Thoughts on Eagles/Redskins

Mattyk · 10-03-2008, 10:16 AM

Have the Eagles faced a defense like the Skins? I think that's a question worth asking. The Skins D has done quite the number on some of the more high powered offenses in the league.

i think this will be a brutal game personally. For both sides, its a must win for the eagles.
Our defense definitely needs to contain their weapons a hell of alot better than they have in the past, and we need to use the blitz against them...soften it with some screens to moss, cooley, thomas or portis.

I think the score will be a little lower on both sides, Skins win 20-17. My usual prediction of pain is also in full effect.

i agree. I think it is going to be how JC reacts to phillys incredible blitz packages. Jim johnson is a genius when it comes to bringing pressure. Look at what they did to pittsburg. This week is true test for campbell and the offense.

Hail to the redskins

Pittsburgh has some serious OL issues, and Ben holds on to the ball way too long at times. Philly has a good D but this isn't the '85 Bears folks.

most definitely it is a beatable philly team. we arent going up against a juggernaut.
I think this team is soft in their zone coverage. I also think that if jc has quick reads the defense will be a non factor..the confidence we have accumulated will make this team seem entirely beatable. WE dont want the arrogance..but this game is pivotal.
It always seems to me that philly/skins games are the most brutal, physical and injury laden out of any game we play. The dallas rivalry is always the most heated and intense and the matchup at Ny always seems to happen on a week that both teams need to win...but the philly games just get NASTY.:FIREdevil

It's the NFC East. So throw out the stats, references to previous games, etc. You never know what is going to happen. I'd say the odds of Philly beating us are about as good as us beating them.

Very true, good point. I seem to be getting an image of Ben R. getting sacked, about 8 times at Philly, stuck in my head. I forget that Dallas (who has a really good offense) stuck it to them). So, maybe I'm overvaluing their D.

They also lost their top TWO RBs, Parker and Mendenhall to injury. Mendenhall for the season.

Mewelde Moore, who was nothing more than a kick returner most of his career, is their starter.

Soon they're going to have to use a 3 TE set and empty backfield on every play to protect their starting QB Dennis Dixon (Ben and Leftwich won't survive). They won't have any RBs left.

According to Doc, Randy Thomas is good to go with Springs, and Heyer probably a no go.
Apparently Westbrook has been in practice yesterday, and today. Don't know to what extent. Our guys on 980am are confident he will play

What a jerkoff, I mean without westbrook why should our D sit. Hell they gave up 20 something to chicago and a billion to the cowboys, Who we just beat. I see most of the experts against us once and, So I hope we use that as motivation. What the **** do we have to do to get some respect?

Jc has seen this before and played well. You gotta remember faneca left pittsburgh and they are very banged up with not much of a running game. They will quick hit on slants and stuff then when philly comes up it will be moss going deep just like against the dallas zone we exposed. newman is as good as their corners and moss ate him for lunch. GO REDSKINS!

I agree. Moss has become a monster in this west coast offense zorn has implemented. As well as JC.

I didn't see a prediction thread so in keeping with the last 3 weeks tradition and superstition, 31-13 Eagles.

Love your passion horse. Sometimes I wish more f*ck@rs would drop the f*ck%ng f-bomb around here

Seriously, I think the answer to your question... win the Superbowl. I'm not predicting. I'm not trying to hype. But we're not going to get so much as a nod from much of the sports-world elite until we take home the trophy, and even then it will be a grudging nod.
