Vikes at Eagles... ALL ZIPPERS DOWN

[General_Failure]

Frankly, a first round bye is a welcome change, even after last year. I do not want to see another NFCCG loss.

Anyone else get the bad feeling they're going to get blown out again round 1 of the playoffs? I just see too many late season similarities from the coaching staff to think they'll change.

gb will blow them out...i think they will play the giants close but ultimately lose

Sub in Woodson for Winfield off the edge now, plus Matthews on the other side....then trying to keep up with Rodgers with Kurt Coleman spells big time blowout.

I still think they have the Giants number though as that win mind-farged the hell out of Eli and Coughlin.

This post would have meant something before last night.  Now it's drivel.  Yes, if they can lose at home to the Vikings, they are obviously a flawed team.  It's not a "bad feeling" or anything novel unless it's a little less obvious.  Now go eat a burrito.

Don't forget to sub out Adrian Peterson's 125 yards and sub in Brandon Jackson's 25 yards.

The Packers, Giants, and Eagles are all pretty much the same. Deeply flawed teams with some good core players and coaches. They've all had really questionable games. The Packers have a better defense, but I think a blowout loss is far from a sure thing or even likely. There's a reason they're still fighting to get into the playoffs.

The problem is the coaching staff could have gone one of two ways after the Giants game. One way would have been to game plan differently since every team in the league is using the same defensive game plan against the Eagles, way 2 would have been to adjust. They're not going to adjust as evidence by the Vikings game. Just like they didn't want to adjust after the end of the season loss to Dallas. Similarities galore.

Im not worried about their rushing game as you shouldn't either. They are a passing team that can expose flawed secondarys, especially the deep pass such as the eagles right now. In case you missed it, Kurt Coleman and Lindley are starting. If you're happy about Jennings going up against either of them then I give you credit. Not to mention this is a changed defense right now compared to when they played that first game of the season. I dont like the way Green Bay can continuously spread this defense 4 or 5 wide and use the short dumps and intermediate routes across the field. That equation doesnt work well for the multiple 7th rd talents on this eagles roster.

blowout might be a bit strong because  the eagles can score with the packers if vick is on....but a gb easy win (if not blowout) is somewhere btwn very possible and likely

the eagles have played exactly eight good minutes of football in the last two games...they didnt play particularly well against dallas and were losing to houston at home in the fourth quarter...hopefully this 10 day 'break' will allow them to get some shtein straight on both sides of the ball

and swapping peterson for jackson is meaningless...the eagles have shut down almost every running back they have faced and still have been bludgeoned thru the air...shtein they gave up a thousand pts in the second half to friggin kerry collins and they shut out chris johnson that game...teams dont need to run to beat the eagles

^yeah they've gone downward steady and fast which is why I see them getting blown out. There's no doubt offensively they can hang with GB, but I see the coaching staff not adjusting and I see GB using the same gameplan Chi/NY/Minn did. Like I said earlier it would be great if we had coaches who could make changes but these knuckleheads will stick with their 40 yard passing plays while Clay Matthews tee's off on Vick.

Joe Webb fined $5000 for a facemask during the game.  Ha.

It's all well & good to suggest they should have changed the plan, but on defense they just don't have the players to do so.   On offense they should have rammed the ball down their throats but we all know that's a farging pipedream.

Running the ball=scoring less. The only reason our running game looks good on paper is because we pass so much. Our offensive line is awful, I'd rather at least go down slinging.

[smeags]

it not about running it 25-30 times. its about running the ball when you should. the way the vikes were coming at vick the draw would've been an almost guaranteed 6points.

Ignore.

Listen, you can cry all you want about running the ball and think that makes you smart because that's what the oldheads have always said, but you win by passing in the nfl.  Our offensive line can't run block or pass block, but at least we have the biggest athletic freak in the history of the QB position who can maybe negate some of that. 

I'm confused by the constant 5 and 7 step drop backs with almost no screens or hot routes, but passing the ball is definitely the way to go.
