Well, looks like you fools have been exposed. This is a butt smearing violation, not a game. What a disaster for you....it is hard to win the SuperBowl when you get destroyed like this at this point in the season.

Got #### in your own pool.

Eagles fans discuss our team in our own thread, express optimism with a big game looming while the team's 7-2. Have a bad game in tough stadium and all the ####### trolls come out.

SMH

Ya I expected this from Cowboys fans, but not Packers fans. Thought they had a grateful, knowledgable fan base.

Wow...nice block!

Yeah GB fans are usually pretty good. Couple of dbags though shouldn't taint the whole fanbase.

Oh, you're back.

Eh, 7-3 and still at the top of the NFCE. 11-5, 12-4 is still a pretty good season. Especially considering the condition Reid left them in.

You act like a pretty big tool considering even with the win they will both have the same record.

I will not deny you have had a good season thus far....and maybe I am a little bit of a jerk for rubbing it in, but you have to admit that this puts a damper on things. You have to be questioning your season with the whipping that is going on right now. On the road or not. Getting almost 50 dropped on you is a travesty.

By "razz" he really means "troll" or "piss all over".

Wow you are quite a genius you mean we didn't get better when we lost our QB? Can't all look as great as your squad did when Rodgers broke his collarbone huh?

[Long Ball Larry]

We just need to take care of Dallas and then let everything else sort itself out.

Yep, that's gone. Home playoff game would be nice, although a 5th place trip to Atlanta wouldn't be the worst.

Arizona's schedule is pretty brutal from here on out. GB has a fairly easy schedule. Eagles season will rest on what it does versus Dallas from here on out. A bye and a home game would be nice. At that point, anything is possible.

Was curious about this statement so I did some looking at the past 10 Superbowl Champs.

2012 Baltimore Ravens lost 43-13 in week 7 to Houston

2011 New York Giants lost 49-24 in week 11 to New Orleans

2008 Pittsburgh Steelers lost 31-14 in week 16 to Tennessee

2007 New York Giants lost 41-17 in week 12 to Minnesota

2006 Indianapolis Colts lost 44-17 in week 14 to Jacksonville

So half of the Superbowl winners in the past 10 years got beat soundly late in the season.

 

[Amused to Death]

So, it wasn't Huff's mistake - it was the coaching. He said so himself:

Late in the first quarter of the Eagles' 53-20 loss to the Packers, Huff was running unimpeded toward Hyde, who had yet to catch Donnie Jones' punt.

Once he was within a few years of the Packers' second-year returner, Huff slammed on the brakes. Hyde caught the ball, Huff stutter-stepped by him and reached out with his right arm.

But Hyde was gone.

"I just did my job, did what the coaches told me to do. I just did what the coaches told me," Huff said. "If I would have stuck to what I know, I would have made that play.

"If I would have stuck to what I know, just played my game of football, I would have made that play.

"That's all I can tell you without going into, without trying to get in trouble."

Does he have any redeeming qualities? He needs to be cut.

 

[need2know]

Not many teams can go into gb and win right now. Maybe ne or denver. Who else?

Not surprised but wanted to see more from sanchez. Be interesting to see what kelly does when foles is healthy. I think you have to go back to him when healthy unless sanchez starts to look better.

All I have seen is negative plays on the field and he continues to get chances. ...

Denver can't even go into St. Louis and win.

Yeah, he went to Oregon. <_<

In all seriousness, I'm interested to see how Chip handles Huff. It's clear he overvalued the kid in the draft out of familiarity, but there's no place for sentiment in the modern NFL. This is as good a chance as any for Chip to send two messages to the league: that he doesn't play favorites and isn't worried about sunk costs.

I really thought Huff was going to be a solid addition to the team this year but his early injury combined with boneheaded mistakes really make it hard to justify keeping him. Fortunate for him there's not many WRs out there to pick up otherwise he may be gone already.

 

[unckeyherb]

Rough game, but sometimes it happens. Denver lost to St Louis. We got stroked by arguably one of the best teams in the league. They played like crap in all three phases of the game and GB played lights out. Whatever, a loss is a loss and this one only counts as one loss. I hoped they would win, but honestly I had this game penciled as a loss all year, so just move on to next week. Gotta get the bugs out soon though as we've got the tough stretch after Tenn. Best case scenario is we win the division and Detroit wins the North. I don't want to face GB in GB again.

I think it will depend on how Sanchez plays going forward. GB did not have a great defense and Sanchez did not look good. He missed a lot of throws and took a lot of hits. 5-1 seems like a stretch to me with 4 divisional games (3 on the road) and Seattle left. The Giants and Redskins stink but those games will still be played on the road. I would be very surprised if they won 5 out of the next 6 games.

And even his completions were not the best throws.

The running game, or lack of, is killing us this year. It HAS to get going in order for us to go 5-1 the rest of the way.

I soundly disagree. The GB defense has been playing lights out the last month. In the Saints game they were without their two best cornerbacks (Williams and Shields) playing against Brees so gotta give a bit of a pass there. Since they've been back, and the few games before that one, the defense has been playing at a top level.

Sanchez also took 2 shots to the head that were helmet to helmet on a QB and never called. If that happened to Rogers you can bet the flags would fly. I know its an excuse we clearly were not ready for this game. But it is a great game for our team. We got to experience a beat down by a very good team. Doesn't taste very well for us today but good things can come of this. Better it happens now instead of in the playoffs. I agree with Insein 12-4 seems likely. I also have a feeling that Arizona will end up 11-5. We will have a shot at first round bye.

It's hard to win on the road in the NFL, with the way Rodgers plays at Lambeau it might be the toughest place to win a game at.

I think the whole offense has regressed. Obviously the injuries to the O-line hurt and that may have the biggest impact of all. I don't like Shady--I think he's overrated and his comments kind of rub me the wrong way. Why did Sproles only get 2 carries? He's not a 20 carry back but he's shown that he can handle more than 2 carries.

Yup you obviously know much better than I do. I just looked at the overall stats but didn't realize how good they've been the past month.

I'm kind of confused about Sproles' usage as a whole to be honest with you. I thought we would see him and Shady in the backfield a lot together but they're almost never on the field together.

I see them no worse than 13-3. The only close game they've played was against the Eagles. Every other one, they've won handily.

[dhockster]

My prediction is this is the week that the Eagles get grounded. For all their offensive flair last year, the Eagles offense this year has not been very good at all. The amount of turnovers/TDs by special teams and defense has been completely carrying this team and is nowhere near sustainable. One of the reasons for the defensive/special teams success is that the Eagles have played a slew of turnover-happy QBs this year (soft schedule).

Unfortunately, this week they play Rodgers, whom is one of the least turnover-prone QBs in the modern era. Add to that the fact that the Packers are playing spectacularly at home (no losses, with an average margin of victory of 24 points) and it could be a long day for the Philly faithful. In the Eagles two losses the net turnover ratio was negative (in both they got one turnover but gave up more than one). The Packers currently own the 2nd best turnover ratio in the NFL over the first nine weeks, so good luck winning that battle, especially with the Packers at home.

I appear to be one of the few not ready to proclaim the Sanchez switch a success after a few quarters of football. I think he's going to struggle with the game being away and without being gifted solid field position several times per game. As a fourth item, the Packers DEF has had three dominate performances in the last 4 games and are starting to play up to their talent level. I venture to say that the Saints game was an anomaly due to Williams and Shields both being out (hard to play against Brees without your two best cover corners). Both are back on the field.

Packers 34-17

A couple points:

-The Eagles has not been able to run as effectively as last year, true, but they have still moved the ball. They have turned the ball over 21 times with quite a few in the red zone. This cost them the Arizona game. The SF game was the only

game they were shut down and they turned the ball over 4 times, and yet still were 2 plays from a yard out from winning that game.

-Sanchez may struggle in Green Bay. I could see that. Playing on the road at one of the toughest venues in the NFL, in poor throwing conditions, against a quality opponent, a poor performance would not be a surprise at all. But that does

not mean that he is not going to have success as the Eagles Back-up.

-I also see the Pack winning mainly because I don't see the running game getting on track against the Pack in Green Bay and throwing conditions will not be good for the passing game. I think Rodgers does enough to overcome the conditions, the Eagles pass rush, and the Eagles special teams to win a low scoring game 20-13.

-I would also not be surprised to see the Eagles pull an upset, because this is one of the toughest mental teams from player one to player fifty-three that I have seen the Eagles field.

Did not expect the Eagles to be bad in all 3 phases of the game.

Phenomena, congrats on your team's win. You guys are looking tough. Winning the division will probably come down to the last game of the season as the Lions should go 4-1 in their next 5. Since the Lions won the first meeting, they win the

tiebreaker if they win in Lambeau. Packer's could be a 12-4 WC team playing at a below .500 NFC South team.

Hopefully, the Eagles will get another chance at the Packers, but maybe at the Linc. Based on yesterday, I don't see the Eagles winning in Lambeau this season.

We went on a tear last year after the Denver loss. I still see us finishing 12-4.

I think it will depend on how Sanchez plays going forward. GB did not have a great defense and Sanchez did not look good. He missed a lot of throws and took a lot of hits. 5-1 seems like a stretch to me with 4 divisional games (3 on the road) and Seattle left. The Giants and Redskins stink but those games will still be played on the road. I would be very surprised if they won 5 out of the next 6 games.

Sanchez also took 2 shots to the head that were helmet to helmet on a QB and never called. If that happened to Rogers you can bet the flags would fly. I know its an excuse we clearly were not ready for this game. But it is a great game for our team. We got to experience a beat down by a very good team. Doesn't taste very well for us today but good things can come of this. Better it happens now instead of in the playoffs. I agree with Insein 12-4 seems likely. I also have a feeling that Arizona will end up 11-5. We will have a shot at first round bye.

Disagree with Arizona.

I see them no worse than 13-3. The only close game they've played was against the Eagles. Every other one, they've won handily.

Green Bay and Detroit I see switching places. GB should finish 12-4 also which of course bounces us from the bye.

Classic letdown. Just beat a pretty good team soundly. They'll be feeling themselves a bit. Going on the road against a division opponent who was embarrassed last time they played. Minny wins a close one. But then GB comes back and beats the Pats in Lambeau.

My prediction is this is the week that the Eagles get grounded. For all their offensive flair last year, the Eagles offense this year has not been very good at all. The amount of turnovers/TDs by special teams and defense has been completely carrying this team and is nowhere near sustainable. One of the reasons for the defensive/special teams success is that the Eagles have played a slew of turnover-happy QBs this year (soft schedule).

Unfortunately, this week they play Rodgers, whom is one of the least turnover-prone QBs in the modern era. Add to that the fact that the Packers are playing spectacularly at home (no losses, with an average margin of victory of 24 points) and it could be a long day for the Philly faithful. In the Eagles two losses the net turnover ratio was negative (in both they got one turnover but gave up more than one). The Packers currently own the 2nd best turnover ratio in the NFL over the first nine weeks, so good luck winning that battle, especially with the Packers at home.

I appear to be one of the few not ready to proclaim the Sanchez switch a success after a few quarters of football. I think he's going to struggle with the game being away and without being gifted solid field position several times per game. As a fourth item, the Packers DEF has had three dominate performances in the last 4 games and are starting to play up to their talent level. I venture to say that the Saints game was an anomaly due to Williams and Shields both being out (hard to play against Brees without your two best cover corners). Both are back on the field.

Packers 34-17

A couple points:

-The Eagles has not been able to run as effectively as last year, true, but they have still moved the ball. They have turned the ball over 21 times with quite a few in the red zone. This cost them the Arizona game. The SF game was the only

game they were shut down and they turned the ball over 4 times, and yet still were 2 plays from a yard out from winning that game.

-Sanchez may struggle in Green Bay. I could see that. Playing on the road at one of the toughest venues in the NFL, in poor throwing conditions, against a quality opponent, a poor performance would not be a surprise at all. But that does

not mean that he is not going to have success as the Eagles Back-up.

-I also see the Pack winning mainly because I don't see the running game getting on track against the Pack in Green Bay and throwing conditions will not be good for the passing game. I think Rodgers does enough to overcome the conditions, the Eagles pass rush, and the Eagles special teams to win a low scoring game 20-13.

-I would also not be surprised to see the Eagles pull an upset, because this is one of the toughest mental teams from player one to player fifty-three that I have seen the Eagles field.

Anything can happen ... but the GB schedule is cake rest of the year. Getting ATL out of their dome will be another blowout, and BUF/MIN/TB away games are easy matchups. New England and Detroit are the only real tests and those are both at home, where Rodgers has been insane the past couple of years.

12-4 WC? The Packers would be near a lock for for a first-round bye at that record.

The Lions game will be the toughest left ... they remind me of the 2011 Giants, where they can rush 4, drop 7, and Rodgers has no one to throw open. I don't want to meet them in the playoffs. They are our kryptonite this year.

Well, looks like you fools have been exposed. This is a butt smearing violation, not a game. What a disaster for you....it is hard to win the SuperBowl when you get destroyed like this at this point in the season.

Got #### in your own pool.

Eagles fans discuss our team in our own thread, express optimism with a big game looming while the team's 7-2. Have a bad game in tough stadium and all the ####### trolls come out.

SMH

Ya I expected this from Cowboys fans, but not Packers fans. Thought they had a grateful, knowledgable fan base.

Im sorry for meatwad.

I don't think you will find many others talking this type of trash.

Not if the Lions go 4-1 (at NE, Home for Chi, TB, Min, at Chi) and then beat the Packers at Green Bay. Not saying it will happen, but it definitely could happen.
