We lack serious depth and talent in key positions. Luckily, the Eagles do to. We have had some really good game plans the first two weeks.
Thursday on a short week exposed our lack of talent and depth. So I look for us to bounce back and run the ball well in a rain filled game.
Redskins 33
Eagles 17
I'm also counting on Bradford to throw a few bad balls that get tipped for INT. He has small baby hands and the rain should be a factor.

I'm predicting a smack down. We really put it to Philly this weekend in all phases. They get some garbage points in the end to make it look closer than it is when Dirty Sanchez comes in for an injured Sam.

There is just no way we score 33 points unless we get a td or 2 from the defense plus the rain could be intense. I'd expect like a 17 14 game or even 13 10 ish

I think the PLAYERS were flawed. Not the plan.
To me it looked like their guys made plays and ours didn't. Bleeland was in position to make a play but didn't. Their wr's were better and beat him twice for TD's.
Their RB bull rushed our rb and blocked the punt. He was in position to block the guy, but didn't/couldn't cause their guy was better.
Manning didn't turn the ball over, KC did, twice. Plus KC missed a couple of TD's. KC was ready to play, no one prepares more than he does, but at this stage Eli is just better. He didn't miss his TD opportunities, KC did.
Where was Kerrigan and Hatcher? No sacks or pressures.
We could not run the ball cause their linemen were pushing ours around in the run game.
None of their Rb's fumbled the ball out of the end zone.
I think we'll see more of the same Sunday. Close game but do we have enough playmakers on the field to win the game???
The Eagles will have good field position all day because we will punt away from Proles and our team doesn't get sacks.
This is going to be a difficult game but I think bad weather helps us out since we are the better running team.
Sproles will be a problem. Robinson can keep him contained.

If it was just a matter of players, there would be no need for coaches. Scheming/game plan matters, its not just players. We have shown when we power run, we can. But when we are running the ball with a TE built for catching and not blocking being responsible for a DE on the attack side, thats a scheme error.
Players certainly deserve their share of the blame, but to say it was just the players fault is to claim the NFL game is as standard as pop warner, and thats just plain wrong.

Nfl live crew picked skins over eagles...I know it's bizarre to hear national media picking skins in any game.
The reasoning is that skins can run the ball and eagles can't and that it will be important in this weekend's bad weather game...

As of now, they are calling for rain through Sat. but on and off on Sun. The field will probably get torn up pretty bad tbh. So it still might be a mud bowl even if it doesnt rain much on Sun.
