When the Eagles (4-10) line up against the Washington Redskins (8-6) on Sunday (1: P.M. FOX) there will be little play for other than pride, the fans, and themselves. Throw in the spoiler role, as the Redskins will be fighting to stay in the drivers’ seat for the NFC East Championship.

Offensive guard Jake Scott was asked id it would be nice to leave the fans something to smile about.

“It been a disappointment for them as well as us all around,” Scott said. “It is a chance though to rain on someone else’s parade and that’s not bad.”

Robert Griffin III is likely to play against the Birds after missing last week’s win over the Cleveland Browns.

Kirk Cousins stepped in threw for 329 yards and a quarterback rating of 104.4. RGIII enters the game with a season QB rating of 104.2. In his first meeting against the Eagles on November 18, the rookie was 14 of 15 for 200 yards, four TDs, 0 interceptions, a QB rating of 158.3 and Player of the Weeks honors. The Redskins blew out the Birds 31-6.

Scott confirmed it is a no-brainer to keep Griffin and the Washington offense off the field.

“I think that’s or responsibility every week,” Scott said. “We’ve got to put some points on the board. Against Cincinnati, I think we move the ball pretty well in the first half. We stalled in the Red Zone a couple of times…we need to get touchdowns. We need to keep the defense in a good spot by us staying on the field and them off the field, that’s the easiest way of stopping them, keep the ball out of their hands.”

LeSean McCoy will return to action after missing action since the first meeting against Washington. McCoy suffered a concussion at the end of the game. Many criticized Reid for leaving his franchise running back in the game when it was already decided. McCoy said he would have been upset had his coach removed him from the game.

“If he had taken me out, I’d have been on him so much, bugging him,” said McCoy, who enters the game with 750 yards on 177 carries and two scores. “You don’t play like that. You’re down so you take all your guys out? No. You fight to the very end. (Andy) knows that and I know that. When I heard that people were upset that I was in the game…you start the game, you finish it, no matter what the score is.”

“I thought he was pretty good when he first got here,” McCoy said. “He’s gotten a lot, lot better with his decision-making and being with him in the huddle in practice…he’s changed. He’s more of a leader, way more of a leader.”

This will most likely be Andy Reid’s last game as head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles. He has been at the helm for 14 seasons.

This season has been a nightmare at every level. Reid has been to the playoffs nine times, the NFC title game five times and a Super Bowl.

Professional football players are supposed to arrive at this level with complete skill sets. The turnovers and boneheaded plays are put on the coach. And certainly Reid is to blame for his own bad decisions on and off the field. He has endured personal problems that are every parent’s worst case scenarios. But he is the boss and he will go. McCoy, like many long-time Eagles are taking blame for his apparent demise.

“As players it seems like he is taking the blame for everything when it’s kind of your fault,” McCoy said. “There are times when I’ve said, ‘coach, I let you down’ he looked at me. We have that mutual understanding. It’s not fair. When I make a mistake no one gets to see me and see my reaction to it. You think I’m doing fine. It’s not the case. As players, we’ve let Coach down.”

Some players, like Scott were not here for the cave-in. Scott actually helped stop the bleeding on the offensive line, a unit that endured injury after injury.

Will Scott, who was out of football the first 10 weeks of 2012 after long and productive career, get a chance to play in Philadelphia in 2013?

“I’d like to, but right now all I can do is play the next two games and see what happens after that,” Scott said. “I definitely no opposed to coming back here next year.”
