Didn't we start last year's run against Nick Foles and Philly? The way Griffin, Morris, Garçon, and Reed are playing, the offense should put up at least 30 points. Whether our Defense and Special Teams hold up their end will determine the outcome.

Yeah but Foles is playing at a totally different level than last year. The guy hasn't even been picked off yet.

Foles is Kolb 2.0. He'll have a couple of decent games, then the Eagles can get 2 first round picks until he goes on to bomb and be out of the league in 2 years.

Could not disagree more. Kolb is a soft China Doll that isn't willing to stand in the pocket cause he's scared of getting hit. Haven't seen any of that with Foles. He's standing in there and throwing guys open. Plus he throws a GREAT deep ball.

I don't know how you call a guy that has had several concussions soft. Kolb still sucks as a QB, but I wouldn't call him soft. Foles is just a better QB.

Skins seek redemption after the embarrassment of the first game.

Skins 28
Parakeets 24

Looking at the guy play, he's always running around when he doesn't need to. If he would just stand still and move around in the pocket he might not get hurt as much. To me he's got the deer in the headlights kind of look...like he's scared of getting rushed. Even one of the guys on Oakland mentioned it. Maybe soft isn't the right word...maybe jittery is better.

Kolb was basically the same guy on the Eagles as Foles is. Kolb now? Agreed, but that's what Foles will be as soon as the Eagles get their first rounders for him.

With the way he's playing Foles isn't going anywhere.

Vick is done there.

Kolb never threw this many TDs in a single season (career high = 9). Foles has thrown 16 in half a season. They are simply not the same guy.

I think the main difference between the two, is Foles is good with the potential to be great, Kolb is matt flynn with potential to be worse

The key to every win for the rest of the season is our Defense's ability to get turnovers. They can't stop anyone so unless they get a turnover, the other team will score on every possession. NOW, can Griffin and company keep up and score 30 per game? That's the next issue. I remember a time not so long ago when 21 points scored by our offense would win just about every game because the defense was so good and the offense was inept. Now its the reverse.

If you are betting, take the over from here on out.
