Maybe the Eagles fans were in a state of shock after that unexpected loss to the Lions but there wasn't anywhere near the amount of chatter about the upcoming game with the Skins as I had thought-or hoped.
Be that as it may, there was some, mostly fairly confident, but, as I have seen on other boards, a fair amount of wariness about playing a suddenly streaking Redskins team.

Calling it now, it won't be that close. Coming off a surprise loss in Detroit, the Eagles will hammer out a 31 - 24 win that only looks that tight because of a garbage time touchdown and field goal.

Eagles-Skins games are almost ALWAYS close

My gut tells me we are better at QB and on Defese than Washington but they seem to have our number. Jaccpot loves killing the Eagles. If they can stop crowder and their backs on screen type passes and hit Cousins we win the game

Redskins defense is horrible, keep 3rd downs manageable and they should be able to move the ball all day. Theyve got a lot of weapons on offense, they're definitely gonna score. Gotta make Cousins screw up a couple throws with pressure. I like the Eagles in this one
Maxx
No more of Billy Davis making Cousins look like Montana. I have confidence in Schwartz and the defense. This should be a easy win. After we get to harass Sam and give the Vikings their 1st loss.

Cousins can't beat teams with winning records. Eagles win. Their defense is garbage, too. 3-4 TDs by Wentz.
OhBaldi
The Ravens have a winning record but you're right
Anguis
Oh I forgot they beat the Ravens. Well then, point is he doesn't do well under pressure and against solid teams for the most part. Poor track record.

This game will be decided by the ability of our defense to control Cousins and the Redskins passing attack. Between Jordan Reed, Vernon Davis, DeSean Jackson, Jamison Crowder, and Pierre Garcon that is a lot of weapons. Cousins has destroyed us in the past.
Captain Obvious
Don't give him time to throw the ball. Especially to Jackson downfield.

No idea what to expect from this game, Skins have explosive playmakers on O , Schwartz needs to be on.

Between Bradham and Jenkins, I think the Eagles can prevent Reed from going off. Garcon worries me because he always hurts the Eagles and Carroll (who I assume will cover him most of the game) hasn't been very good this year.

Hi, the Skins are an up and down team. I bet they have a bad game this week.

Isn't reed out with a concussion too?
NIBGoldenchild
That's what I've heard. And he self-reported. So it was missed during the game Sunday. He probably won't finish the protocol before this Sunday.*
This last, and longest post was the most thorough game related analysis I ran across.
THE BEAST
1) We need a plan for covering TE Jordan Reed. (NOTE: Reed experienced concussion symptoms this week during practice, and as of now there is no word on whether or not he will suit up Sunday. If he does play, we need to be ready.) I
