Yes the Eagles beat us twice but realistically the Eagles should beat us twice we are comming off a major change in coaching mentality, we were 5-11 last year, we are ranked in the lower parts of the NFL in terms of offence and we are 4 and 9 BUT we were one bone head play away from winning last night....
What I saw last night is the way to beat the Eagles this year is the same way to beat them last year - beat up their recievers and contain the running game on D and keep your D off the field as much as anything. Green Bay nearly won in the playoffs last year had they played that way all game but bizzarley gave up on the run even though they were getting nearly 6 yards per carry and put the ball in Farves hands to throw away. Carolina did use the same philosophy and whoooped them in the Championship game.
Don't get me wrong the Eagles are the best team in the NFC (probably) but it is starting to remind me of the 17 years of NFC dominance in the Super bowl no matter how good the AFC team looked in regular season come to the big game they were just overpowered. I can see the same thing happening ith the Eagles....
