Huge game this week.

Will Santana Moss play?

Gotta shut down Portis to stop that offense. And those bubble screens if Moss is playing.

Brunell will be rolling out and taking short drops. The Birds better fargin tackle well.

Mediocrity? This is an epic battle for last place in the NFC East, he most over-hyped and over-rated division in football! It is going to require new levels of coaching and player ineptitude to lose this game.

I have a feeling that we're going to see something like the 37-7 MNF game from a few years back. Why? I don't know. But I think the offense is going to come out smokin and the defense will be much better.

NYG in CHI is huge too. Beat the Skins and if CHI wins they're 1 out.

What he said. Especially the begging.

If this game wasn't at home after a bye it would terrify me. But home games after a bye are the closest thing to a guaranteed win that you can find in the NFL.

Things that scare me:
1. The Skins suck and are forced to use the short passing game combined with a solid and unspectacular running game to move the ball. Guess what the Eagles are awful at defending...
2. Donovan McNabb likes to take stupid sacks and waste timeouts when he's confused. The Skins only hope for stopping anyone on defense is to mask everything they are doing because they just don't have that much talent on that side of the ball. McNabb is almost certain to be confused a lot and take some stupid sacks and waste some timeouts.

Having said that, the Eagles are obviously the better team. And should win. Please god win this game.

I'm hoping the team uses the time off wisely and gets their shtein together. The number one thing I think they have lacked all but one game this year is playing 4 qtrs of football. We cannot start off slow and to play catch up all game. Brunnel to Cooley is something we are going to get burned at. We need to get Dawkins on him. Santana Moss is just a dangerous receiver and can get open against anyone. Our D-line needs to stop it up so we don't have to rely on our DB's. Of course Portis. Who knows if we're gonna be effective against the run, this is always hit or miss. Will we have a Trotter appearance finally??!!??

Receivers need to get open and more importantly catch the damn ball. I'd like to see a healthy dose of Westbrook, Buck and Moats, but that will not happen unless Reid realizes defenses know he's going to play pass all day. I want to see Westbrook all over the place Sunday, they need to utilize him more. L.J. also. He needs to step it up, he's due for a good game. Donovan needs to rely more on his feet than the receivers. If we are laying catch-up he needs to tuck it and go. No-more wait wait wait sack. Throw it away man!

My head says yes, Reid gets everyone on page this week. He and the rest of the coaches actually gameplan this week. They come out strong and relentless and just hand it to the Skins. My gut says, it's going to be close and we don't start playing football until the 2nd half. Either way we win this must win game.

13-3 loss. I have no faith in this team to do anything.

If it wouldn't make me ill to do it and if I'd ever actually placed a bet on an NFL game, I'd bet Washington immediately.

eagles are impossible to bet when they play an equal or inferior team because they could score 35 pts just as easily as they could score 3

at least against the really good teams you know they are gonna lose

You are correct sir! The two things they do on offense is what the birds D sucks at. Already having visions of Cooley eating us alive underneath and little dump passes to backs out of the backfield wide open with nothing but open field ahead of them.

Oh yeah, I 'm feeling really good about this game.

General_Failure · November 06, 2006, 02:28:48 PM

All the talk about how stubborn Reid is with his gameplan and philosophy, but here's every team in the division with a pass catching TE, and Jim Johnson not caring about the linebackers.
