Did you know? (from NFL.com)
3-0. After a Week 1 loss to the Giants, the Redskins are going for a fourth consecutive win. ... Redskins QB Jason Campbell has posted a 100-plus passer rating in past three games and is second in the NFC with a 102.2 rating. ... Hall of Famer Sammy Baugh is the only other Redskins quarterback to post a 100-plus passer rating for a season (Baugh did it in 1945). ... Eagles rookie WR DeSean Jackson is on track for 88 catches and 1,308 yards. Both would be club rookie records.
My usual post game headlines will be late today since I'll be at the game itself! Go Birds!

Let's go Phillies!!
Beat the Brewers and bring on the Dodgers!
It would be nice if the Eagles would win too, but today is all about the Phightin’ Phils.
Just got home from work. Damn I didn’t want this to be such an important game, but it is. As usual, I need everyone’s consentration in hoping that I can catch the game :)
Come on Anuj
U can’t expect an Eagles fan to turn away from the game! And btw, my record listening on the internet (like today) is pretty good…rememberthe Rams game?…
Here is a little pregame notes and stats
-The Eagles have won three straight at home, outscoring opponents by a combined 70-18 in the process. Philadelphia hasn’t allowed a touchdown during its 3-game win streak at “The Linc.”
-Jason Campbell has yet to throw an interception in 2008. His 124 attempts to start a season without a pick are the most by any Redskin quarterback since Brad Johnson had 126 without an INT to begin 1999. (this could change when he meets asante)
-Clinton Portis recorded his 20th 100-yard rushing game as a Redskin last weekend (11th on the road). The Redskins are 17-3 overall in those contests and have won 10 of their last 11 when Portis goes over the century mark.
- Redskins rush is ranked #11 and the Eagles rush defense is ranked #1
- Redskins total offense #9, Eagles total defense #3
- Eagles total offense #6, Redskins total defense #14
DeSean Jackson = Little Giant 2.0

DeSean Jackson = Little Giant 2.0
the last couple weeks
people have found links to the game streaming online. I’m hoping that someone has one again
this kid
is big. channelsurfing.net is actaully working today btw
Washington is in big trouble
going to have to pass to make up the difference. Unleash the hounds JJ!
LJ and Brown both showed up today?1\
wtf is that all about?
Remember how last week felt at the start?
This one is the exact opposite, they’re doing everything well from the start, unlike last week where it was bad right away and you just got that feeling. Granted, they got it together last week and will probably come back to earth some in this game, but good lord it feels like the Rams game.
The Birds are an easy team to like when they play like this, PLUS get the breaks from officials.
This is definitely a need game, but then again the Eagles with Westbrook are better than .500 and the upcoming sked looks really favorable.
If they put some more distance between them on this drive, maybe they can use Westbrook a little less than they normally would.
… holy crap Reggie Brown is looking revitalized.
Akers is washed up
wtf are we still doing letting him kick long shots?
Problem is kickers are not a dime a dozen. Some no-name chump can miss from 50 just the same … I guess we want a guy Reid doesn’t trust from that distance so he goes for it more!
Better to work it out now so he knows when not to send him out there in key late-season games and, should we be so lucky, in the playoffs.
the way Sav is pinning them deep
I wish we’d just punt in that situation. 4th and 1 or 4th and 1 lets just go for it, otherwise outside of 40 let sav pin them.
Can someone explain this to me?
When Suisham kicked the ball it went THROUGH the uprights. How did he do that?
wheres westbrook?
I live in North Dakota and I cant follow the game other than on nfl.com. Anyways… I saw westbrook gettin the ball early but all Ive been seeing was buuchalters name for the last few plays, did westbrook get hurt? NFL.com doesnt update on injuries or anything.
upper body injury of some type
wasn’t related to his old injury, or at least it didn’t look like it was. and he didn’t look hurt badly
Fox said something about his chest … he took a series off but just played this last series.
Not sure it’s a terrible idea to have Westbrook miss a few plays in favor of Buck even if he’s fine … West stays fresh and doesn’t risk aggravating the injury, and Buck stays involved, and inevitably when we need him again, he’ll have been getting work in games.
Pam Oliver just said rib injury but Westbrook will continue to play.
with Westy's injury issues
I’m sad Booker hasn’t done more for us. We know what to expect from Buck, and he hasn’t played badly, but I think we hoped for some spark from BOok…
Only positive spin I can put on it is dude is a second-year player in a completely different offense, maybe his head’s swimming or they can’t trust him in pass protection yet.
If he does nothing all year I’ll be annoyed, but I’ll give him some time.
The birds are what they are so far without anything from Curtis, Booker and Chris Clemons … maybe we get something from them before it’s over. Nice to have guys like that in reserve.
The run defense ...
… looking good again. So far.
I think I read this week they were giving up just 2.6 yards a carry, which was an NFL best.
Skins building a little mometum ...
… I guess it wasn’t going to be a breeze all day.
Crowd cheering for Burrell’s HR, not this big second-and-7 :)
its the skins
they are a good team as much as we dont want to admit. i am expectin a close game.
DeSean Jackson = Little Giant 2.0
Yeah, I live in Redskins Country, usually I wait for them to crash and burn and weeks later for the fans to admit it … this year it was the opposite, everyone finally got off the bandwagon, but they have talent and Zorn is no dumbass. (they got back on after Dallas, but that’s not the point)
They’re tough. They can be beaten, for sure, but they’re tough.
i share that envy
we need a kicker. bad. lol, use one of the first rounders for it.
DeSean Jackson = Little Giant 2.0
and here we needed 1 out of 2
from outside 40 to probably win last week
so far
the redskins have doubled the total points the rams scored in the linc this year, and tied the steelers in thier total points, time to hold em off
Special Teams looking sharp today ...
… someone needs to teach Sav to do the “oh, I was hit” fall after they don’t block his punt.
I nominate Andy
I’d like to see that demonstration
The Redskins aren't going to go away ...
… The Birds are going to have to get aggressive again in the second half.
I’d take a miss here.
we handed them those points
in every sense of the word
we started so hot
but we have to finish. andy is gonna have to preach about finishing the drill. the staduim was on fire in the begining, but we died out. offense has to put 7 more on the board. ajay, u joined us
DeSean Jackson = Little Giant 2.0
fox hd isnt broadcasting in widescreen for me
anyone else having this problem? its really irritating
If they piss this away ...
… it’s gonna be a big problem. With the schedules the whole division is playing, it’s going to be tough to make up ground. It might not matter if the Eagles win 10 or 11 games if they can’t leapfrog WAS/DAL/NYG. They already have two NFC losses and a division loss, for tiebreaker purposes.
On the flipside, if they win … it’s 3-2 with @SF, bye, ATL @ SEA coming up.
Can’t overstate how big a half this is.
are u kiddin me...
another 3 and out, we cant be going like this, the skins will come roaring back
DeSean Jackson = Little Giant 2.0
The Redskins look like they're taking control of this game
playing smarter, tougher, harder … very calm after the early deficit.
Maybe we can dial up another “hold ’em to a FG” stop. Thanks in advance D!
I know your schtick is to be a hater, but the Skins are actually pretty good. It’s not like last week when the Birds are just playing shitty, the Skins are earning it.
weird play
The Birds have to man up. They ain’t going to be easy.
Reid challenge = loss (was he over the LOS, I have no faith in Reid’s challenges)
third and two...
common eagles. funny how london fletcher is 5’10’
DeSean Jackson = Little Giant 2.0
Seriously. This is bad football. At what point do you say that the Eagles are not a “good” football team?
When they fall to 2-3.
I still think they have plenty of talent, but if they can’t execute, they aren’t good.
If they pull this out, in a lot of people’s minds it’ll be like these middle quarters never happened.
They have definitely gone inept offensively.
The defense isn’t playing terribly (could use a turnover soon though) and the special teams is playing well.
Clearly it’s not adding up.
Outgained 266-81 since the DJax return …. maybe the D isn’t playing all that well. Ouch.
Less than two hours ago...
This looked like a rout. Now I don’t see us giving up less than at least 14 more points.
this is startin to get pathetic
we have #5 at fully health and westy. we have literally no offense
DeSean Jackson = Little Giant 2.0
It would be cool to get one of those bounces ...
… a momentum-changer is needed.
Likewise, the Skins spotted 14 and stuck with their plan and have methodically crept into the lead. It hasn’t been even a little bit fluky.
we can’t get a gift pass intereference call?
That is the matchup you want. Westbrook on London Fletcher.
im not watch
so whoever is, plz tell me what is wrong. dropped passes, bad passes from #5. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG!
DeSean Jackson = Little Giant 2.0
Remember last week when we said ...
… offense isn’t doing anything, can the D get a score?
Dial that post up again.
Double penalties, fun!
online stream died
watching the giants game… man do they have some good RB’s
This is the most listless, lifeless performance I’ve seen.
Andy Reid is dead to me.
Dear Andy Reid, will you stop SAYING that you have to put your players in a better position to succeed and just *&^$ing DO it.
your team is winning.

Portis
I thought you guys had a siiickwiddit run D, whats going on? Portis is just tearin you guys apart.
Huge Reggie Brown play. Skins forgot to tackle him dead.
We are going to need to steal this one like we did that one last year against the Redskins when Westbrook scored on that late screen.
It’s fairly evident that the Eagles are the 4th best team in the division right now.
Didn’t even need to score. A QB sneak would’ve got a 1st down.
It appeared McNabb changed the play though, maybe they can share the blame!
The only positive I can squeeze out of this is that suddenly it’s not so dead on the sideline, maybe someone is inspired to make a huge play. It is 23-17 with 7:18 left, it’s not over-over … but if they don’t win, that missed opportunity will loom large.
even if they win this one, its still a very bad win…they got dominated the whole game. the giants look real reaaddy.
Yeah, they’re looking 4th best in the NFC East right now. That’s not terrible, but it’s not playoffs either.
If they get the ball back here, I can’t fathom how they’re going to score the winning TD. Maybe they’ll get close and kick another field goal, then try to get the ball back again and run out of time.
If they don’t spend the whole bye week on red zone offense …
lol eagirls
wash had big playmakers out and they still domintaed the birds….eagles in the basement still lol…there done in the east
when was the last time you were celebrating at the end of the season?
i’m glad you’re celebrating after week five…you’re not even in first in the division.
lol

I'm out guys
Trolls aside, we’ll see what happens next week. And at least the Phillies won. See you all later.

poor remis
ur season is over buddy…enjoy lmaooooooooooooooooooooooooo
2-3
lmaooooooooooo no need to say more enjoy ur season byeeeee….talk to u next year…
Don't worry about him
He’s just another Pennsy Cowboys fan, probaby 18 years old, never liked the cowboys when they were down which is probably the reason he only recently joined a cowboys board. Just a frontrunner who has NEVER been to texas let alone dallas. Which is probably the reason that he is listed as a Phillies and a 76ers fan.
He’s just a transplant, with no life, and gets off on trolling other boards. oh wait, wait…LOL should I say that canty? maybe I should go lmao?? oh isn’t that funny. Wait, you’re going to say our season is funny right, right??
Be sure not to stay up to late watching football or you mom might get upset, you kids staying up so late.

I blame that on the beer honestly….This is a blog not english class..u need too chill out..do not be mad at me that ur team is in the basement of the nfc east…jezzzzz
ok ok thats enough from me
i know i said that many times but i think i should go and let u drown in your tears….
good day good sports!!
Phillies, Sixers, Cowboys?
You’re the Cowboys fan from Philadelphia, aren’t you?
You despicable front-runner.
Fire Andy Reid.
pretty funny
lol@frontrunner…Dallas has doe what the last 12 years…let me fill you in..they have done zero…now if thats what u call front running u got issues….maybe u became a eagle fan when they were winnning the east a few years back ..huh frontrunner…..You know , when the rest of the nfc east stunk, now that the east is better the iggles cannot not even hang …shamefull
oh, so you’re(that’s how you spell that word) saying that the cowboys couldn’t do anything even when the nfc east sucked?
correct wise a$$
The cowboys and the rest of the division was horrible..Eahles did well and took advantage of it…and they still could not win a championship lol…Now that the east is back andy is lost….get over it bud..here is an update for u..17451 days, 15 hours, 40 minutes, and 29 seconds have passed since the Eagles won a championship!
i know u love this lol...enjoy
17451 days, 15 hours, 42 minutes, and 1 seconds have passed since the Eagles won a championship!
i will update u again at a later time
not that this is actually worth my time
but hell im at work so technically its company time … whats the counter on the last Cowboys post season victory ??? just wondering … good day sir.
"I need to do a better job of putting players in the right position"
12 years ...i wrote that earlier....duh
however I was referring to a super bowl win not a playoff win..I do not have to go into how many dallas has…
McNabb
I’m sick of hearing top 5 quarterback when he’s healthy. Without scrambling, he’s a mid 10-20. Every time he threw the ball, the receivers had to adjust, either jumping or diving. The best YAC was Regie’s “no touch”. If you put the ball in the right place, the receivers can do a lot more.
