Redskins / Eagles Prediction Thread: A New Beginning


skins island connection

Recommended Posts

Skins are lifeless. Their D putrid. RG3 is being wasted.o

Philly sucks but as with current Skins tradition, they lose to a terrible team with a rookie QB at home:

Philly 23

skins 13

Then on to an ass wupping in Dallas for Turkey Day.

Someone will start Fireshanny.com.

Tell us how you really feel.

Well...seeing as how I will be in atendance at the game.....am definitely expecting a Redskin victory. Do not want to see our D make Foles starting debut into an ESPN highlight reel. Guess we will see if Shanny really lost the team with his presser after the last "must win" game.

Skins - 28

Eagles - 14

I could say that I hope, or that I expect for us to play well this weekend, and fire away on offense, or create turnovers and wreak havoc on defense, but deep down, I don't believe it will happen. I've seen this movie way too many times to be gung ho about a victory. I'd be ecstatic if we won, but I feel like this will be another chapter in the big ass multi-book epic known as "The Adventures Of The Same Ol' Redskins." I'll happily cheer for them them to prove me wrong, but until I see a pulse with this team, especially after the Carolina crapfest, I have no reason to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Eagles 28

Redskins 20

Week 11 is here. The Washington Redskins and their coaches have survived the gauntlet of scrutiny from the fans, some calling for changes while others are calling for coach's heads.

The Philadelphia Eagles limp into town, with a matching record and many problems of their own. Michael Vick suffered a concussion and will not likely play, so the keys to the QB job are handed to Nick Foles, a rookie who played ok vs the Cowboys, but with a patchwork o-line [ sound familiar? ] eventually was too much to overcome. Their HC Andy Reid, although a coach of a division rival, is a class guy who has suffered through personal problems as well as team problems, and fans are throwing wood on his bonfire of job security.

The Redskins on the other hand have their own issues, mostly on defense. Their inability to stop anyone through the air has fans frustrated and calling for their own DCs head. RGIII and Morris, 2 very bright beams of light, appear to be carrying the team as of late, with receivers having issues dropping passes and running routes properly the weight of the team falls mostly upon these 2.

Look for a dogfight of a game! Both teams hate each other, it will be a physical game, with a Redskins front 4 that cannot get QB pressure vs an Eagles o-line which cannot stop anyone, this will prove to be a very interesting and exciting game to watch.

In the end,

Redskins 37

Eagles 33

This is the exact kind of game I have grown to expect will be a Redskins loss.

I am so down right now I have to admit. I know they are 3-6 but the matchups look horrifying to me. They are so fast at the skill positions. I would take some solace in their offensive line and rookie QB for this game but I actually th ink our pass rush is even worse than their o-line and Foles didn't look incompetent against Dallas and that is coming in cold for the first time against Dallas at home. He will be better this week and our history with rookie QB's is atrocious. I know. Debbie Downer.

For those predicting a loss, don't feel bad. Really, don't feel bad. I'm not sure what this team has shown over the last 3 weeks, the last 3 seasons, hell the last 20 years that would make you have one iota of confidence that we'll win this game or any game.

I predict all the games every week and write down the final scores. I can't tell you the last time in a season that I picked us to win more than I picked us to lose. I think the Saints and then Rams game, I predicted wins this year, then I've picked against us every week. I took Philly this week.

I've got a good feeling about the Skins producing in this game. The Skins defense will not be great, but the Eagles offense will not be in synch enough to take full advantage. The Skins receiving corps will hang onto enough passes to keep the chains moving.

Psychologically, the Eagles are not going to get healthy on the Skins with a win -- because it's already too late for Philly to get 'healthy.' I suspect lot of Eagles figure Reid's tenure is over, and consequently some may be going through the motions to make sure they are healthy enough to figure into the next Eagles coach's rebuilding plans. Shanahan seems more entrenched here -- so Skins players need to show effort to keep impressing their current coach.

Both teams seem penalty-prone. I suspect the Skins might show more improvement this week than the Eagles, especially since they are playing at home.

Prediction: Skins win 23-21

I like this write-up and score prediction.

I'll be DVRing the game though to avoid the need of a drink afterwards :)
