Eagles vs Skins Pre Game/ Predictions

Ooh blocked FG? I was in the stands for this legendary sequence:

Loved that game, to this day I always wondered why he didnt keep to the outside.

NM guys, I didn't realize this was so hard lol

I was simply responding to Meks saying he wasn't optimistic about the Skins winning, and others have predicted a double digit loss

Lol yea, its a gut feeling and given where i live.... i WOULD have to suffer through a week 1 loss in an eagles bar dealing with ass hats masquerading as football fans.... my gut feeling says the Defense wont cover Jeffrey, and they will run on us.... it also says that the loss of our WRs will take time to recover from... if we crush Wentz early and often maybe we have a shot.... but I just havent seen enough out of this team yet to feel confident. The skins havr conditioned most of us for heartbreak.... i dont really expect much different this week but i really, really hope I'm wrong.

I typically get a good indication of how the Skins will look offensively and defensively (with the understanding it's JUST preseason), but honestly I don't know what to expect. I think this week we'll have a hard time running the ball against the Eagles front.

I think Philly will live and die by Wentz. If he doesn't show any improvement or we DO defensively (which I think our run defense has improved along with our LBs) I think the Eagles will have a hard time. They keep writing about Torrey Smith like he's some savior. Let's be real, his best years are behind him. He MIGHT do what Wentz does best, but I'm not scared of him. I was more worried about Jordan Matthews.

If we win, it's a close one 20-17.

This game is up for grabs. Gruden has not won a season opener since he's been here. I think the offense starts slow but gets in gear by the fourth quarter.

I just want the defense to show up and dominate.

The homer in me says.
21 - 17 skins win

Yeah real close...vegas has this as a pickem

Will be interesting to see how well Darby(a local) handles the NFC East receivers,he was good on a bad Ryan defense lets see what happens now.

Junior Galette's return could give Washington Redskins big boost - Washington Redskins Blog- ESPN (http://www.espn.com/blog/washington-redskins/post/_/id/33004/junior-galettes-return-patient-run-game-could-provide-big-boost-for-redskins)

So excited to see this guy get a chance again

I'm more worried about Alshon Jeffery to be honest. Norman didn't exactly shut him down last year and now he's playing with a competent qb. Torrey Smith might make a few plays but he's never been a consistent playmaker.
