You may be right, but.....I cannot believe that. Every one of these guys has MANY years invested prior to becoming a pro that they played with a level of passion for the game I cannot even understand. It's difficult for me to believe you can just turn that off.
Anyway............
I don't think they turn it off more like go through the motions. Plus back to the job and feeding your family theory are you really going to go balls to the wall knowing you might hurt yourself in a meaningless game, thus maybe jeopordzing (sp) your career.

Like many of you I have played team sports throughout my childhood, and into my high school years. If I had any talent, I would have continued into college. I also played in many competitive leagues of one kind or another since then.
I currently serve as an asst. coach on my son's High school Lacrosse team as I have for the past couple of years.
I have always LOVED the juice! The adrenalin that comes with....competing.
I honestly cannot understand the concept of .....being flat?
My God, these guys compete at the highest level on earth. How can there be a problem "getting up for a game"???
I don't get that...........
i played competitive sports all my life too and college lacrosse and sometimes man you just arent into it. its not like your not trying but your head isnt analyzing the field, other times you're very in-tune with the game and look for any lil advantage or pattern to exploit.
this isnt a knock or in reference to coach zorn but in my experience, good coaches make sure your ready for every game, bad coaches will tune out every now and then and its easy for the team to follow suit. also having your star players being vocal and focused every game really allows the less talented players to feed off your leaders energy. ray lewis is always pumped and i havent seen teh ravens D come out flat, ever.
^^^ sorry about that
Heard its going to be cold with possible sleet sunday. awesome!! i really hope the skins come out to play even though theres nothing to suggest we wont get the same effort weve gotten seemingly every home game. really not looking forward to the game but im sure once i get some beer in me and the lights come on i wouldnt want to be any other place. . . .i hope.
go skins!!!

this game probably goes a long way in determining if Zorn stays. if last week the skins couldn't muster any emotion, why would this week be any different?

im wondering if its even worth watching. besides the fact i need Portis or Cooley to get in the endzone, and Fletcher/Landry to score some defense for my Fantasy playoff game. :(
This seasons come down to such a pitiful situation.
AND i believe Zorns gone. regardless of what we do sunday.

28-10 Iggles win :( :vomit:That's pretty much what I predict/how I feel.
The teams has shown no heart the last few weeks so I really can't imagine them just turning it on this week. I'd love to see them come out with passion and fire and play inspired football but I just don't think it will happen.
What a strange season this has been.

The eagles are younger, hungrier and more talented than we are. They should win. But anything can happen.

Let's just say it's either win or bust for Zorn and his staff. I get a feeling the coaches are going to get a massive overhaul when this season is over. As for the Eagles... If we play like we did against the Bengals, and noting the fact the Eagles beat the Giants. The Eagles are just going to have their way with us if we continue to play like we have.
Redskins the past 5 out of 6 games = Set sail for fail.
The SF game next week is actually what's intriguing me. SF is better than the Bengals. And yet SF isn't very good. I actually wanna see our last game more than I wanna see this one.

The Eagles have come roaring back into playoff contention and are riding high. Our team is down in the dumps, and couldn't even get pumped up over the prospects of playing the Chumps from Cincinnati.
Eagles will roll over this team that plays like they can't wait for the offseason.

I'm in the championship game of my fantasy football league( Money League), I need portis to have 45 carries for 300 yards and 5 TDs. Anything else is not acceptable.
The team has to go out and win. They need to impose their will on the eagles. They are playing for pride right now and I expect them to go all out.
You poor bastard!!!!!! Looks like your goose is cooked in both games!!!!! Portis will be lucky to get 100 and one TD. My vote is for them to lay an egg. Why? They didn't show up against the hapless BenGALS, and laid an egg in Cincy, so why not lay down and die against the soaring Eagles!!!
