Yes the Washington Redskins won a game completing big plays with 4 TD passes by Robert Griffin. The Redskins got on top by converting with a few play action passes (Young and Robinson scores), a few deep balls (Robinson and Moss scores), and a few broken tackles (Moss and Paulson scores). But was this propensity to score touchdowns may be because the Eagles defense may be horrible. Moss, a 5'10 receiver, out jumped two Eagles defensive backs who were both taller than Moss. The touchdown had shades of Brunell to Moss in 2006 against the Cowboys (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1uEyZKJ0o8)
On paper, the Redskins victory was impressive. However, the Eagles look like complete trash. In my fantasy football leagues I have been going forward of starting defenses, even pathetic ones like the Saints against the Eagles because their offensive line protecting the quarterback has been horrible. Plus they are good for a few boneheaded turnovers. Even the dependable LeSean McCoy got into the act with a fumble of his own to make up for the absence of Michael Vick who is out with a concussion. Foles looked pretty awful spelling Vick at quarterback. When Foles got blitzed by the corner of DeAngelo Hall, Foles kind of got what he deserved for not looking towards DeSean Jackson at all who in my mind is their biggest weapon on the outside especially since DeAgelo Hall hasn't shown the propensity to cover any one that well (see Danny Amendola, Steve Smith, Victor Cruz, and some other guys that I'm probably forgetting.)
Redskins fans are not encouraged by a 4-6 record especially since they have lost winnable games througout the season. Still a win is a win, and it is better to face the Cowboys this Thursday on Thanksgiving at 4-6 as opposed to 3-7.
