The Game Prediction Thread - Week 4 - The Commanders @ The Eagles ~ Somebody Is Getting Their Feathers Plucked?

[zCommander]

 

Yeah. Not going to win this one unless there is some sort of a miracle or a real stout game plan.

 

Us: 13

Them: 34

 

With a miracle:

Us: 24

Them: 20

The game will probably be close in the early stages since it's a division game, but this team's OL deficiencies are too glaring and like last year's first meeting it's going to be a blowout

 

Philly:             27

Washington:  10

[Warhead36]

33-17 Eagles. Won't be a complete rout like last week but we're never really in it. 

[samy316]

This could get ugly really fast on Sunday.  EB is going to have to call a game similar to how Washington played Philly last year in order to have a chance.  This O-Line is going to get violated in ways that are unholy, if EB calls a pass-happy game on Sunday.  This is the kind of game where we need to rush the ball at least 40 times, and limit the Eagles TOP as much as possible to keep the game close.  I think we can keep it a close game if we go run-heavy.  If so then my final score is:

 

Washington 24

Philadelphia 27

 

If EB wants to call a pass-heavy game then the final score will go:

 

Washington 10

Philadelphia 38

[Chris 44]

Washington  20

Philadelphia 34

[Koolblue13]

I think EB is an idiot and will call the same game he has for 3 straight and the Eagles will tear us apart and Sam won't finish the game. Brissett will look decent in garbage time and it'll divide the board at QB again.

 

Eagles 38

Comodes 13

 

I'll put the over/under on sacks at 10

[kingdaddy]

Eagles O-line looked exhausted at the end of the game in Tampa and they have a short week vs a good defensive line. The only chance we have is by running the football well and beating the Eagles defense with some trickery/gadget plays. Arizona just thumped Dallas with this formula.

Sam will have to throw less than 18 passes for us to have a shot....and he'll need to throw 2 TD passes.

Birds                      38

Commandskins      15       

[Daniel.redskins]

This game will be a disaster and should not be used as a measuring stick.  Playing two contenders back to back can be demoralizing for a rookie QB.  If you need to take a Sunday off to be on good terms with the wife, this is the one.  34-10 team.  

[Inigo Montoya]

Going to need the ball to bounce our way to even be competitive... honestly we have been getting really good treatment from refs these days minus never calling roughing the passer when Sam gets murdered. 

The eagles were dealing with a stomach bug... I expect a hydrated and healthy team with a healthy beat down, the little bit of fan enthusiasm from the bandwagon will be running real low. I can't even drink during this one bc I have to drive to Nashville, I probably roll at half and listen to country music through tears all the way to music city. 

[skinsmania123]

My delusion is over.  The combination of Sam having a tendency to hold onto the ball too long, our O line operating like turnstiles, EB refusing to create some balance between the run and pass game, without radical adjustments, we lose. 

 

  Philly has a comparable D line to the Bills, so we need a flexible EB, to take some of the pressure off Sam, come up with a new design and allow Robbins and Rodriquez to run a lot more. We have had no balance.  And the D line must be able to get pressure on Hurts and force a couple of turnovers.

 

With no adjustments:  Philthy - 28

                                   Commanders -10

 

With adjustments - Philthy - 17, Commanders, 20.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

 

 

[GoDeep81]

I have serious concerns for Sam's health this week. That shot he took Sunday rattled him imo. Hopefully they can keep him upright and healthy another week.. 

 

Oh right, prediction: We lose again. 😢

[No Nonsense]

Washington 16

Philadelphia 31

The Bills have an average defense with 2 good LBers and 1 good DE. Eagles have an elite defense that almost broke the sack record last year and now potentially the next Aaron Donald.

 

[DJHJR86]

This has all of the shades of a blowout.  

 

Eagles - 28

Commies - 6

[DJD2]

48-10 Eagles, and will feel alot worse

[BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93]

They have no chance. Honestly. Horrible matchup. Last year was a complete fluke. I’m sure most folks realize that. I doubt the score will look as bad as Buffalo but they’ll never feel like they have any real hope

 

WSH 9

PHI 23 

[Redwards]

This is going to be ugly.

 

Eagles are a machine with a million ways to beat you on both sides of the ball.  And don't think they've forgotten how we walked into their stadium and took away their undefeated streak last year.  That was a very fluky game that went our way.  Not gonna happen twice.

 

Eagles D line will feast.  

Sam will possibly be sacked more than last week.  YIKES!

Our offense continues to be led with subpar gameplans that don't feature the run, which is the only thing half working right now.  I have no idea why our WRs can't get open.  It's as if we don't even have them on the team.

 

I am nearly certain we lose.  I'm confident we get embarrassed.  

 

Eagles 38

Skins   13  (I could see this even being only 10 points)

 

 

[DWinzit]

I pray for Howell's health Sunday

[Dan T.]

The offense gets inspired by the Dolphins...

 

Commanders 74, Eagles 3.

Admittedly it is going to be quite the task. But it will sure bode better for the outcome if EB gets the right game plan together, which should be run heavy, and then some throws to our talented squad of receivers. Let the TE's block for Sam.   And our D has to play like they did when we beat them last year.

Alternative point. if you have to avoid watching a football game because the wife would rather you not watch the game, maybe you have the wrong wife. 
 

Or maybe your (your being the collective person not you) just a jerk to her every other day and she wants you to spend one friggin day with her.

 

Either way you have screwed up and must reverse course. 
 

My wife and I will watch the Ders lose together: 42-17 eagles

I have been married for almost 26 years and there is never a time or a day to be on "good terms" with the wife lol

Here's how sad I am...when that score crept up toward 70 on Sunday, one of my first thoughts was of Dan T.

If this team had a competent FO and had drafted OL like the Eagles drafted on defense the past 2 years, this would actually would be a competitive game
