It’s not been a good year for the Eagles on fourth down.

Yet here they are, still in control of their own destiny at 6-8.

The Iraqis appear to have faced far less resistance than the us troops who conducted a similar operation in Ramadi in 2006. But that didn’t stop Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi from visiting the shattered city and raising the national flag.

Ryan’s beloved defense looked inept for long stretches Sunday, allowing Washington’s Kirk Cousins to equal a career high with four touchdown passes, and the Redskins officially eliminated the Bills from postseason contention by beating them 35-25.

Kirk Cousins rallied the Redskins to a 23-20 win against the Eagles in Week 4 by leading a 90-yard drive capped with a 4-yard TD pass to Pierre Garcon in the final minute.

“I think how well Kirk Cousins is playing right now”. His could be a little different situation. They can’t confuse a hot streak with dependable, consistent, every-week-of-every-season play. Cousins, who did raise cash for charity by selling T-shirts with those words, finished 22 for 28 for 319 yards and no interceptions. Jackson caught six of the eight passes intended for him, and he should create problems for the Eagles secondary. This year, it has not been Robert Griffin III under center. Sam Bradford is completing 63.7 percent of his passes for 3,025 yards, 16 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. I’ve said all along it’s my job to be a distributor. “We’ve got to get a lot of rest and turn our focus to Philly real quick”. “We’re on the same page, and we’re just going to continue to work and grow as teammates and just do what we have to do to win”. However, Washington responded with a 77-yard touchdown reception by wide receiver DeSean Jackson.

Washington’s season has been labeled by many as very inconsistent.

“We know what our identity is”, Barwin said.

Both of them, especially in McCoy’s case, are among the best players that the Eagles have ever had at their positions. We needed that to spark us and get the momentum going. The bottom could still fall out on him, and if there’s a big commitment to him when that happens Washington could take a few steps back. Remember that at one time, Cousins was a turnover-prone hot mess and on the verge of being written off. Washington may need a franchise quarterback and may desperately want that guy to be Cousins, but I’m not convinced that he is yet. That’s not going to cut it. If coordinator Billy Davis can’t get pressure from his front three, or four, he’s going to have to blitz and be creative about it. Sitting back in coverage is not the way to beat Cousins.

In Maxwell’s place will be either Jaylen Watkins or E.J. Biggers, or the team could mix and match the pair. Having those firsts this late in the season usually does not equate to a playoff bid, however, in the tumultuous NFC East, there is always hope. They were 4-11, and would lose the next week to go 4-12.

Watkins athleticism certainly played a part in the Bills second touchdown of the game, but the wide receiver gave most of the credit to his quarterback.
