It's a win in Philly! Skins move to 2-0 in the division, but again showcase Jekyll and Hyde tendencies. The ground game got going and the D played like 2008, but it would be inaccurate to say that this team is scaring anybody.
The bright spots:
- Redskins' rushing yards vs. Eagles: 169 on 35 attempts (4.8 ypc)
- Chance that a Redskins playcall was a rush: 63.6% (including scrambles)
- # of quarters since a Redskins punt return went for 50+ yards: 108
- Ratio of hits by Redskins to hits by Eagles that made you wish Jacked Up still existed: 3:0 (Torain on Mikell, Alexander on Calvin, Hall/Moore on Vick)
- McNabb's first half QB rating: 156.2
- Average receiving yards by Eagles top 2 WRs through weeks 1 through 3: 155 yards per game
- % of this average allowed by Redskins: 22% (34 combined yards for Jackson and Maclin)
- Redskins' average yards per reception vs. Eagles: 15.6
- # of fumbles forced by Redskins: 4 (1 recovered)
- Redskins' 2010 Turnover Margin: +3
- # of sacks surrendered by Redskins' offensive line: 1
- Redskins' players who outperformed their statlines: Albert Haynesworth, Brian Orakpo, Stephon Heyer (for run blocking), Santana Moss (also for run blocking)
- # of holding penalties called on Orakpo's blocker: 2
- Best joke about Orakpo: Dude must not have been held enough as a baby.
The better-but-but-still-not-good stats:
- Improvement in % of time of possession from Weeks 1 through 3: +2.3% (45.1% possession vs 42.8%)
- Improvement in offensive play deficit to opponents from Weeks 1 through 3: +8 (Eagles ran 13 more plays than Skins, vs. average of 21 in Weeks 1 through 3)
From the WTF files:
- Elapsed time in second half before Redskins were down to sole remaining timeout: 86 seconds
- Points scored on that 2-TO drive: 0
- McNabb's second half QB rating: 1.7
- % of total Redskins' points scored in 4th quarter and OT: 4.1% (3/73)
- % of opponents points scored in 4th quarter and OT: 35.4% (28/79)
- # of WRs who had a reception that gained yardage: 2 (Armstrong and Galloway)
- # of times Santana Moss was targeted: 1
- # of plays that could have turned out differently that would result in an 0-4 record: 2
- Nominees for most typical Redskins play: A) Donovan McNabb scrambles for crucial first down with less than four minutes left, but runs out of bounds instead of sliding B) Carlos Rogers prolongs another game with a dropped INT C) The game ends with the other team having a shot to win D) Shanahan burns his second TO in the second half with over 28 minutes left E) Armstrong gets jacked up by the turf monster
