Eagles @ Redskins

Donovan and the Eagles come to Landover, MD to take on the Skins. Moss and Washington are out today. Let's see I think I'll take the Eagles today. Why do the announcers always say "Welcome to the Nation's Capital?". FedEx Field is in Maryland.

Eagles have 0 kick returns this seaon of 30+ yards. Let's see what happens. Reverse on the kick return. Nothing much really happened. Tripped over his own guy. C'mon Donovan. Need you to have a big day for the sake of my fantasy team. Completes his first pass. Good start. Did you know that Jason Campbell is dating Miss D.C.? I still think Brian Westbrook is one of the most overrated RB's out there.

Andy Reid - I think the last time the Eagles were playing the Redskins it was a MNF game a couple weeks ago and the announcers were talking about your sons that the rest of us refer to as criminals. Let's see if they mention it today. McNabb is just of on this first drive. Darryl - why would Donovan care what other people have to think about him being a "running" QB?

Well so far Westbrook is absolutely shredding this Redskin defense. Westbrook has never scored a touchdown at FedEx Field. Scratch that. Touchdown. Brian Westbrook. Well, the Eagles looked exactly like the UVA Cavaliers on this first drive marching their way down the field and scoring on the first drive. Let's see if the outcome is the same. Eagles 7, Redskins 0. Skins committed 3 penalties on that opening drive.

McCardell is 8th on the all-time receptions list? I didn't know that. Touchdown. Campbell to Thrash. First touchdown reception for a Redskins receiver this year. Extra point no good. Flag on the play. Penalty declined. Redskins 6, Eagles 7. That's why you kick 'em. Just like free throws.

Bummed about that gut?



Brian Westbrook's brother Byron plays for the Redskins. I didn't know that. Great throw and catch from Campbell to Thrash. Campbell definitely has an arm. I don't know why Gibbs doesn't go long more often. 31 yard gain. Touchdown. Campbell to Thrash again. 2nd TD pass today. I should have started Campbell over McNabb. Redskins are going for 2. No good. Redskins 12, Eagles 7.

All 8 of Campbell's completions have gone to WRs. Campbell going looooooong to Lloyd. Almost caught. Good idea to go for that pass though. Halftime.

Eagles are going for it on 4th and inches. QB sneak. Doesn't look like he got it. Turns out he go it. McNabb to Smith. Touchdown. Yes! 2nd today. Eagles 13, Redskins 15. Eagles are going for 2. No good. Campbell is completing his passes here at the end of the third quarter.

Washington has lead in the fourth quarter in 8 of their 9 games. All except the 52-7 loss to New England. Portis breaks the 100-yard rushing mark for the second consecutive week. Touchdown Campbell to McCardell. His first touchdown since 2005. Campbell with 3 TD passes today.

TOUCHDOWN. 45-yard reception McNabb to Brown. Yes! 3 TDs today for McNabb. Great throw and catch. Fumble Ladell Betts. They're challenging the call on the field. Play stands on the field. Washington loses its final timeout. McNabb fumbles on the very next play. Recovered by the Redskins. Nice. 58-yard touchdown reception McNabb to Westbrook. 4 TD passes today. Eagles 26, Redskins 25. Skins are going for it on 4th and 13...they have to. Campbell fumbles. Looks like this game is going to go to the Eagles. There's still plenty of time left though. Almost about 2.5 minutes left. Since the Skins don't have any timeouts they had to go for it instead of punting. Touchdown Brian Westbrook. Walks it in. Eagles 33, Redskins 25. Since the Redskins allowed the score so quickly there is still 2 minutes left in the game. It is still a one possession game. Eagles have scored 3 touchdowns in the 4th quarter. Game over. Eagles go to 4-5, Redskins go to 5-4. Redskins going to Dallas next week.

"When you get yourself into a 15-20 point deficit it's hard to dig yourself out of that hole."
"You've got to be a good-tackling team."
"Is that a free five?"
"A lot of wincing. He doesn't look very comfortable."
"Sean Taylor has a bad shoulder. He's not at full strength at this point in the season."

Tony Siragusa
"I play those video games you know those one person things. I couldn't be in the military though. A little too big to be in the military. But you know I like playing those games."
"Donovan McNabb is a big, bold-bodied guy."
"Them piles is where it happens."
"A big man like that needs a lot of sleep."
"You don't run draws and screens on bad defenses. You run them on good ones."
