Redskins vs. Eagles: The Great, The Good, and the Not-So-Good

The Great
- Evan Royster looks good again despite playing injured, with 113 yards rushing and 52 yards receiving
- Orakpo continues to play at an all-pro level, with two sacks and a forced fumble
- because the Skins lost and the Jaguars won, the Skins move up a spot in the draft
- the Skins have a ton of talented young players who should only get better next year including: rookies Evan Royster, Roy Helu, Ryan Kerrigan, and Leonard Hankerson, 2nd-year players Perry Riley, Darrel Young, Graham Gano, DeJon Gomes, and Trent Williams, and 3rd-year player Brian Orakpo


The Good
- More signs of Kyle Shanahan's passing scheme starting to click as, for the 2nd straight week, Grossman completes passes to 9 different players -- and this is without Fred Davis in the lineup

The Not-So-Good
- another blocked FG, the fifth of the year; might this be special team's coordinator Danny Smith's last game with the Skins?
- another mediocre game from Grossman ... he just doesn't cut it as a starter
- defense plays its worst during the last two games of the season, giving up 35 points to the Eagles this week and 33 points last week to lowly 3-13 Minnesota
- another last-place finish in the NFC East
