Redskins vs. Eagles round II game thread

[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.

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.

Thank you sir.
I just don't get some of these people. It's like they are enjoying our losses or something.
There are way more productive ways to display your frustration...look at Matty (yes, I know, I don't normally use him as an example, but he's good at this...) he came on here all pissed, and instead of kicking the skins, and skins fans when they are down, he made observations on WHY we lost...such as the penalties killed us. That is productive, and that is respectable. Saying we're going to lose to the cowboys before we even play is nothing good, and doesn't serve anyone good including the person that says it.
I don't know about you, but I'm going to go to the corner, lick my wounds from this game, cause it stung, and then I'll be ready to cheer for the Skins every single freakin minute of the Cowboys / Skins game. They deserve no less from us.

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

[WaldSkins]

You dont need to beat the redskins..... All you need to do is come to the game and theyll hand the game to you..

Season isn't over mathematically Hog, but we had this game won it seems like. Other than Buffalo and maybe Chicago the other games are more apt to be regarded as future losses. Portis gets like 130+ yards on the ground and we still lose. We will lose next weekend and very likely againt TB in TB. If we go 0-2 during the road trip season is over for sure. A win in NJ over the Gmen isn't in the cards unless Dallas bashes the hell out of them today.

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).

Exactly, we look like the most disorganized team in football almost every Sunday. If that is not a direct reflection of the coaches I don't know what is.

[RMSkins]

If we don't go 5-2 in the remaining games the playoffs are out of reach.

[DynamiteRave]

Hey anything can happen. The Saints have won 5 games it a row. It COULD happen.

I'm with you jsarno, whilst it feels my heart has been ripped out right now, it won't stop me from cheering us on next week and each successive week.
Surely the past couple of seasons alone should prove to the non-believers that whilst there are games left or time on the clock it isn't over ...

13-0 down to Dallas, then 2 x bombs to Moss to win

The Troy Vincent FG block, Sean Taylor return and susequent Redskin FG to win

5-6, then ripping off 5 straight wins to make the playoffs in 05.

Hopefully the Giants will kick some Cowboy ass to help me feel a bit better, heck Romo could tear an ACL in the next 2 hours, ANYTHING can happen guys - come along for the ride!

Oh absolutely it can happen, but we have a lot of work to do to get there.

Almost an impossiblity at this point. This team doesn't even respond that well with a gun to its head. After the almost for sure Dallas schlacking next week, I fully expect a total breakdown. Buffalo and Chicago at home are our only real good bets at posting Ws now. If we really played good D at TB we could win that, but not certain now.
