Another hated team, another MUST win game!

It's been crunch time for my beloved Redskins for the past four weeks. How did they respond? They've gone 4-0; beating two mediocre teams in mediocre fashion (Rams and Cardinals) and two playoff teams convincingly (Cowboys and Giants). If those past four weeks were crunch time, they have nothing on this week. The Redskins win, they go to the playoffs. The Redskins lose, they go home. Simple as that.

This week it's the Eagles in Philly. The Eagles have self-destructed this year and are so far out of the playoffs it's ridiculous. However, as any sports fan can attest, Philly is the roughest, nastiest, most belligerent place to play (I don't care which sport you're talking about. I bet there are fights at senior night shuffleboard games in Philly). Philly fans, to put it in the nicest possible way, are brutal (They once booed Santa Claus during a Christmas Day game). There is also the fact that the Eagles have OWNED the Skins in Philly for something like 10 years. I fully expect the Eagles to come out gunning for the Redskins. The chance to keep a hated rival out of the playoffs when you yourself aren't going has to be a motivating idea.

If the Skins win, finishing the season with five straight victories, there's nothing they can't do. It's do or die!

GO REDSKINS!!!!!!!
