***NFCC - Washington 14-5 at Philadelphia 16-3***(-6, 47.5) 3:00 (1 Viewer)

Line seems low, but WAS has kept every game since week 1 within like 8 points. They went up tempo no huddle somewhere around week 4 and it keeps DL from rotating, and they get stuck chansing Daniels around. That has been a big part of their success, The Defense adjusts well during games. They have holes, but cover them up well as the game progresses. They also have a huge turnover margin in the playoffs. Not sure exactly but I think it's 8 takeaways and 0 turnovers.

PHI is the better team with more talent and a really solid OL. But Daniels is the better QB and WAS has the better coaches.

As much as I want WAS to win, Daniels has to play really well and PHI offense needs to turn it over a couple of times.

WAS does not have the better coaches.

Ummm, are you kidding here? Yes, Philly has a more talented overall roster, but I bet 9 out of 10 people would take our coaches over yours. Your coach is a freaking idiot to boot...

Scratches head. Sirianni has the 3rd highest win% of all-time and the most wins of any coach in his first 4 years with two highly respected coordinators. Fangio took the 26th ranked defense and turned them into the #1 defense in the league.

But yeah, recycled coach Dan Quinn and a couple first year coordinators are now somehow better. GTFOH.

I’m glad everyone gets to see your guys work. Hear that folks? If you don’t agree with them, you are sensitive or trolling and you need to GTFO.

To make matters worse they report you if you post in “their thread”.

Be much more cool Eagles fanatics.

These are the facts that I’m interested to see how they counter with Washington’s staff. Besides the input from a certain fanbase that are just bitter they never play this week of the season.

I mean, its a moronic take. Sirriani's Career record is 52-23 (.693), Dan Quinn's career record is 60-49 (.550). Kingsbury is good but I'd call him a wash with Kellen Moore. Vic Fangio has forgotten more about defense than Joe Whitt knows. I guess you could make an argument either way with the OC's but the, "ummmm are you kidding me" take is ridiculous.

No one said anything about trolling and the GTFO was not telling him to actually leave, it was more GTFO, like, your take is ridiculous.
I know of precisely one person who reports anyone in the Eagles thread (interestingly, its the guy you and the other Cowboys fan constantly give likes to in that thread because he hates Hurts).

Kliff Kingsbury was so successful he had to go back to USC last year, right?
Vic Fangio has been coaching defense longer than he has been alive, right?

Only 2 teams were worse at stopping the run this year than the Commanders: The Saints and The Panthers

Is that a result of superior coaching?

 

[ChiefD]

Both Head coaches lost super bowls so they’re even there.

One guy wears his hat backwards and one has a punchable face.

So, even there too.

I would take Kingsbury at OC vs Moore all day long.

NOBODY outside of Philly likes your coach enough to care how good of a coach he is. Dude has such small D energy that he argues with fans. Hes a lunatic.

Aaron Schatz:

Getting a number of complaints from Commanders fans that their run defense has improved in the second half of the season.

This is true.

From Week 1-9, it ranked 26th.
From Week 10-18, it ranked 19th.

x.com

x.com

These numbers are skewed by a three week stretch of bad rushing offenses (or offenses in general).

The Dallas Cowboys had 28 carries for 91 yards. Dallas was the 29th ranked rushing offenses in the league. They finished with under 100 yards rushing in a game 9 times this season.

The Tennessee Titans only attempted 11 rushes (for 35 yards) in their game against WAS after WAS jumped out to a 28-0 lead in the second quarter. Tennessee was the 26th ranked rushing offense this season. Tennessee finished with under 100 rushing yards 7 times this season and the 35 yards weren't even the worst day rushing they had (had 33 yards rushing twice).

The Saints only attempted 16 rushed (for 69 yards). The Saints were the 31st ranked rushing offense in the league. They finished with under 100 yards rushing 10 times this season.

During that week 10-18 stretch, WAS faced Philly twice and Philly went for over 200 on the ground both times: 228 and 211. If there's a prop bet of total rushing yards take PHI over 200. That's about as sure a bet as Boston Scott anytime TD vs. NYG.

Also to mention during this span mentioned in weeks 10-18 was the game we played them. Hurts missed 3 Qs and the Eagles STILL ran for over 200 yards, albeit in a loss. I don't think this game is going to be similar to the 1st two games though.

The second game, losing Hurts was a blow. But the bigger loss was CJGJ getting tossed. McCollum got burnt twice as his replacement.

WAS drives with CJGJ in the game: Downs, Fumble, Punt, TD, Fumble, TD, Punt, INT, Fumble

Once CJGJ got tossed: TD, TD, INT, TD

Good point, I had forgot about CJGJ getting tossed. Personally I don't think there is anyway to feel great about this game (as an Eagles fan) until it is over. Daniels is definitely a fun guy to rally behind for that WAS team, and you know he won't ever just put the white flag up.

Should be fun I think. I really hope WAS loads the box galore and really tries to force Hurts to throw. It will be nice if he can get some TDs i the air and maybe throw for around 200 yds to get everybody off of his back. Saquan should break Davis' record this week too

Wowzer, reading back through the first 3 pages is a little rough. Game better come soon

Who has the better statistical week
AJ or Devonta?

I got Devonta here. Devonta is a big time big game baller and AJ is definitely hurt more than anyone really thinks, at least it feels this way.

But if this is for fantasy purposes, I feel one is going to get hardly any work at all, IMO

Scratches head. Sirianni has the 3rd highest win% of all-time and the most wins of any coach in his first 4 years with two highly respected coordinators. Fangio took the 26th ranked defense and turned them into the #1 defense in the league.

But yeah, recycled coach Dan Quinn and a couple first year coordinators are now somehow better. GTFOH.

I agree that its not a forgone conclusion. Reacting incredulously and calling other peoples opinions moronic and wrong is not something I agree with.

"Ridiculous" and "moronic", now I see.

Yall better win Sunday.

Line up to 6 now. That seems way too high. I think Philly wins by 3, I'd bet on Wash to cover that.

You should pay attention to early line moves. If the line moves another 0.5 point to 6.5, jump on the Eagles, sharp money is telling you something.

Standig: Asking any team to stop Saquon Barkley feels like suggesting someone could prevent the sun from rising in the East. That said, Washington kept Barkley in check for the final three quarters in Week 16 after Hurts left with a concussion, and tackle Jonathan Allen is back after missing the two previous games with a pectoral tear. Now, Hurts appears at least limited with the knee injury. Tell me why putting eight defenders in the box — and making Hurts beat you — is a more obvious approach than an effective one.

Kubena: Well, let’s start with two broad reasons. First, that approach doesn’t really do much to stop Barkley. Only four running backs averaged more yards per carry against eight-plus boxes than him during the regular season (4.5), according to TruMedia. Second, Hurts may not be very efficient passing against such looks (42.3 completion percentage), but, with three touchdown passes and no picks, the Eagles are more than capable of making defenses pay for playing them this way.

To be more precise, the Eagles are very good at matching their zone-read game with run-block schemes that flip the advantage against eight-plus boxes. Here’s a worst-case scenario for that defensive approach. It’s Week 12. It’s Eagles-Rams in SoFi Stadium. It’s third-and-6 at Philadelphia’s 28 on the right hash. The Rams, trailing 30-14 with 2:54 left in the game, put eight defenders in the box against a run-oriented 13 personnel look from the Eagles.

Already, the Eagles like their chances. Their arrangement has packed the Rams defense together in a nice contained box. Hurts, upon the snap, freezes a few of the defenders on the right side just by representing a threat to run. By the time Hurts chooses to give, tight end Grant Calcaterra and right guard Mekhi Becton have already pulled to the opposite edge. Left tackle Jordan Mailata and tight end Dallas Goedert have cratered down to the left edge, which leaves only two more defenders for Calcaterra and Becton to clear.

Boom. Barkley finds the hole. He’s gone. There’s a 72-yard touchdown run for an MVP application that’ll likely be passed over for a quarterback who’s no longer in the playoffs.

Offensive line coach/run game coordinator Jeff Stoutland’s influence on this team can’t be understated. Yes, there’s Barkley. But Barkley chose to sign with the Eagles partly because of the organization’s long-established reputation for fielding one of the NFL’s best offensive lines. Its Pro Bowl members credit their development to what they call Stoutland University. The Eagles field multiple blocking techniques, including frequent pullers, partly due to the leverage points Stoutland identifies.

Stoutland, Barkley, Hurts and the Eagles have made defenses regret fielding eight-plus boxes more often than it’s worked out for their opponents. The Commanders know this themselves. During their first meeting in Week 11, Barkley turned a toss play against an eight-man box into a 39-yard touchdown to go up 26-10 with 4:38 left in the game. Washington held Barkley to 5 yards on five carries against eight-plus boxes in their second meeting, but four were after Hurts exited the game. Hurts said Sunday he’s confident he’ll play in the NFC title game. The zone-read game will remain part of Philadelphia’s offensive approach so long as Hurts is available.

And, if the Eagles decide to pass in such situations, crowded boxes, if matched with man coverage, are prime targets for Philadelphia’s favored mesh routes. DeVonta Smith scored a 45-yard touchdown against the Cleveland Browns after getting a pick on a midrange crosser. Only the Baltimore Ravens, who have four Pro Bowl defenders, had sustained success fielding eight-man boxes against Barkley. The Commanders simply don’t have the defensive talent to offset the risk they’d be taking.

Kubena: One of the reasons the Eagles escaped an upset by the Rams was because they forced field goals on three of the five times Los Angeles reached their red zone. The Commanders scored touchdowns in the red zone at the NFL’s sixth-highest rate (63.4 percent) and were 3-of-4 against the Eagles in such situations last time. Do you still like Washington’s matchup there? Why have they been so good in that zone, and is there anything the Eagles can take away?

Standig: Have I mentioned the quarterback’s poise? Daniels’ dual-threat prowess also puts defenses in conflict. It’s one thing to have a delayed reaction if he breaks outside on a read-option at midfield. Do that inside the 10, and Daniels will turn the corner before being touched. Focus on the ground game and he’ll beat you with precision passing. Daniels has 19 touchdown passes and one interception on 66 red zone attempts.

This area of the field is where tight end Zach Ertz shines. The 34-year-old won’t evade defenders with his quicks but repeatedly beats coverage off the first move and wins in traffic. The 6-foot-5 target’s 62.5 contested catch rate ranked fifth among tight ends. Not surprisingly, all eight of his touchdowns were in the red zone, including a 5-yarder versus the Lions. The inside route is an Ertz staple this season.

McLaurin’s best NFL season came with 11 of 15 touchdown grabs in the red zone, with the most recent coming in the wild-card round win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. McLaurin’s precise route running creates space, but his ability to attack the ball in flight stands out, as does a 67.6 percent contested catch rate, ranking third among all receivers.

Along with Daniels’ legs, Brian Robinson’s power style is a tight-quarters asset and Austin Ekeler’s hands and shiftiness make him an excellent safety valve.

Standig: Philly won the A.J. Brown-Marshon Lattimore matchup in Week 16 (though Lattimore had some positive moments early and then left late with a hamstring injury). That was also only Lattimore’s second game with the Commanders after they acquired him in a trade with the New Orleans Saints. They’ve since deployed him a few different ways, with varying success. He traveled the field while shadowing Mike Evans, who had seven catches, 92 yards and a touchdown for the Buccaneers in the NFC wild-card game. Lattimore was more effective playing on one side against the Lions in the divisional round. Part of me feels like the winner of the Brown-Lattimore matchup wins this game. What do you think the Eagles approach is for the rematch?

Kubena: I’m instantly inclined to feel resistance to this premise. Brown had one catch for 10 yards in the NFC wild-card game against the Green Bay Packers. And he had two catches for 14 yards in the divisional round against the Rams. Yet, the Eagles won both. It’s an absurdity that can only be explained by Barkley’s breakaway runs and a dominant defense that’s forced five turnovers in the playoffs. But then I’m reminded that it is indeed an absurdity, and, therefore, can’t truly be relied upon if Brown again has nominal production this weekend. (Or can it?)

Regardless, the Eagles were trying to get the ball to Brown against the Rams. Hurts targeted his top receiver seven times. Brown dropped two of them, including what would’ve been a huge gain near the front pylon. Brown said, “You’ve got to give this game a pass” due to its snowy conditions. But he’s also been managing a knee issue since popping up on the injury report on Dec. 19. He caught 8 of 15 targets for 97 yards and a touchdown against the Commanders three days later, but he’s totaled six catches for 60 yards in the three games since. He’s sat out a handful of practices throughout the playoffs within a load-management program with the team’s training staff. Brown has said he’s been playing through the injury. I’m wondering how much of his minimal production is due to him not being 100 percent.

Brown is at his best for the Eagles when he can exploit one-on-one matchups. Hurts often targets Brown on slants in such situations. Lattimore, by playing Brown tightly in their last matchup, deflected a slant on the first throw of the game. Can Brown, in presumably better weather conditions, create separation this go-round? The Eagles ought to build a game plan believing he can. There’s no instance when Brown is on the field that Hurts should not first look his way. But there should be more emphasis this week for Hurts to have further faith in the targets deeper into his progression — particularly Jahan Dotson.

When Dotson was wide open on a shallow crosser, Hurts instead forced a second-and-8 throw to a tightly covered Brown in the second quarter that fell incomplete. The Eagles punted two plays later. Dotson was again open downfield on a third-quarter bootleg. Hurts instead checked down to Goedert for a 5-yard gain. The Eagles eventually settled for a 44-yard field goal.

But such a suggestion may be beyond the character of this offense. The Eagles have won plenty of football games with Hurts zeroing in on Brown, Smith and Goedert. They’ll likely feel no regret if they lose with Hurts zeroing in on them, too.

Standig: Quinyon Mitchell quieted McLaurin in the first meeting (one catch, 10 yards). McLaurin was better in the rematch (five catches, 60 yards, a touchdown) but it still wasn’t a crazy stat line. What’s the deal with the rookie corner’s shoulder injury and how can he put the clamps on a wide receiver with nine touchdowns in the last eight games?

Kubena: Mitchell told Philadelphia Inquirer reporter Olivia Reiner in the locker room after Sunday’s game that he’s “going to be good.” Nick Sirianni isn’t one to offer such public definitives on injuries. But the expectation is that Mitchell will play. He made a strong case for Defensive Rookie of the Year. Only Denzel Ward forced more incompletions than Mitchell this season, according to Pro Football Focus. There are myriad reasons beyond that specific cornerback position for why Philadelphia’s defensive success rate is higher when Mitchell isn’t on the field (67.3) than when he is (60.3), per TruMedia, but it’s partly because it has a solid backup in Isaiah Rodgers.

I spent some time in the offseason reporting on Mitchell’s acquisition, and Toledo defensive coordinator Vince Kehres told me they often placed Mitchell on an island in “catch-man” techniques in which Mitchell “caught” receivers in stride and basically played man coverage thereafter. That allowed Toledo to play aggressively with its safeties and challenge and rob throws in the middle zones. That usage also rejected concerns raised by draft analysts about whether Mitchell could thrive in press-man coverage. Eagles general manager Howie Roseman was himself convinced when Mitchell locked down top receivers at the Senior Bowl.

Mitchell has been a dependable fit within Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio’s system. Fangio doesn’t travel his cornerbacks. Mitchell has played the entirety of his wide corner snaps on the right side. Darius Slay has played his wide corner snaps on the left. If McLaurin ends up on Mitchell’s side, so be it — in terms of how Fangio has been deploying his defense.

Looking back at the tape, Mitchell played multiple techniques against McLaurin. Catch-man. Press man. If you look at the Week 11 game, the Commanders got strategic and cleared the left sideline for a 34-yard swing pass to Ekeler by clearing McLaurin downfield while being matched up in press man with Mitchell. I don’t think that (nor other plays) will change how Fangio uses his corners. He seems to believe both can cover McLaurin from either side. Slay stuck with McLaurin on a third-and-4 mesh route in Week 11 that fell incomplete partly because defensive tackle Milton Williams was in Daniels’ face. The entire defense supports the approach. The average time to throw against the Eagles’ defense (2.82 seconds) is lower than the NFL average (2.94), per TruMedia.

The majority of McLaurin’s production in their Week 16 meeting came from his third-and-8, 32-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter. Mitchell played soft coverage and positioned himself to take away the inside of the field. But Mitchell gave McLaurin far too much room to work with along the sideline, from the numbers all the way to the boundary. Daniels threw a dime while getting hit. Since that play, Mitchell hasn’t allowed a catch above 12 yards, according to Pro Football Focus. Has the rookie learned enough lessons for a third meeting?

Standig: The Commanders have turned fourth down into just another offensive down to call a play. They converted an absurd 20-of-23 of their fourth downs during the season, with Daniels 8-of-8 passing. Then they went 3-of-4 against the Lions. What has been Philly’s approach on offense and what works or doesn’t on defense?

Kubena: I asked Fangio why he thinks Washington’s been so efficient on fourth downs this season. “Quarterback,” he said, simply. “And the talent around him.” Defending fourth-down plays is one of the few things this Eagles defense does poorly. They’ve allowed first downs on 19 of their 30 fourth-down plays, a 63.3 conversion percentage that’s tied for ninth-worst in the NFL. There’s some depth to that number. Only the Minnesota Vikings (35) and Buffalo Bills (32) have defended more fourth-down plays than the Eagles — a trend that suggests their opponents are more frequently embracing a four-down approach to gain an advantage against playoff-bound teams.

Here’s what I find interesting: The Eagles were either fielding their nickel or dime packages in all but one of those 19 conversions, and 11 of those were fourth-and-3 or shorter. The Eagles had eight stops on fourth-and-2 or shorter in the regular season, and they fielded their base package on two of them. In other words, if the Commanders were to force the Eagles into pass-oriented defenses, they’d already have a two-thirds shot at converting on fourth-and-3 or shorter. That’s a significant advantage Kliff Kingsbury could factor into his game plan. Think of how much changes in certain scenarios when you just need to gain 7 yards in your first three plays.

Fangio said when teams like Washington are so successful, it can sometimes affect how he calls a defense on third-down situations, “depending on what the third down is, from a yardage standpoint.” The Commanders were trailing 27-14 when Daniels scrambled for 29 yards on a fourth-and-11 play from the Philadelphia 41 in Week 16 — a play that produced a touchdown and began Washington’s comeback. It’d be absurd to suggest the Eagles should’ve played third-and-11 more aggressively to come up with a sack or turnover just to eliminate the possibility of Daniels scrambling. Sometimes a talent like Daniels just makes an incredible play, and it’s clear Fangio respects the rookie for his proficiency to reduce sound defensive play calls into rubble.

Their 4th down conversion rate is pretty scary. That’s impressive.

I am returning from a month in the sun just in time to sit down and enjoy the game. Hopefully my kids shoveled our driveway.

No matter the result, this has been a fruitful year for WAS. From the top down things were done correctly. This has been a pitiful division for a long time except for the Eagles. They were getting 5 wins a year against Jerry Jones, Dan Snyder, and Daniel Jones. They have a really good GM and make smart moves.

My hope is that the I-95 rivalries come back, and we get the fun of dealing obnoxious Iggles fans that want to start fights about nothing important. I also hope the Giants get better. It would be good for the NFC East if they get on track. The Cowboys are completely unimportant. Every NFC team has been to the NFC Championship since DAL last was. I'm fine with them sucking forever or getting put in the AFC South.
