Re: Its Fu**ing Eagles Week!!!!

I say this is a 50/50 game, which is what I said about the lions game last week, so I say this one goes the skins way. 23-21 skins

Re: Its Fu**ing Eagles Week!!!!

Eagles are -3 away. I expect that line to go up a bit, as betting is still moving towards Philly.

[quote=rbanerjee23;757328]I completely agree -- you don't get to suggest bestiality without being on a high note.

About the game -- it's like every other game, a measuring stick to see what is getting better, what is getting worse etc. Banks is gone so a huge spark will be missing on special teams. Good news is that Torain is back and Portis might play as well. Donovan McNabb and the OL really have to pick it up and give some confidence that the foundation for the offense is going to be okay in the long run.

Other than that ... HTTR!![/quote]

Can I use that first sentence as my sig?

[quote=SkinzWin;757374]I surprised at the number of people picking us for 25-30 points scored. I don't see us scoring more than 14 or maybe 17 at most. As far as the final prediction, if we hadn't knocked Vick out the first time, we probably wouldn't have won that game either.

Eagles - 24
Redskins - 17[/quote]

I completly agree. When Kolb came in, they were instantly handicapped. He didn't even try to hit his WRs downfield and they were open. He became the "Checkdown King". If Vick plays the whole game I think they win easily.

Re: Its Fu**ing Eagles Week!!!!

Guys come on. We can't guess on an NFC game. Depends on the wind, and who's got the bigger chip on their shoulder. I don't see this being the game where we put it all together. we got lucky with Vick going down last time.

Re: Its Fu**ing Eagles Week!!!!

I fully expect us to win this game coming off the bye and at home. I think McNabb should be movitated x million. He been called out. When he was benched last by Reid he responded by maybe the greatest stretch of play ever.

This could be the win that changes the season, for better or worst.

Skins 17 Eagles 16

Give me a break! I hate the media...

Re: Its Fu**ing Eagles Week!!!!

As much as I hate to say it, I do not like our chances. When was the last time we played well on a Monday night? The Eagles are a very quick team and quick strike team. They will get their big plays against us. In addition, the only reason we beat them last time is that we ran well against them. Torrain injured, Portis injured, Klieland Williams? Please - I like the guy but we aren't getting morre than 75 yards on the ground with him toting the rock. On top of all that, our LB's, while decent pass rushers and run pluggers, couldn't cover their head if you gave them a hat.

Philly eat's us alive. Grossman starts in the 2nd half.

Philly 31
Skins 14

Everyone said this when we played them the first time.

First I've heard of those comments from Feinstein. I know Jason Whitlock made some similar comments (though he later backtracked) saying something like "I'm surprised Shanahan didn't tell McNabb to sit on the bench and eat some fried chicken" but several other members of the media responded to Whitlock's comments and said this had nothing to do with race, and to play the race card or accuse Shanahan of being racist was out of line. So let's not go and lump the media all together on this

Feinstein is being ridiculous

Re: Its Fu**ing Eagles Week!!!!

I think we win. But my reasons are less football oriented and more personality driven.

1) the Eagles just beat the f***in Colts. That is a pretty good high to come off of.

2) the Skins team looks in disarray(but my gut says they aren't).

I don't think that the Eagles are as much of a front running team as the Cowboys, but I think that they will tend to be over-confident.

I think Vick will play a little more fearless "just to show them they didn't scare him", and that will lead to bad decisions.

Shanahan either was an idiot or evil genius with his benching McNabb. Since I rarely saw him do idiotic things in Denver (mind numbing yes, idiotic no) I think he knows what he was doing, both for that game, and for the season. McNabb has generally responded well when benched, and I think we are going to see a high performance month in November from him.

Yeah Cinci lost, but being a home underdog against a division rival, when you beat them once at their place. I think Shanahan and company will come out and put quite a display on.

The Eagles are not a thundering herd, and will make mistakes. We will just need to capitalize on them.

Ultimately, there's not a lot of football analytics that are going to "prove" we will win, but hopefully my smoke and mirrors have convinced even a legal mind like Joe. This is a game of who wants it most, and I believe when the final whistle is blown, McNabb will be kneeling with the ball and the W.

Skins 24
Eagles 22.

Skins 24
Eagles 22.[/quote]I can't come up with too many football reasons we will win this game. That doesn't mean there aren't any good ones, but it's just that it relies on our players and coaches who have underachieved to this point need to come out and play particularly well out of a bye. It's not rare for that to happen with two weeks to prepare, but I'd say it's a bit unlikely.

I think the fact that the Eagles had an 8th day to prepare for this game negates some of the advantage we got in preparation thanks to our bye.
