Eagles v. Redskins Monday Night Football Thread

We got pressure on Vick 5 times in this game. He was 0-for-4 passing on those plays, with a 13 yard scramble.

We didn't get pressure on Vick...a lot of times. He was, uh, really, really effective on those plays.

Tripp you keep mentioning the pass rush but we don't really have any pass rushers outside of Orakpo and sometimes AH. Do you suggest Haslett start going blitz happy and let Macklin and Jackson run loose? Sometimes you just have to tip your cap to the other team. They were just better in all phases.

Hey we have the best divisional record still.LOL Game started bad and went down hill. Our D & O are ranked at the bottom for a reason and it showed tonight. They scored so quick we did not have any chances for any trunovers which is the only thing saving us all season. I'll probably stick to the parking lot for a few days as this site will be fire everyone thread after another. I will say I was impressed with how the players did not give up.

Wrong.....Seasons over!

As far as playoffs are concerned.

Ugly loss. This is why you need to put away teams like Houston and Detroit when you have them beat. Season is absolutely not over but Skins have some work to do

At what point did the Redskins have the Lions beat? We never led by more than 6 and we were a Brandon Banks kickoff return from being demolished in that game as well.

Only for quitters

Well the team sure look like they quit today. But, I still think the Pats game (a.k.a. How Darth Hoody ran up the score one us) was worst.

Agreed, they seemed to only give up in the first half and the defense in general. Once again, I think the Pats game was worst, at least they put up 28 points this time.

Yes. that game was worse.

We should have been smarter with the football with the lead and the ball with under 5 minutes to go.

What do you mean we were a Banks return from being demolished in that game? We were down by one point before that TD

More blitzers might have been necessary in the course of the game, as you can't just decide to not get to the quarterback, but the field was slick and two years ago I lambasted Blache for not adjusting his gameplan to the conditions. I think Haslett was at least mindful of that, though he was never going to win with no pressure.

I do tip my cap to the Eagles. We needed to do something -- anything -- differently to make Vick's job more difficult, and we didn't. It was easy for him. Too many weapons, too much time, and near-flawless execution.

I thought other than that, we did enough to win. Just enough offense, dominant special teams. Just couldn't stop anybody. I agree with you completely. Less poor play by the Redskins and more great play by the Eagles.

I do think we needed to make obvious changes at the bye week which for whatever reason we never did (Galloway and McIntosh were active, for example).
