My tale of the tape...

Philly better at RB, WR/TE, OL, DL, Secondary (and most of them considerably better)

Washington better at QB, probably LB, and on Special Teams

Washington can't stop Philly, so it comes down to turnovers and red zone efficiency...and probably 4th down efficiency for Washington.

You should be confident about the Eagles’ chances. Detroit was decimated on D.

I want the Eagles to win for one reason.
Josh Harris.
This guy has screwed up the Sixers and then screwed the city of Philadelphia with the center city arena fiasco.

@GrimReaper sure you know a thing or 2 about hedgefund company owners and their interior motives when they own or invest heavily in companies.

Any Eagles fan would be a fool not to worry about Washington. Especially with the way the Eagles pass game is playing.

The only thing making me feel a bit better is that Washington won’t have dome conditions on Sunday to light things up like in Detroit.

But Daniels a baller who brings the X factor.

There was an ugly back-and-forth between Art and some other poster, really burned bridges. Art left.
Him and I went back and forth quite a bit.
Surprised he wasn't banned earlier.
While smart a bit to antagonist.
I remember some time ago on the rivals board him and Phil got into it over a recruit.

Eagles defense was abysmal in the 2nd half last time they played and allowed Daniels to rip them apart, despite getting five turnovers. Don't see the D collapsing again but Washington will still move the ball and score points.

More of a concern is that Hurts may not be at full strength for the run game. When Hurts went out the last time they played Washington was able to key on stopping Barkley because they didn't have to worry about the QB keeping the ball. Passing game will need to be better to compensate for Hurts' more limited role.

Sounds familiar. Art really knew the ins and outs (he absolutely had to have been employed at a university) and tolerated no fools but this one time it went too far. A loss for the board but what can you do.

The other poster was Nate Bauer. In typical Nate form, he couldn't handle legitimate criticism from Art so he just banned him. Very puerile.

Not an Eagles or Skins fan, but Jayden Daniels should scare anyone right now. He has no pulse and plays way older than most rookies. I think the Eagles D, home field, and Saquon get the W but I see it as a one score game. It should be a great watch for a neutral.

Washington rush defense is not very good. I would expect a heavy dose of Saquon and Gainwell to control the ball and time of possession. Keep Daniels off the field. Plus Washington lost their best Olinemen and I would expect the Eagles to line up Carter over whoever replaces him and take advantage.

Wow, that seems weak. Art could be a huge dick at times but I’ve never seen him post anything that should mandate him getting banned.
He made a snide comment to Nate, Nate replied, and Art replied with an insult about Nate's physique...and got banned for the personal attack. I'd say it's pretty uncalled for to insult someone's physical appearance and the ban was justified.

Missed it, but that is expected as I put that pompous know it all on ignore a few years back. I've been wrong so many times in my life, but hey...I'm not Art so that is ok. ;)

Comes down to lines this weekend imho. I like the Eagles and Bills. KC and Washington have their hands full on both sides.

Run the ball with gusto and create havoc on the DL - advantage Philly and Buffalo. Ironic since I'm a Steelers fan and that's what they are supposed to do.

That’s not my recollection but I have no reason to doubt this.
