Eagles-Redskins

The Eagles became the first team from the NFC East to lose to a team outside of their division when they fell to the Bears 24-20 on Sunday night.

This Sunday they will play host to division rivals the Washington Redskins. The Redskins are coming off an impressive 26-24 win over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Both the Boys and Skins are now 3-1 while the Eagles are 2-2.

The Eagles could easily be 3-1 as well but their offensive play calling one first, second, third and fourth and goal towards the end of regulation was atrocious. Not to mention David Akers also missed two field goals on Sunday; albeit they were really long ones of 47 and 51 yards.

The Redskins have plenty of weapons on offense for the Birds defense to worry about. Jason Campbell has come into his own under new head coach Jim Zorn, Chris Cooley has always given the Eagles problems at tight end, Santana Moss has explosive speed at wide receiver and Clinton Portis out of the back field is a bull.

Jim Johnson and his staff with have their hands full for a fourth straight week. The game against the Rams doesn’t count. They are an embarrassment to the NFL.
