btfoom Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I hate the Iggles (like I hate every out of town teams). That being said, all of the folks here trying to pretend that the Iggles didn't make themselves a better team in the offseason are being delusional. Their defense had made significant upgrades, especially addressing their weaknesses that were exposed by last seasons playoff debacle. Here's the bottom line - the Iggles will do as well as the doggie killer vick leads them, period. They had to made their defense better, and have clearly done so, but their obvious hole still exists. Until vickie makes one full, good season, he'll always be a question mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander PK Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 This move by them reeks of win now. The icing on the cake. That's fine, because in a couple of years I think the tides will have turned in our favor in the NFC east. Like somebody else said, we get younger and faster, while they get older.

redskins55 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Hopefully our players will play with a chip on their shoulders against the Eagles like they played against the traveling circus that was the Dallas Cowboys with Romo sits to pee, Witten T.O, and Ware. Thats the only chance we'll have against Vick, McCoy, Jackson, Macklin, Nnamdi, Rogers Cromartie, and Jenkins. And folks please stop with this The Eagles are the new Washington Redskins.. Pahleez! They traded their back up QB for a 2nd round draft pick, and they signed top free agents to come to a team that is already proven! The Redskins signed top free agents attempting to make our unproven team good. There is a BIG difference! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're afraid of the Eagles, I'm scared of what you thought of the Packers last year... Tramon, Woodson, Collins, Finely, Rodgers, Hawk, Mathews, Jenkins, Raji, Jennings, Driver.... like, we beat that team. Just like we beat the Eagles. I understand fully who Nnamdi is. It's not always fun playing on the other side of Nnamdi though, let me tell you that. Not everyone can really do it. And the way to attack that team is if DRC is on the field, and it's run to his side, and throw to his side. He is not physical, he is simply a play maker on the ball.

SkinsGuy Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Why have you watched this team for the last ten years?With the exception of maybe 1 year with Gibbs, you had to know we weren't ever going to compete. But it's your team. That's why you watch them. And you take pride in believing that things will be better in the future. I watch this team b/c I always believe the Redskins will compete and win. And you didn't answer my question. If you are so convinced that the Eagles are going 14-2 and the Redskins are going 2-14, why bother to watch? It's hopeless before you start. I mean, if your vision is so accurate, surely you have better things to do than watch a hopeless team and annoy us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really shouldn't try to reason with someone, McD5 in particular, especially when it says "Perpetual Fail and No New Threads" by their name... Speaking of McD5, I haven't seen you on here in a while...you been chilling with Ladell Betts? Any year now he's gonna have a break out year!

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 11 pages and 156 posts as I write. On the freaking Eagles. In a thread in the Stadium, the Redskins domain on these here boards. Nice to see the ES craziness is back in full swing around here. :dunce: :insane: :doh: Why are yer's all getting bent out of shape on the Eagles anyway's? Aside from the fact their no threat to us as we're no threat to anybody, the Eagles are the Eagles. They'll ALWAYS find new and inventive ways to screw the pouch when it comes to playoff time, often against teams they have no right losing to. It's one of the major pleasures of watching the post season and makes not being involved all the more bearable. Just who will the big green Philthy playoff comedy show lose to this year? It's always been thus. And it always will be. No matter how much talent they have. However long it takes, we'll win a 4th Lombardi before they win a first. And you can quote me on that. Screw the Eagles. We have bigger concerns than that shower. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riggodrill44 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Gotta tip my hat to the Eagles. They built a SuperBowl contender primarily through the draft and left enough enough cap room to add impact free agents to put them over the top. Nice work.As far as how the Skins will do in their two meetings against them: I care...but I really don't care. Not this year. We're on a mission from God. They don't draft well.They sign the right guys as FA . They just did it again, former 1st rd DT for a 5th rd pick former 3rd pick cut.They blow so many high rd picks its rediculus.

I say what I mean and mean what I say this team is going to be Horrible for the next 5 years because Shanny and Jr.'s their ego's.

megared Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 How in the world did the Eagles get him so cheap? I think Jenkins' idiotic agent saved us from ourselves. Surely if he had another offer in the neighborhood of what we were offering, he wouldn't have settled on what is essentially a 1 year, $4 mil contract from the Eagles. Makes me question whether we overpaid Bowen or not, because we allegedly offered him the same contract we set as our final offer to Jenkins.

Trippster Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 A move that's flying under the radar is the fact that David Akers is no longer with the team. Would love to see them struggle with a new kicker. I can't help but think they'll be much worse in that department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoony Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Football is a sport that you cant buy a championship, the Redskins have proved this lol This is absolutely false. By and large the winners of the Superbowl over the last 10 years have had the highest paid players in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NattyBo Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 This is absolutely false. By and large the winners of the Superbowl over the last 10 years have had the highest paid players in the league. Exactly. The only thing the Redskins have proved is you can't win by buying all the wrong players and overpaying them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, because the Eagles have been a consistently well run and professional organization. If they fail to win it all this year, it's not an indictment of how their franchise is operated, it's just is what it is. The reason the media bashes the Redskins for being a poorly run organization is because we have been a poorly run organization. I don't know why people get so upset about it, it's not the media's fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCranon21 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 The burning question I have is how long will Desean Jackson hold out? The Eagles are passing all this money around to others and forgot about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is everybody here so infatuated with the media and how it views the redskins? You realize that if this team were to ever start winning again, this stuff would take care of itself, right? The eagles have earned the benefit of the doubt by being a great team, just as the skins have earned their rep by being awful. Simple as that.

Art Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 The contract Jenkins signed tells you one thing. We weren't offering him anything like people were saying. More than this, for certain, but not MUCH more. Philly got a better player than we got and he's less expensive than the one we got. Ours is younger with more of a future. And with no injury history. Honestly, I'd rather have Jenkins, but, time may be on our side, for once, with this one . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkart Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I wouldn't compare this to the FA spending the Skins have done in the pass and failed, cause we did it with a poor/losing team and usually a new coach and system. The Eagles just won the division and had a pretty damn good team already and long standing coach and system, this is more like what NE has done in the past. The Eagles are going to be the team to beat. I think their weekness could well be the QB position though, Vick will not have the same season he had last year, although it could be solid. But if he gets hurt, and odds are he does, then they are in serious trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Never warmed up to the idea of bringing in the Jenkins brothers. Cullen Jenkins is good but often injured. Stephen Bowen has flashed some potential, lacks the history of injuries, is younger and last but not least he appears happy to be a Skin. If Cullen wanted to be a Skin he would have signed instead of jacking around so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The disastrous 2000 "dream team" was in fact coming off a division title and a playoff win. The "improvements" didn't work out so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
