There is no such thing as a favorable stretch in the NFL. Just ask Denver.

We have a defense though.

I'm WAY more scared of Philly's D than the Cowboy's D. They are generating a lot of sacks and I'm pretty sure their coverage is a lot better than the Cowboys.

That being said, the Cowboys put a lot of points up on them too (and Bears INCLUDING the end zone INT by Orton) so I really don't know how to feel.

No doubt. They are currently #1 in the league in sacks, and #1 against the run. Their LBs are playing fantastic, and despite a shaky outing in the 1st half against Chicago, their secondary is very good. Not to mention they are playing at home and will have a big chip on their shoulder after that loss on national TV on Sunday night. This game concerns me.

If Westbrook doesn't play that will really help, but Jim Johnson's blitz schemes make me fear for Jason's life.

I'm not looking at any game on the schedule except this one.

If we can get a W this weekend in Philly I'll start to feel pretty optimistic about this season and our schedule. But after the choke act we pulled in 96' I won't start counting our chickens until they hatch ever again.

redskinjim · 09-30-2008, 05:00 PM

westbrook kills us.without him we have a better chance. just contain mcnabb and play good defense against the run

InsanePianist · 09-30-2008, 05:58 PM

The line just opened. Redskins are +5 1/2 at Philly.

WaldSkins · 09-30-2008, 06:05 PM

How does ME looking down the road lessen the Redskins chance of winning this week? The TEAM needs to stay focused on Philly but I can dream of a 7-1 start all I want.

The real question is how many wins will it take this year to make the playoffs? I'm not so sure that 10 will be enough.

We do have a favorable schedule coming up and should be no worse than 6-2. It's also pretty exciting to have the NFC East road games out of the way already and we're not even to Columbus Day.

Before Game 1 could anyone have anticipated feeling this excited now!! This has been a GREAT ride so far.

It's looking very good. However has anyone heard if Springs will be back? Cause if he plays jackson like he played t.o. I don't know how philly will score if westbrook stays out. And how about jason taylor I have'nt heard how he's progressing?
