Redskins vs. Eagles predictions

[BleedBurgundy]

Redskins 21
Eagles 20

I think we see our passing game improve with Moss catching the ball and helping to extend some drives. Our pass d has to improve and hopefully our coaches have worked on Carlos a little bit. Eagles may look past us and be thinking about running up the score to show everyone GB was a fluke. In the end, our D shows last year was the real fluke.

Here is one thing to consider with the predistion - how much will Lito Shepard being out hurt the Eagles pass defense? I predict a win for the Skins and also think we will beat the Giants next week to roll out the season at 3-0. I think our offense will be fine - I think a lot of people are forgetting that the Dolphins defense is pretty darn good and if we can roll up almost 200 yards rushing on them I can't see why we won't have a decent day against the Eagles. The one thing that I am worried about is the Skins generally don't play well on Monday night, but lets hope we shine on the center stage.

I'm predicting another W for us, and hopefully we can rough up that overrated hack, Donovan McNabb, in the process! Andy Reid will wish that his two malcontent kids would get in trouble again just so he won't have to witness any more of the the Skins total annihilation of the Eagles!

See, I laugh at this. I hate the Eagles just as much as anyone. But to say McNabb is overrated is simply ridicules.

We all have our opinions. I think McNabb is about the most overrated QB of the last ten years. I mean, what game can you remember, when the Eagles really needed him, did McNabb show up and play brilliant?

Let's see. If Jason Campbell got us to three straight NFC Championship games, plus a Super Bowl would you be saying the same thing about him? I doubt it. Wasn't Mcnabb having a great year ( w/out TO ) last year before he got hurt? Doesn't McNabb have 153 TD's and 73 Ints and completes almost 60% of his passes? Plus he has great mobility that breaks the defense? C'mon. I know we all hate the Eagles but McNabb is a very very good QB.

I cannot agree at all. McNabb has been a fantastic QB for the Eagles and, frankly, I am surprised that a Redskins fan would say otherwise. He's tormented this franchise an awful lot...and we usually have a great defense.

Moreover, name the last time McNabb had ANY HoF-type WR, TE, or RB at his disposal. I like Brian Westbrook as a fantasy player, but the guy has one 1,000 yard rushing season. With the exception of Tom Brady, most top-notch QBs have a Jerry Rice, Emmitt Smith, etc. Not so with McNabb. That man has done more with less than anyone except Tom Brady.

The loss of Lito Sheppard has helped us and hurt them for several games to come. Whoever is replacing him, we have to challenge. The reason we win this game is because Jason Campbell understands that we have to stretch the field and stay aggressive in the air. Redskins 21, Eagles 14.

'Skins 21 Eagles 17
I predict McNabb gets hurt early in the second half.

Any Redskins fan that picks the Eagles to win this game is dead to me.

Just this game against the Eagles? You're not predicting us to go 16-0 are you?

Sorry dude, but struggling against the Dolphins isn't exactly the mark of a turn-around. There's still a lot of work to do, and one week isn't enough time to work out all the obvious kinks. Expect Jim Johnson to have something special planned for Stephon Heyer or whomever starts at RT.

Don't forget folks, the 'Phins had the ball on our 8-yard line towards the end of the fourth quarter before they self-destructed with penalties. That game could have easily gone the other way, and the mood around here would be quite a bit different.

The way the Eagles have had our number over the last few years, (except 2005), I don't see any way we can win this game in Philly -- at home, we have a chance. But not this week.

Eagles 28
Skins 13
