Pick your poison, really. If they stack the box Steve Smith goes ape shtein. There's no winning this game.

Don't remind me. I can hope that since Sheldon/Lito are small and fast too, maybe they can contain Steve Smith.



Right.

[MadMarchHare]

Yeah, but you're merely a contrarian.

[ice grillin you]

I don't think they'll get torched by Washington, but we know you have a special affinity for them...

Anyway I think they'll win the next two, get in the playoff hunt, get our hopes up, and then lose out.

i dont mean the skins will necessarily blow them out...i mean they are going down in all three of those road games...fact

im not down with that psychic and astrology shtein

i prefer....

"How To Be Right....ALL The Time"

i could write the foreward for that johnson

[Feva]

Right... right...

I don't necessarily disagree with you... I just don't know if I'd call it "fact" yet.  If we lose the Skins game (which is the only one I think we have a shot at)... then I totally agree.

[ice grillin you]

before the season i felt as tho they would have trouble winning those three games...so after what has transpired thus far you can see where my strong feelings on the matter are coming from

We're ranked 28th in the league against the run (those numbers mean shtein, we're the worst) and 4th against the pass. You would think JJ would put 8 men in the box vs. the Panthers. You would think.

I don't think the Eagles are that great against the pass, either.

I think it more has to do with the Eagles getting so badly torched on the ground that many teams aren't really putting up too many passing attempts. I mean Manning had 20 attempts. That has to be way below his average.

But, when you run the ball so effectively you gain a ton of yards and keep the clock moving, effectively shortening the game and not allowing for many passes.

Moreover, the special teams has been horrible in putting teams back deep in their own territory. A lot of teams as of late had a pretty short field to work with and with a short field and an effective run game any team can put up a ton of points and keep the clock moving as well.

If a team really wanted to pass on the Eagles, I think they can. Remember, earlier on this year we were complaining on how bad the secondary was getting torched. I don't think they really got any better, it's just that they haven't been exposed as of late.

I hate to say it, because I never thought it would happen, but I agree with IGY on this one.  I like the Eagles on Monday Night.

[Eaglez]

The only reason anyone likes the Eagles is because the Panthers lost to the taterskins last week.

If Carolina can run the ball effectively, which it seems like they can on this Eagles D, and the Carolina D plays to their potential, I don't think the Eagles will win.

It will probably be a good game, and maybe the Eagles will have a chance to win it. We'll see; but I'm not exactly confident in their ability to win games right now. I guess one can say that 'they're at home' and will therefore play better, but some of the worst games they played this year have been at the Linc. The Eagles have been horrible at defending the homefield. In fact, they arguably played their best on the road.

[Rome]

Smith & Delhomo are going to have a field day on that miserable excuse of a defense.

Panthers 38

Eagles 17
