Bears @ Eagles thread

I think if we can get Lee and Claiborne back that will be huge for our defense.

I agree with Lee but how would Claiborne help us? He's terrible.

Lots and lots of Demarco Murray next week.

Like that's gonna happen...

Over on Cowboys/Eagles may be 100

 

[ScipioCowboy]

Back in the early 90s when the Eagles had an awesome front line, Jimmy never got a handle on their pass rush. As good as the Cowboys line was, it still struggled in pass protection against the Eagles. Consequently, Jimmy fed the running game, and Emmit had some of his best games against the Eagles.

Garrett might consider taking a page from Jimmy's playbook--not to stifle the Eagles pass rush but to keep their offense off the field.

People were saying that the last time we played, too.

They might be able to rest the starters in the 2nd half.

Just don't know how fans can watch Foles and not be on board with the Cowboys taking a flier on a QB in every draft until we find the right guy.

Think the Eagles and their fans would feel like their arrow is pointing up with an over-the-hill Mike Vick (and no Foles) in charge?

IMO, better to pick a QB too early than too late.

I wouldn't take too much from that game. That was Foles's 2nd start under Chip Kelly's offense. He had no chemistry and looked awful.

Looking back on that draft class....you get the better guys in the late rounds imo.

1. Andrew Luck
2. RG3rdstring
8. Ryan Tannehil
22. Brandon Weeden
57. Brock Osweiler
75. Russell Wilson
88. Nick Foles
102. Kirk Cousins

No chance. Garrett will try to match point for point. Murray might as well not show up.

Agree. Emmitt had a 200 yd against them in the rain

 

[mahoneybill]

Gotta be a downer seeing the eagles blowing out a team that made dallas look like they should be playing in college

Agree, but also Vikes took it to Eagles much more easily than us, and we came through and beat them.

Such is todays NFL. Cards take Seahawks today, so until the final gun goes off it anybodies opportunity for a W.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

Nick Foles looks like the guy from all those 1970s horror movies who gets impaled to a wall by Michael Myers or some other faceless killer.

Any Given Sunday. NFL is so unpredictable.

Doesn't matter when he's taken, just get a good one!

 

[mldardy]

we havent faced a defense like that at home..just look how they are shutting down the bears offense that never punted vs the cowboys

The Eagles defense LOL? The defense that almost gave up 50 to an Adrian Peterson less Vikings team. Yeah that is a defense to definitely be feared.

The previous 6 weeks before that they held every single opponent to to 21 points or less. They were playing very good football.

Good for them. They still aren't a good defense.

 

[DEMARC0MURRAY29]

ok but to discount them for one bad game against the Vikes is stupid. They have a very capable of D, much better than ours.

No to not discount them because of that Vikings game is stupid. The Eagles defense is not good. I don't care how you slice it.

And lol at giving them credit for shutting down Oakland, Scott Tolzien and the Packers, the Lions in the snow, the Skins as some of the teams you mentioned. That is what you are going with.
