The Eagles are a better team. I have no idea why so many people thought we could beat them w/ Vick. Did anyone watch the Detroit game? Or Chicago? I honestly saw this coming, but not this bad of a beat down.

Hey look, Haslett oversaw a defense that couldn't get a lick of pressure on Vick. It led to a record setting day for the Eagles and an embarrassment for the Redskins.

I don't really know what could have been done to fix that. Send more guys maybe? Blitzing in a rainstorm almost never works unless you can get a free rusher.

That was the difference in the game. They blitzed and got free rushers, we were blocked all night. Kyle should have max protected and let McNabb go down the field and made it a shootout. Because Vick was going to torch us once the rain started regardless of scheme.

Trent Dilfer just talked about Vick like he just saw Jesus. LOL.

Ugly loss. This is why you need to put away teams like Houston and Detroit when you have them beat. Season is absolutely not over but Skins have some work to do

Good night guys!

We got pressure on Vick 5 times in this game. He was 0-for-4 passing on those plays, with a 13 yard scramble.

We didn't get pressure on Vick...a lot of times. He was, uh, really, really effective on those plays.

Everyone should be held accountable, from Vinny and Snyder for mortgaging the future by trading away picks and signing over paid FA to Shanahan for switching to a 3-4 when the 4-3 was just fine and hiring Haslett. The only way this team will succeed again is by letting people like Galloway go, promoting Austin, IR Portis, promote Davis for now. Cut all the old players and concentrating in the draft.

I'm not here to set anybody straight, but I will call it like I see it. Yes I will keep it real whether it hurts or not. Tonight it hurts like hell. I hope I never feel a sting this painful ever again.

Tripp you keep mentioning the pass rush but we don't really have any pass rushers outside of Orakpo and sometimes AH. Do you suggest Haslett start going blitz happy and let Macklin and Jackson run loose? Sometimes you just have to tip your cap to the other team. They were just better in all phases.

Hey we have the best divisional record still.LOL Game started bad and went down hill. Our D & O are ranked at the bottom for a reason and it showed tonight. They scored so quick we did not have any chances for any trunovers which is the only thing saving us all season. I'll probably stick to the parking lot for a few days as this site will be fire everyone thread after another. I will say I was impressed with how the players did not give up.

At what point did the Redskins have the Lions beat? We never led by more than 6 and we were a Brandon Banks kickoff return from being demolished in that game as well.

Well the team sure look like they quit today. But, I still think the Pats game (a.k.a. How Darth Hoody ran up the score one us) was worst.
