win, they're protecting their teammates. ... Those guys were feisty; we were feisty. We're all grown me. We all have egos and we all want to be the alpha male. That's what it was about. That's cool. If we see those guys, we'll shake their hands because they played better than us."

Nick Foles hit sparks brawl in game between Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Redskins - ESPN

One of the two biggest "under the radar" mistakes of the Vinny era was letting him go and signing Adam "Mr. Softie" Archuletta (other was letting Antonio Pierce walk).

It was dumb play by Baker and a cheap shot. Baker and Breeland both dropped gift INTs that coulda lead to a win, Clark should be pissed.

The missed interceptions pissed me off. People pointing to the Cousins interception as one of the reasons we lost, as if no bonafide starter ever throws an interception, are idiots. Foles should have thrown 2 and no one says he should be a backup. I'll take 3 TDs to 1 INT anytime. Any team would.

When a QB throws 48 times there's going to be an INT or two. Do people realize this? We dropped two by Foles. Also with that many attempts there's going to be sacks. Oh wait...

For a guy making his 5th start and is still getting use to all the 1st team WR's, KC was outstanding yesterday. What QB's yesterday played better than he did? Luck? Maybe Foles? And speaking of Foles, he's one hell of a QB.

Keim on Cousins:

Cousins completed 30 of 48 passes for 427 yards and three touchdowns. Yes, there was an interception. Yes, he cooled off in the second half. In fact, according to ESPN Stats & Information, Cousins was 3-of-11 for 68 yards and an interception when the Eagles sent five pass-rushers or more in the second half.

Redskins QB Kirk Cousins shines against Philadelphia Eagles - ESPN

If Cousins is kept relatively clean, he is great - rhythm passer, anticipates the route. When rushed, he throws at the receiver without the anticipation. Expect a LOT of blitzes Thursday night.

Thats a good stat and probably would see similar stats from a QB making his 5th start. I know on one of those throw Roberts got his head and hands around late on a perfectly placed pass. Anticpation on a blitz works both ways, WR have to cut off routes quicker and be ready to make a catch.

I feel bad the 'skins lost, especially to the Eagles. But at the same time, I don't feel too badly about the loss. I actually felt this team continued to progress - with the exception of special teams. No Eagles fan can truly come out of yesterday's game feeling like they don't need to look over their shoulder. They will not win the division outright. It's still going to come down to the last couple of weeks of the season.

Cousins played fantastic, again. And even though Morris didn't have a great day, the dude fights for yards, and anything, he put a pounding on the Eagles' defense. This team is going to continue to improve as the season progresses. It's not going to take Gruden long to have this team winning the division and in the playoffs on a consistent basis.

You can be darn sure that other teams will learn from that.

I don't know what you're watching. He's been blitzed plenty and, for the most part, he's gotten the ball out quickly and made the Defense pay. I hope the Giants blitz. I think they'll get punished for it.

Some of his inaccurate passes had nothing to do with pressure.

And you don't think we'll get better in that area either?

Man, people are touchy about the QB situation. As for me, I am grateful that we have two capable QB's.

I was watching the game where Cousins was 3 of 11 when rushed by 5.

I hope so. We should work on it for sure. As for "either," not sure what you are referring to.

Reading twitter can really give me a headache. A couple things I don't understand from fans after the game yesterday. First the fan that feels they have to talk up rg3 almost in defense because if Kirk solid play and tear down Kirk in the process. And then the fan that wants to talk up Kirk one game this year to tear down rg3.
