Skins vs Eagles week 1

Skins 74 - Eagles 0

I feel that the skins will activate Pat White for Eagles game and he will be involved in some type of gadget/wildcat play, similar to how the Jets used Brad Smith.

0% chance that happens.

Plenty of us were probably saying the same thing last year prior to the New Orleans game.

40 points later...

I knew we'd score against New Orleans. I thought we'd get 31 and they'd get 38. But I think RG3 plays a good enough game for us to win. He just has to remember that he doesn't have to do it all by himself. Having a healthy Garçon and Davis back is going to really help this offense, an offense that I expect to be in the top 5.

I have no ideal how to call this game.We looked great in preseason but the teams we played were no test,they all sucked.The 4 teams we played were a combined 4-12
How does RG3 respond,will the adrenaline be flowing too much? I can see him overthrowing receivers because he's so excited and that could be turnovers.
I think the offense will score some points but I dont think the defense was tested with the shitty teams we played in preseason,so how they respond will be key.The eagles will def test us more than anyone we faced in preseason
I think the game will be close,down to the last possession

Important thing about our pre-season, and yes overall it's meaningless, is that our offense was effective even without most of the 1st string. Point being that our whole team, especially offense, is on the same page, and executing efficiently. I don't see the Eagles defense as particularly better than any of the starting defenses in preseason, and putting Griffin, Morris and Garcon on the field together is going to be to much for the Eagles. If anything, I worry we get a big lead early, and then let off the gas, and the Eagles make a comeback.

FYI, this just in...

Kick off is still at 7:10 though

I'll be getting off work and by the time I'm home it'll be kickoff! Can't wait

Kick off is still at 7:10 though

So what does that mean that kickoff is still the same, more advertising dollars coming in since it was announced RG is playing?
Sometimes it's really annoying to hear announcers who don't know or like the skins but only care about Rob and talk about him the entire game, even when he isn't playing as did tirico and gruden vs the steelers 2 weeks ago.

I would rather listen to redskin broadcast during games but its not even synced to the action. Why can't Cooley join Fox and have 1 less cowboy in the rotation of skins games?

Um, not sure about that little tangent you went off on. But the start of game coverage is 5 minutes earlier mainly because of this new open:

Peter Berg Unveils ESPN's New 'Monday Night Football' Intro (Exclusive) - The Hollywood Reporter (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/peter-berg-unveils-espns-new-604925)

The 6:55 time has been in place for a while. Schefter's tweet was meant to be a reminder, but it came off wrong

One of the....many things that have impressed me about Robert from the start has been his absolutely....Fearless attitude.
Seems unshakable.

That's also his down fall.

Not trolling DRave. An unshakable belief in three things (1) this team's deep talent and chemistry for which RGIII is the catalyst; (2) RGIII's Michael Jordanesque talent and insanely competitive drive - winning is not enough for this son of sargents conquering is the standard, anything less will not be tolerated; and finally (3) the fragile eggshell of a team that the Eagles are - when it starts to go south for them they simply have nowhere to dig down and find the strength to overcome. They are a team bereft of real character and leadership. They will pointing fingers and arguing on the sidelines by the end of the first half. Their implosion as a team will leave the talking heads speechless.

That would just be icing on the cake.
