Redskins Vs Eagles Pregame Thread

[SolidSnake84]

I think at this point we have to be playing for next year. The players can say what they want, but i think even they know that the odds are slim that they can run the tables and sneak in the playoffs again.

Our defense almost assures us a loss everytime we step on the field. We consistently give up 30 or more points. You just can't do that in this league and win football games.

If we win, the final score would likely be Redskins 45, Eagles 42.....

Things could be scary bad. Foles might throw 5 or 6 TD's, McCoy runs for a few more, Foles might rush for a couple....

Before we annoint Foles the next Peyton, he's going to need to produce consistently over better teams than the Raiders and the Rodgers-less Packers (which, notably, we did not have to play). But we will have to play better D than we have in many weeks if we're going to keep them under 30, and I think we will need to do that to win. A shootout favors the home team.

I agree with you, that's a great post. But even if Foles puts up pedestrian-esque numbers, and doesn't commit too many turnovers, the eagles are still capable of hurting us. We can't stop the run, or the pass. We always blow a lead. We have poor coaching on both sides of the ball.

We could be in for a long day against Philly
