Have those 16-ounce aluminum bottles now popularized for sale at sporting events gotten to be too much of a hazard?
Admittedly, the first words that come to mind when on thinks of the Philadelphia Eagles are not “class” or “appropriate.”
After the ‘Skins’ win over the Cleveland Browns in Week 15, fans knew that their team was capable of winning without Robert Griffin III. They kept winning when the rookie starter returned.
With a game against the hated Dallas Cowboys looming, RGIII and ‘Skins easily routed the Philadelphia Eagles yesterday at FedEx Field, 31-6.
The Redskins may have been eliminated from the playoffs with a Falcons win yesterday afternoon, but a 10-3 win against division-rival Philadelphia Eagles gave fans who are still paying attention an excuse to smile. The ‘Skins win was hardly a barn-burner, but sweeping Philly is a feat in of itself, and it was a relief to end the three-game skid. To keep with the holiday cheer, there is a bit of pleasure knowing that the…
Why Not Call Oprah? While Jim Zorn does his soul-searching this week, the rest of us are left wondering what exactly that means for Sunday’s game plan against the surging Philadelphia Eagles. Neither team will likely make the playoffs, but winning always helps. The Redskins’ Success Formula: The last time these two teams met, the ‘Skins seemed to have it all figured out. Washington won 23-17, and they did it by beating Philadelphia on…
Written by DCist contributor Rob Birgfeld Just who the hell is this team? For the fourth game in a row, the final seconds ticked off the clock and Jason Campbell was taking a knee. ‘Skins fans haven’t seen anything like this in years. At about 12:59 p.m., the stage was set for a very, very bad day. Coming off a thrilling win against Dallas last week, the Skins seemed overconfident and ripe for a…
Written by DCist contributor Elisabeth Meinecke Keep an eye on the ground this week in Philly. Gaining Ground: The Redskins have leapfrogged in both ESPN and CBS power rankings (to 6th and 4th respectively) after beating the previously undefeated Cowboys Sunday in Dallas. Santana Moss was second among receivers this week in total yards (8 catches for 145 yards) while Clinton Portis was second among running backs (121 yards on 21 carries). The Redskins defense…
Southeast Jerome. Sheriff Gonna Getcha. Coach Janky Spanky. The Ghost of Southeast Jerome. Most of the 2005 season, and a few times last year, Clinton Portis showed that he wasn’t only electric on the field by holding press conferences dressed up as ridiculous characters, who he named and gave purposes. The get ups were such a hit that they even made a t-shirt about them (hey, we all knew that Snyder wouldn’t let a chance…
Earlier this week, Washington safety Pierson Prioleau spoke about his own season-ending knee injury as an ominous sign of setbacks to come. He seems prescient now. On Sunday afternoon, the Redskins took themselves out of contention early and often as the Philadelphia Eagles turned the match into a low-effort rout.
