Sunday @ 430
is that definite
i dont get how nbc passes on vick green bay
Definite. I hate it. Wanted 830 sat night.
Why does NBC get to pick whatever game it wants? I find it hard to believe FOX and CBS would be okay with that
SAT 4:30 = Saints @ NFC West winner
SAT 8:00 = Jets @ Colts
SUN 1:00 = Ravens @ Chiefs
SUN 4:30 = Packers @ Eagles
Sunday game, nice! :yay

nbc gets the 1st and 4th choices....shocking that they got stuck with saints and the nfc west
guess they wanted the new york market over vick

yeah so did i
NBC doesn't actually pick but the NFL tries to give them the strongest ratings draw for the Saturday night game since NBC doesn't get any other playoff games. Then they also get the weaker draw in the other conference for Saturday afternoon.
Also the Eagles have already been on NBC 4 times this season. I imagine FOX would be pretty pissed about losing 5 Eagles games PLUS being forced to carry that NFC West crap as a consolation.
nbc does pick...they get first and last choice
NBC wanted the AFC CG rematch, NY market and Manning
btw the Eagles/Bears divisional game will be Sunday 1PM if THEY win
Birds open as a 2.5-pt favorite, O/U 46.5

partly this
nbc gets 1st and last pick....but the nfl acts as the mediator in the picking. nbc "stole" the eagles/cowboys last year plus "stole" the eagles 4 times this year as you said...plus they are launching some comedy or something on sunday night and want the best possible lead in for it. fox put its foot down and complained and got their way. plus now cbs gets the 430 sunday divisional game which will probably be steelers/colts...and holla at yo boi thatll be a massive number.
since no/nfc west = bal/kc in terms of a draw the 400 is a wash. that leaves gb/phi and nyj/manning....with probably the eagles being a little bit better but its not really big enough for nbc to whine and complain. they get a really good game as it is.
so the minnesota choke cost the birds a bye since the bears played all out for the full game today

Yep. Pissed about that but at the same time I don't think Vick could've taken another week of being hit left and right going into the playoffs.
the one thing that the eagles have going for them is in a lot of minds they are already expected to lose this game--favored or not.
9/10 the opposite usually occurs with this town, so they actually might have a good shot here.

something that hasnt gotten a lot of attention because of the focus being on the secondary is the eagles complete lack of a pass rush lately...greg jennings is going to go wild in this game with all the time hes gonna have to run around the field
That's not a concern anymore, Teo had a sack today.

Not just with the front four. The blitzes have been ineffective as well.
a simple seam route by Jennings ought to do it with Kurt Patterson covering him.

i said this to my seat mates at the game tuesday...it was so sickening seeing free vikings running at vick all game and blitzing eagles being picked up everytime
Yep. It's become more apparent in recent weeks but doesn't seem to matter how many the Eagles send, either the players or McDermott are doing a zesty job camouflaging it because they are all getting picked up.

You really have nothing on the line though with your petty mickey mouse salary. But just going by your betting on GB, I'm going to take the Eagles and I'm going to cash in big. Looking to continue my big winning ways as the betting season transitions from 2010.

Offense needs to show a new face next week. If they think they will have time to set up the big play on Clay and the Pack D, Reid should be canned right after the game. They will be sending the house at Vick early and often just like every team we've played since Chicago. All I have to say is they better establish a run game, utilize the screen and call quick passing plays. Count DJack to be double teamed and Maclin to be the main target. McCoy and Harrison all day please, anything to keep the ball out of Rodgers hands...and we pray :evil

The Packers are overrated on offense. Driver is a role player, they have no running back, and their line is only maybe a slight notch ahead of the Eagles' swiss cheese line. That said Rodgers is legit so they are still dangerous - not to mention the Eagles are not particularly good on defense, to say the least.
On the other side of the ball, no defense can stop this offense from scoring 27-30 points... but as we learned against Minnesota, this offense can stop itself from scoring a lot. That said I see the Eagles putting up about that.
So, will it come down to special teams? Maybe. The good news is that an opposing kicker finally missed a long FG against the team yesterday, so there is hope.
I don't see why anyone is afraid of the Packers. I want no part of the Saints.
Drew Brees may be dead by next week due to his head exploding in anticipation of throwing for 500+ yards and 8 TDs against the Seahawks.
Packers lack of run game means the Eagles should be able to focus on getting pressure on Rodgers and double teaming WR's if needed.
which can only mean Brandon Jackson will rush for 200 yards.

not that the eagles are amazing but the nfc is absolutely wide open to the 5 teams in the playoffs
Nothing says fraud quite like defending champs.
terrific....they were great in 2009
but its a new year and this time around they are losing at home to cleveland and tampa bay
again the eagles arent ringing me with confidence but ill take my chances with them outdoors in the cold over chicago or green bay

The Packers defense is second in the NFL in Points Allowed, Interceptions, and Sacks.
Their offense is 10th in Points Scored and 8th in 3rd Down Conversion %
I don't want any part of either team. Neither run the ball and the Eagles can't stop anybody from passing on them.
I agree with MDS on this there is a 5 team race in the NFC any one of those teams could make it to the SB and no one would be surprised.
The Saints at least want to run the ball more. If they start off the playoffs with three healthy RBs (Thomas, Ivory, Bush), I think you'll see a lot more rushing than what they were doing late in the season.
McCarthy doesn't really give a shtein about rushing. In fact, on game day he's basically indistinguishable from Reid, retarded clock management and all.
Unless the eagles dramatically improve on defense they have no shot.

I would be shocked if they made it, but with the weapons they have on offense they certainly have a shot.

its really not that far fetched
1. the eagles already killed atlanta, who played like a bunch of Hoydas in their 1 big game this year @ home against NO
2. the eagles could have would have should have beaten the bears, whose quarterback is jay cutler
3. the seahawks suck
4. the saints have been riding their superbowl victory all year long...so clearly not the same team and there is no absolutely no reason to think theyll get it back. since week 12: barely got by dallas, barely got by cinci, solid if unspectacular home win against the rams, loss @ bal, gift win @ atl, loss at home to tampa. what about this team scares anyone other than what they did 1 year ago?
5. mike vick nearly beat the packers by himself....and this team could barely squeak past a half interested bears team with their season on the line at home.
its wide open...wide open. almost a toss up in every game outside of NO/Sea. not that i wont lay down big money on it or anything.
It's the Eagles. End of discussion.
the saints won the superbowl last year and they have an even worse history than the eagles
dont be rome
Are you seriously comparing the 2010 Eagles to the 2009 Saints?
No more clicking on Show me the post. for me.
The Packers defense scares me. You know they were taking notes watching Jarrad Allen and Ray Edwards coming off the edges for Minny. Not to mention DeMarcus Ware last week.

no, sweetie, im simply saying that the "they're the eagles, they'll find a way to lose" defense mechanism philly fans love to use doesnt really ever apply
I don't see this line stopping Matthews. It'll be interesting to see if Vick can elude him.
It'll be interesting to see Vick put his money where his mouth is.
Let's see if he was right, and if he starts and finishes the game they win.
This Clay Matthews hype and trembling at the knees of the guy is getting out of hand from the media and in here.
If you game plan for him (which they didnt the first game and with Kolb at qb), overload the right side he can be contained. Yeah hes very disruptive, but lets not act like this guy had 22.5 sacks on the year. Better yet he only has 2 sacks in the past 6 games.
Remember all those sacks Ware had the first game?
No one is trembling at the knees, but the guy is one of the best defensive players in the game, if not the best at his position in only his second year. You say he's had only two sacks the last six games, but he's still been making plays all over the field. Also, the last three games have been against the Giants, Pats and Bears. All those teams have better a better o-line than that Eagles. You can try to game plan for him, it remains to be seen if it works. And it's not as simple as overloading the right side when you're talking the Eagles vs the Packers. The Eagles can't stop any team one on one straight up.
Reid has never and will never game plan for a single player. Even in game when a player is getting destroyed (See Demarcus Ware yesterday) he doesn't adjust. Plan on seeing Matthews come from Vicks right and Woodson coming from his left. GB is going to contain the ends like every team has done, occassionally bring pressure up the middle, and drop their safeties back. Reid will still have Vick dropping back 7 yards, running for his life and throwing it 40 yards downfield. Monday he'll say "this ones on me" and everyone here will be calling for his head.
I trust Peters. He was one of the better LT's this year.
Justice is probably going to get molly wopped though, especially since he's not at 100%
Most of us are calling for his head now, knowing where this is going.

2. the eagles could have would have should have beaten the bears, whose quarterback is jay cutler - they eagles got worked by the bears...why does atlantas loss to the eagles favor the birds and the eagles loss to the bears also favor the eagles
3. the seahawks suck - irrelevant since they will be eliminated this week
4. the saints have been riding their superbowl victory all year long...so clearly not the same team and there is no absolutely no reason to think theyll get it back. since week 12: barely got by dallas, barely got by cinci, solid if unspectacular home win against the rams, loss @ bal, gift win @ atl, loss at home to tampa. what about this team scares anyone other than what they did 1 year ago? - lol...so atlanta sucks cause the saints got a gift win in the georgia dome but the saints also suck cause they won at the georgia dome?
5. mike vick nearly beat the packers by himself....and this team could barely squeak past a half interested bears team with their season on the line at home. - and mike vick lost to the vikings in a super important game a week ago
this is an all time homer post...its destroys anything j has ever written....if you wanna say the eagles have as good a chance as any team in the nfc you would still be wrong but it would have been whatever...however the amount of just awful meaningless shtein you put out there combined with as far fetched tranisitive property rules ive ever seen makes this spadaro like
I don't think even Spadaro would go that far.

The best running QB ever is sacked 1 out of every 6 times he drops back. Vick may be mobile but he's always taken a lot of sacks. Without necessarily comparing the Eagles to the Bears, both teams have zesty offensive lines.
Matthews lines up on the defensive left side; just seems like he's all over the field
If the Eagles didn't have Vick they would have at least 20 more sacks against.
Maybe...another QB probably throws the ball away instead of trying to run with it and getting tripped up for a half yard loss.
Vick has almost competely reverted back to his Hotlanta form. If the first read isn't open, he's running. Seems like he lost his new found accuracy too

no, most qb's blind side is from the right not left--unless you think the majority of the leagues qb's are left handed
The Bears oline is awful, though Mike Martz has finally adjusted his strategy.....something AR and Morningwood refuse to do. The Bears have ran a lot of max protect.

Once upon a time, Randall Cunningham had the record for most sacks taken in a season and prior to Vick, was also labelled the greatest running qb ever. Vick makes a lot of big plays with his legs but he also gives up yards taking sacks by trying to extend a play when less mobile QB's would have likely thrown the ball away.
I'm not knocking Vick, its just something that comes with the territory of being a mobile qb. It's there with pretty much every running qb to ever play the game.
randall took tons of sacks cause he couldnt read a defense and truly had one of the worst lines in the history of the nfl in front of him
theres plenty of mobile and or running qb's who didnt set sack records because they had good olines blocking for them
bottom line is vick has saved waaaaay more sacks this year than he has caused...if kolb or cutler for that matter was the eagles qb they would have lead the nfl no question
Yeah I don't see how anyone can say he takes more sacks because he is a mobile QB. Its mostly due to the oline and the play calling. And reverted back to the QB he was in Atlanta is laughable. Defenses have been throwing everything at the guy and Reid hasn't adjusted anything, what do you expect! Did you honestly think he wouldn't have a bad game this season? Brady, Manning, the best in the game would be doing worse with their lack of mobility. The only thing different from years past is Vick is willing and able to run, unlike McNabb. Vick has almost single handedly put us in the playoffs due to his legs and arm. Don't knock the player, knock the idiotic coaches that put him in the positions to make bad plays.
Blaming Reid for Vick's midseason drop-off from unstoppable to simply pretty good is convenient but is also bullshtein. Vick is good at one thing when extra pressure comes: running away from it. He can definitely stand tall in the pocket or run a bootleg play action and pick apart the defense if he has time. But he has not been getting that time and is not making good decisions or throws. I blame Reid on the personnel side for not having addressed the OL in the off-season, but as a coach, you can only gameplan for the blitz to a certain degree. If the D sends 7 guys, and you keep 8 in to block, you have 2 receivers running patterns against 4 defenders. If it's 8 guys and 9 in to block, you have 1 receiver against 3 defenders. So putting extra blockers back there isn't exactly a recipe for awesome. Vick has to be more accurate and decisive on his short and intermediate reads.
I should note that even "back down to Earth" Vick is better at this than Donovan ever was.
these commericals on wip advertising tickets for sunday are as embarrassing as it gets.....how do the eagles not immediately sell out a playoff game
They held a chunk of tickets so that they could sell them with a VIP package for $300+ per.
no theres tickets all over the stadium avaiable
as far as i can see only singles but still its sad
Two problems:
1. By losing to Joe Webb and resting the starters in consecutive weeks, the bandwagon has emptied a little.
2. Watching a football game played outside in Philadelphia in January is better on TV than in person... and a lot cheaper.
other than the current state of economy none of those reasons pass the smell test and have never caused a playoff game in this city to not sell out right away
i guess tho that the economy could be that bad.....i wouldnt know
It's not. I, for one, am using my money to wager on the Packers instead of going to the game. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Maybe people just don't care as much as they used to.
possibly people just assume the game is sold out and didnt even try and buy and tickets
also people have become insanely lazy and would much prefer watching a game on their 50 inch plasma lcd hd tv with comfy couch, food and beer rather than shivering in the cold for 6 hours with crappy food and $9 beers

There is much more you can do, its just not about an extra blocker. The fact is I don't see them adjusting in games or until it's too late in the game. I don't know QB in the league who hasn't struggled when pressured, and behind this oline and under these plays being called, I'd challenge to see who can do better. You can't win big games by being predictable.

possibly people just assume the game is sold out and didnt even try and buy and tickets
also people have become insanely lazy and would much prefer watching a game on their 50 inch plasma lcd hd tv with comfy couch, food and beer rather than shivering in the cold for 6 hours with crappy food and $9 beers
the 9 dollar beers is the only thing that pisses me off. I end up spending a shteinton on booze in the game.
barely anyone eats linc stadium food....people eat awesome tailgate food or bring in a hoagie
who gives a farg about food, i can bring chips or whatever in. I cant bring booze in.

Limiting your alcohol consumption at an Eagles game when you're already hammered is next to impossible. I drop at least $40 on alcohol every game.
I haven't been to an Eagles game in person in what seems like forever, but I remember it being easy simply by wanting to watch the game and not wanting to stand in line. Hell, I usually just piss my pants instead of taking a bio break. More efficient.

Hah. Last year it was 6.75 for a beer poured into a cup....I think they bumped it up to 7.25 this year. Either way it's not worth my time because I make no money cause I'm too interested in the game to make any money. It'd be bearable if I could just hand out bottles to folks but the Eagles don't trust their fans....don't blame em either.
Weren't you working Ravens games or was that some other pathetic person?
I've only had pretzels & beer in that hell hole. farg lurie, banner, and the rest of the billionaire boys club who have the nerve to charge 12 bucks for a stale hoagie.
Also - I don't see how anyone who tailgates in C-6 can possibly be hungry walking in there. No farging way in hell.
I dont think I have ever eaten anything other than pretzel and peanuts in a stadium watching a football game. And that is just to soak up the beer.

Both. JET had the contract for Ravens, then got the Eagles contract last year, so we can do any home game of eitehr that we want. I made far much more money doing Ravens because we were club level, I didn't give a farg about the game, and we just gave them plastic bottles instead of wasting time pouring it out of a can and into a cup.

I'm usually drunk heading into the game and then eat about 6 hot dogs inside the stadium. Never drink inside though. Couldn't tell you the last time I bought a beer inside the Linc.
Away games on the other hand, totally different. I'm there to drink and be an ass. Except Nashville. I was being

It sucks watching highlights of the first game against GB then realizing the Eagles are not wearing the 60's uniforms this week. The midnight green has gone from adequate to an eye sore ever since that game (in my eyes, igy will be along shortly to tell us they've always been an eye sore). I'd be fine with them making them their regular uniforms.
youd be fine with it?....you should give up at least five years of your life for it
lol - the green ones they were wearing on opening day pale in comparison to the 70's & early 80's uni's.
the green didn't seem right to me.

Is this literally or hypothetically speaking?
NFLN is replaying that week 1 game tomorrow night
Suppose Matthews has a lights out game and sacks Vick 3 times. Suppose that helps neutralize the rest of the pass rush. I would like the odds for that. If that's the case, the Eagles will put up 40+. I think the defense can keep a very 1 dimensional GB offense to less than 32.
Oh the defense can hold them to under 7. It's Dimitri Patterson that could give up the other 24 points.

I have a bad feeling about this weekend. All of my anxiety is going to be taken out on poor, unsuspecting Miller Lite cans. And possibly the neighborhood children.
with the exception of j is there anyone that thinks the eagles are going to win
the defense is a disagrace and the savoir hasnt been the same since the taterskin game in the middle of november
The only way they win is by running the damn ball (http://espn.go.com/blog/nfceast/post/_/id/24051/will-andy-reid-endorse-handoffs-sunday), so go ahead and put a mortgage payment (or two) on the Packers.
i think they should and will win
The Packers? Me too
With everyone dead certain that the Eagles are going to lose this one, I can't help but think they'll manage to steal one this week just to get everyone's hopes up again.
i think they actually have less chance to win by running the ball...green bay is putting up at least 28 against the birds d...which means the eagles offense has to score with them and they arent going to do that by running...they need vick to be superman...i think a key number to look at after this game is over to tell whether the birds won or not (other than the final score) is the number of 20+ yard plays the birds have
one x factor tho could be the wind....it is shaping up to be a blustery day
GF is riding my sentiments exactly.
Colts/Giants gameplan coming back with double wing sets, mccoy and schmidt chipping the ends and corner blitzer on short routes/screens out of the backfield--- setting up time for the big play. Not to mention, 4.7 a clip is fantastic number for McCoy to feed on off this d front. Its going to happen.

I think the Eagles win this. The packers have just as many question marks going into this game as the birds.
Eagles beat the Packers
Eagles beat the Bears
Eagles lose to the Saints
The Saints are the only team I am not worried about in the NFC picture. The key to this game is countering the blitz with the right plays and running is key to it. Establish the quick passes, the run, you force the defense up then you take your shot deep. You don't go deep early and often. That shtein doesn't fly anymore, teams know what the Eagles do. STRATEGY! OMG!

so you think we'll see another reid nfccg gem ?
I'm actually thinking the opposite of conventional wisdom.
Not sure the Eagles are going to win, but I expect it to be relatively low scoring. 23-17 would be my guess, and I do think Reid is going to try to establish some sort of a run game. Yes, I'm sure I'm a fool for thinking that but I still believe it.
There is literally no chance that the Eagles hold the Packers to fewer than 20 points. The books have the O/U for Packers points at 21.5 and the over on that is probably better than the game O/U or the spread. Seriously, the Eagles defense is only good against the run, and the Packers are not a running team anyway. It's strength on weakness. Only hope the Birds have is to outscore the Packers and win the time of possession battle.
so the O/U is 21.5 and being 1.5 points under that is literally impossible. i see.
eagles win 35-17.
Reverse Freddie just doesn't have the same ring to it. But I applaud you for your blind faith in this abhorrent defense.

So vegas sets a line that looks odd to you and you think there is no way it hits? Vegas generally isn't in the business of giving away cash.
the vegas number for the pack is that low because it should be extremely windy...i still dont see any chance for an under there but thats why it is what it is
If Aaron Rodgers breaks his penis in the 1st quarter and/or the game is played in a blizzard, it's certainly possible. But the 21.5 screams "bet the under bet the under they can totally be held to 3 touchdowns or fewer!" which is a red flag regardless. Tack on that this is the same Eagle defense that hasn't held the opposition to fewer than 24 points in a meaningful game since November 21 and set records for red zone awfulness, and it doesn't exactly give me the warm fuzzies.
I think that the Eagles can absolutely win this game but not in low-scoring fashion.
enough with the spreads already. we get it - you like to gamble.
Well, this whole conversation started with Legendz admitting that his thinking was "against the conventional wisdom," so I guess we'll just leave it at that. This Eagles team does not seem like a team capable of winning a defensive struggle. But anything's possible. MDS might even get laid this weekend.

Yes because play calling and adjusting have absolutely nothing to do with his performance. You just keep dropping back 12 steps and calling play action pass when the defense is sending the house at you. You just keep doing that because thats what the Eagles do and everyone knows this.

That's easy to see on the surface. Below the surface I see the Eagles stubbornly sticking to their offensive game plan of dropping Vick back so he either has to take off or throw it 40 yards downfield, that and Rodgers picking apart their secondary. Every team that has contained Vick in the pocket by sealing of the edge, brought a little pressure up the middle at times, and drops their safeties back have contained the Eagles offense. Do you really have confidence that Reid is going to change his style of offense up?
The Eagles have played 8 minutes of good football in their last 3 games, so it's hard to trust that we'll see them dominate as I believe that they are capable of doing. But either way, I think the teams are as close to evenly matched as possible and am confused by anyone saying either team is the "better" of the two. But I hope you are right, as you often are.
The reason I'm not giving the Eagles a chance is mostly because of the defense, or lack of it
doesnt rogers have something like a 130 qb rating through the last seven games ? against much better defenses in several cases ?

im not as scared as i was earlier in the week because they are calling for 35 mph winds which could keep the game close to the point where vick can pull it out with his legs
but throw the weather out and terrible offensive line + terrible defense = substantial loss for the eagles
and theres not a chance the eagles are better than the packers...at best its even and probably more small advantage to gb....doesnt mean the birds cant win obviously but look at the eagles starters in this game...its embarrassing
i mean christ half their defense is made up of these guys..

rodgers was 3-3 on the road beat the jets and eagles and lost to the bears and falcons
While any loss to the Minnesota Webbs feels like a beatdown, it was only 24-14. The Eagles moved the ball on multiple occasions but made some key mistakes and looked lost on D. But Dallas completely dominated every phase of the game last year. Just very different.
Again, I would definitely lean Packers in this game, but anyone giving the Eagles little to no chance of winning is just trying to protect their emotions from taking a hit if they lose. The Eagles have the best offense they've ever had, and the Packers can't run the ball. While the Packers passing offense against the Eagle defense and the Packers blitz against the Eagle offense should prevent anyone from considering this game a lock for the Eagles, it is not enough to count the Eagles out by any stretch.
So, what I'm saying is that SD and Tomahawk have weepy vaginas.

59 qb rating for rodgers
he beat a good defense on the road...didnt turn the ball over did enough to win...i dont think that mnakes him a bad road qb even tho he didnt have a great game
that would be like me saying green bay will win because vick is a bad home qb since the minnesota defense beat him
looking bad in a loss at home vs the vikings is worse than looking bad in a road win vs the jets
eagles theoretically have an advantage playing at home as any team would but saying they have an advantage because rodgers is a bad road qb is a stretch
What about the advantage the Eagles have with the Packers starting two white linebackers?

While any loss to the Minnesota Webbs feels like a beatdown, it was only 24-14. The Eagles moved the ball on multiple occasions but made some key mistakes and looked lost on D. But Dallas completely dominated every phase of the game last year. Just very different.
Minnesota used the same defensive scheme other teams have been using. The problem is the Eagles coaches won't adjust. I can already see Woodson and Matthews coming off the edge and Hawk and sometimes Collins coming up the gut with the safeties dropped back deep.
To me we'll know first series from the offense and defense whether they'll win the game. If the D is flying around making plays from the get go and the offense takes what the defense gives them initially (setting the big play up, not totally relying on the big play) then the Eagles could win the game. I just see no consistency from the coaching staff to think they're smart enough to game plan for this game.
I'm not saying the Eagles will 100% lose this game. They can win, with players like Vick and Jackson they're a threat to beat every team. I still stick to my initial prediction which is:
Packers 34
Eagles 23
Quote from: FastFreddie on January 07, 2011, 10:54:43 AM
Again, I would definitely lean Packers in this game, but anyone giving the Eagles little to no chance of winning is just trying to protect their emotions from taking a hit if they lose. The Eagles have the best offense they've ever had, and the Packers can't run the ball. While the Packers passing offense against the Eagle defense and the Packers blitz against the Eagle offense should prevent anyone from considering this game a lock for the Eagles, it is not enough to count the Eagles out by any stretch.
So, what I'm saying is that SD and Tomahawk have weepy vaginas.
this. the game should be a close one and to me will come down to turnovers.
and yes, i know about SD's weepy vagina as he's all too willing to show his after a few drinks. 8)

the one difference is that they actually lost to minnesota and lost ugly....before that maybe andy was thinking it didnt matter what the defense was doing because in the end vick would make enough plays to win...now 11 days past since the minny game you gotta believe he is going to come up with some new offensive wrinkles

wow
If Vick gets any protection the Eagles win & fairly easy I think.
I wish I could agree, but the Packers haven't lost fairly easy all year. I think I read their biggest loss was by 4 pts.
I think this game has nail biter written all over it regardless of protection.
whoops. that's what i get for not having my glasses on.

There's double failure here
Quote from: Rome on January 07, 2011, 11:54:10 AM
If Vick gets any protection the Eagles win & fairly easy I think.
If the Eagles are going to stick with throwing the ball 20-40 yards down the field every other play then they need to max protect Vick and not send 5 receivers out thinking he's going to get rid of the ball. No one wants to admit it but Vick panics more than any QB in the league. It's not all his fault and sometimes it's a great thing when he gets a lane and takes off. But then there's times (I counted a bunch in the Minny game) when he doesn't let the pocket form because he doesn't have the confidence in his O-line. He's too used to having to do it all by himself at this point.
I find it hard that any fan who has followed them all season can sit back and say with confidence that they will beat the Packers easily. That's just ridiculous. I know the Eagles can beat them, it's just all the planets need to be aligned. They have shown nothing in the past 3 weeks to fill me with that confidence. The offense has been more one sided than it was earlier in the year and shows no signs of change. Defense is basically filled with 2nd stringers and is on the field more than off of it. If they pull off a win, I will be shocked, but not that surprised as they have done much more this year than was ever expected. Until then, I'm not getting my hopes up. GO EAGLES!

Get your pants out of a bunch... the Packers couldn't put up points last week against a Bears team that had nothing to play for. They have no run game and have been exploited by such powerhouses as the Miami Dolphins because of their one dimensional offense.
I can't believe after watching Vick all year that most of you don't think he'll run all over this Packers defense like he did in game one.

The Bears are a division rival and they have a bye this week. And lol at thinking the Eagles D is anywhere close the Bears.
Yet the Pack nearly beat the Patriots (easily the best team in NFL) without Rodgers playing in Foxboro.

The Bears were playing to keep the Packers out of the playoffs. If they were playing for nothing, the starters wouldn't have played the entire game. The Dolphins defense isn't bad at all

We both know that's bullshtein, I think this is a more likely scenario (from the hire Childress article):
QuoteThis is an ancient argument, but one we're obligated to make before kickoff on Sunday. The simplest and most effective way to address the most dire challenges facing the Eagles' offense in this game is to run the football. Hand the ball off to LeSean McCoy and Jerome Harrison enough and the Green Bay defense will not be nearly as disruptive. That will help the offensive line, which in turn will help free Michael Vick to make big plays.
Reid and Mornhinweg know this. It is evident from breaking down tape of the Packers. It was in their thinking as they put together a game plan early this week. It will be a priority as the team finishes its practice preparations Thursday and Friday.
And then the ball will be kicked off, the Fog of War will roll in, and the commitment to running the ball will vanish in the mist.

It's the NFL... the Eagles have just as a legit shot at the Super Bowl as any team in the NFC.... and they also have homefield advantage against the Packers.... relax and save your nervous tendencies for next weekend.
The Browns didn't make the playoffs and why would I be nervous about the Packers/Bears game
Holy farg...how about you clowns whine some more?!
Joe Webb and Minnesota were a couple weeks ago. zesty, awful loss. Buck up.
I hope they do commit to the run more, especially with giving Harrison 5-7 carries

is that whats its come down too?
another team was so zesty that the eagles have to be less horrible?
and i thought us haters were wussies
Eagles gonna sting they ass tomorrow.
Sad part about it is this wasnt an abberation. More like an abortion yes, but the Seahawks had those receivers covered all game forcing Brees to check to his 3rd or 4th read. I mean he was sacked once.
In all seriousness though, I can't wait for the Eagles to host the Seahawks in the NFCCG. Why? I don't know because I will certainly be disappointed when the Birds lose that game because they literally have no HFA

I think everyone already knew that on any given Sunday, any team in the NFL can beat any other team. <.500 teams aren't usually allowed in the playoffs not because it's impossible for them to win, but because they didn't do the work during the season to deserve getting into the tournament.

lol too much crack juice in the lot i see
more like too much homer juice all week
i told you it was going to be a toss up and come down to same random ass shtein
thats what happened
they redo that game eagles could win next time 24-21 or something
it came down to vick forcing the ball into riley farging cooper....what are you gonna do

its been established that you are an all time phillie homer but good lord eagles got equal footing with you....even if the above comment has some minimal truth to it its just a travesty that you would even think about typing it out after that loss...LOSER shtein
what am i supposed to do, not tell the truth?
it has nothing to do with being a homer...in fact i hate the coach, the coordinators, the owner, the colors, banner, roseman...how am i a homer again?
it was going to be a toss up game no matter how it came down...it was...1 play here 1 play there they win
still, and this goes without saying, thats not good enough. its not like hey lets get em next year itll all be ok.
when a loss like this happens no sane person thinks well if they played again the eagles might win....taterskin fans say that shtein....not eagles
saying that doesnt justify or rationalize anything, sweetie
it goes back to the game being a toss up...which it was.
now we can go on top of that and say if a b c and happened 10 months ago the game wouldnt have been a toss up. like andy getting an actual offense line, and not having ernie sims, moise foku and jamar chaney be your linebacking core
it wasnt a toss up....green bay controlled the game thruout....if they played again the eagles would probably get blown out...not 'maybe' win
Chaney can play.

nothing green bay did in that game impressed me. yes they did control the game but they werent remotely good enough to put the game away and very well could have lost if akers doesnt push a 35 yarder
green bay did nothing impressive cause they didnt have too...they knew they were the better team and basically toyed with the eagles....and lol @ trying to count two missed fg's....ill see your two fg misses and raise you a james jones dropped td
fair point...we could go round and round with the what ifs and maybes
eagles had far more mistakes than gb, thats what it essentially came down to. and its the same story over and over with andy and these playoff losses. so, really, what is the point?

GB made more mistakes (dropped balls, more turnovers). Aside from the 3rd quarter when the Eagles forced Rodgers to fumble and promptly scored a TD did you ever think to yourself "The Eagles are outplaying the Packers here they're just making too many mistakes"? If you say yes than I have to question if we were watching the same game.
If you like silver linings, here's one... The other CF is probably thrilled that the Packers beat the Eagles.
the other CF also noticed that a black QB won't win the Super Bowl again, and they're rooting against the Jets

but yea with these numbers i find it almost impossible to believe there will be a work stoppage. tv networks and advertisers, vegas, fantasy football people...too many people rely on the nfl and are just making disgusting amounts of money these days

Also most watched program on television since the 2010 Oscars. Holy shteinballs.
thats really not a big deal. in fact it was pretty much a lock even before the game
