Filthydelphia Eagles Pre Game Thread
 

Boom! Big game week 6! I'm actually really pumped for this game, we could make a big statement.

1. Steriod fiend lame Johnson is out and peters sux...I want to see pressure from the outside ends all day. Trent, Kerrigan and Preston "the ghost" Smith need to prepare to bring it all day. Like to see some outside blitz from safeties, CB and ilb to stress the end protection

2. Can we run the ball more efficiently and effectively? Look for Kelly and the emerging Chris Thompson to get more opportunities if jones comes out in the first quarter looking weak. This could be the game Matt jones feels the pressure and gives his best effort. The offense works the best when our run game sets up the pass.

3. Special teams...2 decent squads in special teams plays..the one who can make the most plays impact could sway the game.

Let's come out and make a statement! HTTR!

Re: Filthydelphia Eagles Pre Game Thread
 

I like our chances, but I like them every week. :)

We're so inconsistent, it wouldn't shock me to lose by twenty or win by twenty, so let's say we WIN this one by twenty.

It's about time we blow someone out. This week we win by two scores or more and my heart health won't be hurt on a Sunday for once. I think the Eagles are very similar to the Cowboys defensively. One stud, a bunch of guys, but a coordinator that gets the best out of them.

Re: Filthydelphia Eagles Pre Game Thread
 

We just signed a former Terp DL , hopefully he'll help.

31-26 skins

Cousins 3 tds 0 ints

Wentz 2 tds 2 ints

I feel nervous. I feel like this a good litmus test for us. I hope we exploit their RT situation.

Really hope Cravens is good to go but these conflicting reports are odd. Vision trouble tracking objects ... no bueno if true but I find it nearly impossible for any neurologist to claim he has permanent vision limitations less than 2 weeks from injury date.

If Dallas didnt exist I could spend a lot more time hating Philly.

Re: Filthydelphia Eagles Pre Game Thread
 

Bringing pressure on this young QB definitely will be key.

Watched the eagles @ lions game, their offense really isn't that scary, if Breeland is back, Ihenacho continues to ball, and Whitner gets in there, our secondary could look really good against their passing game.

Foster and Compton have to be as on fire as they were against the ravens, and we have a chance at not looking too bad against their running game.

My main worry is can our O-line establish a running game against a pretty strong D-line ? They're ranking 3rd against the run, 6th against the pass and 5th in number of sacks. Callahan better have a plan for them !

Re: Filthydelphia Eagles Pre Game Thread
 

They ARE doing a lot with a little. Ertz is OK, and they have that one WR who's name escapes me... I just have a hard time believing that suddenly they have a QB playing pretty well now they're offensive juggernauts.

Re: Filthydelphia Eagles Pre Game Thread
 

Head coach Jay Gruden hinted that Breeland, coming back from an ankle injury, and Phillips, working back from a hamstring issue, should be good to go for the Eagles game on Sunday.

The situation with Cravens is a bit different, as the rookie suffered a concussion against the Browns.

The NFL concussion protocol dictates how a player rejoins his team, and while Cravens was at practice for Washington, he did not have shoulder pads on like the rest of his teammates. His status for Sunday's NFC East contest against Philadelphia will be harder to tell.

I would love to see Cravens out there but I dont want to rush him. Im really looking forward to having Bree out there again. I really want to see him progress to the level he knows he can play.

Re: Filthydelphia Eagles Pre Game Thread
 

I just got a notification on my fantasy that Reed is questionable. Also on concussion protocol.

Re: Filthydelphia Eagles Pre Game Thread
 

I'm glad we get Breeland back, but I NEVER hear Dunbar's name called. Is he that good or are people just eating up our LBs?

Re: Filthydelphia Eagles Pre Game Thread
 

Jordan reed possible concussion.

I'd say he's doing pretty good, especially when you consider he converted from WR just last season, but I wouldn't say he's THAT good, I remember him getting burned on a few plays.

Bree and Phillips should sit. Dunber and fuller have been great.

Re: Filthydelphia Eagles Pre Game Thread
 

I'm just going to be completely honest with you guys. I would love to be excited about our 3-2 start. But let's look at the facts. We haven't had a very good offensive performance thus far this season. Kirk Cousins continues to leave big plays on the field. The running game has been below average with the exception of the Browns game. The defense has sucked all year with the exception of the Ravens below average offense. This game against the Eagles is winnable. However, I'm not very confident.

The Eagles can run and pass the ball. We haven't been able to stop anyone from running the ball and we are the worse in the league on third down. Our running game is joke and Kirk can't hit the deep ball to save his life. The Eagles defense has been decent over the first five weeks. There is a lot to be worried about.

Yep in fact Dunbar should keep starting. Breeland move to the nickle or something

Re: Filthydelphia Eagles Pre Game Thread
 

I would think JReed can play unless it's really significant and I don't think it is. He played the whole game

Code red trap game.

Seriously though, I feel like every week no matter the opponent someone here is wringing their hands with worry or predicting doom and gloom.

Breeland gets beat a couple of times in Game 1 by one of the top NFL receivers and all of the sudden he's not good enough to be our #2 CB? Don't be ridiculous. Norman should have been on Brown, anyway.

I also think that due to the injury. I like bree but dunbar has been balling lately.

I wish I shared your optimism. Unfortunately for me im living in the real world. This team can not stop the run. That means our opponents can move the ball on the ground and controll the clock. Until this team proves they can stop the run I'm confident they can beat any team and neither should ant Redskin fan. Our offense has been able to move the ball but Kirk has consistently missed big plays down the field. If he would have hit a wide open desean Jackson last Sunday he could have iced that game. But once again he managed to miss him and put our defense in a tough position. I have no confidence in Kirk, Jay, Sean, or Joe.

Re: Filthydelphia Eagles Pre Game Thread
 

We will need Cravens to help cover sproles on 3rd down because he will smoke Will Compton.

If Reed can't go. I'll be really worried.

I think the Eagles got this though in my gut.

Re: Filthydelphia Eagles Pre Game Thread
 

The Eagles got only one road win this year, against the Bears. The Bears got only one win this year, against the Lions. The same Lions that beat the Eagles, and lead 21 - 0 early in the game.

The Eagles only put up one impressive game, against the Steelers.

We just beat 2 good teams on the road, could have beaten them even more easily. Hell we could be 4-1 if KC had had a good game against the cowboys !

Point is, we can win this one, (this is football so technically every game can be won), but we have good reasons to believe here. Cheer up people, you're supposed to be fans, member ?

Re: Filthydelphia Eagles Pre Game Thread
 

Skins are 7-3 in their last 10 regular season games, 3 straight over Philly. Just saying.

Re: Filthydelphia Eagles Pre Game Thread
 

Philly has has many deficiencies as we do.

Re: Filthydelphia Eagles Pre Game Thread
 

Winnable game. I'd like our chances better if Reed is a go and Cravens (to keep Sproles in check) is a go. Two important playmakers on each side of the ball. Fingers crossed about that.

There are also some encouraging signs my friend.

While Kirk has missed some big play throws we expect him to make, he is still 6th overall in passing yards through the air and 6th in total passing yards. I tend to believe Kirk will start connecting on more long balls .. but he has hit some. He will get better.

Also, did you know our defense has not given up a 2nd half touchdown for 3 games now? I didnt know that. Thats pretty good second half adjustment by our pinata boy Barry and Fewell and co. Of course that stat coincides with our 3 game win streak coming against 2 winning teams. Which is nice. A lil win streak in the first half of a season is always a welcome guest.

Our 3rd down defense has to improve and I think they kept the Ravens to a conversion rate of 3/15 or something like that. Thats a start. Id like more of that please.

Re: Filthydelphia Eagles Pre Game Thread
 

Would you guys say the Eagles have the worst WR corps that we've faced so far? I would. I know Wentz is looking promising, but I really think we have the firepower in our secondary to really limit their passing game.

Re: Filthydelphia Eagles Pre Game Thread
 

This concussion thing with Jordan Reed is really not good at all. It didn't even look like he took any bad hits last week and he got another one. Not sure when the time is for him to think about his long term health, but that time has to be coming soon.

We have some depth there. Good moves by the front office bringing in Davis and keeping Paul. If he can't go next man up!

I think the Browns are the worst we will face all season. They basically had convert Terrelle Pryor and that was it.

I think the Eagles have 2 promising young wide outs in Matthews and Agholor. There are high expectations for Agholor who has quickness and I could see being a pain in the ass for years to come. Ertz and Celek are decent targets.

Re: Filthydelphia Eagles Pre Game Thread
 

and malcolm, i predict PAIN...i will be at the game, anyone else going. and good morning to you TMC

Re: Filthydelphia Eagles Pre Game Thread
 

I thought Pryor was better than those two combined. Basically every team has had elites (Bryant, Brown, Beckham) or very goods (Pryor, Cruz). I wouldn't put Matthews in that category. He has promise, but he hasn't shown he can dominate anyone.

Good morning sir, and you are correct. I forget this sometimes. I just think it's time for us to finally break the heart-attack and dominate someone's ass.

I'm so superstitious that a friend pranked my by putting up a Giants magnet on my mailbox for the game. I said I'm leaving it up there for karma. We won, and I still haven't taken it down.

Re: Filthydelphia Eagles Pre Game Thread
 

One area to gain an advantage.. eagles have lost one fumble all season, while we have been forcing them left and right with 10 on the year. If we win the turnover battle we have a good shot
