Washington Commanders plan to start RGIII vs. Eagles

[Idgit]

I'll be a big RG3 fan this Saturday! How awesome would it be to have the Skins win and we can clinch the division a week early

And *not* have a week 17 win-or-go-home game this year? I mean, a go-home game this year? Where's your Christmas tradition?

Tired of coal in my stocking. And I don't mean Beasley although he fits

I just think there's a ton of incentive for the skins. RG3 is playing for his job , desean Jackson wants revenge , and they want to play spoiler . I think it'll be a good game.

KInd of like watching your ex wife and mother in law go at it. A necessary evil.

 

[cowboys2233]

Oh, no. A motivated Robert Griffin III.

I think this will be less about the Commanders and more about the Eagles. They just lost THE game of the year, the one they absolutely couldn't afford to lose. In front of their home fans. On Sunday night. With a Saturday game coming up. The Commanders are not going to get anywhere close to the best the Eagles can offer, we'll find out if that's enough to get them the W.

I think it will be just the opposite. If I'm a Turdbird player this week, there is no way I want to spend the rest of the Offseason dealing with what a loss to Washington will mean for them, by their own fan base. Philly Fans are not inconsistent. They will treat anybody like a POS if they feel like it, even their own players.

Yeah, hard to know for certain. But they are already getting annihilated by their fan base for losing to us. For Eagles fans and players alike, there is nothing worse than losing to the Cowboys, especially when it might be the loss to keep you out of the playoffs altogether. THIS was their moment to shine. They blew it. That's gonna be hard to snap back from.

Oh, and the Commanders aren't going to lie down for a division rival that beat them in week 3. They just aren't. They see a vulnerable Eagles team and they are going to want to return the favor.

Did you watch the 1st Eagles /skins game ?

what week was it and was the Commanders' season already over?

 

[DCBoysfan]

Its a Divsion game, anything can happen.

 

[Longboysfan]

In other words, the Eagles are getting a Week 16 bye.

Good gosh, RG3 is just awful. Far worse than I ever thought he would be.

But he'll always be better than Johnny Manziel. He's got that going for him.

So far.....

 

[fifaguy]

I think they'll get up for a division opponent at home. It's the NFC east throw out the records .

which brings us to the last game of the season. i'd much rather see Colt back there than RG3...

I am not sure whats up with Gruden but his comments toward RG3 last few weeks are really unprecedented by Head Coach. Just today he threw out another startling comment about RG3 to the effect that its important for Washington to get a lead so RG3 doesn't have to set up in pocket and read a defense. Those are humiliating comments and I just assume Gruden has one foot out door and other foot on banana peel. Regardless he needs to show little more class. I get that RG3 has been major disappointment but just let it play out and save the attacking comments.

Not getting my hopes up for a Skins win

its not all meaning they're getting a bye

 

[DeaconBlues]

I want RGIII to set the NFL record for TD passes this week, and INTs/ sacks the next.

 

[yimyammer]

It would be a dream come true to head into week 17 knowing we are in the playoffs. After 3 years of coming down to the last weekend this would be a great Christmas Present.

Please happen, I can't handle the stress

 

[Doomsday101]

Please happen, I can't handle the stress

Know what you mean, hoping on it but not counting on it.

 

[Toruk_Makto]

RG3 is not playing particularly well.

But he provides greater variance (good and bad) for the Commanders offense.

As a man who likes a few games of chance... Trust me when I say this is a good thing.

 

[THEHEREAFTER]

Cousins lit them up early in the season. Perhaps he should start?

 

[big dog cowboy]

Oh, no. A motivated Robert Griffin III.

Let's hope it doesn't happen 2 weeks in a row.

 

[Risen Star]

I think I'd rather start my cousin than Griffin.
