Why is it so crazy to think the Skins could win a home game against a team they have a 5 game win streak against??

Me too. I don't read it as anybody saying that the idea that the Redskins can win is crazy.

And yes guys, the oddsmakers have us as the worst team in the division. Our over/under number is 7.5. It's 8.5 for the Eagles. Vegas views Philly as the ever so slightly better team.

When the line was published initially, we were favorites by 1.5. Now a lot of money has come in on the Eagles so the line has moved to pick em.

It is a coin flip game.

Nobody is saying there's no hope, or that it's a crazy notion that we could win. I think we'll win a hard fought battle, myself.

It's not like we're favored by 9 and fans are picking the Eagles here. It's a pick em.

I don't get why the Eagles are getting so much respect. Even the oddsmakers have the game as a pick, so they're basically saying the Eagles are better. Maybe they know something I don't.

NM guys, I didn't realize this was so hard lol

I was simply responding to Meks saying he wasn't optimistic about the Skins winning, and others have predicted a double digit loss

Lol yea, its a gut feeling and given where i live.... i WOULD have to suffer through a week 1 loss in an eagles bar dealing with ass hats masquerading as football fans.... my gut feeling says the Defense wont cover Jeffrey, and they will run on us.... it also says that the loss of our WRs will take time to recover from... if we crush Wentz early and often maybe we have a shot.... but I just havent seen enough out of this team yet to feel confident. The skins havr conditioned most of us for heartbreak.... i dont really expect much different this week but i really, really hope I'm wrong.

24-10 Skins

[over the mountain]

Its a toss up for me, 50/50 .. I just think the offense could come out rusty, timing off on timing routes.

Probably going to come down to what happens on the last possession for the losing team.

Any trick plays w Pryor tossing one? A la portis or Antwan?

56-0 Skins

Cousins -- 28/33, 375 yards, 3 TDs (1 rushing)
Pryor -- 1/1, 7 yards, 1 TD (to Doctson); 11 rec, 125 yards, 2 TDs
Doctson -- 8 rec, 103 yards
Crowder -- 5 rec 65 yards; 2 return TDs
C. Thompson -- 5 rec, 75 yards
Gallette -- 2 sacks, 1 FF
Kerrigan -- 2 sacks, 1 INT for TD
J. Allen -- 1.5 sacks
R. Anderson -- 1.5 sacks
Norman -- 2 INT
Fat Rob -- 120 yards, 1 TD
Samaje Perine -- 65 yards (knocks out a blitzing Fletcher Cox)

Doesn't hurt to dream.

Sigh.

OK -- for real, 27-24 Skins, blocked FG at the end of regulation seals it.
