I am not really an Eagles fan, but I do love Saquon killing it!!!!!

How could anyone not like Saquon? He's everything you want in an athlete. Just glad to see him behind a competent OL.

BTW fellow Birds fans. This game should not have been an 8 pt victory. Way more dominating.
PHI - 434 yds, 6.2 ypp
WAS - 264 yds, 4.2 ypp

Agree and not only as an athlete he just seems to be a very good person.
As for the other part...having a half way decent kicker would have been at least 7 more points.

Yes! The "person" part of the athlete should be implied in my comment. He is the whole package.
Jake Elliott is normally a decent kicker and had an off night. That said, the "take the points" crowd often forgets that FG and XP aren't locks (not necessarily saying they should have gone for it last night). Hard to say that they should have had 7 more points, but probably at least 4 more pts.

He’s the best in the game right now. Last night showed why. Washington slowed him for 50+ minutes then he hit two long TD runs within 20 secs.

Dude, I thought of you when that happened! Somewhere, Grant is shaking his finger at his significant other and saying, “see…I told the BWI guys that!”

Ha! It's a small sample size and definitely not enough to make a definitive conclusion. But yeah, it just reminds folks that these kickers are not 100% and that has to be factored into decisions. And again, I'm not saying he should have gone for it on 4th. I was ok with both FG attempts last night. I would guess the analytics were pretty close either way.

They might not be locks but kickers are so much better than they were even 5 years ago it’s crazy.
I’m one of the crazy ones who think they should close the gap on the goal posts a little

Washington is learning how to stick around. Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia were all good losses. Daniels will only improve. Seems to me that earlier in the season Daniels was an unknown but maybe now he’s being schemed down. Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, same results. He’s a rookie, he’ll get better. He surely has shown that he has the mentality. Story is that after the Chicago Miracle the team was going ape **** in the locker room, all except Daniels. He just watched, as if this was something he totally had expected to happen. Very level headed guy. I’m disappointed about the loss but this is a good team, easy to love. My favorite PSU team is 1981, two losses. My favorite Georgetown basketball team was 1980, lost in the Elite Eight. I like this Washington team.

There's a thing being discussed about Kingsbury's records at the beginning of the season vs later in the season (all teams - TT, USC, AZ, Wash).
First 7 games: 56-27-1
After first 7: 22-59

Dang. That’s over 165 games, a big sample.
