Still in it: Redskins-Eagles Post Game Thread

I know the Everett play was bad but look at it this way, if he doesn't smack Sproles, he is out there on that last drive and could have gotten them the game winning TD.....

I also think we're all getting damn greedy. :)

If you told me last year this would be our record right now, I'd have literally done back-flips.

Most of us picked us to have a worse record but be a better team. I think we could say with confidence that's what happened this year. The Bengals tie still pisses me off to no end (AND the Lions loss, but it looks like he's doing that to everyone) but we're doing damn good considering where we were a few years ago. I think a heavy investment into defense in the offseason to where the offense doesn't have to carry the team and we'll look like a legitimate contender.

Yeah you're right. Things could be a lot worse, I am thankful for the progress we've made this year and even though there is room for improvement we are still way better than we were for the longest time.

Exactly. Bottom line is that we are real close to being a one loss team rite now! Are you kidding me? There is not one team that would say, "ok we got the Skins this week - we should win this game". Not one. We are legit rite now because of that alone. Two years ago, and for many years prior, we were considered a gimme. We were a dumpster fire, and nobody was taking us seriously. On top of that our season would be well over in late October. We are in the midst of a two year period where we win more than we lose, and this year we never get blown out. Now people like to complain that we are never winning comfortably. Lol.

Wow good news on cravens...elbow flexor, week to week. Man the way they were taking yesterday it seemed like cravens would be out for awhile, possibly the year.

Wild Compton is also week to week...sounds like both avoided major injuries

I saw that, we dodged a bullett and feel better about our playoff chances.

True.

I can see where the Eagles would be upset with the hit. However I do think the fact that they lost flamed that fire more so.

The way I look at it is; at least it's not us anymore. I used to watch teams come into FedEx and smack us right in the mouth and laugh as they walked out with a W. When Scot McC took over and said, "We won't always get a win but after you play the Redskins, you're gonna feel it." I was ecstatic and wanted to see that happen, and it has. In this league it's either Hit or Get Hit and we've gotten more and more physical the past two years.

We've beaten the Eagles FIVE times in a row. We're laying people out and playing with enough emotion to start fights/scuffles. This is how football is supposed to be played. I'm loving every minute of this season and the overall Scot McC rebuild.

Another year or two and we have a legitimate contender boys.

Yes! Great news on both counts..

This is good news, thanks for sharing. I won't expect them back within the next two weeks but if we made the playoffs we definitely could use them

I thought Kujo was fairly terrible yesterday....he had a tough assignment, but I saw him get dominated in pass pro a couple times and flat out killed on run blocking. Lauvoa is better. Sullivan was decent yesterday. Maybe put Spencer Long in at LG Sullivan at Center.

I think we should slide Bree into slot coverage, see if that helps.

Keim didn't think so, neither did I

I’m sticking with a blocking theme because the Redskins did a rather solid job of it, including left guard Arie Kouandjio in his second start. The Eagles’ interior is excellent, with Bennie Logan and Fletcher Cox. Kouandjio sometimes had issues, but most of them seemed to be ones coaching and experience can help
