[quote=12thMan;239641]good catch, 724.

Why is my thread getting jacked!?[/quote]

It's not, the eagles suck and the Redskins will play much better with our men, Vincent and Springs, leading the secondary. I think Vincent earned instant leadership with that blocked kick. He'll have a couple of tips about playing McNabb and the other guys on the secondary will probably have a more receptive ear.

[quote=724Skinsfan;239638]Someone else has too, it would appear.[/quote]

Yep, I love wine.

Re: Next on Deck: The Eagles
 

Agreed 724. Vincent should get the nod over Arch this week, despite the contract issue. Springs may be feeling better physically too, who knows.

But the longer Arch stays on the bench the better.

I said this in another post, but Vincent's interview after the game was quite clear. The problem with the Skins in the new coaching staff and the play calling. He said when he came on board that the players were very unhappy with the play calling and there was a lot of bad blood... but that he was trying to get them to relax and just play football.. hmmmm? Sounds like our problem is mental after all.

Hess, when did Vincent say that? Was it on radio...I watched ComCast and didn't hear him say that. Bad blood??

I saw it on the local news. He said that when he came on board that the players were frustrated and upset with the coaching staff and play calling, but that he knew there was talent and everyone wanted to win so he was trying to get the guys to relax and just play football. He said at his age he know he wasnt the answer and only wanted to add value to a team that was not balanced. He was trying to be vague, but it was quite clear.

I can see it now...

Greg williams: "Yo, double A, sorry to call so late but I wanted you to know that the game time has been changed. No really! Since it's gonna be a hot playoff implicating game they're changing it to Monday night. Remember how they added that "flex schedule" for the latter part of the season? Well, this is one of those times. See you Monday night!

Re: Next on Deck: The Eagles
 

If we are trying to win the division, this is most likely a must win.

But I understand that this is by far the toughest game we have left on our schedule. Really the only truly unfriendly environment we have left vs a good team. Considering that 10-6 probably gives us a playoff berth, I wouldn't write the season off if we lose.

We will need a certain degree of luck to win this game. Having Andre Carter will help vs the Eagles passing game. If he can be disruptive consistently, we can win this one.

I don't know what you've seen Andre Carter do this season that leads you to believe he'll suddenly show vs. the Eagles. That beind said, whatever pressure he provide will definitely impact the game. But it would be nice to see him have his best game of the year.

Re: Next on Deck: The Eagles
 

philly has a better line/QB and a better team. we'll see how we do. dropping the eagles games means 3-3 BEST case for the division, which means we won't have tie breakers (our NFC record isn't hot either).

Re: Next on Deck: The Eagles
 

definitely a winnable game, it wont be easy, but winnable. the eagles havent beat anyone of class yet, and are the most overrated team in the league right now IMO. coming off a bye week though i think...figures

Re: Next on Deck: The Eagles
 

I dunno Big C, the Eagles are a very dangerous team. They've looked very inconsistent, but they've looked dominant at times. I just don't know which Eagles team is going to show up. The Eagles throw the ball very well and Lord knows our secondary has trouble covering.

the eagles and cowboys have had by far the easiest schedule in the nfc east. they got the niners and packers as their other games besides the required ones of the nfc east, while the skins have got the vikings and rams, giants have got seattle and chicago, and cowboys got detroit and arizona. however, the eagles have already played both the niners and packers, had the easiest part of their already lightened scheduel, and are only 4-4. they have lost 3 ina row. however, the reason i am worried just a bit is because they are coming off a bye, already 2 teams we have had to face in nfc east after a bye (giants). eagles have an average defense at best and no running game.

Re: Next on Deck: The Eagles
 

Mean Green will be ready. We made them look bad twice last year. We will have to play even better than we did today.
