Redskins vs. Eagles round II game thread

[mooby]

I'm not gonna go and say Dallas is gonna win the game next week, but the odds are in their favor. Next week we play one of the best teams in the conference and the Eagles play what many consider the NFL's worst team. If there ever was a time that we need to turn things around, this is it. Otherwise we're staring last place in the NFC East in the face.

I will take a lot more stock in Street and Smith and the Sporting New preseason mags from now on. They both were pretty dead on. Last place is where we are heading

This team just lost me a friend, a cell phone, and probaboly three years off my life




I can't take it anymore, physically, mentally or emotionally

This season is toast. Sorry buds, but we will not win another divisional game this season and will only win 3 more games tops. 8-8 is the best I can see us at this point. Right now this team is going nowhere. Hindsight being 20/20, bringing in Gibbs was nothing more than a gimmick by Snyder to keep the Skin faithful in line. This guy is a hollow shell of what he was 15 years ago. If GW gets the HC job it will not only be game over but franchise over. GW isn't HC material. We need to bring Cowher in here if he is available.

[RMSkins]

Absolutely unbelievable. I am still in shock.

[jbcjr14]

Tough loss, fought our guts out and made some mistakes. Suck it up, still not out of this thing and the D needs to change the scheme with that idiot Prioleau back at Safety.

[RMSkins]

If Sean Taylor isn't back next week we might as well not even show up to Dallas. This is clearly a totally diffrent defense without him. 20 points allowed in the last 10 minutes is just pathetic.

[GTripp0012]

While I don't think that we are destined for last place, our chances at winning the division this year just flew out the window. To me, that pretty much means our chance of reaching our ultimate goal, the super bowl, just ended.

It will be a struggle from here on out to get the 6th seed and make the playoffs, especially since the defense is so very bad. Apparently, our "mastermind" coordinator needs 3 good CBs to cover so much as one receiver.

Well, we very seldom get good penetration from the front 4 meaning we need more coverage in the secondary. We were missing a healthy Taylor and Rogers...that doesn't help at all.
If we didn't shoot ourselves in the foot, we win by 2 tds. We need not to self destruct on the field...if we do that, I think we can rival anyone in the league (minus the pats).

I said it before and Ill say it again. The game has passed Gibbs by. The clock mgnt from the sidelines is horrible and it has been for the last 3 years. Couldnt challange the Mcardell play (with the replay shows he did actually catch)

No emotion at all. 3rd and goal from the 7 and we run a draw? Give me a break. He coaches scared. We can all be fans here and still state our opinion. I also agree with some that GW is not the answer at the head coach position.

[GusFrerotte]

No need to start getting nasty towards each other. The Skins are just being the Skins post Jack Kent Cooke era. All I can say is I hope you guys have some backup favorite teams you can root for, either college or pro. Skins will only disappoint you in the end it seems like.

[Hog's Breath]

Definitely disappointing. Though things seem pretty bleak, the season is not over. Loved the way the offense looked today, except near the goal line.

The defense flat out stunk. What I can't understand is, why no blitzing today? Seemed to work pretty well last week.

[WaldSkins]

why do we quit playing d in the 4th quarter....and how do you not see the pass to westbrook coming?? mcnabb throws to the TE and westbrook only. we should of had fletcher and mcintosh on him.. Y no Rush??? if the gmen got 13 sacks on mcnabb couldn we atleast give pressure on him... we are starting to click on offense, and now the defense is in decline.

[henry12portis26]

BLITZ!!!!! What the f@ck is wrong with you... FIRE Greg Willliams ... sure the Offense should have gone for it when they had it close instead of kickin' a FG but our D is horrible at Cover 2... they dumped it off to Westbrook and because of Cover 2 he was able to get blockers in front and run it all the way to the endzone... we blitz 1 time and nearly knock out McNabb ... its been 3 weeks since the blow out and he still thinks his D scheme is good... Gibbs should tell him to BLITZ of find another job ... It was good to see the Offense come together after the blow out ... where the f@ck is the D ... they have the players but drop the Cover 2 our Front 4 cant keep getting pressure on the QB ... We are done the seasons over we're 5-5 after next week unless our D gets good and quick... I Hate Gregg Williams ... he is startin to wear his tenure as a 'Skins coach thin... really thin

[jrtmolar]

another issue with the coaching staff is the dumb penalties. Its a total lack of disipline. false starts? 12 men on the field? C'mon
