Is it Sunday yet? no

BAD NEWS, Springs may not play
The Associated Press: Springs appears unlikely for Redskins vs. Eagles

Westbrook will likely play and Jason Taylor likely wont.
This sure evens things up...this is gunna be an uphill fight

That is huge... Springs is the lynch pin of that secondary. Time for our other guys to step it up. Carlos is really impressing me so far.

well i just played the eagles in my fantasy madden franchise and ben roethelsberger led the skins to a 21-0 win and maurice jones-drew had a big game as well. i predict an identical replica, but don't get too excited because calvin johnson will tear an abdominal muscle in the game too :/

Some Note Worthies:
1. Some good match ups to watch are JJ vs. Juqua Parker (DE) and the reverse, Carter vs. Tra Thomas. Who will own who?
2. True, DeSean Jackson IS good for one bone head play sunday. But be honest, hasnt he performed better than most rookie WRs this year, if not most vets?
3. Buckhalter is no Westbrook. I needn't say more.

Hurry up Sunday, we can't wait any longer.

I believe that Jim Johnson will dial up his full complement of blitz packages, and the outcome will be determined by how well the Skins O-line and Campbell cope with them. If Campbell hits a couple big plays in these situations, I like the Skins chances. If he's hit and lays the ball on the ground, it could be a long day. Regardless, I'm expecting one of the most physical games of the year - NFC East RULES!!!

Dear Philly fan,
I can dignify your jackassery (endorsed by MK72) no longer. This game is being played and the results already known on a higher plain than perhaps you understand. Andy and the boys are mere pawns........Destiny, as the victory, resides with the Skins.
And....don't forget to smell the roses

GusFrerotte · 10-02-2008, 11:35 PM

I would say Skins, but it looks like Westbrook is going to play and we are going to be without Shawn back there. Who is Shawn's backup? He is going to get picked on I bet. Other than that, I think we will be in fine shape to take the game. JT being out will hurt a bit, but nothing the other members of the crew can't handle. Westbrook isn't going to be 100% if he plays either. I am just bummed Shawn is out for such a big game. After the Eagles, the strength of schedule isn't so bad for a few weeks IMHO. He definitley could have missed the Lions game. but not this week!!!!!

SeasonTicketHolder · 10-02-2008, 11:53 PM

I'm starting to question Shawn Springs' toughness. I'm sure I'll get bashed for this, but we REALLY need him to play this week. He already missed one NFC east game, and we paid for it greatly. I don't really trust Smoot starting this game.

gibbsisgod · 10-03-2008, 07:39 AM

According to the fantasy experts, we are going to have a horrible week

Barber should bounce back in Week 5; TE Davis losing value fast

He has Campbell as a Sit'em, Portis, Moss, and our D under the Sit'em category.

In contrast, McNabb, Jackson, and their D as either Start'em or sleepers.

We all know that this means nothing. Its like the guy on ESPN that told people to sit Larry Johnson last week. How'd that work out?

Almost every so called "expert" is picking the Eagles. Which is a good thing in my opinion. When the skins are doubted they play so much better. I pick the skins by 10.

KLHJ2 · 10-03-2008, 08:36 AM

Since I cant get a prediction thread complete with poll, I am going to have to do this here. The Eagles are looking to pick up the pieces after a close loss to the Bears last week and they will be ready to play. The Skins will be slightly overconfident after last weeks win in Dallas. I am going to take Philly in a close one at home. Thier defense will smother us this week and their offense will do just enough to outscore us.

Philly 13
Washington 10

Hog1 · 10-03-2008, 09:32 AM

Obviously this game will be no party.
I just heard on 980am in DC (as I have not kept up on the IR), Springs, Thomas, Heyer, did not practice again yesterday, and are doubtful for the game. Additionally, we already know that Jason is out and Andre Carter has been out on personal business (not sure of his status). THAT is alot of primetime problems.
The Eagles are hungry and will not go away voluntarily. This game will have to be TAKEN from them.........the old fashion way. MAN, this could be a real dogfight!

redsk1 · 10-03-2008, 09:58 AM

Yea, i don't know that we've seen a defense like the eagles yet. I'm kind of worried about that. The Giants might be close and we all know how that turned out. So, it's going to be tough going I believe. Let's hope our defense shows up in a big way to help the offense out.

Hog1 · 10-03-2008, 10:04 AM

JZ to JC
"ok, half step drop and THROW!"

Dallas scored 41 points against the Philly D.
Dallas scored 24 against the Skins D (17 before the last-minute TD).
