Eagles and FBG projections this week very high (1 Viewer)

[Gottabesweet]

Number 1 QB, and RB and a top ten WR.

Chip Kelly has said he is playing his starters but could easily pull them at half, or up or down two scores. Foles as the top ranked QB more questionable than McCoy within RBs

FBG's doesn't seem worried are you?

Benching any Eagles if so for who?

People have already talked about this and I really think there is a big difference between the 3 and 4 seed this year.

a. The 3 seed gets home field advantage in the case there is a rematch between the two teams. That isn't worth playing for?

b. In the likely event both teams get past the wild card teams, the 4 seed goes to Seattle and the 3 seed most likely goes to New Orleans. I am sorry, but that is a really big difference. I am pretty confident that there is no way Seattle loses their first game, while with N.O there is a pretty good chance to get by.

I really think this game is way bigger than some of the worry worts are letting on.

I am very worried about the rankings but only because FBG have all of them so high and I have all of them on my team. I think there is no way regardless of the early game outcomes that both teams don't play their hardest in this one for the reasons mentioned above. As a bears fan I know I would much rather play anyone in the NFC than Seattle.

No worries at all that Kelly pulls them early if Dallas wins. He wants to win this game. They're playing the whole game.

 

[Teef]

The Eagles starters will not be pulled.

Agreed, I was thinking only about the home field advantage as a good reason as that has happened in past playoffs and first round teams (like Baltimore and the Giants) have won the last 2 Super Bowls. The teams with byes do lose. That going to Seattle is another big difference. New Orleans is great at home, but Philly and Chicago have good offenses, capable of staying in a shoot out, but they don't (especially Chicago) have the run defenses to stop Lynch and win a defensive battle (i.e. their Ds suck). I'd rather go through New Orleans and play in a nice dome where my offenses can run wild.

I don't know much about Chip Kelly but I hope he's a gamer.

If they need the win for the 3 seed, they wont pull anyone.

3 seed is a big difference then the 4 seed in that bracket.

I'd be more worried about their rankings due to weather than I would thinking Kelly is going to pull them. He's not pulling anyone unless it's a blowout

ANd I gotta pick between Brees and Foles, Brees probably playing in the same kind of weather. Decisions, decisions.

Gotta wait a little while longer to get the 24 hour weather report to see what they expect in Philly from 9-midnight

Game will be a shootout. I'd start Foles and McCoy if I could.

Chip Kelly seems to be a major risk taker and out to prove his college scheming will work in the pros. If he rests the starters it will be if they have 30+ lead in the 4th.
