Redskins-Eagles Open Thread
By Jamie Mottram | November 18, 2012
The bye week was so nice, but it’s good getting to watch RGIII again, and it sounds like Pierre Garcon and Brandon Meriweather are actually playing. Plus, it’d feel great to beat Philly, even if it’s the NFC East Basement Bowl. Enjoy.
Kickoff: 1 p.m. ET
Line: Redskins -4
Prediction: Redskins, 21-20

Pressure!!!
November 18th, 2012 at 1:05 PM
Shanny is wearing a maroon puffy jacket which is so much better than a mustard hoody. Good start!
November 18th, 2012 at 1:07 PM
EVeryone LOVES DeAngelo!
November 18th, 2012 at 1:08 PM
Darrel Young!

Skins –> DC United –> Mason

November 18th, 2012 at 1:10 PM
Bury ‘em so I can get to RFK on time!
November 18th, 2012 at 1:12 PM
solid meriwether wrap up. me likey.
November 18th, 2012 at 1:21 PM
They’re starting a rookie from Purdue against Ryan Kerrigan from Purdue. I’d like to hear some of the trash talk down there.
November 18th, 2012 at 1:21 PM
is samsquancth playing guarg for the iggles?
November 18th, 2012 at 1:23 PM
MERIWETHER IS WHO WERE THOUGHT HE WAS!
November 18th, 2012 at 1:26 PM
our 3rd down play calling is so horrific
November 18th, 2012 at 1:28 PM
3rd down needs more Banks. :D
November 18th, 2012 at 1:29 PM
Yet another 3rd down wide pitch. At this this one was to a running back and not the back up tight end.
November 18th, 2012 at 1:33 PM
Merri is blowin’ bitches up!
November 18th, 2012 at 1:35 PM
A Philly screen has NEVER failed against the redskins.
November 18th, 2012 at 1:37 PM
Foles on pace for 436 yards
November 18th, 2012 at 1:39 PM
Has Haslett never watched the Eagles under Reid? 90% of their offense are screen plays. Maybe should have game planned for that a little, no?
November 18th, 2012 at 1:44 PM
Screen passes are not runs. They are not handoffs or tosses. It usually requires multiple linemen to pull well outside the hashmark. In fact, they are quite different from runs.
November 18th, 2012 at 1:49 PM
Subtle athleticism is so…subtle.
November 18th, 2012 at 1:52 PM
what a lead block by young
November 18th, 2012 at 2:00 PM
Brian Billick is the kind of guy that makes me think I could be an NFL head coach.
November 18th, 2012 at 2:03 PM
Banks fumble out of bounds.
November 18th, 2012 at 2:06 PM
BANG THE ROCK UP THE MIDDLE! wht is with all these options for 3 yard losses?
November 18th, 2012 at 2:07 PM
Rocca just looked kind of fast. Pretty sure he’s going to jog over to his spot on the sideline and have a smoke.
November 18th, 2012 at 2:07 PM
Nice hit Alexander! Oh wait, that was on Banks.
November 18th, 2012 at 2:07 PM
God I hope Rocca didn’t hurt himself on that. Why can’t BB return the ball like that every once in a while?
November 18th, 2012 at 2:19 PM
first incomplettion of the half for Robbie Griffs.
November 18th, 2012 at 2:20 PM
did you see DRC launch himself at RG3’s head?!
November 18th, 2012 at 2:22 PM
WOW
November 18th, 2012 at 2:22 PM
Polumbo is getting abused.
November 18th, 2012 at 2:24 PM
FineMessi – yes totally saw that. Head hunting.
November 18th, 2012 at 2:26 PM
gif of DRC launching at RGIII. http://twitpic.com/bee9m1
November 18th, 2012 at 2:26 PM
RG3 seems to be conferring more with Cousins than Grossman today. /minutia report
November 18th, 2012 at 2:31 PM
@deepvalue: good job with the gif. i sat there for 2 minutes starting at it hypnotized… wondering to myself what would have happened if he connected. would the O-Line just beat the shit out of DRC right then and there? or would they wait outside his hotel room?
November 18th, 2012 at 2:32 PM
@Jeff i meant regarding the gif.
November 18th, 2012 at 2:46 PM
The Shananhii… coming out firing on all cylinders to start the half: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ytCEuuW2_A
November 18th, 2012 at 2:48 PM
christ meriweather
November 18th, 2012 at 2:59 PM
Not sure what DRC was thinking with that GIFshot. If he’d connected and wasn’t killed right there on the field he would’ve been suspended.
November 18th, 2012 at 3:02 PM
I’d like to think Trent would have suplexed him into the stands.
November 18th, 2012 at 3:02 PM
Banks totally selling the wr screen for 1 yard loss.
November 18th, 2012 at 3:03 PM
Mike Shanahan. The Anti-Gibbs when it comes to half time adjustments.
November 18th, 2012 at 3:04 PM
Santana Moss!!!! Ridiculous
November 18th, 2012 at 3:04 PM
SANTANA MOSS 2005!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
November 18th, 2012 at 3:06 PM
what the hell happened?! my internet feed cutout!
November 18th, 2012 at 3:08 PM
Forbath hurt on kickoff?
November 18th, 2012 at 3:08 PM
Hahahahaha, wow! Forgot crazy good stuff can happen to the ’skins.
November 18th, 2012 at 3:09 PM
aFineMessi, on 3rd-and-10, RGIII threw it as far as he could (almost 70 yards) and Moss caught it over two defenders for a TD. No, I don’t know how either.
November 18th, 2012 at 3:14 PM
concussion
November 18th, 2012 at 3:15 PM
took a knee into the back of his head
November 18th, 2012 at 3:19 PM
[...] thanks to @dhm (via Jeff) for this GIF of Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie taking a cheap shot at Robert Griffin III in the [...]
November 18th, 2012 at 3:25 PM
i blame banks for that turnover on downs. he couldn’t have extended the ball and extra quarter of an inch seeing as how he was literally standing next to the first down marker on the sideline? Banks has never done anything positive for the redskins. ever.
November 18th, 2012 at 3:26 PM
@aFineMessi Couldn’t agree more. Every preseason he’ll return a kick, which gives him a spot to waste during the season.
November 18th, 2012 at 3:29 PM
DELAY OF GAME… Defense? on punt formation? Danny Smith, you’ve outdone yourself.
November 18th, 2012 at 3:34 PM
Hey, you guys, we are beating the shit out of the Philadelphia Eagles
November 18th, 2012 at 3:38 PM
So does Andy Reid get fired this week?
November 18th, 2012 at 3:38 PM
Kirk Cousins garbage time?
November 18th, 2012 at 3:39 PM
Can someone get Belichick off the screen and make him stop talking? Thanks!
November 18th, 2012 at 3:39 PM
BTW, this is fun
November 18th, 2012 at 3:41 PM
where has this defense been?
November 18th, 2012 at 3:42 PM
This is so fun, and Kirk Cousins garbage-time happy hour hasn’t even started yet!
November 18th, 2012 at 3:42 PM
bad call.
November 18th, 2012 at 3:48 PM
This is our first blowout since what, the 49ers several years ago?
November 18th, 2012 at 3:48 PM
you mean in Osaka, Japan?
November 18th, 2012 at 3:54 PM
Was thinking the one from 2005 (52-17)… I’m hoping there’s been one more recently than that, but given how bad our offense has been the last decade, probably not.
November 18th, 2012 at 3:57 PM
PUNCH IT IN BROWNS!
November 18th, 2012 at 4:01 PM
we just killed shady. pour it on. #59to28
November 18th, 2012 at 4:02 PM
4th and goal on the 1 yard line in Dallas.
November 18th, 2012 at 4:03 PM
Sweet playcall, Browns.
November 18th, 2012 at 4:07 PM
Cribbs time in Dallas.
November 18th, 2012 at 4:08 PM
TOUCHDOWN CLEVELAND!!1
November 18th, 2012 at 4:09 PM
*archer voice* Hooray Cleveland!
November 18th, 2012 at 4:09 PM
BROWNS FUCK YEAH
November 18th, 2012 at 4:13 PM
GOOD JOB GUYS! DC UNITED time! (Ogultree just died in Dallas, btw).
November 18th, 2012 at 4:18 PM
Horrible PI call in Dallas. Cleveland defender gets manhandled by the Dallas receiver and they call it against the Browns.
November 18th, 2012 at 4:26 PM
Should that have been intentional grounding on Romo? He was in the pocket and didn’t throw it near anyone?
