Robinson has been playing way better than anyone thought he could at this stage of his career and Mills is fearless. I think they can hold their own against bigger WRs. It's the speedy guys that usually burn them. They've been keeping every thing in front of them and making plays this year.How well do PHI homers feel Mills and Robinson will match-up against KB and Funchess?
The closest comp I can find is BMarsh who turned in a 8/66 line against what I'm assuming was Mills. But yeah, I keep reading that they should match-up well vs. bigger/slower receivers. I'd still have a hard time sitting either against a secondary who has given up so many points to WRs, especially over the last three weeks.Robinson has been playing way better than anyone thought he could at this stage of his career and Mills is fearless.

That said, when the game is over they could have played well and KB or Funchess could have 6 or 7 catches for close to 100 yds. So who knows.
I wouldn't sit them if you own them. Cause the Eagles have had lapses but not as many as last year. Mills seems to get better every week.The closest comp I can find is BMarsh who turned in a 8/66 line against what I'm assuming was Mills.

Sports radio host was saying that this week is a good matchup for the Eagles CBs,............... more so than the previous weeks.......... as the Eagles CBs should be able to keep up with them in the speed department. Eagles have CBs who are slower. That being said...he felt the Eagles CBs would be battling for jump balls all night and success in that dept. would determine their success.How well do PHI homers feel Mills and Robinson will match-up against KB and Funchess?

Probably the only time you and I are on opposite sides!
The Panthers are still without their starting center, Kalil. I imagine the Eagles will get to Cam a time or two. The Panthers starting safety, Coleman, is still out as well.Probably the only time you and I are on opposite sides!
I'm admittedly concerned, though, with the injuries, esp. Lane Johnson, after what happened during last year's suspension.
Jeffrey should be much more favorable matchup than the past several weeks. Has had several top CBs on him.How is Jeffrey's matchup? He's been disappointing thus far.
McCaffrey?
agreed, depends partly on Carolina's line. If Eagles bring usual pressure, they should be fine. If CAR figures out how to handle it, things could get a little rough.The closest comp I can find is BMarsh who turned in a 8/66 line against what I'm assuming was Mills.

I'm not sure I follow. Are you saying that if PHI is able to pressure Cam that the WRs will be fine or won't be fine?agreed, depends partly on Carolina's line. If Eagles bring usual pressure, they should be fine. If CAR figures out how to handle it, things could get a little rough.
meant Mills and Robinson would be fine if PHI line keeps pressure.I'm not sure I follow. Are you saying that if PHI is able to pressure Cam that the WRs will be fine or won't be fine?
A lot of Funchess' success has come during blitzes for whatever that's worth.
The only thing that could hold it back is that Thursday night games usually blowI was bored and wanted to talk about the game. So here we are.
Who would have thought Eagles vs Panthers week 6 would have so much meaning for the NFC at the beginning of the year? I hope this is a great game tonight.
Start him. He's the manLord help me, I am compelled to start Wentz tonight. My normal starter is on the by, and Wentz has been superior regardless.
Thursday night football has mostly been the suck, The Carolina Panthers defense is legitimate.
I guess I’ll hope for two touchdowns and 300 yards as a ceiling? Ugh
I’ve got no choice. I mean, I guess I could pick up Brian Hoyer and start them at the Redskins on Sunday, but that seems just as bad and most likely much much worse.Start him. He's the man
Oh hell noI’ve got no choice. I mean, I guess I could pick up Brian Hoyer and start them at the Redskins on Sunday, but that seems just as bad and most likely much much worse.
Found theseWhat is this about Fletcher Cox playing? Has he even practiced in the past 2 weeks?
Probably his floor. If he breaks his leg between now and game time.Lord help me, I am compelled to start Wentz tonight. My normal starter is on the by, and Wentz has been superior regardless.

I'm with you. I avoid Thursday players when I can, but my other QB is Mariota, who may not playHot Sauce Guy said:Lord help me, I am compelled to start Wentz tonight. My normal starter is on the by, and Wentz has been superior regardless.

Every week I start him he gets 1 carry......lets hope its a good one.Mystery Achiever said:Go for it. I benched Blount (for Lynch), so I am sure he'll have a great game.
:( V will need some help. Real good play by Peppers and Carolina though, can't be that upsetgreat start....Carson with time !
