Re: Eagles v. Redskins Monday Night Football Thread
Agreed, they seemed to only give up in the first half and the defense in general. Once again, I think the Pats game was worst, at least they put up 28 points this time.

What do you mean we were a Banks return from being demolished in that game? We were down by one point before that TD

I do tip my cap to the Eagles. We needed to do something -- anything -- differently to make Vick's job more difficult, and we didn't. It was easy for him. Too many weapons, too much time, and near-flawless execution. I thought other than that, we did enough to win. Just enough offense, dominant special teams. Just couldn't stop anybody. I agree with you completely. Less poor play by the Redskins and more great play by the Eagles. I do think we needed to make obvious changes at the bye week which for whatever reason we never did (Galloway and McIntosh were active, for example).

Vick wasn't good in this game when he was under duress. He was excellent when he wasn't.

Re: Eagles v. Redskins Monday Night Football Thread
The other thing is, if they are not blitzing at least put a spy to contain Vick at all times like Gibbs did with Cunningham. Tonight they put Landry a few times, not all the time and he made them pay with no adjustments.

You had to get him in the backfield. It was the only time you were going to have a chance.

Re: Eagles v. Redskins Monday Night Football Thread
We are just making dumb moves in the FO, and that was t he basis of my early rant. We do things half assed or backwards, and on top of that just have bad luck to top it off. We get a 6 time Pro Bowl QB, but put him behind a terrible O line, with a crappy WR corp. The $78 million extenstion is a huge waste of $$$$$$ because of these facts. We might get a Wildcard spot at some point with Donovan, but I think you can forget even a divisional crown. By the time we get a proper line in place DM will start to morph into Brunell. Don't get me going on the D. IF we get Eli on one of his "on" days the Gmen will get 40+ on us. Although AA is coming on as a threat, Moss is starting toward the downward slope of his production, and will probably be decent for 2 more seasons, if that. The rest of the guys are just bums. Austin should have been given a shot. Not giving the kid a shot sort of negates the reason for drafting him in the first place, and a linemen should have been drafted in his place. We were hoping the bringing in of Allen as GM would have solved at least some of the boneheadedness of the FO, but the demons still need to be exorcised from Redskins Park I guess. So far in 2010 the only bright spots are Banks, AA, and K Williams. Donovan is a better QB than JC, but his stats sure aren't really showing it thus far. We might have to wait for 2012 til we get a winner, and that is if we are able to retain anybody on defense worth retaining.

Re: Eagles v. Redskins Monday Night Football Thread
Only problem is, that's one guy you're taking away from coverage. Last time I checked, Vick threw for 4 TD passes.

Re: Eagles v. Redskins Monday Night Football Thread
Rotate different players, Gibbs regime was successful.

Re: Eagles v. Redskins Monday Night Football Thread
Great article, like i said the pre-game fight fired up the opponent:
Thomas Boswell - Redskins-Eagles pregame scuffle only fired up Philadelphia and exposed Washington

Re: Eagles v. Redskins Monday Night Football Thread
Rotate who? Our fastest secondary players(Hall, Landry, Rogers)? No one in our front 7 is fast enough.

Re: Eagles v. Redskins Monday Night Football Thread
Landry should be benched for the pregame fight. That would be the right message to send after this game.
There are still 10-12 vets that need to be cut from this team. I still think we can win 7 games this year but we need honestly need to play our younger players sooner than later to determine whether they are worth keeping or not... |

We are two games out, 2-1 in the diivision and haven't even played the Giants yet. Why pack it in already? In some ways I think this game is exactly what the doctor ordered...I'm not happy about it, but maybe, just maybe this embarrasment at home on national television will be used to light a fire under all Asses that need lit up... |
