Elderado vs Eagles (1 Viewer)

[BigTex]

Let me first say this is NOT a WSIS, but a closer look at the game.

Facts:

Eagles D.

Passing ranked #28 (244yds a game)

Has allowed 100 pass receptions (last in the league).

Giving up 18.2 pts per game ranked #14.

TD 5, Int 3, Sacks 16

Facts:

Cowboys O.

Passing ranked #15

TD 5, Int 4, Sacks 3

Dallas OL is the key, they've given up only 3 sacks, yet Phily is avg 4 a game. I'm sure the stadium is going to be hyped but Elderado along with Glenn, JJ, Bledsoe, and Witten will show up. (side note) Witten had 10 catches for 110yds in Phily last year.

 

[redman]

TO will not have a quiet game. He has the ultimate motivation going for him: his ego. I'd expect 80/1 from him, but that may be conservative. I would expect Glenn to have a bigger game than TO, though.

I haven't been impressed with TO's ability to catch the ball with that injured hand - he's looked to me like he's treating that hand gingerly and sometimes even appears to be favoring the other hand over the injured one and almost catching one-handed.

Note that the Eagles have given up a huge number of passing yards when they've held large leads in the second half. This doesn't strike me a game where they'll boat race their opponent in the first half and spend the rest of the game trying to hold them off on defense. I'd figure this to be a dog fight all game long.

 

[Ridgelake]

I actually think that TO's number will be entirely based on how the eagles choose to defend him. If they want to double him every play, they can limit him. But if they do that, then Glenn, Witten, and/or JJ will have big, big games.

I personally think that Philly won't totally key on TO. A win would shut him up more than anything. So they will mix coverages and defenses. That being the case, TO will have opportunities. I expect that he'll take advantage of them.

 

[Texican]

If Dallas loses and TO doesn't have a big game...the soap opera will get even more interesting in Big D

Take a closer look at your stats.Fact: The Eagles have had a double digit lead in every game this season. Don't you think that teams are going to pass more against them?

 

[King of the Jungle]

The fact that people are saying that TO will put up numbers because he is playing Philly is only half the story. The Philly D will be trying to lay the smack on him just as hard. No advantage for either side IMO.

If Westy is healthy, Philly will run away with this one.

Hello Snotbubbles, the reason it based on perception, numbers are based on reality. I didn't post what my opinion is/was, just raw numbers nothing more, nothing less. The numbers are facts.

i think this thread was just a reason to call him that and look cool

 

[BigTex]

Parcells and Bledsoe have already set the stage for this one. Bledsoe with his timely (& BP approved) comments about Terry Glenn being the "best WR he has ever played with". As a reminder to the Philadelphia defense (and everyone else) that they have more than just one WR to cover when they play Dallas.When looking at what the Eagles have done against similiar type WR's this year...one can see that both Andre Johnson and Plaxico Burress blew up the Eagles defense for over 100+ yards each. I would say considering all factors here, this bodes very well for a very good game from Owens in this one.

Last year in Phily, (when they were healthy) Bledsoe threw for 289yds and 3TDs, T. Glenn had 118yds and 2 TDs.For those that don't like the Elderado reference, tell him to change his name.

[JuniorNB]

I think that Owens will have good stats, probably a touchdown, but the Eagles will still win.

 

[Snotbubbles]

Last year in Phily, (when they were healthy) Bledsoe threw for 289yds and 3TDs, T. Glenn had 118yds and 2 TDs.

That game was in Dallas.The game in Philly, Bledsoe threw for 196 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT. Terry Glenn had 2 catches for 31 yards and 1 TD.And the TD was with the Eagles up 20-7 and 3:00 to go in the game.And McNabb wasn't healthy all year.

So the Dallas offense will only be able to score 14 pts on Sunday at Philadelphia?

[Cowboys#1]

snotbubbles, you guys are going to get the snot beat out of you.

the fact is there is no way the eagles can defend every weapon the Cowboys have.

the ONLY way the eagles have a shot is if the OL gets demolished, or Bledsoe gets colour blind

[redman]

The truth is that each of the four NFC East teams in the two intra-divisional matchups this weekend are all facing early moments of truth for their seasons. None of them have emerged as a clear division favorite, and only the Giants arguably are in any immediate danger of falling well behind of the leaders in that race with a loss this weekend.

The Redskins probably have the most momentum in the division heading into this game, but they've also historically performed poorly in New York and not everyone's sold that these last two games aren't an inflated representation of their offense.

The Giants have the advantage of a "need" to win and a bye week, but they've played poor defense all year long, which is a surprise.

The Eagles have a good home field advantage and have shown a strong offense, but may be without Westbrook, haven't beaten anyone of note and have shown an alarming propensity to blow second half leads.

The Cowboys have played solidly more recently, but have the TO-versus-Donovan show as a potential distraction and always know that any game at Philly will be a war.

If there's ever a week to start T.O., it's this week.

What's the problem? You posted stats that were wrong. I knew the second I saw it because I've been kicking the idea of starting Bledsoe, and I knew that he sucked in Philly, and did well in Dallas. There's a reason for that, which you seem to want to ignore.Either way, if you insist on calling Owens by his middle name, you should at least spell it right...and then call Bledsoe by his middle name as well.

McQueen to Elderado? That's just...wrong.
