With DeMarco Murray sidelined by a hamstring injury, Mathews got the start and rushed 23 times for 106 yards.

“The more reps you get the more comfortable you become”. In other words, it’s really good. “When we get done with the game tape, that one is through, then we get right back to our process of Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, all of the unique things that we do”. This was the one bright spot from the game in my opinion. Do I think that the Eagles can make a comeback? You make your call, and the structure that they give you is what you have to play. Bradford throws one incompletion and twitter descends into rants about how keeping Foles would have saved the team and how Sanchez would be tearing it up if he was in the game.
As soon as it’s snapped, the entire defensive line begins shifting to it’s right.
Is that a sign Bradford has taken strides toward being that franchise quarterback, or merely a sign that Washington has a poor pass defense? Davis simply shrugged them off and said the Fox announcer was trying to get his TV ratings up. With a little help from Jones, he landed across the plane and it didn’t take long for the officials to signal a touchdown. He said he sprained it in the second half Sunday.
If that was not an official declaration of a running-back-controversy, it would do.
Barwin eventually chased down Morris and made the tackle at the Eagles’ 46-yard line.
Washington drove the ball 90 yards on 15 plays to take the lead, and perhaps equally as important, left only 26 seconds on the clock for Philadelphia. There is still a ton of football to be played and a lot of people to be proved wrong, including myself.
“That final drive – I wasn’t capable of doing that when I came in the league as a rookie”. “There’s nobody talking about being gassed”. However, the main reason why Chip Kelly could be fired mid-season is because he changed a playoff team with players like Nick Foles, LeSean McCoy, and Jeremy Maclin into maybe the worst team in the NFC East with a bunch of risky players that he rolled the dice on. “It’s been pretty interesting how many 10-plus play drives we’ve put together and the time of possession we’ve had in these games”. The running game has been bad all year and the offensive line can not run block whatsoever.
“We looked at what’s available out there”, Kelly said. Bradford had missed most of the past two seasons with torn ligaments in his left knee. “This is a big, big confidence builder for us”. Connor Barwin is unblocked off the edge and taking a ideal angle.
Jay Gruden said that Jamison Crowder is “definitely our slot receiver right now” after showing up with 7 catches for 65 yards including a highlight grab where he soared into the air to convert a near impossible 3rd and 18. “But we kept challenging each other to respond and be resilient and I think it’s a combination of things”. It was a flawless throw.
“It was just a man-to-man post route”, Cooper said.
“And it’s a game of inches”, Davis added.
-DE Chris Baker had two of Washington’s five sacks of Eagles QB Sam Bradford on Sunday. “It’s about executing plays and us being better”.

The Redskins offense is weak though and if the Eagles want to be an above average defense, they cannot allow a game-winning 90-yard touchdown drive to an offense like the Redskins.
