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

come on guys whats diffrent from the last time we played the Eagles. One win against a terrible .500 team. I agree we can beat them(Eagles) but its the redskins and the redskins arent really known for big wins when we need it. If we do win I think we will roll into the playoffs.

If we beat the eagles we play the 49ers and thats a blowout. we play Dallas at Dallas and we win that game. Then the vikings which offence has downhill and no D.

Basically if we beat the Eagles we go.

A lot is different:

1) playing at home. Go back and check how many penalties we had because of false starts. That's a symptom of playing on the road. Remember the Skins had a first and goal at the 10, then had three straight penalties and missed a field goal. At home, maybe you tie the game there.

2) Ramsey. Ramsey has had more prep time, more time to get comfortable with this receivers, receiver have made a transition from catching Brunell's left=handed softies, to Ramsey's right handed rockets.

3)Randy Thomas. I believe, if I'm not mistaken, that Thomas missed the Eagles game, or at least part of it.

4) John Hall. Kimrin was horrible.

Will the Skins win? I don't know but they've got a shot.

1.) The EAGLES know that washington is washed up.NO O.
2.) Our starters will not be in the entire game.(your welcome)
3.) We are at Fedex.(Might have the skinz hopes high at the begining, Until our explosive O and Dangerous D show up)
4.) This game means nothing to us.
5.) the skins hopes for playoff birth will be shot down.
6.) Refer to Sig.

WHOS YOUR DADDY????

isn't he the guy that watched when your mom and i.....
wait a minute, this isn't the smack forum. apologies. carry on.

The Skins' hung with the Eagles for 3 quarters until the 1st and goal gone bad. After that our D got sloppy, I guess due to dissappointment. If our D can contain and shut down like they did in round one...and IF our offense can get into a rythmn by playing classic Skin's ball like they did vs the Giants...we are stong contenders. This is a real test for our guys.

You can never, ever predict the outcome of a Redskins/Eagles matchup. The intangibles are there. Philly might be tempted to coast through this one, while the Redskins might be somehow encouraged by the fact that they are not yet mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, although that could certainly happen this week whether we win or lose.
The differences are legion. I don't think NY lost 31-7 because NY is just that bad.
I think we're showing up, finally.

We need to build on the foundation we laid last week against NY. They need to BE CONSISTENT and carry some momentum over the offseason.

"Momentum" can't really be carried over a postseason, I'm sorry to say. You never really pick up where you left off. It's hard enough to keep momentum going from week to week, to say nothing of a six-month layoff.

Roll into the playoffs??? Roll? ummm....ok...8-8 MIGHT get us in with the pansy's in the NFC, but...sorry, I don't foresee us running the table, let alone rolling....and, I will admit I don't feel that's a "glass is 1/2 empty" attitude..
