The Gud, the bad and the Great. Eagles Post Game Reactions

Who else was waiting for a flag or for a review after Garcons TD catch? Who else was sure that with 26 seconds left on the clock and three timeouts that they were going to complete one or two long passes and move rite into fg range. I was the only Skins fan in the bar and it was mostly Giants fans. The bartender was a Birds fan. Every Giants fan was rooting for us and when we scored they were like "dude u won!" High fives. Etc.
I just kept saying no I watch us every week there has to be zero's on that clock. I was nervous as hell until our second sack.

Does anyone know the nature of Culliver's knee injury?

Culliver suffered the injury, which head coach Jay Gruden described as knee inflammation, on Wednesday and did not practice on Thursday and Friday.

“It’s an impact whether they threw a hitch route, a deep ball route, anything” Culliver said. “You see me in practice, so I was just battling through injuries and just trying to play for my team and one another. There’s people out here 10, 11, 12 years in. I’m trying to win and help my team win regardless of whatever that takes. If I don’t have one leg out there, if I can go and try to compete the best way I can and the organization behind me, then our decision is to go play ball.”

By playing through the injury, defensive end Ricky Jean Francois felt Culliver set “a standard around here now, a brand new standard” in the Redskins’ locker room.

“Just over previous years hearing about this team and just knowing all the things everybody trashed us about, ‘This person could’ve played, or this person couldn’t play,’ ” Jean Francois said. “Hands down, this dude said he was injured, but he didn’t say he wouldn’t be able to play. That wasn’t an upstairs decision. It wasn’t no GM, no coaches – it was his decision and he wanted to be out there with his teammates that he goes blood, sweat and tears with. That was us he wanted to bang with, and he did just that and helped us get the ‘W.’ ”

Culliver was big time for playing...lotta heart and leadership. Guys like him and Trent last year playing with injuries, whole lotta respect.

Culliver will need help against Julio on deep routes. Culliver played the short stuff well this past week.

Is Jarrett officially the new nickle CB?

I'd say SM needs to add TE to the list next year. Reed is a mess right now and has another concussion. He might be out for a while.

I saw on ESPN where he also may have an ankle injury and possible torn MCL??

Schefty says sprained MCL. Though concussion is a bigger deal IMO.

Id bet a ton of money Reed is the guy "everybody" talked about not playing when he could have. Not a good look.

....Even though the run wasn't working, by continuing to run the ball, it caused the Eagles to hesitate during playaction plays....Yeah I guess technically you can say the run game wasn't working. But like you mentioned the Iggles were still forced to respect play action and the run game controlled the clock.

Maybe i'm striving for too fine/esoteric a distinction for an internet message board...but for me the run game was working. It may not have gained huge yards per carry but it was effective and helped us win the game.

Reed clearly has a reoccurring issue with concussions and that IMO should be a career ender. Frankly for the sake of his future he should probably not be in the NFL.
It is Reed's fourth documented concussion since his days at the University of Florida. One in 2013, his rookie year, cost Reed the final six games of that season. It is one thing where you get some mild concussions that costs you a game or two, but to miss six weeks, that must have been really bad....and he continues to get them. That is really bad.
I hope he is ok and do not mean to sound uncaring about his health.
But we need to move on from him, he will never be healthy for any length of time and this type of head trauma injury/condition only gets worse, not better. You become more susceptible to concussions.

We should move on from Reed.
I hope next years draft is TE heavy.

The one he has in 2013 must have been real bad. Apparently he had insomnia and it lingered for a real long time. I agree, the Redskins need to find a replacement. Reed seriously needs to consider his future.
