Thoughts on Eagles/Redskins

[4mrusmc]

I think that this game will be a coming out party for one of our rookie wideouts. This team is progressing and getting the confidence it needs to buy into what the coaches are selling. With these weapons being used to their potential, defenses will not be able to key on one thing. I hope that I'm not jinxing anything here but I think that this team is on the verge of scoring many points in any game that they play in.

The defense is playing very well too, but more pass rush is sorely needed. Romo looked at little too comfortable moving around in the pocket with would-be tacklers wiffing by.

I'm curious to know about the status of some of our starters that got nicked-up against dallas, and is J. Taylor going to be ready to go?

But, overall I like what I'm seeing each week. This team appears to be hitting it's stride.

I really hope Devin Thomas breaks out. Next to Justin Tryon, I've been most concerned about him. Also, when will we start seeing Fred Davis in 2 TE formations?

They have no TE, shit for receivers and a RB if he plays that will be the focus of the defense. I dont see how they score more then 14

LJ Smith isn't too bad. DeShean Jackson is a legit deep threat and a healthy Reggie Brown had 80 yds on Sunday in Chicago. Westbrook was our focus last year and he still killed us in our house. Just sayin...

LJ Smith is constantly banged up again this year and has been a non-factor.

I think the next four games will be the coming out party for the rookie WRs and TE. The more Moss and ARE find themselves fielding punts, the more formations the rookies should be in.

Another problem I see is that this I expect the eagles to be the best coached team to go against so far. Plus very simular to NO offense, which we ended up getting kinda of lucky with the 3 turnovers.

Im guessing tough close game. Who ever makes the least amount of mistakes wins

Of course I have been thinking of the Skins Eagles game ALL day/week, and the more I think about it, the more the coaching stands out as my biggest concern. Andy Reid is going to look at everything Zorn and the Skins have done to date, the good and the bad, and he will have his team ready to play.
I guess its gonna be another Sunday pacing up and down in front of the TV!

I expect the Eagles to rest Westbrook at least one more week if they value their season. If he's having problems cutting and breaking runs, don't play against the Skins.

What? How can you make a prediction that could reasonably be conceived to not be 100% sure of a redskins victory, nay, Domination? You are not a true fan. You should go find a cowboys board and post there. Blaaaahhahhahahha.





Sorry, just had to.

[BleedBurgundy]

I'm afraid that JC's first turnover comes in Week 5. Depends on how he reacts to that. If he keeps calm and puts it behind him, we'll be fine, if he gets rattled and erratic, we're probably screwed. I'd love to see CP in the same form he was last Sunday. Absolute beast. Prediction: Skins 28 Eagles 17. 100+ for CP.

[LandrySlice]

they will run with Portis more this week to keep the pressure off of JC, but they will still use ARE and Moss to spread the field and keep the D Honest. I do think Devin Eleven will have a break out game, and we will not see much out of Kelly till next year. Just my thoughts, but this is the team I hate almost as much as Dallas. GO SKINS AND GO GREG NOVIS!

[TheSmurfs22]

This game makes me more nervous than last week's, maybe because I have a certain expectation that we can win this one. It is going to be a typicl NFC grudge match.

[4mrusmc]

Please God let this team be for real. I think it's been referenced in a thread before, but the past four years this team has gone 3-1 three out of the four years to start the season. Then, unexplicably fall in some kind of midseason funk that crushes our hopes and aspirations. Only to save us from utter despair, and play crazy inspired football that keeps us on edge towards the end of the season.

I for one, would like to see this team play for homefield advantage towards the end of the season. I know it's too early to be talking about the p-word, but one can only hope.

[DirtyLandry]

Killadelphia. Shut them up just like all the Romosexuals. Brotherly love my ass.

[4mrusmc]

I also can't help but think that the eagles were the last team that S. Taylor played against. Hopefully this team can channel that memory of Sean to inspire them in this important divisional game.
