....how in the heck are we going to be able to stop philly, namely Mcnabb and T.O.. If anyone has any thoughts I'd like to here them. If our offense can't score points, our defense will be able to hold them for only so long. What say you?

Chaulk it up as a learning experience...that's probably, though I still have a glimmer of hope, all that we can do. I just hope Ramsey makes it through.

I am watching now. To be honest, comparing your D to the Cowpile's D is a joke. I am not going to make any predictions or stuff like that. But this is ridiculous. They have a 5th string CB trying to cover T.O., I think your guys will fare much better the Cowpiles are. Not to say you'll win of course

Why can't Dallas play like crap for us?

The cowboys where able to spread out philly's D a couple of times and get one of their linebackers in single coverage on a running back. I think we will be able to exploit that some. I'd love to see one of their linebackers cover Portis. The question is, will Ramsey have enough time to get it to him.

I worry about our ability to beat the Philly blitz, because Patrick isn't all that great at touch passes. However, I believe that Gibbs and Co. can draw up a scheme to beat the Philly blitz, it will be up to the players to execute.

I can't wait to see T.O. come across the middle on Shawn Taylor Hopefully he'l do what we drafted him for, LAY SOME WOOD!!!

We won't beat either team if we don't score more than 18 points!

The first half of that game will be one for the EPSN Classic reruns! Its about to be 42 to 21! This game could end up with 100 total points.

Oh My Goodness! T.O. with 3 touchdown passes SO FAR!!!!!!

Fred Smoot, Shawn Springs, Marcus Washington, Antonio Pierce, Ryan Clark, and "The Punk" Sean Taylor.

The Eagles have looked great on offense but their D and special teams have been suspect, at best, tonight.

Dont worry. The only thing we do well is run the ball while that is the weakness of their d. Their strengh on o is passing and that is our strengh on d.

If we're going to have a chance we have to pressure McNabb. Against the Bengals we could not get to Palmer and in the first half he was able to pick our D apart. You have to hit McNabb and make him uncomfortable in the pocket, thats when his accuracy and decision making suffer.

Take away T.O. toucdowns and the score is 21-21 at this point.

plain and simple truth is that the book on ramsey is to zone blitz cause he cant see the field. so the skins are in touble. the eagles will bring 8 every time or zone blitz... i think it will be ugly. but hey we can hope taylor knocks the snot out of TO right??

Trotter is playing better tonight than at any point with us. I hope we can get him isolated in pass coverage.

Every team the Eagles have played thus far has said that they will shut T.O down. Wish you guys alot of luck.

The Steelers were able to do it.

One of 9......not bad.

Yes, we have the ability to run the ball better than the pass right now.

But remember who we just played that has one of the worst run defenses and Portis only went for like 80 yards.

If we have any shot at all to win PORTIS MUST RUN for over 100 yards.

I think we're going to run into trouble with spying McNabb. Arrington used to be our man for that but he's not in there. I think Marcus will cover those duties but that'll leave Lemar out in coverage and I think he may get exposed a bit.

One of 9......not bad.

Well you guys have only played 2 good defenses this year, the Steelers and the Raven and you're 1-1 against those teams and probably would be 0-2 if Jamal Lewis hadn't played. That being said the Eagleas clearly have a very formidable offense and they're hard to stop. All I was saying is that it's not impossible to stop them, as the Steelers showed in beating the Eagles and as the Bears and Ravens showed in close low scoring games.

We're screwed Who cares though, I just wanna see Terell getting picked off or knocked cold by Taylor. I think Ramsey is better than Brunell, but remember, he almost thew 3 picks so keep that in mind. A Bungel had the ball in his hands and dropped it 2 times.I hope Ramsey preforms well in this game,
but the mf o-line better block for him or else he'll be in pain. Go Redskins!

I will probably cheer so loudly you will hear me all the way from Indiana !

I hope we have a spotter on the QB so when he scrambles we have a man who will tag him. None of those 15 second plays on us, i hope !

I do think our D is better than Dallas's at this time though, so hopefully we dont let TO run wide open.

I see us staying close with them....I think we'll help ouselves by intercepting Mcnabb a couple times...if we can run on their D..which they have been known to giv up some big yardage on the running side...Tiki barber carved them up....IF, IF, IF Patrick Ramsey can cut down on his INTS then we have agood shot in pulling a major upset.....I predict Skins-17 Eagles-14
