But they're the Eagles and McNabb vomited during the Patriots one, so that only counts as half! That’s a pretty good point actually ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next week, 26-3 skins over the aints. We are going to be dominant this year, just look at how well we did shutting down Aron ****ing Rodgers.

Going Commando Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 We're pretty good and the Eagles don't have their magic from last season. It'll be a competitive fight for the division. It also feels like we need to win the division to get to the playoffs because the NFC North is a lot more competitive than expected and the NFC South will probably send at least two teams. And Seattle is always a threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cherokee Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 His commentary is designed to agitate. Obviously, he is worried that the winning ways of the Redskins are near. He is afraid to feel that bile in his stomach starts to churn every time the Eagles face the Skins. His voice is loud like a bad rap song through cheap speakers. Don't pay any attention to it. This franchise has worked hard through every adversity... though sometimes self-imposed. Unfortunately, we, the fan, feel the pain greatest. He hates the Redskins; don't hate the Eagles or you'll be just like him. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and he beat the Vikings the next week (the roughing call on 4th down was BS, that game was over), it's all just BS to push a narrative.

Some reason i was thinking Philly lost back to back Super Bowls Against Panthers and patriots in the early 2000s. Point still valid though, they were in the super bowl twice in the past 20 years, which NickyJ stated that the top franchises should do, so that would still make the eagles one of the top franchises You realize that it is literally impossible for them to go to the SB against the Panthers, right?

NoCalMike Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Washington has been the assumed bad team of the NFC East for the last 20+ years. When they aren't bad, it surprises most reporters. They often try to resist the temptation to put them in the conversation of the good teams. That's fine, I don't blame them, this franchise pretty much deserves the bad press it gets. However I will say that making grandiose statements on a team based on games in September is a fool's errand. Claiming Washington is bad or piling on about it is just lazy low hanging fruit. Chances are yeah this team will likely be at or around .500 when the season is over. Maybe they won't be, but the odds are that is where they will be, about the same as they have been for the last three seasons. So most reporters are just getting a head start on what is usually the inevitable. Right now, they are 2-1 with a showdown against the Saints on MNF. After that game they will be 3-1 or 2-2, neither of which is a horrible start to the season, although one of those records definitely looks much better aesthetically.

That's fine, I don't blame them, this franchise pretty much deserves the bad press it gets. Good post - I wanted to hone in on one opinion that I completely share. Reporters from other markets or national reporters have to "cover" 32 teams. Teams like the Browns or Redskins have traditionally allowed those reporters to pencil them in for last place and focus more of their attention on the better teams or teams who might more realistically rise up to compete. Sure, once every five years they'll be wrong and we'll go 9-7. Oh well, that just buys them four more years of throwing us fourth and being pretty on-the-money. Hopefully the past 2-3 years is actually changing that, but I don't blame anyone for not trusting this "trend" yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patriots, Steelers, Ravens, Packers, Colts, Broncos, Saints, Giants, Panthers, Seahawks to name a few. Explain how the bolded have been more successful over the past two decades. Giants have missed the postseason more than they've made it under Eli. SB wins aren't the be all and end all. Especially considering the first one was because of a fluke play. Seattle? They've lost more SB's than they've won. Carolina? 12 years between SB appearances. The 7-9 Saints, sans 2009, have been very dissapointing. Especially considering they have a hof QB. Ravens have missed the postseason more often than not too. But it's debatable. Colts can be debated. I factor in division titles, attendance & popularity, playoff appearances.

skinsmania123 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I am not 100% convinced the Monday night game is going to tell us a lot about the trajectory of the Skins this year. Chances are they lose and then win 3 straight. It is more about their identity which I believe they are still trying to figure out. Still believe Drew Bree's is going to light up our secondary. The only way he can't is if our D line puts him on his ass a few times and stuffs their RB early and often. Can the Offense respond? Not in a shootout they can't. Not with this QB. So this is going to boil down to the D in this game IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Hopefully Monday is this year's Raiders game. Going into that game, the census was that the Raiders were on their way to a great season and the 'Skins would be their usual 8-8ish team. It was supposed to be a coming out party for the Raiders offense. Well that game flipped in a hurry. The big difference is that this game is in the dome which is huge for the Saints offense.

Watching them play on Thursday had me shaking my head as to how we could let them manhandle us they way they did. Its why I have zero confidence in the team, home opener after an away win and you let a bad team own you. That game baffles me and its why I have no clue what we are, but we're gonna find out real soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look at that game against them as all on the offense. Defense actually played well but got worn down since our offense couldn't move the ball. I haven't seen our OL play that poorly ever, and I think that was on their DL being pretty decent as evidenced by the 17 sacks on the season. Smith didn't have any time to do anything, our RBs didn't have any space, so we lost that game because one of our strengths got manhandled.
