+1. Can't expect to go in and just walk all over the Eagles no matter how much they suck this year. I hope it happens, would love to completely whip up on them twice this season.

Man, this game makes me nervous.
Philly has been our personal house of horrors for the last decade.
Not counting those two great Joe Gibbs playoff runs, Philly has beaten us for the most part.
Heck, they've won 15 of the last 22 games and even in our best form, most inter divisional games have been splits.
With division rivals you never really know what's going to happen.
Would be a great time for some magic, though.

It is true that we have struggled, but a new era is upon us my friend. RGIII is slowly making me a believer that we have nothing to fear from these division rival games.

Not this one, anyway.

They must focus on destroying the confidence of the Eagles, and shutting the crowd up, early. They must take the lead, then put their heels to the throat of the Eagles soul... and keep it there for 4 quarters. This is a good opportunity for a statement game. Not only will the Redskins win the games they should... they will do it in the Eagle's house... in a very convincing manner. Focus. Resolve. Execution. Finishing.
Haslett's crew is the key this week.

Actually, I like controlling the TOP with our running game, and keeping Haslett's guys watching.

Looks like Vick WILL be suiting up for this game. He's projected to be the back-up, but this is Andy Ried we are talking about here; I suspect Vick will have a more active role than they are letting on.
Otherwise, why have him active? Vick may not get the start, but I wouldn't expect him to sit on the bench long if Foles struggles.

Vick needs to sit out. Our D will crush him and need not another concussion.

I think some of them will play hard but I have a feeling a lot of the older fellas will weaken when we get the lead and the green clad in the crowd start booing.
I'm counting on this win.

Vick is not the player he was ...
Andy will be trying to win this with his backs and some deep passes ... I doubt he thinks that Vick is ready to give his team the spark that he used to
We just need to control the game flow, both offensively and defensively - NO turnovers and no stupid penalties
the Redskins players and coaches will be up for this

Apart from some stupid fans here, nobody really expects the Redskins to do well - We need to get rid of Bruce Allen bring in some good people and let them completely rebuild this franchise
Thankfully, Kirk Cousins is no longer the QB
