The Gud, the bad and the Great. Eagles Post Game Reactions

Nice to see a game winning drive for a TD. I told my son that it wasn't going to happen, and I'm glad I was wrong. That Philly D was wore out by the end of the game after being on the field over 40 minutes. Nice to see them get some good gains running to the right side too.

Overall I think it was a great game plan. Nice mix and it didn't look like they were limiting Kirk. Unlike last week he was pretty accurate too. This one should go a long way to boosting his confidence, and the coach's confidence in him.

Still need to cut down on the penalties - way too many. Some bad calls in my opinion, but that has to get cleaned up...

Good - Total Team victory, hard to pick just one MVP for this one but some candidates are. Kirk, Thompson, Crowder, Garcon, Baker, Murphy, Alf.

Our kicker has been awesome

Bad- Officiating, the personal foul calls were a joke and the non-PI calls when our receivers were getting mugged.

Roberts being in-active (j/k accountability is a good thing)

Ugly = See Bad

I get why they stay with the running game. It's who we are on offense and it's our identity. We have an identity now which we haven't had since Gibbs 2. But it just seemed like yesterday it was time to go w/ your QB and either let him win it or lose it. The running game was not working at all. But it was nice to see Morris get that last drive going with some good cut back runs. That last drive the Eagles D looked tired.

I usually say bad calls even out and realize officiating an NFL game is not easy. This time it was obvious the Redskins got the worst of the bad calls.
They need to review all personal foul calls. It really burns me when a defender
gets flagged for helmet to helmet when he was diving to make a tackle at the
waist but the runner lowered his head at the last second causing their heads to hit.

Overall great game that should be a major confidence builder, blowing a 13-0
lead and coming back with a late 4th quarter 90 yard drive to win.

Those refs were a big pile of horseshit yesterday. That entire crew should have been fired right after the game. Can not believe those calls on Robinson. Just pure BS.

Leading up to that last drive, the previous Gruden called plays were 5 straight passes which lead us off the field with zero points. Yes it comes a time where a QB will have to make a play; you know its the NFL, but we cannot afford to abandon with run. I thought we ran the ball against a stout run defense just fine. Look 125 yards rushing for a game is a success.

The reason the Eagles defense looked tired was us controling the clock running the ball.

I thought Jay had his best game yesterday. Maybe so far in his tenure. Loved the boots and taking shots down the field. I thought the draw on 3rd and long shows growth. Stuck with the run. I saw good reads by Kirk and Gruden gave him easy throws. Getting Crowder involved in the passing game was maybe the best call by Gruden this year. Garcon/Crowder were a solid combo.

I really hope Desean can get his ass back on the field soon.

I am thinking that as Crowder works his way into the offense and practicing with the 1st team, Cousins will gain confidence in him. Every time I watch film of Crowder he is separating from DB's - at some point it's not just the scheme getting him open.

As a QB, if you know a guy is going to be open regardless of the play called, you start looking for him and using him as the goto guy. It happened with Reed and RGIII (when they weren't injured), there was a trust that if RGIII put the ball in his vicinity, Reed was gonna catch it. I see the same happening with Crowder.

Havin all sorts of fun with the Iggles fans here at work in South Jersey today.
Edit: I work at a car dealership and I have to send loaner car requests to different people for certain customers. Give them a name, customer number, what kind of vehicle they drive, and any special requests. Sent one to an Iggles fan who is always talking today.
Subject line : loaner request for a VIP
Name: Kirk Cousins
Cust # : 2320
Drives: A 2016 Washington Redskins team to victory
Requests: something with come back seating.

Also it is funny what winning and losing does to peoples opinions of play calling. Players executed when they had to yesterday.

"– After playing only 44 snaps in the first three weeks, sixth round rookie Kyshoen Jarrett (CB +3.1) was not overmatched versus the Eagles. Playing every defensive snap, Jarrett allowed three catches on seven targets for 23 yards. While his work in the passing game was very good, it was Jarrett’s work in run support that was impressive for a rookie corner; Jarrett had two stops in the run game on 17 run plays. If Jarrett is able to preform at a good level verse the run and pass, Washington should do well against teams that want to run outside."

Top performers:

OLB Trent Murphy (+6.1)
CB Kyshoen Jarrett (+3.1)
