I keep hearing and seeing this about Foles but he won't be that much different. Outside of the Oakland game, Foles has been that great. He's had 1 game over 400 yards passing and that was the loss to Minnesota where he was throwing because they fell behind and in garbage time. You and others continue to overhype Foles. He has improved but I haven't seen enough to think he was be drastically different come Sunday night. McCoy is what makes that team go. If McCoy is ineffective I'll definitely take my chances with Foles trying to beat us.
well thats my headache with stat people as well, not saying you, do the stats back up that he has gotten better? sure, do they tell the story of why, no. Here is where i see the point where Foles can be more of a edge for the Eagles. When we first played them, we got gifts because he missed some open WR's. Is he going to miss them all again this game? Most likely not, so one or two more completions is enough for him to win the game, because yes, McCoy will have a good day, we probably wont have an aswer for him, but more to the point, they have an anwer for all our weapons.
Am i going to be completely right? no, am i close? yes, Miles has not really stepped up all season. I m not seeing what everyone saw or what they saw with T williams, and i know the eagles will look at our offense and know what to do where im not as confident our defense will look at their offense and say "we can handle this". We have made way to many bad qbs look like pro bowlers. We have a hard time getting opposing offenses off the field. And the one area i thought would be really good, Special teams, has been but i dont know if we can use that enough to say "we can use this weapon to keep it competitive". Im just afraid the eagles will have an answer for what we start to throw at them, and if that works, i have more confidence that Garrett will stop using it.
I just dont know if Kiffen has it in him to use our guys as they are needed, ie moving guys around. nor enough to use his defense to give confusing looks to the eagles and rattle Foles. im afriad the eagles will know to go after Orton but we'll sit there and concentrate on McCoy instead of rattling Foles.
