Bledsoe and Boys offense put an *** whoopin on Eagles in Big D.

This is a huge game in hostile Vet (New philly dump) Since Aikman I never really had any faith any of our QB's going in could carry our team and take us over the top.

Bledsoe grew up in Washington and played in frigid Northeast his whole life. He's a fiery Vet that has a ton of pride and "gets" how big a game this is. We can basically knock Eagles out with another beating.

Even in 2003 (a nice 10-6 season) I never thought we were on par with the best in NFC and never thought we had a chance to really win it all. With our defense maturing and Drew's arm taking advantage of our many weapons. I sense a pick your poison now when you play us.

Keep loading up on the run and we'll put a 300 yard spot on you passing. Double Witten we have WR's to hurt you. Drop in coverage we'll ram it down your throats. Its no easy task to match up on our offense.

And as much fun as the bills/NY fans loved to beat Bledsoe down. Drew has shown why he was a #1 overall pick, 50,000 yard career guy. For my money maybe one of the most accurate medium and long range passer of my era. Accurate arm that if given time WILL eat your lunch.

I see a swagger to this team developing. We are a team on the rise. Home field is a mantra we need to start thinking about.

NFC championship game goes through Big D. Win the division and we are likely TWO wins away from a Lombardi game.

.

you know Bledsoe playing all his career prior to this yr at Washington St, New England and Buffalo means he is well adept at playing in inclement weather...we play at New York and at Washington in December where bad weather might impact QB alot, and Bledsoe definitely has an advantage over Brunell and Manning in that regard...

I also think someone brought up a good point the other day, Bledsoe's stats have been positively affected IMO due to playing in excellent weather conditions in Dallas (and having games in good weather in San, SD and Oakland)....but the fact he has alot of experience playing in bad conditions gives us a potential advantage going to Wash and NY in December as well, or if we have to return to either of those places or potentially Seattle in the playoffs

David:

Great points on late season and potential playoff implications. Another factor I'm sure Parcells factored in on Drews hire.

Bledsoe has to be absolutely thrilled to be throwing the majority of his games in friendly weather games. But fact is there will be a big game in inclement weather that could hinge this season.

Drew also has extensive Meadowlands experience which is huge...Wind swirls are huge there.

I'm really hoping we can get some plays created for Price that they haven't seen yet. That could be a very big wild card for that game. They won't really be able to game plan for it if they haven't seen it yet and if a particular play works then the Eagles D will be looking to stop it the next time it comes around which we can then use it as a decoy.

I Have NFL Sunday Ticket and saw most of Drews 4,500 yard Pro Bowl season in 2002. The season Miki claims never happened. Evenin!!!! Price caught 90+ PASSES!

The play they abused defenses was a deep stop route. Price would go 15 or so yards and stop - finding zone creases. He broke off many long TD's on forcing missed tackles and pivot moves - YAC stuff. Thats my prediction there.....

Physical, punishing defense with depth, 3 headed running attack, possession receivers in Witten, Key, Crayton, vet QB...
- yeah I'd say this team is built to win late season, inclement weather games in the NFC East. I like it alot.

February 5th - Detroit.

If you haven't booked it already expect to pay $10K to see it.
