Skins vs Eagles Pre Game Thread

So not to change the subject in this thread, but the Redskins have worn what I call "Home Uniforms" the first two games with one on the road and last week at home. Are they wearing "Burgundy over Gold pants" this week @ Eagles? Or is it road Whites with Burgundy pants.

Anyone have the scoop on this stuff or the reasons behind the choices? I don't know why I am always interested in the uniform choices, but I am.

Hard for me to see the Redskins winning on the road this week, but I think we start to find out how good our Defense really is this week. PLEASSSE avoid the turnover and I think the Redskins can win this one.

Redskins 24 - Eagles 20

I think the home team gets to choose the uniforms so if the Texans went with a white uni then the Redskins need to wear burgundy.

Our defense last yr from what i remember looked lost against their hurry up,plus with Sproles they upgraded
I dont think our defense can hang and i see Sproles having another big game


Replacing Fletcher helps in the speed department, he was targeted heavily last year vs Chip. Plus this is the 3rd go around for Haslett against this offense.

41 points and 10 sacks will do that to a desperate fan base. Pass the Kool Aid please!

Skins 31
Beagles 24

I have a Beagle, and I find this post offensive. How dare you be so insensitive? :Smoker:

The Pigeons likely will score some points. That said, we have a better pass rush than last year. We won't look as lost when Foles is on his back.

If we can keep the dump offs to the backs in check we could be ok. That's pretty much all Foles has been doing. He hasn't been as effective when trying to go down the field as he was last year.

Hmmmm, I wonder if not having DJax has something to do with that.

I hope you and Matty are right,that Sproles matchup has me worried,can only hope when he is targeted its a bad pass or he drops it.
Not many teams have someone that can cover Shady and or Sproles coming out of the backfield,thats a tough matchup for anyone.
Speaking of which I wish the skins threw more to their backs,dont think anyone is afraid of our backs coming out of the backfield
Occasionally a rb is thrown a bone but not very often and when it does its usually Helu on 3rd down
Wish we had someone like Shady whos a threat to take it to the house on any play
Seastrunk had that capability to catch a pass out of the backfield and take it to the house but he's gone,maybe Redd could but he's not going to see the field unless Helu or Morris get hurt
Maybe coach could design some plays with Jackson in the backfield and Helu spread out to get some favorable matchups

I would feel a ton better about this game if it was at home.

stay medium my friends.

(but it is damn hard with this team)
