Skins vs Eagles Pre Game Thread

I love the pesimmism on this board, skins are a better than most of you think.

I dont think anybody is saying playoffs of bust. If we beat the Eagles I for one will be thinking it.
Edit: if we play the Eagles tough on the road I will still be thinking it.

Let's see it consistently against good teams before we start jumping up and down. If we come out of this 3 game stretch against Philadelphia, New York, and Seattle with a record of 3-2 or better, I'll start getting excited.

2-3 is probably very realistic. I hope we just are competitive against philly and seattle. I would still be hopeful for a division title since we will get Philly at home later on.

After the Houston game we were heading for a top 5 pick. Now it's playoffs or bust. Too funny.

If we win this weekend: playoffs and superbowl talk coming soon to a message board near you.

I agree. We have better players this year. Robinson, Hatcher, Clark, healthy Kerrigan, Roberts, Jackson and this new kid Grant...and honestly, I think KC gives us a better option passing the ball. We can beat Philly.

I love early season optimism.

I could have sworn the season was already over after the Texans, what a difference that thing called winning does to people... Lol

For me, but probably only me in the whole world cuz that's how I role, the D is the key. But not in the sense of getting to Foles, or stops behind the line but keeping their offense in front of our defense. One commentator pointed out that their quick count offense can wear out defenses in the first half, and allows for bigger plays in the second half. Given that we don't have the deepest defense, this does concern me.

I think that Cousins throws 2 picks easy, and we have a general shootout, and right now I am not sure if we can win that against even a middle of the road defense.

And 11 penalties will be an automatic loss as well.

I am a few games shy of getting back into the kool-aid spirit.
Skins 24, Iggles >24.

Not funny, normal. Winning breeds hope and losing dont. Lol. Pretty strait forward.

When we lose a game because we play like the bad news bears I expect pessimism. When we beat (any) team by 31 i expect optimism. Doesn't have to be Superbowl or burn it down but lets all understand the relationship between their play and our opinions of their chances. If we get our asses kicked Sunday I will no longer be hopeful. Lol
