I love that photo above.
Let's hope Luvu can get more mitts on Hurts.

 

[DWinzit]

Keep penalties down
Stay healthy
Protect Daniels
Don't miss kicks
Fair officiating (I already said keep penalties down)
Don'tt turn the ball over
Keep Lattimore on AJ Brown
Make adjustments as required
Contain Hurts
Don't miss tackles
Force turnovers
Keep S Juste off the field (wait, I already said keep penalties down)
Washington wins!
Philly fans cry

Can Frankie Luvu or Bobby Wagner run full steam directly into Nick Sirianni on the sideline? I’d consider that a win.

And I’d add 2 more, keeping Barkley contained as well as hoping Devonta Smith doesn’t go off…even if we do all of the above things like Lattimore shadowing Brown we still have to watch for Smith on the other side who has had some huge games against us on the road…. i.e 2 yrs ago…

Will Chinn and Ertz be playing?

 

[Chris]

Too early to know since they are both in the concussion protocol. I wouldn’t say either are likely but Chinn has a better chance than Ertz.

How do you feel about the protocol?

How do you feel about the protocol?

What does that mean?

I’m almost certainly going to miss this game. Sadly. I will be in India. Unless I can figure out a way to stream it at midnight. We’ll see.

I was in India in 2007 when the Skins beat the Cowboys on that insane ending, the blocked kick/facemask/untimed down FG.

I woke up and read about it online.

I’ll take that again…

Current extended forecast for Sunday in Landover.

My money is on them leading again at halftime and then giving it away in the 2nd half, again.

That is the one thing they need to start figuring out.

37-17 Eagles.

Skins have trouble stopping the run (even when fully healthy) and Barkley comes to town. Not good.
No N.Brown,Ertz or Eckler and seemingly no willingness to work McCaffrey and Sinnott into the game plan. Are those two answers/help for the offense? Who knows? They don't use them. Not good.

It will be close for awhile but the Eagles superior talent in both trenches will eventually wear the Skins out and the Eagles pull away. Not good.

No key to the BGO liquor cabinet for this game. Not good.

You know, Santa can only do so much at Christmas.

 

[SkinsLife]

For the life of me I dont understand why they keep starting Wiley over Lucas at RT. Lucas is by far the better Tackle and the couple of games he started there... the O line was actually dominant in the run game.

Strength and conditioning man, that's the key...

Not for this week, but…
