Skins Lead by 3 at the Half
Jason Fabini cost the Redskins a chance at another field goal by wiffing on that inside move from Darren Howard on the sack. That was big.
Can't quite understand why Jim Zorn called for the field goal attempt from 55 yards out in this wind, and the Eagles knew it would be short. Quintin Demps's return was their biggest play of the half.
From a Skins standpoint, it's more of the same in terms of controlling yardage and not scoring.
The defense has tended to wilt in the fourth quarter lately, and the Redskins can't afford to have that happen again. At this point, it doesn't look like the Skins are going to be padding this lead much.
Time for Andy Reid to make some adjustments.

Only thing Andy Reid needs to adjust is that jacket. Looks like it is clinging on to his fat ass for dear life.

Are both teams inept or good defense? And why isn't there a statue of Joe Gibbs outside the stadium? WTF? And why does Nancy Grace exist?

Campbell's QB rating was 85.7 entering the game. In the last two minutes of either half, his rating is 71.6 in 2008.

Camp went over 3000 yards this game, which is a career high.
Moss needs 23 to go over 1000, and Portis needs 27 to go over 1400....some personal goals within reach..

Taylor has to go. Jansen and Randle El can go as well. 1 Big time, free agent WR and 3 draft picks spent on linemen was all we needed last year.

This will never happen but if Taylor knows he isn't worth the 8M and wants to come back next year he should agree to a new 1 year deal. He owes it to us in my mind.
