I seem to remember a couple of dropped passes by the Redskins that could have made this game a blowout. Once the Redskins get on the same page, look out. Nobody picked the Skins to win last night except Tom Jackson, I guess he is the only one with some brains.
Why do you think the Redskins won the game?

That's ESPN bias for you. As soon as the game was over, it was all about how McNabb lost it and not that the Redskins won it. Tom Jackson and Mike Ditka are the only two analysts that I heard pick the Redskins, and those are some smart guys. The secondary of the redskins was able to shade the crew of philly receivers and take away the deep ball, McNabb still had a lot of short completions, especially in the 4th quarter. He played well but the Skins stepped up. If Campbell had hit a wide open Santana Moss the game would have been over much quicker. McNabb did a lot, but great plays like the one by the rookie LaRon Landry were made at key moments. The Redskins also completely outclassed the Eagles on 3rd downs last night...(Redskins 8 for 15 on 3rd down, Eagles 4 for 16)
Great game, Campbell is showing the poise to shake off mistakes, the running game is going well, and having a fresh Ladell Betts late in the game is key (remember that long run?) They need more consistency on both sides of the ball, but I like the direction they're heading. A road win against a conference rival in a place you don't win often with a QB in his 9th NFL start is a big win period.

Me, Tom Jackson, and the Redskin nation were the only people going wit the Skins. The whole country went with the Eagles. Year after year Tom Jackson seems to be the brightest mind in the station. When he speaks you stop and listen, like he is John Madden. It was very surprising to see no other analyst go with the Skins, yet they praise our 1:2 running back combo.
We still have alotta work to do. Campbell looked good last night. He managed the game very well. Still many little things Campbell and the offense has to work on to reach the next level.

McNabb is McNabb. All the teams know, get him excited and you've got him. Sometimes I think Tom Jackson is the only one on ESPN that has an IQ above room temperature. What's the over/under on when he's going to light up on Keyshawn? Does ESPN have an actual job interview process? From watching the stupid ex-players they've hired the last several years, I think not. Thanks for letting me rant.

I had the redskins picked. They just have too much talent to play as badly as they did last year. And, they haven't even reached their potential. Campbell will only get better (making some of those long passes he missed a little far, probably jittery) Randle El and Portis etc. etc.. They're too good to play badly this year after last year's embarassment. The Hogs are Back!

McNabb was not McNabb of old. Westbrook played well but give credit to "bend dont break" D by the Skins. No one gives Skins credit. They played better than last week. Still have work to do, but they are improving. Just hope O-line injuries won't hurt.

I think it was a combo of the poor performance of the Eagle receivers and the outstanding performance of the Redskin secondary.

Tom Jackson is the only one with a brain cell in his head on the network telecasts. I've said that for years!
