Official Game Thread - Week 16 - Eagles @ Commanders

[36ST21]

This game could possibly have changed the course of the postseason. Who knows how long Hurts will be out.

 

[burgold]

Holy shit!

Like I said in the first quarter. Stop the defeatism please.

Hoooooooleeeeee shit

 

[Gooseneck]

Can't wait to watch this game- I want to see how Newton did- Otherwise, I am in shock

 

[Conn]

Incredible finish. Jayden is the real deal, and most of the country just watched that happen

If we can beat the Eagles despite FIVE TURNOVERS, Hurts or no, we can potentially win a playoff game

 

[burgold]

See above. Very happy to have been very wrong. Shouldn't have been so nerve-wracking, but the final result is all that matters.

No better feeling than being wrong sometimes.

 

[36ST21]

Would love to see Alcoa bring back "Fantastic Finishes"

 

[China]

Wow! To overcome 5 turnovers against a top tier team to win is impressive, regardless of Hurts being out.

 

[burgold]

So, does this finish overtake the Hail Mary for amazing finishes?

 

[clskinsfan]

Turned the ball over 5 times to one of the best teams in the league. And still beat them. This team is getting better every week. And will be peaking going into the playoffs. Still not a Super Bowl winning level team yet. But damn it feels good to be a Washington Football Fan right now.

I would have to say yes. That was a lightning strike. This one was like getting hit by lightning, scrambling under a tree, having a wasp nest drop on you, running out and getting hit by lightning again, then somehow still crawling to safety.

I thought i was pessimistic.. you take it to the next level. Phili couldn't close the game out and Wash great D adjustment at half time .. and and this one guy called JD... thats how we won... unlikely sure.. but always in it.

As someone who has been hit by lightning, got up, and had to continue his day. Yes, this was like that.

(And yeah, I really was once hit by lightning)

You mean JD.....5 Touchdowns!

 

[burgold]

Also, stupid, worthless Giants.

 

[HoggLife]

Funny one of our fellow fans talked smack to me when I was mad that we were beating ourselves. His response was i was stupid for thinking we could win that game. That didn't age well. Why would someone be a fan and just automatically think we shouldn't win a game. Expecially a division game where records don't matter. I expect us to win every game. Why would I not?

This feels a lot like the first Eagles game we played in 2010. Michael Vick was in his prime, we injured him, and then beat Kevin Kolb. Eagles QBs should fear us.

This team is light years different than what we had under the previous regime. What an incredible win, especially seeing the faces on those green jersey wearers in the stands.
