Looking ahead to the Eagles

Just hasnt had a int or big play yet. Havent heard his name called a lot for the 2 games he played which is kinda a good thing for corners.

I just worry that his play and the way he throws his body around, he wont last 16 games.

Culliver not practicing again today. Not looking good for Sunday.......

We lack serious depth and talent in key positions. Luckily, the Eagles do to. We have had some really good game plans the first two weeks.

Thursday on a short week exposed our lack of talent and depth. So I look for us to bounce back and run the ball well in a rain filled game.

Redskins 33
Eagles 17

I'm also counting on Bradford to throw a few bad balls that get tipped for INT. He has small baby hands and the rain should be a factor.

I'm predicting a smack down. We really put it to Philly this weekend in all phases. They get some garbage points in the end to make it look closer than it is when Dirty Sanchez comes in for an injured Sam.

There is just no way we score 33 points unless we get a td or 2 from the defense plus the rain could be intense. I'd expect like a 17 14 game or even 13 10 ish

The Eagles will have good field position all day because we will punt away from Proles and our team doesn't get sacks.
This is going to be a difficult game but I think bad weather helps us out since we are the better running team.
Sproles will be a problem. Robinson can keep him contained.

Nfl live crew picked skins over eagles...I know it's bizarre to hear national media picking skins in any game.

The reasoning is that skins can run the ball and eagles can't and that it will be important in this weekend's bad weather game...

What's the weather report because I heard rain is low for the game?

As of now, they are calling for rain through Sat. but on and off on Sun. The field will probably get torn up pretty bad tbh. So it still might be a mud bowl even if it doesnt rain much on Sun.

It's always the same. Loss = bad coaching/play calling. Fans put way too much emphasis on this stuff.

We don't have depth anywhere on this team except DL and RB. These guys who are complaining about coaching like we'd be superbowl bound if only we had Tom Coughlin as a head coach drive me nuts. This year isn't about a deep playoff run, we're just trying to get into the mid level. Let's do that first. Tom Coughlin, Andy Reid or Hank Stram wouldn't have this team 14-2 so everybody just relax and appreciate that we are heading in the right direction for once.. Maybe a year or two from now, we'll be there but don't throw out the positives we've seen and start blaming the coaches.. This is a good start, be excited about it..

Stop with the whole strawman bs... No one has predicted a SB trip this year. I said we would be lucky to get to 8 wins prior to the season. However, when we show success at power running, then go away from that on a Thursday night game, I dont feel bad about saying it was bad scheming going into a Thursday night game. We completely rewrote what we did the first two games going into a short week. That is beyond stupid.

It was Not a bad game plan at all..the running game is dictated by so many other factors ..you only get the ball so many times in a game and if you get down by 2 touchdowns you can't really grind it out and expect to come back..the good teams that make big comebacks almost always do it either big pass plays or turnovers resulting in points..I agree that we should try and run as much as possible but that game went against us from the get go and what frustrated me was Cousins not able to make a big play ..if he is going to throw a lot of interceptions he better dang well be able to hit some big plays!

But you cant go off about us being a bad team and then say the good teams do it so we should also. I also disagree about coming from behind. You do whatever gets you points. If grinding it out gives you points but trying to be New England doesnt, then dont try to be New England and go ahead and grind it out. Especially when your non-elite QB was having a bad night. As I said earlier, if KC was on, the play calls would be pretty good. But when he was struggling all night, try something else.

The fact is we went from a power running game the first two weeks to doing a run game out of pass sets. And did it on a short week to boot.
