Skins @ Eagles Week 1

[skinsfaninok]

Tough test for a young skins team on the road against a SB Contender..

I don't see this team winning this one but I hope I'm wrong.

Eagles D proves to be too much for a BAD OL without Trent and our Defense just cant hold up in the 4th.

Eagles 24 Skins 17

Eagles have a great Oline and good Dline.......this will be trench warfare.

Defense: ILB will be key with our team all season and especially this weekend, not only stopping the run for an organization that loves to run the ball, but covering 2 TEs that are sticking moving monsters. Safety gonna have to cover and help as well.

Offensive side of ball...Eagles were vulnerable to the big pass play last season OR played conservative against pass which soften up the short throws. Outstide of Jenkins, their secondary and ILB in coverage...Im NOT sold on. They will load up against the run, we have to take advantage when those opportunities allow through the air. But our Oline have to give Case time...

I think its a more a defensive game with rusty offensives...lotta field goals.

we hold it together for awhile, but Eagles: 24 Skins: 16

I'm telling you all, Philly is going to be expecting the Skins of the last few years, and that ain't this team. Jonathan Allen leads the way with 2 sacks, and our D defines themselves as an elite unit.

Philly scores just 13 points on 2 long FG's and a late TD to keep the game close.

Our offense can't get out of it's own way though with 9 penalties, mainly false starts and 3 critical holding calls - 2 on Flowers and one on Reed. Our RB's find their groove early though and we have a combined rushing of over 180 yards, and win the game ugly

21-13

On rookies starting

Skins pull it out and the experts will be shocked, not me.

Skins could definitely steal this one, I like them to cover at the least

Don't see us winning this one, mainly because of our passing offense and Jay not being a great week 1 coach... but you never know.

I honestly won't be mad if we lose that game... "how can you say that??! It's a division game F Philly!!"... yeah obviously, but I just want this team to look competitive, and to feel good about the rest of the season and most importantly the future of this franchise.

i think the players will play hard. I think ultimately we will be out-coached on both sides of the ball, per the norm IMO. I think we might keep it close at times, but inevitably lose. I HOPE i am WRONG. to quote Jeffrey Lebowski - "I HATE the fuckin' Eagles man!"

[skinsfaninok]

The Eagles have a loaded roster with great coaching, they are winning the east if they stay healthy. We could beat them of course but it's likely not happening. We would have to play a near perfect game and when has that happened under Jay? Maybe the GB SNF Game that's it
