CommDownMan Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 A bunch of posts giving grief and talking about defeatism. Well I think the skins can win AND Foles could break Luck's mark. Honestly, both these defenses have been playing terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsfan In NM Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Seriously folks, with the exception of the Panthers and Steelers we were in every game this season. Are you really going to try and convince me that any of those other teams were worse than the Eagles?? If we can hang in until the end with the Falcons, there is no reason we shouldn't be able to go toe to toe with the Eagles. Yes I fully grasp the fact that the 'Skins may very well lose this game, but to call it a forgone conclusion that we will lose it and badly from what some are saying is just idiocy in the extreme. Keep the faith 'Skins fans. Good, Bad or just plain awful (lookin at that secondary here) they are our 'Skins and we root for them rain or shine! HTTR Oh and so we never forget... Screw Goddell and Mara! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrstarr1 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 When I look at this match up Sunday there is one play that scares me. Philly will run the WR screen to Jackson early and often. This could be damaging and game changing based on the down and distance. I feel like our LBs can clog the run lanes and slow McCoy down. Heres to a sound game by our DB's. Run to the playoffs starts Sunday. HAIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 It's time to stop complimenting this team for "being in games" Hasn't that been the saving grace of every losing season for close to a decade now (other then 2005/7). Every single offseason we look at the final scores of games and justify what "could have been" Well guess what, we were in just about every game last season too, and the season before.....the good teams find ways to do what it takes to win those close games. Not all of them, not everytime, but more times than not to get themselves into the playoffs. Whether or not Foles has a spectacular game or not is besides the bigger point, which is that our defense, outside of Week 1 against the Saints, is making the life of opposing QBs extremely easy. What we all have to be hoping and crossing our fingers for is that some type of scheme was cooked up during the bye week that will generate a pass rush to pressure QBs. If not, they will continue to sit back in the pocket and stand around, waiting for one of the options to get open. And the Eagles WRs are speedy, quick and run good routes.....the last thing we want to see is for them to get the ball in open space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiggosMohawk Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 If history repeats itself, Foles will have a very pedestrian day. Every time, and I mean EVERY TIME, in Reid's tenure, when the backup QB is forced to start, he magically goes back to a balanced running attack to protect his poor untalented backup starter. Expect a heavy dose of Shady this week guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chachie Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Well **** then, why even line up? For that matter, why even play the season out? We might as well just forfeit all our games because we obviously aren't going to win any more, right? ...........Um.... Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMVP Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Eagles fan here. I expect some good things from Foles...and some 'rookie' things... I think it's unfair to judge him on the Dallas game...where he came in cold. He did some things I really liked, and haven't seen since Jeff Garica played for us. He anticipates routes...throws to a spot vs waiting until a guy is open and stopped to fire it in. This may take a while for the WRs to get the timing down...but it's a better way to play QB. Vick didn't do that...and McNabb surely didn't. He also has really good pocket awareness. Not elusive for sure, but he seems to know when to take a step here or there...instead of breaking into a full run when pressure is sensed (Vick). His pocket awareness and route anticipation are the things I'm excited about. These things help an oline....and gain more yac. But with the current state of this oline, these traits may not be as noticeable. We'll see I guess... I don't see a blowout either way in the game.

BleedBNG Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Lock of the century. We are going to punish the Eagles. You trippin! Normally, I would think otherwise because of the vs. a rookie QB situation in which the Skins seem to continue in the losing streak... but not this time. OK, our D secondary will make Foles look like another Manning... but I refuse to believe that he'll beat out RGIII on this one. The opposing rookie QB winning streak ends NOW. I'm with you (just not sure about the 'punish' part). Edit: Good lord, it was a punish... and Foles looked more like Beck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishop Hammer Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 We havent been the same without Fred Davis. You know what; I hate to say it but yeah. I've never been a big FD fan but he was a crucial part of the offense. Looks like picking him over Cooley was the right call. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santana_4_prez Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Well, I'm probably an idiot, but I'm picking up the Redskins D and starting them in fantasy. I think they will actually get pressure on the QB this week. Heck, the Saints had 7 sacks against the Eagles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch_Lives59 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 It would be different if Vick was the problem in Philly but that's not the case... Foles isn't the solution for them, they're pretty much putting icing on poop with Foles starting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HailfrmDEN Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 He may have a good game because any NFL QB can throw past a DB thats standing still or lined up behind the first down line. Hassbeen likes the zone blitz but we dont have fast players anymore good for the zone coverage. We can't blitz because the offense will throw to the hot route which will be wide open because we line up behind the first down line. Sadly we need this game just to fill the players with the idea that its not over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkLink Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I know our record at home is sad, but for a rookie who is debuting as starter mid-season, it may be daunting to play in someone else's house. I don't think he will break any records. In fact, I feel he will struggle like a rookie and get picked off 2-3 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
