Game Thread: Commanders vs Eagles: “I’m in a Philly Mood”

[Stymietee]

The song “I’m in a Philly Mood” is a delightful track performed by the renowned singer-songwriter, Daryl Hall. Released in 1993, this catchy tune captures the essence of Philadelphia, Hall’s hometown, and explores the emotions and experiences tied to it. With its nostalgic feel and soulful melody, the song resonates with both longtime fans of Hall and those searching for a connection to the City of Brotherly Love. For the Commanders that mood has to be one that leaves a lasting impression on the team that they're facing and the city hosting them in the form of new challenges from the new kids on the block. Here's a look at some details of the game.

I'm tired of talking about the Steelers game, that's in the past. I don't like where we are for this one. Wish they had rain outs in football as this team is beat up.

Not a fan of Hurts but with these weapons and OL I see their offense having a big day.

Lattimore ruled out

Yep, not sure who covers all Hurts weapons.

 

[countryroads316]

Damn we really needed Lattimore

 

[chillerdab]

The answer is nobody. Nobody covers hurts weapons. At least not forbes or BSJ.

Sanristil can hopefully cover one of them, and Noah Ig. can hopefully cover another one.

Hopefully they blitz the shit out of Hurts and get him on the ground.

Saquan’s the key though.

The battle for the East in prime time.

Should be a humdinger of a game....

 

[countryroads316]

All I know is we better not see St Juste covering AJ Brown

I would rather BSJ than Forbes covering him…twig meet trunk.

 

[skinsdad62]

 

[Skin'EmAll]

BSJ has no choice but to cover AJB. It will be bloody BUT AJ Brown may injure his hamstring at halftime with 200 yards

This game is not lining up favorably for us. We need to somehow catch them off guard.

 

[j_y19]

The results will be the same. We need to focus on Hurts. If we can get to him, it makes no difference what AJ does to BSJ or Forbes. We also need to be able to run the ball on offense, controlling the time of possession. The can’t score if they don't have the ball.

Need JD5 to have one HECK of a game to win!

Not giving up but not feeling good about this one. Don't know how they are going to stop AJ, Smith, Goeddert and Saquon. Philly is only giving up 17.8 points per game. Pittsburgh was able to bottle up Jayden in the run game.

Looking at the past schedule Washington has only beat one team with a winning record. Two games they won they failed to score a TD except for a Hail Mary.

Looking at the schedule starting with tonight I think Philadelphia sweeps us, and Atlanta wins. Need to sweep Dallas and beat NO and the Titans. for 11 wins. The one thing I do not know is how much Lattimore helps when he is able to return. If 11-6 is the final record I will be very happy. One game at a time though .....

atl is winnable don't have to beat Philly at all to get into the playoffs.

This game has me concerned also. We are pretty beat up. The league is adjusting to Jayden. The last couple games, they have used a spy to shadow Jayden, taking away his running. Cliff needs to figure out a plan to defeat this adjustment. I see the eagles winning this one in a fairly high scoring game.
