The-Hogs.net - Washington Football Discussion, Redskins to Commanders Era

Redskins beat Philly by 25. RGIII throws for 4tds and runs for 80+ yards. Hopefully this win is the shot in the arm this team so badly needed. Nice in fellas!

And our next opponent is in overtime against a 2 win team. Hopefully that takes something out of them.

I really liked the effort by our receivers today (wr & te). After several weeks of dropped passes I loved seeing Moss and Paulsen going up to fight for the ball and then fighting for the extra yardage for TDs.

Tip of the cap to the Defense as well for creating pressure, turnovers and holding Philthy to just 6pts.

Yep, it has been a long time since we have seen the Redskin receivers fight for the ball.

The Browns lost

I can't find the post now, but earlier this week someone was saying that the Eagles were licking their chops at the prospect of playing us. I certainly hope that was true, and that they felt they got their money's worth.

I loved the enthusiasm we had on Defense. Even if we are lacking in talent they played with heart that was missing most of the year. Then again playing Dallas on Turkey day will be a better measuring stick.

Booyah!


WAY too many stupid penalties, though. At home, no less. That's not good.

That would've been a penalty anyway.

I think that having Merriweather back there for a while was a huge confidence boost for the db's... and it carried over after he was hurt.

Dallas, while winning, must have had their confidence shaken a bit... hopefully, 3 days won't be enough to fix it.

I hates DullASS.

RG3.

Q: what is the name of perfection?

This will tick some people off, but D Hall had a great game today.

Merriweather was a BEAST out there. INT and tough, hard hits....HAIL YEAH

I'm thinking there's a possibility of a fine, despite the very embarassing miss... clearly, he thought he was launching at Griffin's head, with intent to inflict a game changing hit... and disregard for the rules...

it almost looks like he might be trying to jump over him on purpose to avoid hitting a sliding QB and getting a penalty, and/or getting his own legs cut out from underneath him.

He wasn't sliding; #95 was tackling him.

I think the improved safety play helped.

Maybe more importantly, we were able to get pressure.

Drop the "maybe," you're absolutely right.

Yep.
Merriweather was key. I haven't heard the scoop yet on him. I hope he can make the Dallas game. IMO I think he had our defense fired up. He tackled well. He hit hard. He doesn't look very big but he was getting the job done.

I have to agree. I was pulling for him to get his pick 6. He was around the ball often.

Get real. He was avoiding an illegal hit.

I was at the game and when he got off the examining table near the bench, they gave him his helmet back which is an indication that he could have played; however, there was no reason for him to get back in there with the game pretty much out of reach at that point. I suspect that he will be good to go next week.

He hurt his right knee in the second half, an injury which looked somewhat serious on the field and Meriweather did not return during the game. According to Meriweather, that was just because of the 31-6 score

True.. some of that pressure was from Mr D Hall himself
