Eagles-Redskins: End of 1st Quarter

AUTHOR: | IN: Redskins | COMMENTS: No Comments |

Wanna know how to lose a home crowd?  Sell a ton of tickets to a third-party broker so there are plenty of Eagles’ fans in your stadium, give up a 67-yard touchdown on a reverse on the opening drive of the game, and have your quarterback fumble the snap to kill a drive.  (At least he recovered it.)  You could always follow that up by allowing the Eagles to gain yardage in chunks on their second drive.

What to do?  Flattening Brian Westbrook is a nice start.  I can say that because Westbrook wasn’t hurt.  He got his bell rung on a clean hit by London Fletcher.  Thankfully, he walked off on his own power.  But, he did suffer a concussion.  He’s a classy guy and a great athlete.  We wish him well.  Anyhoo, you could stop the Eagles’ second and third drives, and mount a drive of your own from the 9 yard line.  Oh wait, Campbell’s pass was tipped, caught by Will Witherspoon, and returned for s short touchdown.  So much for mounting a drive.

Philly 14, Washington 0.  The Skins currently have a 1st down on their 38.  Their first three drives – two punts and an interception.
