Foles is head and shoulders above Kolb.

Looking at the guy play, he's always running around when he doesn't need to. If he would just stand still and move around in the pocket he might not get hurt as much. To me he's got the deer in the headlights kind of look...like he's scared of getting rushed. Even one of the guys on Oakland mentioned it. Maybe soft isn't the right word...maybe jittery is better.

With the way he's playing Foles isn't going anywhere.

Vick is done there.

I don't even want to predict. I think last year I decided to go on strike and not predict anymore outcomes of Redskins games. The result? A 7 game win streak. Nope - I'm not even going to predict that, but hey...if it works???

I picked the same score on the first page! Maybe it's fate lol.

Why can't we do that

[DynamiteRave]

If it was a home game... maybe we'd win. But we're winless in the division anyway so, F it.

Skins - 24
Birdies - 34

One possible good thing for us is the Eagles can't seem to win at home.

Kolb never threw this many TDs in a single season (career high = 9). Foles has thrown 16 in half a season. They are simply not the same guy.

I think the main difference between the two, is Foles is good with the potential to be great, Kolb is matt flynn with potential to be worse

A defense that cant stop anybody,inconsistant playcalling and bad execution,worst special teams in the league = 1 sorry ass team.
We can win this game if we get 2 or more turnovers,Rocca doesnt shank any punts,Kai dont have any fg's blocked, Kyle calls perfect game and players execute his calls.Past 2 games RG3 has missed critical throws in 2nd half to start a series,overthrew his receiver by a wide margin,if he makes that throw Kyle is probably not getting criticised for abandoning the run.
Unfortunately I dont see all those things coming together
41-35 sounds good to me

The thing about Kolb was always potential. He wasn't great in Philadelphia, but looked competent, and some guys if you take them out of the framework of the WCO, they thrive. That was the belief on Kolb at least.

The Cardinals not only didn't have the framework to win with Kolb, they couldn't even keep him upright.

Foles was a great college quarterback who had some down moments as a rookie, but I thought he was the best player on their roster at QB going into the season. I figured we were really fortunate to draw Michael Vick in week 1. We were...it just didn't matter.

I don't see how Foles beats us. A lot of his throws have been lucky lol. Although, we don't really take advantage of playing anyone. So we will lose most likely.

[GTripp0012]

The thing to remember with Foles is that he's still somewhat inexperienced, and has benefitted from the Oakland and Green Bay offenses going AWOL for large portions of the game. If the Redskins can get a lot of points on the board, I do think they'll be able to pick Foles off once or twice.

The problem with the Week 1 game is our offense turned the ball over and refused to sustain anything...against a defense that has proven to be pretty poor overall. Gotta be really good on first down and second down in this one.

Forget a seven game winning streak, you can stick a fork in them if they lose this one.

I suppose you could say the same about RG3's throws, though it wouldn't be any closer to accurate.
