Redskins vs. Eagles Week Four

[skinsnut]

I agree that Bidwell must go...but keep in mind...some of the snaps were high (as ususal) which certainly affects a punters timing with 10 guys coming to kill him.

Even if we do get a different punter, we will still have the same long snapper issues.
Don't be suprised if we have more botched FG's and blocked/poor punts.
Lets look at the whole picture...too bad Red Snapper was snapped up!

Also....I LOVE that we actually won....did not expect that in the least....but the reality is that the Eagles beat themselves and we still gave them a shot to win on the last play...which they should have since their WR had 2 clean hands on the ball. This is the same way we beat Dallas...we didn't "win"....Dallas beat themselves. The majority of teams will not self destruct like this... Maybe I am greedy....but I'd like to see us WIN a game legitamately, without needing to depend on the other team screwing up to barely lose to us.

At this point, we should be good enough to close out opponents with the ball in our hands when we have a 2 score lead in the 4th quarter. I still do not agree with rotating Olinemen...I believe it disturbs the cohesion of the line...But I did like some of the up the gut power rushing calls that Portis excels at. It seems Torrain likes to stretch it out...unfortutely, he doesn't have the speed to pull that off consistantly...he needs to learn to take it up the gut more like Portis...Hopefully experience teaches him that.
I sure am glad the Skins ran a lot more today, there was no need to abandon the run last week averaging 8 yards a carry.

I would like to see DT in the passing game....and they should use Banks in motion on a fake reverse if we get enough time to pull it off. He may be better as a decoy than with the ball in his hands. I also noticed Banks did not return critical late game punts....a wise move.

Oh yeah....What was McNabb doing running out of bounds?....that would have made them use their final time out....and the Eagles may have gotten the ball with 30 seconds left rather than 1:15 or so.

Also....on a 3rd and 6 with 2 minutes left...you should probably go for it with a pass with the worst defense in the league....something very safe...I won't argue with the results though.

Who was this new Haslett? Kolb in the game and almost NO blitzing at all? Is the guy all or nothing?....reminded me of Blache a bit.

All in all....a win is a win....I was cringing at the end after the missed picks and was expecting a loss...the same exact thing happened with the Texans....but this time....they lost...therefore....WE WON!!!

YES.

Now lets hope all our other opponents continue to play with a banana peel in there shoes.
