Official Eagles vs. Redskins Thread

[lagalaxyfan23]

Glad we avoided the hurricane. The Redskins are missing DJax, DeAngelo Hall, potentially Chris Culliver, and Perry Riley. Tough losses.

I'll say the Eagles take this one 27-16.

Get your act together Bradford, hoping for a coming out party today.

[xtremecardage13]

Bradford v. Cousins

I feel like this game is going to be won on the ground.

[chitownbears22]

Bradford v. Cousins

I feel like this game is going to be won on the ground.

I feel like the only winners are viewers with solid "out of market" options.

[xtremecardage13]

I feel like the only winners are viewers with solid "out of market" options.

Unless you're a fan of the Redskins or Eagles, I agree.

It's actually surprising that one of these two teams has to be 2-2 after Week 4.

[ronaldo943]

Eagles will win.

[fullmetal]

Redskins by 12

I think I selected the Eagles to win though.

[cadillac540]

I feel like the only winners are viewers with solid "out of market" options.

True. Was hoping this game got postponed.

[lagalaxyfan23]

Marcus Smith inactive again wow.

[HBMC]

Marcus Smith inactive again wow.

Solid use of a First Round Pick.

[ce99dj88]

Time to take captain check down out, he is terrified to throw the ball more than five yards

[pgisback]

Terrified. Been that way all season.

[lagalaxyfan23]

Can't do anything if you receivers aren't getting separation and this offensive line isn't giving you any time. Can't believe how pathetic this offense has looked. Still don't understand why we changed our system.

[ManInTheMirror]

I read today, that Tyrod Taylor wanted to be an Eagle but they passed on him and signed Tim Tebow instead.

[pgisback]

Redskins are dominating this game.

[herdfan87]

Can't do anything if you receivers aren't getting separation and this offensive line isn't giving you any time. Can't believe how pathetic this offense has looked. Still don't understand why we changed our system.

At this point in time he may as well try throwing the ball, cause what he is doing now sure as hell isn't helping

[lagalaxyfan23]

Amazing. This team has no shot at playoffs if this offense continues to play the way it has.

[RandysHobby]

Luck TD. But good god the Eagles O Line is so bad. Its unreal. I think Sam is scared to turn it over too, he needs to just let it go.

[WalterAZ31]

I said this team was trash a month ago, and once I'm again I'm pretty much always right

[ce99dj88]

At this point in time he may as well try throwing the ball, cause what he is doing now sure as hell isn't helping

I'd rather him throw a pick taking a chance than be ultra conservative and give the offense no chance to move the ball

[ManInTheMirror]

metsplaya be gettin' that last laff yo

[pgisback]

Can never be comfortable with a lead when you're a skins fan, but geez, philly looks lost out there. Big drive coming up

[FlyHighCards]

Mychael Kendricks, Brandon Bair, Jason Peters, Nolan Carroll, and Byron Maxwell have all gotten hurt today.....wow

[herdfan87]

I'd rather him throw a pick taking a chance than be ultra conservative and give the offense no chance to move the ball

Yep, he isn't throwing the ball unless the guy is wide open. He has no faith that the WR can make a play

[pgisback]

What a catch, wow

[wheeler281]

What a catch, wow

What a fumble

[lagalaxyfan23]

This is just comical now.

[herdfan87]

Par for the course

[drumstyx89]

Time to fire Chip. He has ruined this franchise.

[lagalaxyfan23]

Thank you to Sproles, Thurmond, and Hicks for being the only players who have consistently shown up in every game.

[ce99dj88]

Gotta love Sproles

[ninjacookies]

Sweet jesus that philly offense is terrible.

[pgisback]

Time for Sanchez. Bradford is awful

[lagalaxyfan23]

Of course we miss the FG. Too fitting.

[IronMonkey415]

I had a lot on the Eagles and I trusted them.

[pgisback]

Redskins defense is a big surprise this year. Wow!! That defensive line is filthy!

[Devi8or]

This season has been a complete joke from top to bottom so far. Easily the worst team in the NFL. I don't think any team had struggled as much as we have for as long as we have. Absolutely pathetic once again. Either get it fixed or just stop playing the games

That offensive line is a joke, can't block anything that is thrown at them. I've never seen so many 4 man defensive fronts pressure the QB so consistently

[lagalaxyfan23]

We are definitely not the worst team in the league. On paper we should be one of the best (we have tons of talent on this roster), but the execution, performance, and gameplanning has been atrocious over these first few games. Right now we're playing like a bottom 10 team though :mad:

[lagalaxyfan23]

Sure let's keep running the ball on 2nd and 10 to set us up for nice third and longs. Love it.

[lagalaxyfan23]

Matthews was open, protection was good, Sam needs to make that throw. Come on Sam show us why we gave up so much for you.

[lagalaxyfan23]

There we go Sammy! Finally a shot down field. Who would have thought it would be to Riley Cooper of all people too lol

[pgisback]

Remember you guys are playing the Redskins not the Patriots.

[pgisback]

Misses the extra point, wow! Chip won't kick again the rest of the game

[lagalaxyfan23]

The only thing that Sturgis has done well today has been kick touchbacks. I miss Parkey :mad:

[ce99dj88]

Finally Bradofrd is taking some chances downfield! Who would of thought that would help our offense

[lagalaxyfan23]

Finally Bradofrd is taking some chances downfield! Who would of thought that would help our offense

We normally haven't had anybody that open, but glad Bradford saw that and went for it. The vertical passing game will help this offense a lot.

[FlyHighCards]

Look what happens when we go deep

[RandysHobby]

Our kicker situation blows. It has ever since we lost Akers. JESUS H

[herdfan87]

...Hey it's Riley Cooper, I remember that guy. Can we get rid of him already

[pgisback]

Here we go, another Redskins meltdown. They did this against the Dolphins.

[lagalaxyfan23]

Anybody know where Brandon Graham, Vinny Curry, or Connor Barwin went? Could have sworn they used to get sacks back in the day...

[pgisback]

Unreal how Jekyl and Hyde the Eagles and Skins are.

[pgisback]

Wow, can't believe he kicked.

[lagalaxyfan23]

Good play by Bradford. Come on Eagles this should have been a gimme.

[IronMonkey415]

Are the eagles doing good now?

[lagalaxyfan23]

Say whatever you want, but this offense needs a mobile QB to run it to the best of its abilities. It would be scary to think of what someone like Russell Wilson could do in this offense.

[lagalaxyfan23]

Sam Bradford is also the #1 fantasy QB right now too hahaha.

[lagalaxyfan23]

Can't stand Bradford missing these throws.

[HBMC]

Bradford getting clobbered, banged up ankle now.

[lagalaxyfan23]

One positive of this game is that I don't think Eric Rowe has been targeted all game filling in for Maxwell.

[BoxBreaker72]

Bradford lasted longer this year than I expected TBH.

[lagalaxyfan23]

Hicks showing up once again! Fumble recovery in each game he's started!

[FlyHighCards]

SAMMMYYYYYYY

[pgisback]

Skins are such a joke. They do this every year.

[lagalaxyfan23]

Thats how to bounce back, Bradford! Back in this!

[lagalaxyfan23]

Skins are such a joke. They do this every year.

Eagles are an even bigger joke for letting this game be this close (no offense haha).

[FlyHighCards]

Our run D has been great this year

[pgisback]

At least today it's not Cousins fault. Gotta give him props, he's playing a pretty good game.

[HBMC]

Fletcher Cox is down, not good news there.

[lagalaxyfan23]

Sproles!!!!

[pgisback]

Redskins are a clown show. Should change their name just to try to erase the past 2 decades. It's embarrassing.

[lagalaxyfan23]

Love that phantom holding call on Carroll.

[FlyHighCards]

come up big here D

[rcgdodge]

5 minutes to go. Lets see if the Eagles can hold this win.

[TheFrenzy]

Game right here!

[HBMC]

Garçon!!!!!!!!!

[TheFrenzy]

I haven't been watching the game, but how have the Skins managed to throw the ball 45 times while only averaging 6 yards per attempt?

[lagalaxyfan23]

Garcon has had an unbelievable game. Once again this Eagles team disappoints.

[pgisback]

Wow!!! Redskins close! There goes our Goff chances!

[HBMC]

What a drive by the Skins, Cousins hasn't looked too bad today at all.

[pgisback]

I haven't been watching the game, but how have the Skins managed to throw the ball 45 times while only averaging 6 yards per attempt?

Cousins doesn't throw downfield. Even on 3rd and long he'll complete a 2-3 yard pass.

[rcgdodge]

Oh here we go.

[TheFrenzy]

Cousins doesn't throw downfield. Even on 3rd and long he'll complete a 2-3 yard pass.

As a Cowboys fan, sounds familiar..... :(

[rcgdodge]

I hate the eagles run game. They don't run between the tackles.

[rcgdodge]

Could totally see it coming.

[herdfan87]

Under 30 seconds, gotta love throwing the ball short...

[TASS]

Cousins doesn't throw downfield. Even on 3rd and long he'll complete a 2-3 yard pass.

Would you rather have your QB "throw downfield" or throw 2-3 yd. pass and lead his team to a WIN!!! :rolleyes:

[herdfan87]

I'm starting to look forward to the post game press conferences these days.

[WalterAZ31]

worst Eagles team since 1998

[pgisback]

Would you rather have your QB "throw downfield" or throw 2-3 yd. pass and lead his team to a WIN!!! :rolleyes:

Rather have a qb throw downfield and win. Gonna be hard to win the way we play consistently.

[rcgdodge]

Wow. This offense.

[eaglescubs555]

LOL, thanks a lot Chip for getting rid of Herremans and Mathis, and investing millions in a running back you rushed with 8 times :)


Wish we could rewind to 2012 and hire Bruce Arians, lol.

[BoxBreaker72]

College....coaches....never......work

[lagalaxyfan23]

I'm a big Chip supporter, but if he's not going to change this offensive system then we're in huge trouble. This looks nothing like the offense that he runs best, and we're suffering because of it.

[shadymccoy25]

Too many drops, too many 3 and outs, no pressure on Cousins. Offense put them in a position to win and defense could not make a stop.

[huskerman47]

But chips a genius

[pgisback]

I'm a big Chip supporter, but if he's not going to change this offensive system then we're in huge trouble. This looks nothing like the offense that he runs best, and we're suffering because of it.

This is what I don't understand. They don't look at all like a Chip Kelly offense. Looks more like a typical NFL offense. Almost like watching the Browns.

[eaglescubs555]

College....coaches....never......work

Although I can't defend Chip Kelly, this statement is totally not true.

[sportscards0513]

Chip Kelly needs to go.

[lionsfan20]

Honest question is the chip Kelly project/experiment over yet or do fans still believe??

[lagalaxyfan23]

This is what I don't understand. They don't look at all like a Chip Kelly offense. Looks more like a typical NFL offense. Almost like watching the Browns.

I have no clue why we moved to a more traditional offense this year. Looks nothing like the past. I think a lot of it has to do with Sam Bradford. You can see the way he moves. He's not natural with his movements inside and outside of the pocket. Chip has rarely gotten our QB out in space (like we've normally done in the past with our other QBs), and it's hurting our offense. I'm starting to doubt if Bradford is a good fit in this system.

[TASS]

Rather have a qb throw downfield and win. Gonna be hard to win the way we play consistently.

My God celebrate the freaking W there are plenty of teams that would take the 2-3 yd. passing game and win.

Congrats on a big Division Win remember they all count!!

[ronaldo943]

It's only been 4 games. R-E-L-A-X.

[TheFrenzy]

Tebow cursed them.

[pgisback]

My God celebrate the freaking W there are plenty of teams that would take the 2-3 yd. passing game and win.

Congrats on a big Division Win remeber they all count!!

Seen this script before for the past 20 years, heck Gus Frerotte and Rex Grossman won games like this. Nice to win, but our inability to stretch the field will once again kill us in the long run. Hard to consistently win this way.

[Devi8or]

Honest question is the chip Kelly project/experiment over yet or do fans still believe??

I wouldn't say is over. I think he majorly screwed up the team this year by over estimating the offensive line. I think if we had something that even resembled an actual NFL OL we would be better.

Skill position wide on offense I think we are fine, the protection and run blocking is holding us back

[BoxBreaker72]

Although I can't defend Chip Kelly, this statement is totally not true.

Please explain how it's not true. I'm dying to hear this gem.

Don't say Pete Carroll because he was a NFL HC first. Ill give you Jimmy Johnson and after that it's very hard to find an argument. If you want to throw Coughlin in there for his 3 years at BC that's also fine.

The last 20+ years have seen bust after bust with these guys.
