Put it this way, the Eagles had 23 minutes TOP last week and still won. That wasn't due to sustained drives, but because of 3 or 4 gash plays. I firmly believe that if Foles is forced to make 12-14 play drives, we win this going away.

Yeah, good points. To refine my previous point, we've really been hurt by giving up 1 or 2 big plays. Hopefully, the removal of Rambo will alleviate that somewhat.
