Game Thread: Eagles/Redskins thread

[old duke]

Good morning gentlemen,
Here we go. Let's see how many games we can win to close out this transition year. I hate the idea of Cleveland getting a top 10 pick in the 2017 draft from us, so we need to win at least 2 of the remaining 4 games left, and it starts today. We also need the Vikes to lose their remaining 4 games to get us a top 1-0 or 12 pick.

EAGLES - 27
FORESKINS - 23

What is the general feeling up there? I heard Merrill Reese on the radio. He's an icon, love the guy, but he kept calling players like WR Mathews "very very good" which cost him some credibility. But he liked the Eagles, I can see why. Playing at home for their season against a team that's taken a step back it seems logical to me. Besides Washington has owned the series lately, that's due to swing the other way

Jordan Matthews is a very good player. He is not a #1, but a very good slot receiver. When we add 2 new WRs this coming off season, we will have a good corps just like we used to have with DJAX, Macln, and Avant. They, couple with McCoy, made us one of the top offenses in the league, especially when we had Vick in his prime.

So, they are gone, and we are rebuilding. Hopefully today, we turn the tide against the opponent we used to own.

While us losing gives Cleveland a better 1st round pick ... it also gives us better picks in other rounds. I'm not rooting for losses at this point as I want to see Wentz improve, but "draft-wise" losing puts us in better position in other rounds aside from the first.

The Eagles continue to (literally) hurt themselves. Sproles should be bubblewrapped...

That INT is all on Wentz...

wouldn't have happened if matthews had the sense to drag his foot.

 

[greenwing]

That was a terrible pass by wentz . Carson has really regressed this season .

With extended coaching Wentz will eventually be everything Pederson was.

Playcalling generally was okay... Peters f-ing up again though...

pederson's press on that peters 4th down false start; "i take full responsibility for playing it like a bitch, dragging the clock down looking for the defense to jump. it's something we'll work on. we'll fix it. we'll get better. i take full responsibility."

He needs to mix things up. also how does a vet like Peters gave so many false starts ?

 

[old duke]

"IF" we were a good offense, we'd be up 21-0!

Doug doesn't throw the flag when he should ... lol

 

[greenwing]

The one time pederson should have challenged and he pussed out and now it cost a td . I'm so sick of this man .

 

[DutchBird]

No way the refs would have overturned that...

Doug would have wasted that challenge (no way that would have been overturned). And atrocious tackling is costing that TD, not Doug Pederson.

 

[Rey]

Yeah, Doug did get it right ..
