Eagles v. Redskins Monday Night Football Thread

[SmootSmack]

Nice to see guys like Lorenzo Alexander never quit yesterday, but he never does anyway

Great to see Darrell Young score his first NFL touchdown on the same day his brother, serving in Afghanistan, got to see him play for the first time

Nice to see CP change his plans to sit in a suite and be on the sidelines to provide support to Keiland Williams

Ok, now that that's out of the way. The bad (in no particular order)

1. Eagles were already fired up after DM5's YT video after the first game and they built on that with their, I believe, perceived slights from the Redskins about D Jax's concussions and the spitting allegations against Landry. Would have been nice to see that same intensity from the Redskins

2. Kareem Moore continues to frustrate me. He's like a poor man's D Hall except he's hardly the ball hawk he was earlier in the year

3. Lack of discipline by the D. The reason, in my opinion, the defense looks better to some versus last year is that last year's defense sacrificed big plays for discipline. There has to be a balance

4. Joey Galloway. Seriously? I mean, I believe that Terrence Austin has a future with this team and I believe the Redskins believe that. But what's to be gained from keeping him off the field for Galloway this deep into the season. Will be interesting to see what the WR corps is next year. Will Moss return? Will Kelly finally be healthy? Will they trade for Jackson?

5. Haynesworth's "Nap" So sad, it was comical

6. Ryan Torain: My man's gotta stay healthy and MS has gotta keep more than RBs active

7. Keiland Williams: Needs to improve his pass blocking

8. I had to watch the game with members of the Eagles front office. That was absolute hell

End of the day, the performance was sad and inexcusable. But I'm not bothered by the blowout itself. What's disappointing is blowing a win against the Lions, having two weeks off, and then putting in the poor effort we did last night. Momentum is not on our side right now. Skins need to pick it back up.
