Philly media already saying Eagles win by 2+ touchdowns

[texbumthelife]

The first time Murray and Church/Wilcox meet in the open field is going to be very interesting...

 

[CCBoy]

...Philadelphia?

 

[texbumthelife]

What I can't wait for is Sean Lee versus his old buddy, Demarco Murray. I would love to see Sean lay the wood to DM. I could see Sean stripping DM of the ball in a crucial moment.

I believe our defense will have a little chip on their shoulders (no pun intended) and a little something waiting for DM, Matthews, Sproles; their entire offense.

Mathews really ran hard against the Falcons. He was thumping people. I don't want to see any of them get a full head of steam, still don't trust our defensive backfield enough.

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

We'll see. To their credit, Philly was the only team to decisively beat us last year after Week 1. I like our chances on Sunday.

I usually don't make excuses but..

Wasn't it 3 games in 10 days or something?
Romo didn't take his shot?

It was an anomaly of sorts... We proved that in 2nd game.

 

[cej757]

I think this is the game where Demarco has a big fumble that swings the game in our favor.

 

[visionary]

Both them and the Giants always make these type of predictions. We just need to execute on offense and be aggressive and fly to the ball on defense. If we play our game, we'll win. I don't expect it any other way.

Giants are an average team at best and almost beat us

Philly is a much better team than the Giants and they always get up for our game. This time there will be extra motivation for Murray and we are without hardy and McClain

I'm actually going to give the edge to Garrett.

Garrett = xfactor

If Matt Ryan doesn't underthrow 3TDs passes(one INT by Alonso and 2 coverages by Barwin on a RB) it isn't even close.

I don't see Romo missing those throws.

That cracked me up when the announcer called a "great play" by the defender who was beat when the under-thrown pass landed on his helmet.

Tony Romo is not Matt Ryan. In a good way. Byron Maxwell gave up something like 180 yards last night, im sure Tony and co is well aware. Time to make the next laurent robinson for the next 4+ weeks. Be it Williams, Escobar or Street.

and Dez, Scandrick, Gregory & leary

If they win this one, the coaches and front office deserve mega kudos, I'll be surprised if the next month isn't really rocky and stressful

How good is Atlanta??

What worries me is that Murray knows our playbook inside and out. That Philly D will be coming to play, and will have an inside advantage. Or am i wrong in believing that?

I am not arguing with you point about Tony, but we also don't have anything close to Julio Jones at the moment. We will need to run the ball successfully to win this game.

Nothing we do is mysterious or disguised. It's one of the reasons our offensive line play is so important. Murray has nothing to tell the Eagles they don't already know, with the exception of the terms we use. Even then, it wouldn't make much of a difference.

I think the motivation factor works for us just as well. All the talk during the offseason was about how unstoppable the Eagles were; how without Murray the Cowboys will not be as successful, and the fact that we let the Giants hang around and almost win Sunday night. We have just as much motivation as they do, not to mention it's another divisional game, on the road none the less.

I think teams gain little with former players knowledge of the playbook. Teams see enough game films of each opponent to see what you are doing. Harris did not seem to help the Giants out much in terms of playbook as Romo seemed to know exactly what NY defense was doing through out the game

Not giving them too much credit they but when we virtually had about 2 days to get ready for that game after playing last Sunday night into Monday morning in New York. That game was a fluke and it showed when we played them again and what happened after that to them and us.

 

[Wood]

Dallas is down 5 starters. Philly should beat them by 2 TDs but they won't. The reason is that Eagles are overrated team.

 

[visionary]

How good is Atlanta??

I would submit to you that it is too early to tell how good any team is at this time

If you ask me how well Atlanta played? I would say very well in the first half (esp defense) and below average in second half

Dan Quinn had that defense balling in the first half

Please don't do this
