Re: Skins vs Eagles Pre Game Thread
Eagles - 30
Redskins - 21 You gotta wonder which Captain we'll get. The guy that throws multiple INTs and loses a fumble, or the guy that throws for 230 yards, 2 TDs, and no turnovers? I think he'll be somewhere in the middle. Morris will have a 100 yard day for the first time in 10 games, and also add a TD or two against an overrated Eagles' run defense. I think Andre will have a big game as well: 5 catches, 65 yards, 1 TD, and for bonus points, I predict a special teams TD. Kerrigan has the better matchup, but I think Rak has a nice game against one of the league's best. Foles doesn't play well, but McCoy has his 2014 breakout game and carries them past us. This game could be easily won by us. Foles didn't play well against both Jacksonville and Indianapolis, and I think our defense is better than either of theirs. If Morris has a huge game, Cousins protects the ball, and our defense consistently gets their offense into 3rd and longs, it probably goes our way. |

Skins vs Eagles Pre Game Thread
I think the short week will hurt the Eagles. Skins 24-17. The better D takes this one.

Re: Skins vs Eagles Pre Game Thread
I dont think me thinking we are better than those horrible teams is overly optimistic. My point was i think we are at least a 6 win team. We have one, and we play some other bad teams. So - IF we steal one in Philly that would be huge. There is a difference between saying we are not the worst of the worst and saying we are playoff bound. |

Re: Skins vs Eagles Pre Game Thread
I could have sworn the season was already over after the Texans, what a difference that thing called winning does to people... Lol

Re: Skins vs Eagles Pre Game Thread
After the Houston game we were heading for a top 5 pick. Now it's playoffs or bust. Too funny.

Re: Skins vs Eagles Pre Game Thread
I love the pesimmism on this board, skins are a better than most of you think.

Re: Skins vs Eagles Pre Game Thread
Let's see it consistently against good teams before we start jumping up and down. If we come out of this 3 game stretch against Philadelphia, New York, and Seattle with a record of 3-2 or better, I'll start getting excited.

2-3 is probably very realistic. I hope we just are competitive against philly and seattle. I would still be hopeful for a division title since we will get Philly at home later on. |

Re: Skins vs Eagles Pre Game Thread
I agree. We have better players this year. Robinson, Hatcher, Clark, healthy Kerrigan, Roberts, Jackson and this new kid Grant...and honestly, I think KC gives us a better option passing the ball. We can beat Philly.

Re: Skins vs Eagles Pre Game Thread
I agree. Even with Griff on the bench we are hungrier, play better defense, and have better depth than before. I think that this is going to be a fun (if at times heartbreaking) team to watch and we will at least contend for the playoffs.
