Pre-Game Skins @ Eagles

Let the games begin...

I think the division is yours, fans of the politically incorrect team from Washington whose name shall not be uttered.

Philly's already mediocre secondary may be without both starting corners.

Bradford is actually playing some of his best ball, but the team is mediocre at best and Washington is playing much better right now overall.

Philly shocked me by beating the Patriots and may shock me again, but at this point beating DC would be a major upset. That loss in the first matchup looms very large right now.

 

[Caliskinsfan]

Nah, it's a division game in the NFCE. Could easily go either way IMO.

Going to likely be a street fight. Both teams control their destinies.

Plus it's an away game, we certainly haven't been 'awesome' on the road this year.

Looking forward to it

If Rowe and the top FA Cb the Eagles got I forgot his name are out that would be huge!!!! Biggers covering Jackson would be fun to see.

the thing about the eagles is their tempo . it always gives us fits on defense usually at the end . if the offense comes out and lays an egg we are in trouble

its a national TV game as well which means curtains for the skins

all i am saying as i said before dallas was dont underestimate them . they beat the pats and they demolished us

The national tv spot has me worried. In fact, everything about this game has me worried. I hope these guys don't let the last 2 games go to their heads. They need to be focusing on Philly and deflect all discussions of playoffs.

Agree with Cali, division games and all bets are off. Philly has to be the more desperate team. They are out if they lose. Redskins are likely out but not eliminated.

We need to look at this game as a win or go home situation. Last thing we need is to have to depend on the Giants winning in week 17, and us giving Dallas an actual reason to play ball in week 17.

 

[Caliskinsfan]

Absolutely. One game season. Feel like the locker room is taking it this way from comments and demeanor of the players. We shall see.

Seems to have held true this season for Chips offense.

And that's why we should all be Giants fans this week. Just in case, we need them to have something to play for vs. Philly in week 17. But I agree. I don't want to back in. I want to go in rolling.

I have had a lot of things in my life, torn knee ligaments, Dunbar finger, concussion. broken thumb, broken hand, hit in the eye with a driver, hit with a billy stick. knife slash to the hand but the one that hurt most was a fractured rib. If he plays with that he is the MAN. Guess that is what locals are for.

Dang, you've been beat up some

Yeah, I've heard ribs are the worst. Gonna have to dial up some lidocaine patches...

Half was sports and half was being young and dumb.

Well,

the way things stand, the Eagles will be fielding their 5th and 6th CB of the pre-season depth chart. Their best ILB (Hicks) is on IR. Kiko Alonso stinks, Ryans cannot cover anymore, and Kendricks has been mediocre (at best). The Redskins' offense should have a field day against the Eagles defense as it is now.

 

[Sharkinva]

Short week and the Eagles will likely have two starting CBs who at best missed practice time, and at worse will be on two backups. I really wish I trusted this team enough to take advantage of this. But still realize we have let quite a few gift games slip over the last few seasons.

Definitely understand about injuries to the secondary. We've dealt with that all season.
