Game DayThread: Skins v Philly 10/23/17

Next week will be telling but the writings on the wall: Dallas will smoke us like they just did to SF.

Season ender next week at 1pm

Agree on Harris. We need some wide recievers other than Crowder to get open. Pryor is not ready or responsible

a Super bowl winner? no you won't.. that is if your a "baby boomer" or older.. if your 50+ you'll never see the Redskins win another super bowl. break out SB 26 and enjoy it again, it's the last title you'll see in your lifetime.

He’s a BUST!! He’s not till he proves it over a few games. He catches a td and everyone assumes this is the start. Miss me with that nonsense.

People need to realize Philly got lucky with Wentz. This is a dude who was a stud in D-1AA(!) football from North Dakota. He wasn't highly recruited out of HS, didn't start for 3 years in college and with two years of eligibility left he won two D1AA national titles. Big woop.

Still, no one could predict in year 2 as a pro, Wentz would look like the best young QB in the NFL. The kid just has that 'it' factor and an uncanny ability to make off schedule plays.
Nonetheless, that shouldn't be a minus against Cousins. Wentz right now looks like the best dual threat in the NFL. Think Steve Young and Elway.
THe kid is a freak, but that still doesn't mean we don't have a damn good QB in Cousins.

One problem on this offense is we lack great depth or talent at WR. TP is a fraud. Doctson is still learning the pro game. Crowder is MIA and Reed IMO is playing hurt.

Kirkland is a good NFL QB and too talented to let go on the hope we might get lucky to find a better replacement in the draft of FA.
Wentz is looking like a generational talent at the position and you simply can't hold that against KC.

If KC was 'better', maybe this game is closer. But how does that stop the Eagles on offense???

We have a lot of football left to play this season, hopefully we get another shot at these guys.

We will now be a spoiler for the teams trying to catch the Eagles and nothing more, particular the Cowboys. When the Skins get healthy(if they ever do) they might can upset a playoff team or two but 6 and 10 or maybe 8 and 8 is all we can hope for. I'm 54 and starting to believe that I will never see a Redskin team make it back to a Super Bowl or even better yet win one.

For a team that supposedly boasts one of the best offensive lines in football, passing on back-to-back drives on important 3rd and 1 situations with a 230lb RB is either extremely bad play calling or a serious vote of no confidence by the coach in that offensive line. I'd vote for option (a) myself. Just infuriating.

The game is at 4:25, and though I'm not one to bet on games, I'd bet you Dallas won't do us like they did the 'Niners.

I think the 'Skins in a close one. Some of y'all are fickle and hair-triggered.

It not fair triggered. They have done NOTHING to convince us they will win next week.

You are wired to view the negative, more so than the positive. You're free to do what floats your boat. I had a conversation with you two seasons ago, and would've thrown stuff in your face (as, you were dealing in fallacies to make a point at the time). But, I didn't do so, since we root for the same team. Whatever, dude.

I remember this conversation. If I remember correctly the issue was you wanted me to go into extreme detail and I didn’t feel like doing so. I didn’t think the conversation required it.
Right now we are a .500 team at best. The record reflects it as does our play on the field. Idk how me saying that we haven’t done anything to convince us that we will win next week is viewing things negatively.

Man - the Eagles are better now than the first game we played 'em and so are we . Tough going - but I like our team . The Chiefs and the Eagles put together multiple long drives after we started out well against both . Third down misses on our part and Wunderkind Wentz . Can't quite put 'em down when we have a chance to go up two scores . Shoot I dunno .

Stink - Wentz is Staubach. Go check the Dodger out on Yutube.

True Giles,but I know you saw the same thing I did last night.

Wentz is the type of QB where your only real chance of beating him is to sack him, because if you don't and think you can cover all his WR options, he'll simply run for the first down.

You try to stop Wentz from scrambling and he's going to eat up your secondary. The kid already has the ability to elevate his game as the situation dictates and he's unusually cold-blooded.
Wentz shouldn't be playing like this for a kid out of North Dakota State.

Wentz is the perfect example of why all NFL GMs still covet QBs with elite scrambling ability. And for those who think the read-option is a gimmick, better get used to seeing it more and more because it looks like one of Wentz's favorite play calls.

If I had a chance to pick either Newton/Luck/Mariota/Goff/Wentz to build my team, I'm taking Wentz and it's not close.

But I still believe if we had another RB who could really compliment CT, not career backups like Perine and Kelley, we'd be more dynamic on offense.
Our young secondary guys are not that far off and I'll be glad when we let Breeland go so we can get guys like Moreau and Dunbar on the field more often.

We simply cannot blow scoring opportunities against a team like Philly and play small ball. Unfortunately that's what happened last night.
