That is the last challenging game the Eagles have before they play us on Thanksgiving Day so to see them beat a GB team with Rodgers would scare the hell out of me. ....

I will be very scared and need Aaron Rodgers to cool them down lol

In my opinion , Eagles have a undersized fast defense , the way to beat them is beat up in the front using OL and run the ball, but GB is not that kind of offense, another thing is they frustrated panthers with dropping 8 in coverage and rushing 3 and getting to QB at times, well I think Rodgers will get rid of the ball and GB has better receivers and so they will score, if Eagles offense can't keep up it will be over fast.

if we get them demoralized and beaten up for turkey game it will be easy , let's wait and watch

This times a million!

Those guys are fast and we've handled their front 7 well. Cole is typically quiet against Smith.

If we get our line to the second level and put some hits on their LB corp we will take their will and erase any hope they have.

On defense we need to press and be aggressive.

Even if they beat the Packers, we'll still be in position to put losses 3 and 4 on them, while keeping our losses at 3, and gaining the first tiebreaker in the process. Who knows, we may have to beat them 3 times like we did a few years ago.:)

While i'd prefer to see the Eagles lose....we are in position to control our own destiny.

I won't think much on the Eagles schedule.

I'd be cause for concern, no doubt. Just like I'm sure the rest of the division was concerned after we beat Seattle in Seattle.

A win against Green Bay in Lambeau would be an impressive feat for the Eagles. I'm concerned with them regardless...I think that we can beat them but I don't think the gap between the teams is as wide as some people here seem to think.

Id be very concerned I think the pack is the best nfc team and I feel as if the eagles are a more rounded team than dallas is.

I would be a little concerned from the aspect that we are still one game behind them.

That dam Commander game is going to be an albatross around our neck all year.

We still play them twice. If we lose those I will be 'worried.'

That being said I don't have any expectations for this team other than they go out and play hard. Everything else will work itself out.

I guess I will be first to say it...I am concerned. I don't think there is group of players who are playing harder than Eagles. They certainly don't have the most talent but enough talent and probably best HC in football. Everyone keeps waiting for other shoe to drop with Chip Kelly but it just doesn't happen. He comes in his first year and makes playoffs. In his second year he almost has best record in NFL. I think he is modern day Jimmy Johnson. I don't have access to ESPN insider but they just released their projections for 6 teams who get into playoffs and Dallas isn't one of them. For that to happen Dallas would need to get swept by Eagles and I think it's a real possibility. The Eagles will throw what Washington did at Romo (twice) and once on 4 days rest. I hope I am dead wrong on this and Murray goes for 200 yards in both games but I have seen enough to know when dynamic coach has entered the fray.

If they beat the packers then that means we HAVE to win both games

All I care about it how they match up with us. It'd be great if they lose another game or two outside of our match ups, to give us some extra breathing room that we might well need, but I think the NFCE comes down to those head:head matchups, either way.

I also think one of the Cowboys or the Eagles teams ends up handling the other more easily than we're expecting right now. I'm not sure it's going to work out in our favor, I just think the teams are so different that one of them is going to have a schematic advantage over the other.

As a Cowboys fan, seeing the Eagles win some games they really shouldn't makes me nervous, as that usually comes back to help you in the division when it's all said and done.

If I were an Eagles fan, I'd be concerned about their team winning games on big plays from special teams when their offense has been sluggish. The Bears used to ride STs into the playoffs from time to time, but it's hard to rely on big plays like that because if and when they don't come, the clock strikes midnight and you turn back into a pumpkin on the spot. If that happens in the match ups with Dallas, and we've got that big, mobile OL to push them around with and control the ball game, they could be in some trouble.

I just hope the coaches work on beating a 3-4 blitzing defense over the bye.

All the games we lost this year were against the 3-4 defenses. Granted Weeden sucked hard against AZ and Romo against SF, but our receivers were not getting open quickly when we played Washington and AZ.

LOL best coach in football? I think your overreaching especially with a team that has never won the Super Bowl.

I think we will beat them twice or split. They are a good team but to say Kelly is a modern day jimmy is kinda silly. We'll see what happens on thanksgiving.

How can anyone use ESPN projections at this point? What did they project before the season? Bet it wasn't 7 wins.

I'm not concerned about anyone the Eagles beat except the Cowboys. Our guys have the ability to handle the Eagles.
