[quote=SmootSmack;742772]I got a question. How many people know the definition of "positive"[/quote]

I do. I never really knew the definition of it before I came here, but from what I've learned from being on this board, I believe it means,"Something that brings to mind negativity and/or depression."

You can add to that, how many people try to follow the topic of the thread?

Re: Redskins vs. Eagles Game - Positives
 

Philly fans can't talk too much smack about us, at least not until the rematch. There's a large positive.

Re: Redskins vs. Eagles Game - Positives
 

For me, a big positive is the overall game plan, on both sides of the ball. We took away Philly's strengths on D, and attacked their weaknesses on O.

Now, this seems obvious enough, and it's not like this was the best coaching day ever, but after the Zorn era, it's a relief to see a team adapt, bounce back, and play smart. They don't always execute, and our talent is not great. But it is nice to have some pros at the helm for the first time in a few years.

I just love how Philly was riding so high coming into this game and they basically came crashing down.

Re: Redskins vs. Eagles Game - Positives
 

Running the ball more...and not blitzing on every down.

You can probably say the same about the Bears.

Re: Redskins vs. Eagles Game - Positives
 

HUGE positive this week was the Skins' linebacker play. Definitely an upgrade from last week.

For'sho. I was so f'ing tired hearing Bears fans thinking their team is the sh%t.

Credit the staff for making personnel adjustments at linebacker

One things for sure. The NFL changes on a week to week basis. More so in the beginning when teams are searching for an identity. Things might stabilize a bit as the season goes on, but odds makers have to be going nuts right now. It's not even funny how hard it is to predict games right now.

-All 8 ESPN analyst picked the Eagles to beat the Skins

-Who would have thought that after beating the Chargers in week 3 that the Seahawks would lay an egg against hte Rams

-The Bears couldn't buy a third conversion. Tonight they looked a lot like the 2008 Redskins so I'm not nearly as jealous as I was last week.

-Browns beat Bengals. I know Palmer is struggling but the Browns?

-Jaguars beat Indy. A win that no one saw coming

-Tenneessee looses to Denver.

Right now picking games is easier with an Ouija board.

Funniest part of this week though: Irvin picks Cowboys as best team in the NFC East. Lol, so the team that doesn't even play and has struggled for 2 of their first 3 games is the best team? Really? What would have stopped them from playing like crap this week? This week should have proven more then any other that what you did last week doesn't mean jack.

Also here's a positive. I have never been in Smootsmack's thing under his name. Usually when your names there, it means you've passed on.

Re: Redskins vs. Eagles Game - Positives
 

I'm usually pretty solid picking games, but I've been downright awful this year. Might as well just flip a coin and pick that way.

It seems that sports talking heads are quick to talk a team up without looking at the big picture.

Look at the Giants, had an awful game against a terrible Carolina team, yet they were being talked up big time going into the 2nd week. They lose two in a row, and now beat a Bears team that was probably hyped up as well.

True.
The Jags have always had close games with Colts in the past couple of years, but they've been on the losing end of most of them.
