The Eagles give up 12 at home but somehow the Vikings are going to more than double that? Ok....
Are you kidding? I don't know about "sensitive" but we are about as defensive as you'll find. How would you like to have that fuccin snow ball story jammed down your gullet for 50 years? Of course we have a complex.

And we we wouldn't want it any other way.
WE ALL WE GOT! WE ALL WE NEED!
Ajayi was looking great last week besides the fumble in the first half and then disappeared I guess because of game script. I thought he was hurt or something he was gone so long. Then when he returned he didn't do anything until the screen. He needs the rock
I'm watching the game at home strapped bro. With my dog mask
Good advice. Viking fans should be scurred
The strength of the Vikings D is 3rd down defense. They are historically good at this so eating clock and sustaining drives will be the key if Eagles are to win. I just don't think Foles is good enough to do that in 3rd and 5+.
Yes, thats why I think its a key for them to win. Foles is good enough to do what he needs to do as long as Doug is good enough to call a great game. I have faith.
I'm sure the falcons thought the same thing. Foles had several long drives last week converting multiple third down s. Can he do it again?
The Falcons don't have a historically great 3rd down conversion percentage. That's not a great comparison.
then maybe just stay the #### out.Cowboysfan8 said:

Good, they've been warned
I tend to agree. I've never been to a game in Philly, but I've been to a number of Viking away games over the years. News flash: visiting team fans get treated like absolute trash EVERYWHERE. Philadelphia does not have the market cornered on antagonistic home crowds.
Yea, not sure why some philly fans seem to embrace it (I know there are a lot that don’t too). There are drunk idiots everywhere, it’s nothing special. I Was listening to some philly sports talk radio this week, the hosts of the show I was listening too seemed to embrace it too.
Mainly because the national media loves to harp on it. (Santa, for example.) When two identical, horrible incidents happen in two different stadiums, it only gets reported when it happens in Philly. So after a while you say screw it and embrace it.
Now...maybe. Put those goons from the old 700 level were the stuff of psycopathic, degenerate fan legend.
Think again.
Please, please don't judge Philadelphia fans by the sport radio and the callers they get. I tried listening a few times this week, it is truly unbearable. I must have heard 3 callers call in and mention how "dog" (since underdog is the theme) spelled backwards is God, so now they are going to win. And it is insane how far overboard some fans have gone with Wentz. I love the kid and think he will have a great career, but the people who call into the sports radio are just a weird minority of fan. People were asking if Wentz should help the team by designing plays and sitting in coaches meetings to help play calls
One of the stations actually said once that only 1 in 100 listeners actually call in. And if you haven't noticed, the majority of callers are regular nimrods. Just like any fan base, you will have about 10% be obnoxious to down right insane. By and large, Philly fans are knolwlegable and passionate of course. If you want to listen to cogent talk, catch Ray Didenger on the weekends on 94.1. I kinda can't stand the host, Glen McNow (I think he's quite rude at times) but Ray is a Hall of Fame writer and a fountain of information and a gentleman.Please, please don't judge Philadelphia fans by the sport radio and the callers they get.

Elliot kicks a late FG to put the birds up 10-9. Keenum gets the ball back with 1:30 left and drives down to the 25. With time running out, Kai Forbath hooks the game winner wide left. It is known.
I think Newman is a better player than Agholor. So while this be something the Eagles need, and maybe this is the closes't to a plus match up for your receivers, I don't think it is a plus match up. Newman played on 56% of the defensive snaps for the Vikings this year, so he is on the field a lot. He is 12th in total number of snaps for Vikings defenders on the year.
This is a match up that the Vikings need to win I think. Griffen has slowed down recently, dealing with a foot injury.
i didn't realize the Vikings really only use 5 DL. Granted you have some super talent there, but with them playing so many snaps all year, it sounds like they have begun to slow down the last month or so. it will be good for the Eagles to use Ajayi early to take the speed of your DEs down a bit and to continue to wear down the DTs. so hoping you are right about Ajayi, as long as he holds on to the ball!!
Tom Johnson has played more than I think is ideal. He has played the run a lot better this year, but it would be good to rest him on 1st downs with either Stephen or Jaleel Johnson. Tom Johnson is 32 years old and the run game has never been his strong suit. Playing him on running downs likely is slowing him down somewhat.
