NFL Predictions Week 6: Philadelphia's Dream Season Will End in Washington

From the moment that the Philadelphia Eagles were proclaimed as the "dream team" things began to fall apart in the city of Philadelphia.

First fans watched perhaps the best Phillies team in the history of the organization get knocked out of the playoffs in the NLDS.

Then they watched the Eagles drop game after game after game.

Right now, I think it's safe to say that Philadelphia fans are in a state of shock and they aren't too pleased about it.

Every week they have been fed the same nonsense from head coach Andy Reid.

"It's on me."

"We're fine there."

"I have to put my players in a better position."

Finally the fans have had enough. Sick of the talk, they are finally demanding results.

Reid took some major chances this offseason. He brought in key talent from across the league in hopes of building a stacked roster.

He brought in one of the best defensive line coaches in the league.

He brought one of the greatest offensive line coaches in the history of the league out of retirement.

He promoted his offensive line coach to be the defensive coordinator.

OK, well maybe that one was a mistake.

A mistake that is going to be the breaking point in the relationship between Reid and the city of Philadelphia.

The Eagles head into this weekend with a 1-4 record to take on the division leading Washington Redskins.

This is a Washington Redskins team that has turned things around this season.

They have the third-ranked scoring defense in the league allowing just 15.8 points per game.

It's a defense that will key in on forcing turnovers against an offense that has given up a higher percentage per game than ever before under Reid.

They also tend to control the ball on offense. Mike Shanahan has his typical run offense working well for the Redskins.

They will crush the nine-wide scheme in Philadelphia that has been allowing 140.2 rushing yards per game, a total that ranks 30th in the league.

After Sunday, the Eagles will put the dreams to rest.

With a 1-5 record heading into the bye week, it will be safe for fans to consider the once hopeful season all but over.
