Now Begins the Slide of the Eagles

[Toruk_Makto]

We have a better schedule, a better offense and a better QB.

If I was a betting man i'm laying my money on the Cowboys.

So you conveniently have them losing every single difficult game and winning only the games against rotten teams. I don't think it's going to be that easy.

Yes I do and there is nothing wrong with believing they will lose those games. They are based on logic and how the Eagles have been playing this year. In fact, they are lucking to have won some of these games this season. Nick Foles has not be the same since Jackson left their big play specialist Darren Sproles as a knee injury and they don't know when he can come back.

Thus this is a stiff test for the Eagles. They play Arizona which is a tough team to beat and I think they will lose. Then they have to go play the Texans which is a good defensive team which I penciled them in as a win but it won't be easy. I don't think they will beat Green Bay and their going to lose to us on Thanksgiving Day. They'll have the Seahawks at home which I also think they will lose.

Their schedule is brutal and doesn't get any easier until we go to Philly. Thus I see them losing more then they win.

You think they lose to the Panthers? Panthers are real bad.

I think panthers are still decent, eagles are over rated

Seattle at Philadelphia all the sudden looks winnable for the birds.

No one could be happier than me about the boys but Philly is a difficult matchup for us. Not making predictions one way or the other. Just saying I suspect a high scoring game; which may benefit them more since we run more.

Difficult match up? We handled they last year with a worse team. We are better this year but so are they. We will have to see when we play them what is going to happen.

Apart from Green Bay I don't think it's a hard schedule at all. Not sold on the Cards and Carolina are getting worse.

The Cards are good especially in Glendale. I think Zona wins that game Sunday.

They are a matchup problem for any team. They have a lot of speed. We will need Carter for this game along with Durant. They have speed. And Wilcox.

I'm not worried about the Eagles. They'll never win a Super Bowl. We know it. They know it. Everybody knows it. It's destiny.

They can't block punt return touchdown teams to death to the playoffs. They are soft and teams have already figured out ways to stop their offense.

Nevermind that they won't be able to stop our running game when we play, all we have to do in the grand scheme of things is just play our style of football and things will be good on our end.

Apart from the Chargers I don't think they have had an impressive win. Not counting the 9ers now.

There next 3 games are very winnable, especially the Panthers and Texans. Both of those teams are not that good. Their QB play is terrible. Cardinals are better but I still think Eagles are a better team. Then they have the Titans a few games after who are god awful as well. I guess I am not seeing a tough up and coming schedule until over a month down the line.

I am not as convinced as you are that we beat them twice. They are a good team. Despite many whom say otherwise. They have offensive weapons and will be better when they get some of their OL back. They seem they just find ways to win ball games.

Didn't they BEAT Seattle last year in Seattle? Don't underestimate the Cards. They are a tough team to beat.

1 game at a time Bumblebee

Why? We do not play the games...

Tired of seeing fans on forums say that, like them focusing on 1 game at a time actually matters/changes anything.

 

[BAZ]

Didn't they BEAT Seattle last year in Seattle? Don't underestimate the Cards. They are a tough team to beat.

I'm not counting victories from last year either.

 

[blindzebra]

I hate Philly, but they're not 5-1 because of luck. They have some good things going for them too. I still think we have the upper hand when we face them (Romo is 3-0 in last three games vs them, and that wasn't with this O-line and running game), but I expect them to win more than they lose in those tough matchups.

They have 7 return TDs and the refs gave them the Colts game. They are extremely lucky not to be 3-3 right now.

Cardinals are on top of their division over the Niners and Seahawks. I see the Eagles losing.
They will win against Panthers and the Texans but it won't be easy. Both those teams have good defenses that will keep them in check.
Then they will face Green Bay which I see them losing. After losing to the Cards and Green Bay they face us on Thanksgiving. I slate that as a lost for them. I think our offense will be able to sustain long drives against their defense.
They will face the Seahawks at home and I think they will lose that game. Despite the Seahawks faltering at this time, I believe their defense will be able to stop the Eagles.
Then will go there with even a lot of momentum in Philly and bury them for good.

Thats the scenario I see happening.

While the Cardinals are at the top of the West, I don't think they win just based on that. I still the Eagles are better than the Cardinals, as we are, too. They got destroyed by Denver. Now I hope the Eagles lose but I don't know.

And Seattle on the road is a complete 180 from when they play in Seattle. If we can go into Seattle and dominate, I don't see why the Eagles can't beat them in Philly. West coast teams always have trouble when they go cross country and play on the east coast.

I count that as impressive even if its last year. In fact, who has the Eagles beat that was impressive?

They beat SD and SF with their back up QB and were only down to Denver 24-20 going into the 4th quarter and had to finish the game with their 3rd string rookie at QB. They are legit and much better than Philly.

 

[links18]

We are going to be fighting it out with the Eagles for some weeks yet. I really wish they would have lost some of those early games.

 

[Deep_South]

Didn't they BEAT Seattle last year in Seattle? Don't underestimate the Cards. They are a tough team to beat.

The Cardinals have given up 20 points or less in all 5 of the games they have won, so they certainly can't be taken lightly. Payton Manning did put 41 on them, though, so Tony will want to watch that game in the film room.

I'm going to cop out and say I'm "cautiously optimistic" about the Eagles.
