Eagles off the bye, against the team they never beat...something's gotta give!

Patterson starting at corner over Hobbs.

even with the colts on a short week and the Eagles off the bye, i have no confidence they'll win this game.

[General_Failure]

Good to see Hobbs get benched, but I don't think it'll matter much this week.

[SD]

Call me overly optimistic but I think the Eagles win this game. Indy isn't the Indy of old, they're banged up.

[ice grillin you]

yeah i think the injuries are a much bigger deal than the short week for the colts bye week for the eagles

also the colts defense is not good

not saying the eagles are going to win yet but i feel much better about this game than in years past

[Eagles_Legendz]

Agreed.

Colts without Clark/Addai/Collie helps. 

[SunMo]

i would feel good about it until i think about Reggie Wayne lining up on the left side of the formation and Asante not being able to follow, because you know, he only plays one side.

Reggie Wayne on Dimitri Patterson?  ouch.

Robert Mathis and Dwight Freeny against Justice and Peters?  ouch.

"I didn't become talented overnight," Patterson said, "I came in as a talented player and I've just been a guy who's been patiently waiting for an opportunity."

Get ready for this guy to get TORCHED by Pierre Garcon.

[Tomahawk]

No shtein

You never became talented, Patterson. You're getting an opportunity because of front office blunders

[phillycrew]

Lindley can't come along fast enough.

[Rome]

this is exactly the sort of game the eagles should get flattened in.

so look for a huge win, say 33-17.

when/if patterson is on wayne (i cant imagine the eagles wont adjust after the britt debacle) he will have a safety over the top of him the entire game....wayne will still get his but unless nate allen melts down again i have to believe waynes big plays will be limited

i think the bigger concern as ff said is garcon or whoever else is on patterson

mathis and freeney combined only have two more sacks than killa....i still dont like the matchup in the least but they havent terrorized qb's like in the past.....no doubt this could be a bust out game for them but i am not petrified like i would be most years.....altho i might feel like this because no matter who the eagles are playing the line is a huge concern...so being an even bigger concern doesnt resonate as much.....plus you have the vick factor

Kerry Collins and Kenny Britt lit up this secondary. It's either we can't stop the run or the pass. Either way Manning can carve any defense regardless who is receiving. Our only hope is Vick being able to create when he is running for his life. If he is due for a bad game it is this one since he could be rusty coming off the injury. I don't see how they win this game. By week or not, this team needs to prove they won't lie down like they did against the Titans. That was pathetic. The team is bi-polar as all hell and I'll always side with them losing when they face a much better team/coach. Peyton is a master at last minute drives and Reid is about the dumbest coach in the league when it comes to last minutes in games. I hope they prove me wrong!

Birds have not beaten the Colts since 1993.  Your quarterback?  Walter Andrew "Bubby" Brister.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Colts always kick their asses.

Hey, Brandon Graham said he won't be moving down as much. So we have a change at RCB and Graham staying at DE. Movin' on up?

BTW - Eagles said Hobbs was injured and missed today to go to the doctor.

[Munson]

Vick >>>>>>>>>>>>> Freeney/Mathis
