Skins vs Eagles Pre Game Thread

Big game against probably the best team in the division. I havent been super impressed with Philly but they can be electric.

If you watched the Eagles, they have started extremely slow in both games, only to comeback later for wins in both. So 2-0 really doesnt explain the struggles they've had with the offense, especially in the red zone.

Keys for me is to out physical eagles with O and D line play. Controling the tempo with the run and hitting hard on defense, but making sure we wrap up when we tackle. Eagles love to get the ball in space to their guys so we must have our best tackling day of the season.

I think we cant settle for 3 on the road with an offense that can put up 7 in bunches and Kirk cant throw ints.

Run the ball effectively and we win 28-24 Skins. Cant run the ball and force Kirk to throw the entire game we lose 45-20.

almost totally agree. lets just pound morris all game long. and foles now seems human, so lets get some pressure, and some ints

I'm hoping that our d-line can take enough advantage of Philly's poor o-line to slow down Sproles.

We can't f'up in the tackling department, both Sproles and Shady made a lot of the Colts miss last week.

On the offense, I'd like to see a steady dose of Morris. I hope we don't get cute on the playcall (no reverse plays deep in our own territory) and I don't want us to be in a position where we need to pass a lot.

We will need to put the Eagles away, twice already they've come back on teams. If we're up, the offense will need to play ball control to prevent any comebacks.

Per Cbs Sports..... We are doomed!

Washington (1-1) at Philadelphia (2-0), 1 p.m. ET: The first annual DeSean Jackson revenge game is going to be worth watching on Sunday and not just because it's the first annual DeSean Jackson revenge game. For one, you'll likely get to see the Eagles fall behind by at least 14 points, something they've done in both games so far. After that, you'll probably see the Eagles comeback. Also, as a bonus, you get to see Kirk Cousins make his fifth career start. If you watched Andy Dalton play in Cincinnati, then you know what Jay Gruden can do with a pocket passer. If you didn't watch Dalton play in Cincinnati, well, he won a lot games with Gruden. Just not playoff games. Cousins might end up being a great fit for Gruden's offense. Redskins 27-24 over Eagles.

It seems to me Philly is a second half team in order to beat them you can't let up and control time of possession. Heavy dose of Alfmo and short passes to open up playaction. I predict it being a low scoring game 17-14 Skins

Keenan Robinson will shine
Couisins will be solid
D will be solid
Redd will surprise as the backup to Morris

Redskins win

Im not sure if Rambo made the stat column beside your basic tackle. For a db its like where you at. He didnt do his job on gameday we need players ready to play on an elite level. Even with a vet like Ryan Clark next to him year two and still couldnt get to where he needed to be. Cool name its a shame.

Skins look good but drop a close one because it's on the road: 28-27.

Then we'll go on a tear, including against Seattle.

my two cents

I agree that time of possession is very important for the Skins in this game. With the extremely fast pace of the Eagles offense, our offense is going to need to give our defense as much rest as they can. If we have too many three-and-outs, our defense will be gassed in the second half and we'll probably lose.

Hopefully, we can get some early scores, go into the fourth quarter with the lead, and then execute a couple of long scoring drives.

Are suggesting a bounce back game by Rambo...3 ints, 15 tackles-like performance?
