Its Early, but lets hear some predictions for this weeks game

When was the last time we could say our defense is pretty darn good? Having said that, this game could be an epic battle to the finish with our beloved REDSKINS winning or losing by a game ending FG. We must not let Philly score more than 27 pts to have a chance to win in the end. You are not going to completely stop McCoy, Sproles or Foles but you can limit the BIG plays with pre-snap recognition, pressure on Foles, solid tackling in numbers and keeping fresh bodies in up front. Our conditioning may be a factor and all off season and pre-season should have been spent conditioning for this very game. I'm going with a Skins win as time expires because I'm a homer!


REDSKINS - 30
EAGLES - 27

Nope. Moreso because the Eagles, and even the 9ers and Hawks aren't aren't pumpin any fear into anyone right now.

Still early in the season and all that, but its looking to me like an On Any Given Sunday type league. As opposed to a few teams being clearly head n shoulders above every other team. And Foles seems to have come back down to earth of sorts with another 27 TDs/2 INTs season unlikely.

Until this past February I would have said you arent going to completely shut down Peyton Manning no matter how good your defense is. I think we actually stand a better chance in this game than some are giving credit for. Their WRs dont scare me at all. And I think we have the LBs to play with their RBs and TEs. Its going to come down to having the speed to get after Foles. And I think we are going to see that this weekend.

What was that stat at the beginning of the last game, Alf had gone X amount of games without a 100 yard game? I was surprised, that's all on the play calling.

His last 100 game was against Minny so its 9 games and counting now. I agree Alf should've been getting the rock more, but he's had 3 games of 90+ yards during this 9 game stretch. Plus there were some blowout losses and that Philly game where the Skins fell behind 24-0 at halftime.
