Eagles vs Bears Game Thread

I suspect that rule will be addressed in off season and every coach should beat in guys head that any ball on the ground should be pounced in

Like I said though; they blew the whistle so soon, I don't think anyone had time to pounce on it anyway. I could be mistaken.

That's what makes it asinine. What they're saying is if an Eagles player casually picked up the ball after the whistle had blown, they would have been able to rule it a catch, fumble and Eagle recovery. Never mind the fact that there's no way to know who may have been fighting for the ball if the whistle hasn't blown.

Whoever wrote that specific replay rule is an idiot. Either they change it, or you're going to have everybody pouncing on dead balls every play. You can't encourage players to stay active after the whistle.

They said that? They would've given it up to whoever picked it up even after the whistle blew it dead???

And anyone thinking this Eagles team can beat the Saints in New Orleans is a fool too.

I must be a fool, because I said the Eagles would beat the Bears, then beat the Saints, then the Cowboys will host the NFC Championship game against the Superbowl Champs!!! It don't get any better than that!! That's what we should hope for. Why do you want us to have to go to the Saints so bad for?
And I believe we have a better chance beating the Rams in LA than we do the Saints at home. But for some weird reason I feel that the Eagles are going to beat the Saints. The saintsare not as good as y'all think. We'd more than likely beat them too.

Dallas was the only division winner to get a victory this weekend.

And the only home team to win - though that is basically what happens with the division winners, i.e., you play at home.

 

[tyke1doe]

True but he wasn’t exactly great today.

He’s going to have to be better next week.

That sounds like another starting quarterback I know.

The next task is the LA Rams. We beat them, we can think about the Saints or the Eagles.

It seems that the media wants to make the Eagles the Cinderella again of the Super Bowl. But only team that I can kind of see beating them is the Saints, even with Nick Foles.

 

[HoplessCowboysFan36]

Yea super likely they trade him to a division rival... I dont want him anyways.

 

[uvaballa]

Well the kick was tipped so maybe it wasn’t just a bad kick.

 

[Fwed]

No way they keep both of these guys. Thats like not cashing in on a lottery ticket.

What’s a franchised Foles worth in trade? That’s where this is going.

Just saw that.....Wow

I guess we can take Parkey off suicide watch now....

 

[lukin2006]

I'll take our D over the bears D, all day, every day. I'll take Dlaw over Mack as well. Where was the 100 million dollar man anyway? Did he play?

 

[Beast_from_East]

Y’all fools rooting for the eagles.

A lot of posters are terrified of playing Drew Brees in the Dome...………….that's why the rooting for Philly.

 

[lukin2006]

The coach of the Bears is worse than JG. The back was averaging 5 yards a carry at one point, and the Bears were using him sparingly and trusting that horrible QB trubisky.

That place is noisy, not sure if Dak could have handled that. LA sounds like a home game. But if we beat LA, we likely play in NO for the NFC Championship.

Agreed...………..The Coliseum is more like a Bowl game atmosphere anyways and is very open and spacious...……...very little crowd noise to have to deal with.

What a game. Next week is gonna be tough **, it will take a miracle to get a W in that dome. I expect an L but it's been a solid season even making it this far with the injuries.

 

[C42]

The main flaw I see with the eagles, is they dont have a good power RB, they lost blount, and ajay , and have not
replaced them .
Sproles is too small and old, and smallwood is a bkup.
If I were eagles HC, I would sign a better RB now for the NO game.
Otherwise the no run game is going to get them beat.

Josh Adams is that power RB for us. I'm surprised we barely used him today but I don't think he woulda done much against this defense.

The Saints def is also great against the run. Idk if Adams is the best option against them either.

 

[Chrispierce]

I can’t believe Chi lost it. Foles man...he’s something else,just always winning games he has no business winning.
