Skins-Eagles Won’t Be Pretty

This is going to be another ugly football game but if the season continues like it's been going the Skins will win it..  Washington hasn't been much more impressive than the Eagles but they've found a way to pull their close games.

Washington pulled out their first game against the Birds by stopping the Eagles in the red zone.  The Skins are nothing to write home about but they're still in the hunt for a playoff spot mainly because of their defense.  Washington has a 5-3 record while the Birds are at the bottom of the NFC East with a 3-5 record.  You'd think with the noise I hear coming from D.C. that the Skins were sporting the 3-5 record. 

The Eagles offense will be spotty at best and so will the Skins offense.  Neither of these teams has an offense with all the pistons firing.  The game will likely be won by turnovers and field position. Starting quarterbacks Donovan Mcnabb and Jason Campbell are both off their games.  One big difference is that the Skins will put the game on the back of Clinton Portis or Ladell Betts and run the ball 40or 50 times if that's what it takes to win.
