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.

I typically get a good indication of how the Skins will look offensively and defensively (with the understanding it's JUST preseason), but honestly I don't know what to expect. I think this week we'll have a hard time running the ball against the Eagles front.

I think Philly will live and die by Wentz. If he doesn't show any improvement or we DO defensively (which I think our run defense has improved along with our LBs) I think the Eagles will have a hard time. They keep writing about Torrey Smith like he's some savior. Let's be real, his best years are behind him. He MIGHT do what Wentz does best, but I'm not scared of him. I was more worried about Jordan Matthews.

If we win, it's a close one 20-17.

This game is up for grabs. Gruden has not won a season opener since he's been here. I think the offense starts slow but gets in gear by the fourth quarter.

I just want the defense to show up and dominate.

The homer in me says.
21 - 17 skins win

Will be interesting to see how well Darby(a local) handles the NFC East receivers,he was good on a bad Ryan defense lets see what happens now.

I'm more worried about Alshon Jeffery to be honest. Norman didn't exactly shut him down last year and now he's playing with a competent qb. Torrey Smith might make a few plays but he's never been a consistent playmaker.

Hope your house, and all ur friends n family are ok when u get back. Im not really sure but about a good place to watch the game....id imagine it wont be hard to find one in DC though. HTTR

Im so all over the map about this. My pessimist half is saying we have won five in a row and they are due and sees the potential for us to come out completely out of sync on offense and still not fully rebuilt on defense.
My optimist half says we have won five in a row because we own them and we have the more experienced quarterback with a vastly improved defense. Ill go with that half ....
Skins - 27
Birds - 16
