Ya I think they are going to be as focused as they were for the last giants home game. The D may be shaky, but I think we put up a ton of points to prove a point. 34-24 Eagles.
Just finished making a crock pot full of pulled pork, fridge full of Yards....Go Jacksonville!
Wow sounds awesome. He'll remember this game forever so I hope it is memorable and we get a W!
Took my daughter to the Pittsburgh preseason game (her first game). The whole ride home she was singing the Eagles fight song. Gotta start 'em young.
Home field will be important IMO. Two close losses this season came on the road, w/long travel west, against playoff caliber teams. While PHI had a chance to both with a chance to win these games from the 1...be nice to have big games in the Linc.
Yep I don't think GB will have that same strategy and they haven't had the best Run D. We need to keep Rodgers off the field so I suspect a lot of running next week.
An uptempo game with Rodgers vs Sancheekz doesn't seem like a good idea at all.. Rodgers is on a historic pace like Foles was last year.
I'm hoping we can run all over them but they may have improved. GB did a good job of holding down Forte. Clay Matthews was play ILB which might've been part of that.
I also took him (and my 6 year old) to the 4th preseason game and they were so excited to go I felt bad when we got there and the stadium was half full and none of their favorite players were playing. I felt like I had to make it up to him and take him to a real game, and they don't get much better than that one.
It's basic Chip philosophy. They're an equal opportunity offense.
Absolutely, and deservedly so.
If you win in Green Bay in November, yea that gets you in the conversation for Super Bowl.
Post game presser, Chip stated that CAR played almost exclusively man to man defense, especially early on, and they felt that the mismatches were the 'inside receivers,' slot and TE. So, they took what the matchup dictated and Matthews, Celek had big nights.
BMitch, Sproles, Desean, Bwest for overall careers. Consistency vs occasional explosions. BMitch is the all time return yardage leader and 3rd in return tds. Sproles is currently 8th in yards. Desean has memorable tds but not a very good average. Westbrook was good all around but only 2 career TDs.
Generally speaking, a pretty good run at PR recently for this team - certainly a far cry from Gizmo Williams
Vai Sikahema!Ted Lange as your Bartender said:
Yes they are on a roll and playing very well, but they are a 6-3 team with wins over the Jets, the Bears (x2), Minnesota, Miami, and the Panthers. That's 1 team with a winning record. And lost to the Saints. It's going to be a tough game but I don't fear the Packers any more than I did going to Arizona. Eagles can certainly win this game.
Calm down there. It's a relevant and important stat that likely never has been and never will be replicated in the NFL again. 0-10 right into 9-0 is something that should be being brought up more.
If he doesn't dedicate all his time and stay focused on the upcoming opponent then how else is he supposed to come up with things to yell at the television about this weekend?
Oh I know. But should GB win it'll be there best win of the year. Not like they've been beating up on high quality teams. And it took a last-minute TD for them to beat the Dolphins (their only +.500 win).
34-31 sounds about right. I think the Eagles are going to lose but only because the game is in GB. I actually think they're a better overall team than GB and would probably beat them if they meet in the playoffs.
