high of 70? what the farg i was excited for some football weather finally.

osweiller starting

free win

unless denver has quit
this game has 13-10 written all over it and could go either way
wentz is a better qb obviously than osweiler but they each have close to the same chance of putting up bad numbers sunday

eagle offense last week was not good and now they play the best defense they have faced all year and the other two kc and carolina they struggled against with jason peters

youre over thinking it and leaning negative which is as well know by now kind of your thing

its brock osweiller on the road against a good team with a good qb and a good defense. im not saying its going to be 35-0 but the eagles arent losing.

Denver's O line is horrible, maybe the worst in the league...and Osweiler was cast off by the Browns.

Their D is still top 3 and play with the intensity of a team trying to make the playoffs. Eagles need to be careful with their play calling with the players coming off the edge and a solid secondary. I expect to see a lot of two TE sets.

They weren't, but I'm sure Schwartz wasn't up late at night thinking of ways to stop that vaunted offense. They just came off two big wins in prime time. You could tell the team was sleep walking through the niners game. Those games happen. I'm not expecting a big win, it's a non conference game and right before the bye.

Vegas has the Broncos getting 7.5. This is the first time since 2011 they've been more than a td underdog. To me that's a Broncos line all day long. So that's my biggest concern.

and you are a homer of romey/pg type proportions if you think denver has no chance

its the eagles offense without jason peters against a great defense.....the eagles defense is really good but if you dont think denver has a chance this game then you dont know football...anytime its close and low scoring something can happen that would allow either team to win...eagles should win but denver has a decent albeit not great chance to pull an upset

the real question is have they quit or is this their last hurrah to stay in it and do they play really desperate

Denver's O line is horrible

eagles stinks without peters....really the line with peters this year has been kinda overrated...not all their fault as doug has not shown an ability yet to scheme for blitzes...but combine these things and youll see wentz has been under a lot of pressure...

now hes been amazing at getting out of it and especially converting on 3rd downs but this has artificially inflated their production....now with peters out and just simple natural regression in a 3rd down conversion rate that no one could sustain (were 4-14 last week) and i expect to see very few pts this week....and once you get into a game like that all it takes is a crucial turnover or a special teams play to get upset

its just as fair to say that wentz can make a play or two that osweiler cant that can win the game but in general anyone who thinks denver has zero chance is brain dead

[Eagles_Legendz]

This game feels like 20-10 to me.  Eagles in control all game and win comfortably but never really pull away.

[Rome]

IFFY is setting his O/U at 23 points. 

Who's in on that?

Eagles O line was above average with Peters, without him it's average. I agree with pass protection being poor this season...run blocking hasn't been bad. I'd still rank the Eagles O line top 15.

Denvers O line is bottom 5. There's a big drop. I'm not one to say the Eagles can't lose this game because any given sunday, non conference game, before the bye, they can't win every game, Denvers D is scarey etc.

Like I said in my original post, I see a low scoring sloppy game. Especially if it rains again.

If this game was in Denver I'd say definite loss. Denver's OL is s disgrace. I see another close sloppy game.
