Redskins vs. Eagles Game - Positives

We got lucky.

Agreed...but luck is not something we've seen a lot of recently...I think we've lost like 20 of 27 before today or something.

So far, we are 2-2.
Lucky in 2, unlucky in 1...and just bad last week.

We need one in the "good" category to even things out a bit.

Here's a positive. After going 0-6 in the division last year, we're now 2-0 against division opponents.

Portis is running much harder

We got lucky.

1. Donovan should have stayed in bounds.
2. Heyer should have stayed on-sides.
3. Carlos should use stick-um.

The positives: We overcame them all to win the game! (Something that simply would not have happened under Zorn).


:food-smil

Armstrong should have stayed in bounds as well. What the hell was that?

Eagles had some luck too, if Armstrong doesn't get tackled by the turf the game isn't even close.

An overthrown ball.

I'd like to see a balance beam at Redskins part, and to see Fred Davis and Armstrong on it. It was a helluva catch by Armstrong though, and his second one (though out of bounds) was even better. I think the wind may have affected the accuracy of deep passes.

The wind was definitely a factor.

Yeah, reminds me of that time where I chased tornados with Dylan McDermott.

Crap did I just make a Family Guy joke? Anyway yeah, it reminded me more of the infamous Giants/Skins game back in 2007.

Jjajaja. Mike Sellers did the hurdle in this game as well. Good for him not getting overshadowed by Owen today.
