Redskins @ Eagles

[hanburgerheel]

Defense wins a game.

[cowboykillerzRGiii]

As much as I like touchdowns... with this fn D.... CT should've gave himself up on the 2. Take three knees and then kick a FG

How dare you criticize this defense.

Dog. I told you, we all criticize and critique this team and it's coaches... the "this game is over" "this team sucks". Is the garbage you post.

[NYFINESTSKINSFAN]

We won

[Burgundy&GoldForever]

Big play if true ...

[absinthe1023]

That was the only way to win this one. Make a play and make it undeniable. Bend don't break, right?

It's called frustration

[absinthe1023]

Great of the announcers to remind us that the fecals have suspensions and injuries to deal with. What a cross to bear, I guess the 31 other teams are at full strength...

[cowboykillerzRGiii]

Nyfinest-
I hear ya.... but it's just adding injury insult, salt in the wound type stuff.. we all feel the same frustration, this team is hard AF to watch each week! Pointing out the player who wiffed or the play call that was atrocious or the bad call by the ref, is one thing. Bashing our team and going off on the knee jerk reactions is just hard to read at those times of frustration.

[PulpExposure]

Ryan Kerrigan is an absolute stud.

All is good. This defense is of serious concern and better get addressed during the offseason.

[cowboykillerzRGiii]

Amen!
I feel myself aging each game I watch this year- my heart cant take another year of a top 5 offense backed by a historically bad D....

The announcer made some good points today, which is rare for the ever bias announcers. One if which, that the D is actually doing the hard parts well, then missing the layup. They get through first and second down, then *sh$t* the bed on third and long... SO painful to watch them give up a wide open pass in the middle of the field for 13 yards on third and 10.

A top ten D makes us SB contenders with the current weapons on Offense

Yo - Philly

[DarthMonk]

Two terrible calls to the benefit of the fecals, just like clockwork. The refs can't stand a fair game where the 'Skins are concerned. How many hits like that have the fecals delivered over the years that have been classified as "great hits" or "real , tough football" and not penalties?

Rigged.

We destroyed Sproles and the ball hit us in the back. Penalty for sure.

[DarthMonk]

Doesn't matter. The refs got what they needed with the reversal of Crowder's catch and the horrific call on the Sproles hit. They will make sure to let the fecals do whatever they need to do to convert this 4th down and go on to score a TD.

Crowder's OB non-catch was correctly ruled OB. His other "incomplete" was correctly ruled a catch and a number of steps and down by contact on review.

Sproles call was correct as we hit him before ball arrived. Ball hit us in the back as we delivered hit.

[DarthMonk]

Refs got this. No matter what happens, fecals get the ball. They have come to far to fail now!

I do not think the refs are remotely in-the-tank for the Eagles.

This

[DarthMonk]

Should have kicked the PAT there. No guarantee the Eagles can even execute a snap at this point.

Must disagree. Cannot allow the possibility of a PAT winning for them this late.

[DarthMonk]

Great of the announcers to remind us that the fecals have suspensions and injuries to deal with. What a cross to bear, I guess the 31 other teams are at full strength...

Agreed. Announcers in the tank for sure. Refs were fine, though - not great but plenty fair.

Philly scored 22 with a pick 6. D held them to 15.

[Burgundy&GoldForever]

Sproles call was correct as we hit him before ball arrived. Ball hit us in the back as we delivered hit.

True, however Sproles should have called a fair catch. Instead he crouched down and got nailed in the chest with a shoulder.

[SkinsJock]

Sproles got tagged high - some shoulder, most of the contact was to the helmet

If Sproles had not been hit early and had caught the ball he would have been hit so hard he would have fumbled

True but we hit him early so it's a penalty for sure. We were definitely not head-hunting though.

[SkinsJock]

no doubt at all that the guy thought he was tackling a player with the ball and had no intent at all to hit the guy high

[tribeofjudah]

#22 Everett is trying to SHOW coaches that he belongs on the field. But I think he will be getting a letter from the League Office for that HIT on Sproles. That was a mean hit and way too soon.....BUT NOT intentional on his part. The ball hit #22 on the back on his numbers. But I think his aggressive nature will reap him more playing time.

[Deadskins]

He wasn't hit high, Sproles lowered his body into the strike zone. He was hit early, though. The defenseless player call earlier was the same. Had the Smeagol stayed at the same level the hit would have been delivered to the chest. This gets called all the time, but I think the league should consider the actions of the player getting hit into the equation.

[SkinsJock]

to clarify, the Sproles hit was not intentionally high by #22 - he thought that Darren Sproles was going to catch the ball and he tackled him - it happened that Sproles lowered his body and the contact was made - the contact was to the shoulders but it seemed to me that there was also some contact to the helmet ... others here do not agree with this ... so to further clarify - here it is

the correct call was made by the officials and it's all part of the game
